[OOC: Don't worry about it - I will assume that you had been in the hospital when you said that you arrived (24 hours after the infection began), and will give you a bit of a vague reason for being there, so you can tailor it to how you want to play easily]

~Hour 24:
Leroy had headed to the hospital when it became clear that the rioting in the city would eventually force his target to appear there. He had decided that fighting through waves of crazy maniacs to try and find his mark was no way to get ahead (he had even had some of them try to bite him, and it seemed only a round to the head would put them down permanently) [OOC: In your own intro, you seemed to know about zombies, so feel to PM me some changes here to make it as if your character knows what is going on, and I will edit this]

He had waited in then main reception for several hours, watching the stream of casualties gradually become a torrent, doctors, nurses and eventually national guard medics running everywhere, the un-injured but stunned mixing with the wounded and the dying.

He surreptitiously scanned every face that came and left, searching for the one he was looking for.

After several hours, some of the dying appeared to be coming back to vigorous life, infected with the same craziness as the people he had encountered earlier.

Deciding that discretion would be the better part of valour, Leroy attempted to find somewhere he could observe that would be more secure than the waiting area and jimmied open a service door, locking it behind him...

**lord of the ghosts**

"any more?"

'no'

"into the bus"

'yes, sir'

{OOC: 'my voice' "other's voices"

**shas'o vera**

current time: 55 hour

leroy hears a banging on the door and a muffled noise that sounds like talking, he walks over to the door with pistol in hand.

unlocks the door to find a survivor that has been bitten, quite a while ago, not wanting to give away his hiding place he pulled the survivor inside the service door and locks it behind him.

"who are you?" leroy whispers

'i am only known as levan' the man replies

"levan? interesting name, well, dont worry your safe in here, how long ago were you bit?"

'oh, not long less than an hour ago, and i doubt the bite will do anything anyway'

"whys that?"

'lets not talk now, i need rest, i havn't sleep since zero hour'

levan falls asleep and leaves leroy wondering, who is he? how did he find me? what makes him so sure that the bite wont do anything?

he says to himself "oh well, i might as well get some sleep too" leroy nods himself to sleep while the distant moans of the zombies can be heard.

Unknown period of time after John's capture (vague - bwahaha! - to tie in with whatever else people want to do in the time period)

John was awoken by a gentle shaking and he opened his eyes slowly, groaning as his stiff muscles began to complain. A young nurse was cleaning his wounds and applying dressings - the shaking was her gently probing the gun shot wound in his shoulder, assessing the damage.

The nurse quickly looked up from his shoulder and gave a nervous smile "It's OK Dr Wade, relax, I'm just here to look after you; don't struggle or you will burst some of your stitches.

"My name is Nurse McKaney [OOC: PLOT THICKENS! - I can't actually remember what was said about this woman, I will look it up when I get home, unless anyone wants to fill me in now

] and they have sent me to look after you."

John nodded weakly, his head still spinning slightly from the drugs they had given him, as well as the lingering pain and general shock he was suffering from.

"Do you work for these psychos then?" He asked her, his parched throat making his voice come out as a croak. "You can tell them to take their offer and shove it up their collective ass, I'm not going to help them no matter what they do to me."

The nurse paused in her ministrations and slowly shook her head as she continued to patch up up. "No, I don't work for them... well, at least, I didn't - I guess you don't know me, but I used to work in Denver Hospital too... they managed to catch a lot of the medical staff when we transfered to the supposed safe area. They killed the ones they didn't want, and threw the rest of us into trucks. I thought they were going to kill us too... they still might I guess."

She looked sad as she crossed to a tray covered in instruments and piles of bandages, selecting those that she required to complete her work. "I don't even know where we are, or who is holding us... the only thing I recognise is an Egyptian eye symbol painted on everything, though I couldn't tell you what it meant."

John frowned as she spoke, trying to get his shattered mind into some form of working order. "McKaney... McKaney..."

**shas'o vera**

current time: 64 hour

leroy and levan have got to know each other a lot since they first met, turns out levan used to work for the hospital as an orderly, untill he was dragged into some room, got knocked out and had something injected into him.

**shas'o vera**

Whatever hour it is when John and Dave gather everyone together in the hospital (I can't be bothered to look up the time at the moment)

Leroy and Levan were sitting quietly in the dim light given by the small windows mounted high in the walls when a voice suddenly came from the intercom: "Hello? Hello? Can you two hear me in there? Damn... I think I pressed the wrong button... Hello?"

Leroy looked at Levan questioningly, his eyebrow raised. "It is the hospital intercom system... someone is obviously trying to get in contact with us." Levan replied to Leroy's unanswered question.

He got up and walked over to the speaker unit, depressing the "reply" button. "Hello, who is this?"

"Ah, It is Dr Wade here... listen, I am sure you probably know already that there is some kind of infection spreading around. We are trying to gather all the uninfected together here in one of the secure wards. We are pretty sure that it can only be spread by contact with the infected, so you should be safe as long as we guide you away from them, using the cameras, like the one we found you using."

Leroy and Levan looked around for the camera. Levan waved at the lens as it tracked him.

