&039;I can&039;t do this,&039; Paul said suddenly It was the first time that either he or Donna had spoken for more than an hour &039;Can&039;t do what?&039; &039;Stay here like this I can&039;t handle it I can&039;t just sit here knowing they&039;re out there waiting&039; &039;Well you&039;re going to have to handle it, aren&039;t you? There&039;s not a lot else we can do&039; Still crouching in the training room where they&039;d hidden since the incident hours earlier, the two survivors knew that there were still bodies out on the landing Occasionally Donna plucked up the courage to peer out through the , in of activity in the corridor outside

She had spent the last hours trying to work out why the creatures were there at all Had they been trapped by the heavy landing doors swinging shut, or had they made a conscious decision to wait there for the survivors to eain? Were they even capable of conscious decisionthat it had been sound that first attracted them to the tenth floor, Donna had come to the conclusion that it had been a domino effect of sorts that had drawn others to the scene It see to force its way inside had attracted another which in turn had attracted another and another and so on &039;So what are we going to do?&039; Paulto irritate Donna now &039;Jesus,&039; she sighed, &039;I don&039;t know&039; &039;We can&039;t sit here forever, can we?&039; &039;But what are we going to gain fro?&039;

&039;We&039;re ten floors up here The only way out is to go down the staircase and if anyto have a hell of a job trying to get through theht She didn&039;t bother to acknowledge hiht Much as she wanted to stay hidden in the office, she knew that if she followed her earlier line of thinking through, then more and more of the bodies could be attracted to the scene until it becaet away Her options looked decidedly bleak; take her chances with the diseased population or sit here and wait endlessly with this whinging hed up the odds before deciding it was tiht then,&039; she said, &039;let&039;s do it

We&039;ll try and find so to be any safer, that is&039; She watched Paul&039;s face He looked terrified Although he had been the one who had suggested they leave, it was obvious that the gri to sink in &039;But how?&039; he staet past them We don&039;t kno ht for a moment &039;Distract them,&039; she said eventually &039;There are doors at either end of the landing, aren&039;t there? We&039;ll draw theh the other&039; Paul looked into space, thinking carefully The expression on his face slowly began to change and Donna started to wonder whether she&039;d been hasty in her judgment of him He had listened and he suddenly looked ready to overcome his obvious nervousness and take as left of his life in his hands to leave the relative safety of the office

&039;Okay,&039; he said quietly, his voice a little , &039;so where do we go once we&039;re out there?&039; &039;Don&039;t know From what I can see we can pretty much take our pick of the entire city, maybe even the country&039; &039;We could find ourselves a car and try and get away&039; Donna shook her head &039;I don&039;t think that&039;s a good idea If those things outside are able to hear us now, all we&039;d be doing is drawing more attention to ourselves What we need is to find somewhere secure like this place, but with more than one way out&039; &039;There must be hundreds of places like that round here This is a city centre for God&039;s sake&039; &039;There&039;s the main police station round the corner for a start Then there&039;s the hospital, the university, shops, pubs&039; &039;If we could find somewhere with food supplies and drinks&039; &039;Christ, I couldsomewhere with real beds? Bloody hell, a decent-sized house would do, wouldn&039;t it?&039;

&039;There aren&039;ta fraction ht, e&039;re ready we could head out into the suburbs, ain &039;There&039;s one thing that we&039;re not taking into consideration here,&039; he sighed &039;What&039;s that?&039; &039;The bodies We both sahat that one tried to do to you As soon as we go outside we&039;ll be&039; &039;I still don&039;t think that body tried to do anything tothere I think if I&039;d stood still and stayed quiet it would have walked straight past&039; &039;I&039; each other, do they?&039; &039;I don&039;t know I haven&039;t seen enough to be able to say&039; &039;Look, assu, hoould they know that we&039;re not like the rest of theer and we look in better condition than they do, but after everything that&039;s happened to theed his shoulders &039;I don&039;t know Can we afford to take a chance like that?&039;

&039;Can we afford not to? You&039;re right, Paul, we could be trapped in here There s here in just a few hours, there ht even be that many out there now We don&039;t have an option&039; &039;When then? Now?&039; &039;Tonight&039; &039;Why wait?&039; &039;If we&039;re relying on the fact that their senses are poor, then why not wait a little longer until it&039;s dark outside? If they can&039;t see us properly in daylight, what chance have they got at night?&039;
