Chapter 2: Chapter 2
Brian were scrolling through his phone just when his phone rang. He took it by surprise -
"Hello; is it Brian?". It was a women's voice.
"Sam, are you alright?"; he asked back.
Aldrin's focus were shifted to Brian. She got up from her chair, leaned Gerald against Clad who was sleeping beside her; and went to him.
"Is everything okay?"; she enquired.
"It was my daughter phone number"
"So who was at the end of the line? Your wife?"
"No it was a cop. Told me she got this phone and number inside a 'cursed' who they just eliminated. She was just informing me."; Brian said this and walked away.
Clad woke up to see Aldrin, in a chair; weeping. She rubbed her eyes and made a quick glance at the surrounding. She was satisfied by their short period of success.

Aldrin opened her eyes. She was in her bedroom waiting for her husband to wake her up. She felt a tiny tingle on her feet. She smiled. She could feel him right before her face. He kissed her and she smiled even harder. She got up and grabbed the book that was lying beside her. She tried to cover her face with the book to hide her emotions.
He moved the book away from her and offered Aldrin, her bed coffee. She took it from him and kissed him in return. She was sipping her coffee while he was getting ready for his office. She went to the kitchen.
She heard a door bell.
He went to open it and looked through the window. She heard two gun shot and it was all over in a minute. Police found her half dead in her bedroom.
She walks into the morgue. It was cold.
Aldrin woke into the reality. She heard some wild banging on staircase door. She could see who was it and they could also see them.
She ran to Clad who was napping at the end of that hallway. She woke up surprised but quickly read the situation. Clad tried to pick Gerald up but soon failed. Meanwhile Aldrin were running up the opposite stairs to find Brian. She was just hoping he is safe or, maybe still alive.

Brian was done running. This is not going to get anywhere. He took a seat. It was not so far away from the escape hatch in case of any emergency. He looked around. His eyes were still moist. Life was so easy and smooth until a weeks ago. No one really understood what happened. They were slow to realize their life crumbling right before their eyes. He was in disbelief. He can still remember Sam running around him -
"No, it was years before"; he told to himself.
She stood up and kicked a trash can that was lying beside. He pressed his face against the wall and cried. Sound didn't came out. He just heard an another sound.
" It is coming from the other floor. Aldrin.."
He rushed to the staircase and opened the door and went flying down. He crossed one floor and turned the other corner and stopped.
'Cursed', an army of it!
Flesh was tangling from their neck. There were bite marks. He stood still. They were scratching the door and trying to open it. He took a deep breath. He slowly back away without making much noise as he could.
It was a tough situation. He didn't know if he should think about himself or about others.
He ran back to his floor and closed the door behind him. He was taking a deep breath when a cold hand landed on his right shoulder.
His hands searched through his waist for his gun. He took it and with a quick movement turned back and pointed at its head. It was Aldrin. And behind her was Clad. He can also see Gerald in chair beside them.
Brian hugged her.
" I was so worried about you. You OK? ";
asked Brian.
"Yeah"
"Guys, see me?"; Clad interrupted.
They both looked at her and turned back to each other. They both knew what should be done. They should play a bait.
" Clad, we need Gerald."; said Brian.
" What do you mean by that?"
" We need to play a bait."; Aldrin tried to
convince her.
"What are you guys saying? You went crazy?
You only told you wouldn't left him to die"
"Yeah, at that time he was at least talking and
now he's not.
Look Clad. We are carrying a corpse."; told
Brian.
"He's not dead -
not yet."; cried Clad.
"So, you're telling me to carry a half dead man
around some walking ghosts so you can
satisfies your emotions and kill us all."
mocked Brian.
"Well you wouldn't have to do this if you hadn't
screwed up in the first place."
"Guys, stop it.
Please...
We'll save Gerald and get out of this place -
alive!"; interrupted Aldrin.
They looked at each other. They seems to be aggre to a common term. Brian lifted Gerald up to his shoulders
" So, what's our move? "; enquired Brian.
"I got a plan"; Aldrin replied.