Dr Wade laughed over the intercom and continued: "Ok, the ward is in the East wing, but there are a few groups of infected between you and us. We have already guided a few other people here, and have managed to actually lock several up, so you should be fairly safe."

"If you are both ready?"

Levan looked at Leroy and his desire to be safe with other people shone through. Lerouy sighed and nodded his head. Given what had happened, he thought that his mission might as well go on the back burner for a while, certainly until he could work out what exactly had happened, and how widespread the problem was...

"OK Dr." He said into the intercom, "Lets get this show on the road."

**shas'o vera**

hour 105

the doc calls into the intercom again "ok guys, one of the wards that was holding some of the infected, they broke to door down, and they are blocking the only way into a safe ward"

leroy suddenly alert "ok doc, how many are there?"

the doc sighs and speaks in a slightly worried voice "there's about 20-30 of them, but there's plenty of medical beds andother things that you could use to your advantage"

levan is slightly worried and says "hey, i got an idea, we either wait for them to come to us and gun them down as they approch, or we could slowly move towards them using the medical beds to our advantage"

leroy turns to levan "ok kid, i'll take the second option but first things first do you know how to handle a gun?"

levan replies "well, sort of, i fired a few rounds of a hunting rifle, does that count?"

leroy sighs and says "ok, here" leroy hands levan a hand gun.

levan says in a startled voice "don't you need this?" waving the gun around.

"nahhhh its fine" leroy pulls out another hand gun. "i always bring a spare"

leroy calls into the intercom "ok doc, we're ready, do you have a radio up there?"

"one sec" a few moments later "yeah we do, why do you ask?"

"i got a hand held radio with me, tune into frequency 66.6 you can guide me and levan through the hospital" leroy cocks his pistol "ok, levan you ready?"

levan copies leroys action "yep"

leroy speaks into the intercom "ok doc, tell me where to go"

**shas'o vera**

i cany help but think that im the only one that cares about this roleplay, oh well.

**SilverMK2**

[OOC: Hey, don't worry, people are still posting and reading. Just have other things to do as well

Besides, I think it would be a good thing for you to catch up with the main story timeline, so no harm done with you being the sole(ish) poster for a while

]

**lord of the ghosts**

I will post later, I don't feel like it now.

**shas'o vera**

[OOC: ok guys, but can't tell the doc where to lead leroy and levan unless some one gives me a brief map of the floor they are on, oh and im sorry if this sounds like im annoyed, im really not]

**SilverMK2**

[OOC: There is no real map. The only thing to be established is that the path lab is next to the ward, and it is in the east wing. Other than that, feel free to be guided wherever you want

]

**shas'o vera**

levan and leroy are making their way down a dark corridor, then the doc's voice echo's fromt the radio at leroys belt. "ok guys, you are nearing one of the wards that the infected were in, be on your guard"
leroy replies "got it doc"
they continue down the corridor, leroy infront, levan at the back. suddenly, one of the side doors bursts open and a female survivior runs out, being chased by an infected, without thinking levan shoots his pistol, barely missing leroy but hitting the infected square in the forehead.
levan catchs the girl in his arms and tries to comfort her "there there, its ok, your safe now, we'll protect you"

the girl stutters "o-ok"

leroy turns and asks the young girl, around 15 years of age with blond hair "miss, whats your name?"

she says nothing and stares wide eyed down the corridor.

leroy turns around, gun at the ready and see's a group of infected stumbling down the corridor "levan, you take care of her, i've got these guys" he says while drawing out a kukri with his other hand.

"ok" levan and the girl run through one of the side doors, following the signs that say east wing, in the background they can hear gunshots and shouting.

[OOC: what happened to leroy? will levan and the girl make it to the ward? who knows, find out on the next episode of ZERO HOUR]

**shas'o vera**

[OOC: so, what do you guys think of my cliffhanger?]

**SilverMK2**

[OOC: Sounds good to me

Direct follow on from John talking to nurse

"...McKaney... McKaney..." His frown was suddenly illuminated by the brilliant white lights that had lit him before. The nurse gave a frightened squeek before retiring from their glare.

"That is more than enough, nurse." Came the voice over the speaker system "Leave us now."

John heard a door open and close behind him as the nurse left the room.

"Now, you have had more than enough time to consider, so what will it be, doctor?"

John squinted his eyes against the glare, attempting to stare back at where he thought he had seen the camera which watched over the room. "If you will forgive the expression, friend; you will have to pry the information from my cold dead hands. There is no way I am helping you sick freaks."

A faint sigh came from the speakers. "I had such hopes doctor, although I was afraid you would attempt to deny us. Still, I suppose it is more fun for me this way, though I dare say that you will not particularly enjoy it... but then, that was your choice, not mine."

**shas'o vera**

[OOC: well, i might be offline for a while, so can you guys take control of my characters for a few days? just please dont name the girl that levan is helping, thats for another time.]

**shas'o vera**

[OOC: hmmm, im betting this thread lost interest]

**lord of the ghosts**

Sorry, I don't feel like role this moment.
