Nephi stood, and got his keys out of his pocket.  He held them out to Karen and said "When we get to my car, could you drive it to the RV?  It'd save us some time."  He then took up a position next to Karen and gave a little smile.  "Don't worry.  The Lord is watching over us."

Taking the keys and holding them tightly Karen nods and smiles as she replies, "That's very comforting Nephi, especially coming from you." She says daring to lean in close to the young miracle worker, and if she even thought she saw the signal to give Nephi a kiss, and if she misread a peck on the cheek.

Nephi turned his head towards Karen, just in time for her lips to meet his.  His face turned bright red at the unaccustomed contact, and he quickly turned away, stuttering incoherently.

"How does this sound?" Geoff said, "As soon as we get out and shut the door behind us, we move slowly toward the cars using the sprayer to hold off the zombies. Once we're at the cars, we can see how the mob is reacting. Hopefully we can hold the mob off at the cruiser and a small group can get to the RV and drive it to us. If that's a no-go, we just move slowly to the RV."

He paused for a moment, "As soon as we get out we may need to use guns to hold the zombies off until we can deploy the sprayer, after that I'd suggest we try to conserve ammunition as much as we can. OK, is that clear enough for everyone? Or does someone else have a different take on how we get out?"

Turning away just as quickly, Karen smiles softly touching her lips as she feels her heart flutter with joy, even in the middle of the chaos all around them as the dead rise to consume the flesh of the living, with the help of some kind of alien parasite ofcourse.

Nephi recovered his composure as he heard Geoff's voice going over the plan, and he added "I've already given Karen my keys to drive my car to the RV.  Your way sounds better though."

"Okay then." Nodded Eddie, recovering his shotgun. "I'll lead."

They quickly worked out a suitable marching order; Xynthia, who would be the last to follow, moved to the side of the door, ready to open it.

Then they were out. Several zombies slowly turned to look at them.

Monica looked at the horde of zombies in front of them and caught the gaze of the zombie leader. It felt as if his eyes were burning through her soul. Her skin went pale as she broke out in a cold sweat. She stood there, staring into empty space, frozen and unable to move.

Xynthia, feeling the zombie leader's aura, gritted her teeth and swore under her breath.

"Don't look at their leader!" She yelled - somewhat too late to help Monica.

"Mon, duck down so I can get a clear shot," said Hector as he tried to get a bead on the one to Monica's left with his shotgun. "Mon......MONICA!" he then shouted to get her attention. Realizing she was frozen to the spot he then called out, "Shit....Nephi, I think we need some of that healing mojo over here!"

Grabbing Monica Karen moves her out of the way while keeping her eyes off the leader, wherever it was. "I'm certain it's just shock." Karen states as she waves Nephi over for his oppinion and help.

Nephi spared a glance at Monica, and said "Pretty sure it's shock.  I'm a little more worried about the incoming zombies though.  Snap her out of it if you can."

He then set himself, and prepared to strike the first zombie to come within reach of his blade.

Something was wrong with Monica and Geoff didn't have time to find out. He stopped manhandling the heavy boiler on its jack trolley and pulled out his Beretta.

He aimed at the first of the two zombies approaching from his side and fired at its spine. After shooting at the first zombie he switched to the second and fired again.

Releived that Nephi agreed with her, Karen turned back to carring for the stunned Monica/ "Mon, Monica hun, snap too we need you back to your old self." Karen said snapping her fingers before Monica's eye and even gently shaking her.

Allan pointed his glock at the zombie directly across from his wife, and aimed for the spine.

Geoff's bullets hit both zombies with uncanny precision. They both fell in mid-shuffle, face first, dead once again.

Allan's zombie lunged forward - and the movement brought it square in the path of a bullet that would have otherwise narrowly missed its spine. It fell to the ground in a heap.

Anton leveled his assault rifle, aiming for the nearest zombie, and released a short burst that hit in all the wrong places, missing the spine completely.

And yet, the zombie fell, and didn't seem inclined to stand again.

A moment later, a cry of outrage resounded, as the leader zombie realized the nature of the bullets Tony was carrying.

Slowly, it started toward the group, a trail of black ichor marking the spots where the deformed masses of flesh that one might have called its feet touched the ground.

"Keep moving!" Allan yelled. "Drag Monica with you if you have to, but don't stop." He took Xynthia's hand to keep her close to him as he continued to move forward.

"Do like the Rev says!" Geoff concurred, "Karen, take over the sprayer, Jane, you look after Monica."

Geoff got ready to move the heavy gear forward as the rest of the group reorganised.

"Ok, I'll do my best." Karen says manning the sprayer and aiming it at the closest zombie before giving it a good spray.

Karen, having to juggle the sprayer and the generator, lost precious seconds; taking advantage of the delay, the last remaining zombie lunged at Nephi, exposing itself mindlessly to his rapier in its hunger.

Jane didn't lose any time trying to snap Monica out of her trance: she hauled her friend over her shoulder and started forward.

Catching the incredulous looks the others shot her, she simply commented: "Girl dates firemen, she learns a thing or two..."

Nephi allowed a smirk to cross his face as the two zombies came within reach of his blade.  "Too easy." he said, as he struck twice...

Not wanting to spray Nephi by accident, let alone given the fact that he had handled the zombies nearest to them, Karen managed to move the gen and handle the sprayer, so far.

As the next wave of Zombies approached, Allan once again took careful aim and fired a shot at the zombie on his left.
