We made it out, and it was a miracle from God. So much happened yesterday I had no time to post. I was spending time with those infected. I had to abandon my lab, but I was able to take some basic equipment. enough to use the blood of those bitten to discover the reason the virus adapts so quickly is because it bonds to the bodies genetic code, and it speeds up the bodies adaptive qualities and uses the bodies own antibodies to fight the anti-virals. this is a huge step towards a cure.
While spending time with the three victims, teacher spoke to me. The teachers name is Joe Palladino he's the adviser for the film department. I met him at orientation I got lost and ran in to him he was carrying a poster for "Revenge of the Jedi" (this was the title of Star Wars 6 until it was changed to "Return of the Jedi"). Being a huge Star Wars fan I thought this was really cool, and we've talked many times since then. Anyway, he told me yesterday about a rumored secret tunnel system that connects every building together. It even leads to an exit on the beach. I spent the rest of the day searching for the secret passage, my search turned out to be fruitless.
Later that night while everyone slept, I awoke to a disconcerting silence. There was the usual snoring and breathing of hundreds of people sleeping but something was missing. Coughing! The jock who had been bitten developed a horrible cough while being sick. I rushed over to see if he had expired, but I found a figure standing over the three bitten victims the jock and glee club kid a bloody holes where their temples once were, and the killer stood over Palladino ready to strike again. I tackled them, but they ran off before i could see their. Although I had an idea of who it was, and it terrified me because that means the line for this had gone from blurred to gone.
The next day we wrapped the two murdered people up in curtains and had a wake for them. Palladino asked why I saved him. He was good as dead anyway. I told him, "All human life is important, and as long as someones heart beats they are alive in my book." I also told him, that when he turns I will the one to do the hard thing, and take him out. definitely the most bizarre conversation I've ever had. They started questioning student about the murders, but I knew exactly who to go to.
After the wake I hunted down Quentin. I found him ripping the wings of a fly. He looked up at me and said, "What do you want lardo? " I didn't say a word just grabbed him by his collar and slammed him up against. "What the f..." i punched him in the gut before he could finish his sentence, and told him, " Shut Up! You don't say anything unless you're answering my question. Got it, you sadistic inbred goon !?" He just nodded. "which one of your nut jobs killed those two people?" he said, "people? you mean the Psychs?", "No, I mean the to living human being murder last night. I know for a fact they hadn't turned yet. You guys crossed the line, and you will pay." I responded. He just shrugged and said " It's a new world Humans are done> we might as well enjoy the ride out as a new top of the food chain rises. You should let go man, we're done and the Psychs will rule this world soon. Your a religious man, well where's your pathetic God now!?"
I must admit I lost my temper I threw his into this old large painting that was on the adjacent wall. But rather than hit the wall behind the painting Quentin went through it. Bu were in the basement and the walls are cement. When I rushed over I found that he had fallen into hole in the wall, and in the hole was a door I opened the door to find a tunnel. It was the one Palladino talked about. I looked at him while he rubbed the back of his head in pain. I looked at him and said "Where's my God now? he's right beside me. Now get up and go run back to your freaks" He ran off and I just stayed looking at this miracle.
In the tunnel there were colored lines on the floor and a guide to say what lines led where. Red went to the beach, Blue to Stork tower, and green to the warehouse. I'm assuming the warehouse is the big red storehouse at near the Film department. I brought this info back to the small council of teachers in charge, and they told me the military has plans to evac at the beach, but we had no way of getting there. they will be shipping people out to oil riggers off the coast those are the safest places. We began filling people into the tunnel. Me and the gang volunteered as wranglers. Although, we thought it would be a simple task it got complicated when a group of about ten psychs busted in and all hell broke lose every one rushed the tunnel.
Me, the gang and a few others were fighting of the Psychs some people got bit, and when that happened there were two reactions. Either they gave up and collapsed in tears or, the turned into war machines. They knew a bite was death so it came down to whether they had nothing to live for any more or they had nothing to lose. Of course Quentin and his sadist were long gone. The one time they could be useful they're gone. they left very soon after a confronted Quentin. The last couple stragglers got in the tunnel, and we started backing up ourselves to the tunnel but we where surrounded while we fought more Psychs came. there were two blocking the exit. It was just me and the gang. Out numbered we all backed up together prepare for the fight of our lives.
When suddenly out of nowhere comes Palladino. he was swinging one of those things banks use to make line queues. he took out the two blocking the tunnel with one mighty swing. He yelled, " Go I'll hold them off, I'm repaying a debt." He looked me right in the eyes when he said that. "Thank you", I said. He swung the post again knocking a Psych's head clean off " you're welcome. Now go!", and with that he flung himself into the hoard swinging the post like grand slam batter. The door closed behind us and that was the last we ever saw of Joe Palladino.
We sealed the door behind us, and ran to catch up with rest of the group but we heard helicopter above ground. We then heard explosions and the ground shook. The military must have been trying to keeps the Psychs from the beach. However, as we ran down the tunnel we could hear voices, but just as we were about 50 feet from everyone else there was another series of explosions, and the tunnel collapsed between us and the other students. There was no way of getting to them. Anne freaked out and started yelling expletives. Brian asked, "well Jake, what now? It took me a second to think but then I answered, "We already passed several other corridors including the two big ones for Stork tower and the warehouse. So we have a choice. Where do we go"? We decided we would go to the warehouse because it was passed the line of fire so there should be less Psychs. By the time we reached the warehouse we were so tired. So we found a small room on the second floor that we could lock and get some rest. It was so dark we could barely see luckily I had internet to post this. So, I"ll be back tomorrow, thanks to God and Joe Palladino.
