Capítulo 33: Prison Outbreak
"That son of a bitch has been here the whole time…" Jacob states as he stares at the blank screen, "So I was right…"
"Right? Right about, what?" Page asks.
"Luther using this island for experiments. That's the whole reason I came here in the first place. I've been searching for over a year," He slams his fist on the desk, "And he was under my nose the whole damn time!" There's a burning glint in his eyes that disappears as fast at it appeared.
"Well, we know where he is," Page says, "So just, calm down so we can think of a plan. I'm sure he has traps all over the place if he's been expecting us,"
"Yeah...you're right," Jacob replies before taking a deep breath. He then starts scanning through the other cameras. However, all the cameras soon start shutting off one by one, "Looks like we're going in blind," Jacob says as he moves away from the computer, "Stay close behind," Page and Derek nod in response before following Jacob back out. Looking at the prison they realize just how big it is, practically the size of the market. On the far left side of the building is a large tower, a Terrasave helicopter sitting on top. With their only way in being the front doors, which seem to be unprotected, the group cautiously makes their way past the arm-gate and down the road leading to the front.
They don't make a couple steps past the arch attached to the guard station before hearing the sound of a car approaching from behind. The car comes to a halt behind their SUV and Ada comes stepping out from it.
"You said you'd let me interrogate him before killing him," Ada says as she walks up to them, "Yet you left me in the dust,"
"Hey, I didn't know he was here, and besides, I'd knew you catch up in time,"
"Hmph," She huffs irritably, "Well I'm suppose to meet him asap. I have no doubt he's aware of you finding me out, so hurry before he tries anything funny,"
"Will do," Jacob replies as Ada starts walking away to the left side of the building.
"What was that all about?" Page asks.
"Like I told Derek, Luther has something of hers and that's why she even considered doing anything for him,"
"Told Derek? So you knew he was here?"
"Yeah, I found him shortly after you passed out,"
"And you didn't think to tell me?"
"I thought it wouldn't matter at the time. I never realized how terrible he was at spying,"
"Wouldn't matter? Letting me know that the person who killed a president and was responsible for a massive outbreak in China is on the island with us is kind of important," Page lets out a deep breath before continuing, "After we get Luther, you and I need to talk,".
"Yeesh, okay," He replies before turning back to the prison, the three of them starting to walk, "I didn't know having a one night stand with someone as a birthday gift meant being in a relationship with them…" He mutters to himself. Something about Jacob's comment annoys Derek, but he just can't seem to figure out why.
As the group approaches the large grey building surrounded by wire fencing topped with razer-wire, they realize the quietness of the whole place, with the only sounds being their footsteps on the concrete road. Reaching the front doors, they peek through the small windows into the lobby, the lights are on but no one is inside. Jacob checks the door, it's unlocked. Page and Jacob open the doors quickly, bringing up their guns, ready to shoot at anything that comes their way. But nothing does.
The faint buzzing of the lights overhead are the only things that greet them. Making their way through the lobby to a security checkpoint, the three of them all have their guns at the ready, the feeling of something being over their shoulders starting to crawl up onto them. Through a heavy door, there's a metal detector gate at the end of a hallway that leads to what must be a greeting area. To the side of the detector is a machine where one would put metallic items and phones to be scanned. The group walks through the gate, and the alarm starts going off.
They all expect something to come bursting through a door or zombies to start banging on the glass where people can talk though with phones, but nothing comes. Walking through a door into a small hallway, the sound of the alarm gets muffled almost entirely once the door closes behind them. The door in front of them has no window to see what's on the other side. Heading through, they find themselves in the cafeteria area, a large room that spans a couple yards in length. Some cells stacked on each other line the walls, with some walkways above lining the walls. A large doorway leads to a hallway full of more cells. Prisoners sit inside them, all of them now starting to shout and hit the bars of their cells at seeing the three people with guns walking into their prison.
"So, how dangerous are these criminals?" Derek asks Jacob as he looks around at all the inmates.
"Nothing you can't handle, just-," A blood curdling scream brings everyone to a sudden silence. The three of them all look at a cell on the second floor at the other end of the room to see a guy pulling on the prison bars. His shirt is torn at the shoulder where a bloody injury is.
"Someone get me out of here! This guy's gone-!" Before he can finish he's grabbed by another guy whose mouth is stained with blood and pulled back into the cell out of sight. More screams of agony can be heard but they soon get cutoff. Some of the inmates on the other side who can see what's happening start panicking and freaking out.
"Holy shit he's eating him!"
Suddenly more screams can be heard coming from other cells throughout the room and even coming from the hall.
The lights suddenly go out and red ones turn on as an alarm starts to sound. Suddenly all the gates to the cells open up, and all the inmates run out of their cells, including the infected ones.
"Shit! This way, hurry!" Jacob exclaims before taking off towards the hallway on the other end of the room. Derek and Page quickly follow. Meanwhile, several; inmates trying to escape are attacked by infected inmates, rapidly spreading whatever virus has been implanted in them. Luckily the inmates are panicking too much to be any problem to Page, Derek, or Jacob as they head for the hallway. Jacob manages to beat them, and the second he runs into the hallway, a gate slams down, separating him from Page and Derek.
