Born 01 - Born

door there is another hallway with a kitchen and garden like our side. I run and open the first door. "Wake up and help wake the other girls. You have to tell them the infection has reached us. We are all going to the pool. RUN!"
    Two women get up and start gathering their babies. This is the baby hallway. I hear babies starting to cry as I make my way to the next door with a scanner on it. When I open it, I see a man talking to a young girl on a couch. He's rubbing her leg and shaking his head. I raise my gun and take aim. They don’t see me. His hand squeezes her thigh and my finger pulls the trigger before I reason with myself. His head jerks back. Blood seeps down between his eyes. She sees the blood spray on the back wall and screams. She screams louder when she sees me.
    I put a finger to my lips. "The infection has gotten in. Tell everyone to wake up and get to the pool. Hurry. They're destroying the building."
    Silent tears roll down her cheeks. "He was such a kind man," she whispers.
    "If you want to stay here with him, feel free. You will be dead shortly if you do. Then you can be together. Forever." She's up and running before I have to say another word.
    I knock on another door just in case she decides to be a moron.
    I wake a young girl with a swollen belly. She can't be older than Anna. I gag a little. "Everyone needs to wake up. The infection has spread here. Everyone to the pool. Wake everyone and go there now."
    I go to swipe the card to open the next door at the end of the long hallway, but it opens. A shiny woman with a pretty face frowns. "Who are you?"
    I lift the gun and pull the trigger before she has a chance to scream. She drops to the floor. I step over her and see another nurse. I know I am in the little kid section. I shoot the nurse in the back of the head. I look back and see a girl with brown hair who has a slightly swollen belly. "Come and help the small kids get out."
    She follows me but stops when she sees the dead nurse.
    "They're going to leave us here to get the infection. The alarm is going to sound in a minute or so. They plan to blow the building up. The pool is the best bet apparently."
    She bites her lip hesitantly. "You are a doctor?"
    "I'm one of you. I was on the women's side. They're going to let us die."
    She steps over the nurse. "I never liked that bitch anyway." She smiles at the small girl in front of her. "Hey, you need to come with me, okay?"
    I turn and walk back. Every hall I pass through has women running scared. Nurses are on the floors trying to calm everyone. I shoot the few I can hit without injuring anyone else. It makes the screaming worse.
    I round a corner and hear a woman speaking. "When the alarm sounds, we know then that it's an evacuation. Not until then."
    I sneak my way behind her and run to the garden where Leo waits. We leave through the other door. I feel lost.
    I leave the doorway and enter into a staff area. In here, I see a map on the wall. I tear it off and start walking. I climb a set of stairs and enter another hallway.
    "Hey, you. Where do you think you're going?"
    I turn and shoot without thought. The man in the lab coat drops. I know the guards will be coming soon. Normally they aren’t allowed in where the women are, but dead doctors and nurses are going to alert someone.
    I look down at the map again to see where the elevator is. I smash the glass it is in and pull the paper out. I fold the small map and put it in my pocket. I round the corners with stealth. I shoot one doctor who is on the phone. He drops it onto the desk and collapses. I scan my way onto the elevator. I push B. I assume it means basement.
    When the door opens, I am instantly afraid. It's dark and steamy. The place makes noises I've not heard in long time. Noises motors make.
    Leo is afraid. I can see it in his stance and the hackles on his back.
    I peer out into the dim light. No one is there but I am terrified. I step out with Leo next to me. We walk slowly, looking all around us. My stomach is knotted tighter than when Will touches me.
    A hissing noise blasts beside us. Leo and I jump as steam is released from a valve. I almost laugh when it happens, but I feel nauseous for a moment. My injuries are clearly not gone.
    A red light starts flashing and a loud alarm goes off. I see the red light on the wall. In the flashes of red light, I see the far left corner where the detonation place is. I run to the corner. I look at the red flashes and wonder if the dead
