Bishop had gotten off the conveyor belt and was running toward me I knew I had to cole to catch my breath My stomach screaht have ripped out a few stitches

With Bishop claet to me, all I could do ait I backed up as far froot up on the belt and her hands stretched out for rab my feet

The surface was srip I alrab her hand and help her up, just so we could get this going If I thought she wouldn’t have bit me, I probably would’ve done it

Thanks to her iot up She stood on the e, I pulled the chain back, and then swung it at her as hard as I could

The hook sunk into her side, tearing through her flesh It actually worked out ht under her ribs The chainfro out of her side As she screeched and babbled in her new zo out of her h, and she kept reaching out for rab me, even as she spun in a slow circle

Then she threw her head back and let out a long howl, su other zombies I’m not sure how close they were, but with a city nearby, there had to be other zombies And I could not face them

I jumped down off theBishop was still alive, but there wasn’t anything I could do about that I couldn’t even reach her where she was hanging, and part of one off e told her, if she’d actually done as best for Stella instead of turning into a crazy kidnapping bitch, this wouldn’t have happened So this is what she gets Since zombies couldn’t really die, not unless their heads or hearts were da fro time

"Stella!" I lay on the ground in front of her and reached otta go"

"When Bishop started getting sick, she told me to stay under here and not to come out for anyone," Stella said

So when she’d actually started turning, she’d had Stella hide That was noble of her, except I don’t knohat good that would’ve done Stella would’ve just died underneath that machine or been ripped to shreds by Bishop if she ever ca and hanging froet out of here"

"Bishop said – "

"Look, Stella, I need you to trustto hurt you, and I never will But we have to get out of here Now"
