The second they stepped out ,the door was shut behind them and Aiden immediately had to start shooting,it was amazing to Kara and even Marco who knew a thing or two about shooting,the fact that Aiden shot ten times and had ten head shots with ease was so overwhelming,just who was this man? Who was he before all this started? Why was he here?

"Don't just stand there like a confused teenager move to the car?"

Jerked back into reality,Kara started moving towards the vehicle,carrying her father was proving to be harder than she thought,thankfully Aiden's pistols had the silencer on,so they made little or no sound.

Finally they made it across the street where their black mini van was,she opened the back door and eased her father in there with the help of the new kid,closed the door and rushed to the driver's sit "Are the two of you okay back there?" she asked while glancing at the rear view mirror.

"We are good pumpkin....we are good" Marco said,but to Kara he didn't sound good at all,his voice was barely a whimper and she could see the beads of sweat forming on his forehead and travelling down his face,she looked away to stop herself from crying and caught  a glimpse of Aiden sneaking into the hotel.

"Alright,he said that if in fifteen minutes he doesn't return we should go....." as she said this she glanced at her watch,the time was 3:36.

Aiden checked his watch before entering the hotel,it was 3:36, by 3:51 he had to be done,as he slowly opened the door to the hotel a deadly silence followed,there was no one at the receptionist's desk despite the obvious signs of struggles, puddles of blood, body parts and even organs just laying on the floor.

Aiden's gaze remained emotionless as he considered the situation,his room was on the third floor,taking the stairs would certainly leave him with the only option possible,fighting his way through,on the other hand the elevator could turn out to be a Pandora's box if the doors opened on a floor infested by the undead......a gamble,Aiden had always sucked at that.Also,if the undead were upstairs that meant there could still be survivors,because when the chopper passed and the undead were unable to follow it because of the door,something must have attracted them back upstairs.

"Elevetor it is then....." He paused when he started feeling minor vibrations going through the floor,he had little time left,he entered the elevator and quickly put his hand  in his chest pocket looking for extra ammunition but instead his hand landed on his phone and an idea flashed in his head,he unlocked the phone and put one of his favourite songs,increased the volume to the maximum and slid the phone to the centre of the room,the ruckus the phone created in that silence immediately attracted the undead from upstairs as he heard several foot steps heading down,he counted till five and punched the third floor's button.

As the elevator went upwards Aiden whistled an old Russian tune while hearing the frantic noises made by the  undead heading down, he also checked his watch 

"3:41" He whispered,he knew that the elevator was on the other side of the hallway,away from the staircase so the chances of meeting the undead at first would be slim,but once he appeared in the hallway,he would basically become a sitting duck,so he prepared his room key down.

The elevator's doors opened and as he predicted no undead was in sight except those on the far end still rushing downstairs,they mostly toppled on each other due to the reckless way they moved  and their inability to climb down the stairs.

"Shit" He muttered , he was without a doubt going to get spotted,but there was nothing he could do about that,he rushed out and immediately planted his key  in the hole and turned it,the door wasn't locked since didn't need to twist the key twice,someone had entered his room in his absence,maybe a maid,but as he tried to open the door completely it blocked and the slight tingling of chains caused him to raise his gaze,someone had locked it from within,someone was in his room and that was not the only thing in his plate,his movements had been noticed by some of the undead who were rushing down,they paused and turned towards him,Aiden tried to force the door open but also wanted to avoid breaking it "Tch" He sighed,whoever was in there didn't want to open and he couldn't speak because his voice may have just attracted more of these things,so he brought out his second pistol,he fired two shots to the left,killing two of the undead and one on the right that blew the lock chain right off, the door opened and he entered immediately and jammed it shut subsequently using his key to lock the door.

Aiden sighed and turned towards the intruders with an emotionless expression and found a man and two ladies before him,the man was in possession of one of his shot guns and was pointing it at him but it was obvious he couldn't handle it,his legs looked weak,his hands were shaking and his eyes showed only fear,with no determination.

