Waiting at the bikes, Daniel saw the last person start down the ladder as Teresa jumped up, and before they reached the road, everyone was down and running for the parking garage. Walking over to his bike, Daniel unlocked the right side compartment and pulled out his XDM. “I will not be without a gun again,” he said, racking the slide then clipping the holster on.
When Ginger reached the bikes, he was smiling and holding out his helmet to Teresa as she ran over to him. “I’m leading, so stay close,” Ginger said, jumping on her bike and pulling her helmet on. All she had to do was turn her key and go, which she did as Daniel’s bike roared to life.
“Teresa, lean the way I do, and don’t let go,” Daniel said, looking over at the building.
Crawling up to the ladder, Gary gripped it, pulling himself on the ledge. He threw his broken leg out and managed to get his good leg in a stirrup but couldn’t figure out how to continue down as the SPs busted open the jammed door. Gary’s jaw dropped open as they poured out, pressing against the net as more kept trying to come through the door.
He watched as one woman was pressed through the net like shredding cheese, and the net gave way as the bodies poured down the stairs like water. Panicking, Gary pulled his good leg out and tried to use only his arms. When Gary’s arms felt his weight, they said no.
Daniel watched the big form fall from the opening, then a mass of bodies followed it out in a steady stream. “Yeah, gravity’s a bitch,” he said, putting the bike in first, and Ginger sped off.
“Let’s go. You have a date,” Teresa said behind him.
“A first date I’ll never forget,” Daniel said, taking off after Ginger.