"Fuck!" Jacob exclaims as he turns around to Page and Derek.
"What do we do?" Page asks as her and Derek run up to the bars.
"Go to the kitchen, there must be another way around, I'll meet you guys at the head office, it's in the back part of the prison, second floor, stay safe,"
"You too," Page replies before Jacob turns around and readies his shotgun. Most of the inmates have already been turned into zombies at this point.
"Jesus, and I thought the airborne virus spread fast," Derek comments as he brings up his gun. Most of the inmates have made their way downstairs, making the upstairs walkways the much safer option. Hurrying up the stairs some inmates see them. Page notices their eyes are bloodshot and crazed. Uroboros. These zombies move much faster, and are sprinting towards the stairs after them. Making their way to the walkways they rush past cells, running past the blood stained cell where the first screaming man had been. Page is suddenly pulled into a nearby cell by a large man.
"If I'm dying I'm having you first!" The guy exclaims as Page tries to break free of his grip but the man presses her against him, wrapping his arms around her in a tight grip.
"Get off her!" Derek shouts as he punches the man in the face, causing the guy to let her go and stumble back a bit. Derek punches him again and again and again, blood coming from the inmate's nose and mouth now.
"Derek come on!" Page yells, having to stop him from punching the man again, "We need to go!" Derek turns to the man to see his scared, bloodied face, before turning back to Page. The two run out of the cell and run as the zombies continue their chase, Derek wishing he was able to beat that man to death. Nearing the cafeteria the two head down some stairs, the zombie behind them jumping down from the walkways to the floor below. They run into the cafeteria, past rotting food filled with some black goo looking stuff and through a large heavy metal door.
They enter a long thin hall, Derek quickly shutting and locking the door behind them as they hear sudden pounding coming from the other side. They take a breather, Derek shaking his blood stained hand that he had used to punch the guy. Page takes notice of it, recalling just how angry he looked as he beat the shit out of that guy.
"...Thanks for helping me back there," Page says hesitantly.
"...What?" Derek replies, taken by surprise.
"Thanks for getting that guy off me,"
"Oh...uh, no problem…" He replies as he looks back to his blood covered knuckles. As he stares at them he finds himself questioning his actions once more. He still feels the sudden fury he had gotten at seeing the man grab Page, and he's even more angered still unable to figure out why he got mad in the first place.
"Derek, you alright?" Page asks.
"Y-Yeah…" He walks past Page, avoiding eye contact, "We best hurry and meet up with Jacob, before anything else shows up,"
Page stands there for a second, a troublesome thought idea in her mind. She shakes it off and catches up to Derek. Several doors on both sides of the hall lie ahead of them. The first door to their left has a small window that lets them peek inside. It's the other end of the glass in the greeting area, the siren can be heard partly but the thick glass manages to keep away most of it. There's something sitting on the counter at the end of the room. Page walks in first, keeping an eye out for anything that might appear on the other side. Derek follows, keeping an eye on the doorway.
As Page reaches the other end she sees the thing is just a pen. As the two start making their way back to the hall they see movement. Suddenly some zombies come running into the room, and upon seeing Page and Derek, start pounding on the glass. Luckily it's a very thick piece of glass and doesn't budge. The two quickly head back out into the hall, making sure to lock the door, just in case. Walking past more doors, all of which have windows, they glance in to find nothing and no one. Reaching the end of the hall, it continues on to their right and a door ahead of them with no window stands in front of them.
They look down the hall to see it just goes on and on, with more doors on the right side and some windows on the left. Page opens the door in front of them and peeks out to see it leads out to an outdoor yard, a lone basketball sitting in an empty court. She closes the door and the two turn to the right and continue down the hall. As they walk down the hallway, the lights go out, they're only source of light being the moonlight coming in from the windows.
Page feels something brush up against her shoulder, she sees Derek is standing close to her. Derek turns to her, noticing her noticing him.
"Sorry," He states as he steps away, turning on his gun's light. Page tries shake it off, turning on her gun's flashlight and pointing it in front of her to light her way better.
As if it weren't bad enough that I'm stuck with him, again, but now the power's out, again.
As the two continue walking down the hall, that seems to have grown much longer thanks to the darkness, Derek finds himself glancing at Page. The moonlight seems to make her features softer, despite her serious and focused expression. Page realizes this, wanting to shout at him to stop but not wanting to risk making a loud noise.
"Derek,"
"Yeah?"
"Can you stop looking at me?"
"I wasn't, I was-" Derek stops when he sees something walking outside the perimeter of the outdoor yard. Page sees something has his attention and looks out the window to see it too. It's hard to tel what the hell it is with how mangled its body is. It looks almost just like a large black mass with four unevenly sized legs. Two large tails or limbs or something, stick out of the back end. Two large horns sit on the head, which appears to be opened up like a flower, four smaller limbs tipped with razer-sharp claws sticking out from what they can only guess to be its mouth.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Page mutters as the heavily mutated bull continues to walk around the perimeter of the yard.

TIWHimitsu Well shit, seems like Page has found herself in quite the pickle. Hopefully they can meet up with Jacob a lot faster than in the city, but it seems like that might not be the case with that darn bull out and about. Hope you guys are on the edges of your seats, if you're sitting, and let me know what you think so far. :)
