&039;So instead of letting theo a little further&039;
&039;What are you suggesting?&039;
&039;Lead them up onto the roof&039;
&039;And?&039;
&039;And that&039;s it What they do up there is their business If they stay true to form they&039;ll follow each other up, one after another, until there&039;s no room left&039;
&039;Then what?&039;
&039;Then they&039;ll either start forcing the thee!&039;
&039;Brilliant,&039; Jones grinned &039;Absolutely fucking brilliant!&039;
He couldn&039;t believe what he was hearing Was thethey spend their last few days sitting in a luxury hotel suite watching three week old bodies push each other off the roof?
&039;It&039;s worth a go, isn&039;t it?&039; Bushell s even himself, &039;let&039;s do it&039;
The roof of the building was accessed fro doorway at the top of the ress towards them, Jones and Bushell crept up towards the hatch that would lead them outside
&039;It&039;s locked,&039; Bushell grunted as he tried to push the door open
&039;Don&039;t you have the key? You&039;ve got keys to everywhere else&039;
&039;Sorry&039;
&039;Smash it open then&039;
&039;What about the noise?&039;
Jones looked down the staircase, back into the heart of the building Even fro movement
&039;Bit late to worry about that,&039; he mumbled
With li hiainst the door It rattled in its frame but didn&039;t open Another couple of attempts were equally unsuccessful
&039;Letthe other e of well aian to splinter and crack Another few kicks and it flew open
The two men climbed out onto the roof A phenomenal wind threatened to blow the to shout to make himself heard, &039;bit blustery, isn&039;t it&039;
Bushell didn&039;t answer He was already busying hies For the bodies to be able to keepforward the doorould need to remain clear The only way to make sure that happened was to remove the door completely Jones picked up a discarded strip of an to prise at the hinges A couple of ave way
&039;That&039;s it,&039; Bushell said, dragging the now redundant door away and dropping it on the asphalt &039;Let&039;s get back&039;
The two men clattered back down the staircase towards the Presidential Suite Jones stopped at the top of the staircase and peered down at the bodies un to htly quicker than they had been? He tried to think logically as he watched the distance between the living and the dead rapidly evaporate Previously the bodies had been driven by the pressure of others pushing theed now? The ansas simple The corpses furthest up the stairs no that there were survivors above Rather than wait to be pushed forward, those at the front of the queue were nowunder their own stea rapidly Jones stood on the landing and watched the nearest of the rotting figures aardly cli towards the top floor of the hotel Bushell stood next to hi faster,&039; Jones said quietly, not quite believing what he was seeing &039;I think we need to&039; He stopped speaking when one of the bodies looked up at hi it? No, now Bushell had seen it too The creatures were looking at them
&039;Move,&039; Bushell said siue
&039;Done it?&039; Proctor asked hopefully as they burst back through the main doors
Bushell nodded
&039;Done it&039;
&039;Nohat?&039;
&039;We an to say
&039;What&039;s the matter?&039; Doreen asked, concerned
Jones still stood by the open doors, looking back down the corridor and occasionally turning round and glancing over his shoulder at the others He was about to try and tell them what they&039;d seen when the first bodies appeared on the landing Elizabeth covered her mouth in horror and stifled a terrified scream Proctor scra hell&039; gasped Wilcox
&039;They saw us,&039; Joneswe could do&039;