"Please don't hurt us" One of the women said, but this seemed rather baffling since they were the ones pointing a gun at him,he also saw that each of the girls had a pistol dangling from their hands,Aiden looked once again at the shotgun wielder before being interrupted by loud bangs and snarls on the door....there was no time to waste,he ignored all of them and headed right for his three weapon bags,checked the content and brought out ropes,meanwhile,the banging continued which made one of the women to start crying out "Leave us alone,leave us alone,LEAVE US ALONE!" The male was still pointing his shotgun at Aiden "I will shoot,stop moving"

"Sure,go ahead and break your arm,as for the two of you....kindly keep quiet,you are stimulating them" he said while heading to his bed side table to get something,but all he found was a piece of paper that wasn't meant to be there,he violently opened the other drawers and asked with a glint of annoyance

"Did anyone touch the pills I left here?"

"What pills?" They asked in unison 

"Shit"

There was no time to waste,he pocketed the piece of paper and he rushed to the balcony,while shouldering two of the gun filled bags and started  tying the rope to the railing  before throwing it down "Hurry here if you want to live" he said,the door to the room was already caving in.

Aiden then grabbed the rope and let himself fall slowly as he looked to the left he noticed something that he had hoped to avoid......the incoming mass of undead ,led in that direction by the chopper "Hurry the rope is sturdy enough for two people" the man with the shotgun said while picking the third bag, (At least he has some common sense) Aiden thought,as he passed the bag to the first girl that came down,the one who asked him not to hurt them,he looked to the left once more and noticed that the mass was just a minute or two away he then noticed that so many people had gathered on their balconies to watch,among which he recognised Jonas, their eyes temporarily met before Aiden once again increased the pace of his descent.

However the second his feet touched the ground he heard the voice of the other girl screaming "They have broken in,Vincent run!" this was followed by a shotgun shot and a scream of pain,as expected the man couldn't handle the rebound and the screams did not cease as Aiden guessed that he was being eaten.

The black van pulled up at the right time as Kara commented "You are late" to which Aiden didn't respond he opened the back door and threw in the weapon's bag,he then handed Marco who was barely conscious one of his guns.....Aiden himself didn't know why he did it,but Marco simply replied by nodding.

"Let's go what are we waiting for?" The kid asked

"I brought company" he said as the first woman jumped in.

However,what followed was shocking, shadows covered the pavement as the undead threw themselves from Aiden's balcony.

Aiden could already see the first undeads belonging to the mass he had seen from the balcony, the was no time.

"Julienne hurry,freaking hurry" The other woman yelled from the van,luckily Julienne was athletic enough to dribble past the undead and into the van,but now thumps from the hotel's entrance right next to Kara's driver's seat made every one to turn towards that direction,the undead group that Aiden had redirected to the first floor was trying to break through and the already tampered-with door wasn't going to hold for much longer.

Aiden walked to the driver's sit,opened the door and scooped Kara to the passenger's sit ,the banging from the hotel door persisted as it started breaking.

Everyone seemed to be relieved until the van refused to start,a cold chill passed through their spines,but Aiden remained calm and kept trying,the van shook a little as someone got down and started shooting the undead down .

"Papa what are you doing,get back in" Kara yelled

"Sorry pumpkin,papa has done his best, remember that I love you" he then coughed, as the undead started moving towards him

"Aiden remember your promise" He yelled

"Ya obeshchayu tebe (I promise you)" Aiden replied in Russian as the van finally started.

"I told you that you reeked of military" Marco said while laughing out loud.

" Aiden wait don't leave papa behind,please,I am begging you" Aiden said nothing and simply sped off,as Kara  looked out of the window with tears covering her sight she caught the last glimpse of her father before being attacked by the mass of undead that came from both the hotel,the balcony and the east,he was smiling.

"PAPAAAAAA!!"

Her scream ceased when she heard a gunshot.
