Chapter 8: Counting on you.
As they ran, Mark couldn't help but wonder what a bunch of kids were doing out there instead of being in school. Whatever the cause, it was a really bad coincidence.
He also cursed the parents for being so careless. How could they just leave their kids out without any supervision?
As it turned out, all of the doors leading to the small open space were sealed shut. Not just locked but also blocked with junk from the inside making it impossible for them to break their way in.
That meant they would have to circle around to the front if they wanted to get outside, and with the sounds of gunfire increasing it looked like that wouldn't be an easy task.
The toddler he was carrying fell asleep at some point. Mark believed it was for the better; now she wouldn't have to witness whatever messed up things they might encounter on the way.
The two boys were hiding behind Lara and peeking at the corpse of the monster. From the looks of it, the maid seems to have smashed its skull with her bare hands. That made Mark both relieved and scared.
"There is a police station nearby." He said after checking their location on the map. "It's in the opposite direction of the gunfire. They should be safe there."
