20 "Grab the fire extinguisher and come with me," she said.

Says:

"Grab the fire extinguisher and come with me," she said. Confused and startled, I bent down and picked it up off the ground. She ran around the corner and I panted trying to keep up. “Hand it to me,” she said sharply while peeking around the corner. She took it in her hand and then swung it out into the hallway blindly. She stepped out from the corner before it hit the tile floor and pumped three bullets into it. Still panting, I peered around the corner to see 3 dead guards and the girl, Cindy, running down the hall.

Something told me that wasn’t her real name. Something else told me that she wasn’t really “just a nurse.” I waited a few before jogging after her, trying to keep up.

“Wait up--” I tried shouted, before she popped me in the shin with her pistol.

“I told you to keep quiet. You just had to go and make things difficult,” she said, picking me up and slinging me over her shoulder, “Now they now you’re here.”

“Why does it matter if I’m here? This is a hospital. I have every--” Again I got cut off by her hitting me again, this time with her fist.

“Let me put it this way boy. You’ve been contaminated. You are a threat to everyone here. I’ve got less than an hour to get you back to headquarters.” She said this and then was quiet, listening for something. Without warning she sprinted towards the window, with me bouncing on her shoulder, and broke through it. Three stories up. I remember a helicopter noise, but that’s about the time I blacked out.
