Three Towers Apartment Complex, Stairwell to Second Floor Hallway
Things just got from bad to worse. Apparently, she began to reconsider her prior approval for more weapons on the healthy side - because obviously it attracts even more deathly freaks to the party. With what seems to be a 'horde', perhaps an overstatement - but it seemed fitting, of zombies as if frenzied from days of hunger now blindly charging towards Sue's general direction, it was perhaps time that Sue made use of her legs.
Heck, it -is- time to leg it.
She turned away from the two who were ecstatically holding the line and began making her way upwards. Now that the crowd has began to lessen, she swiftly cramped herself into the tail of the frenzied tenants. Screams were even more rampant at this point, with murmurs of what seemed to be Jay mauling the tenants were audible even from the ground floor.
Jay, the large and lovable Labrador - the canine companion of whom Sue intimately refers to as 'Auntie Jodey'. Auntie, being a term from where she grew up with in her time in Southeast Asia, is commonly used to refer to older female acquaintances, regardless of blood relations as a sign of respect.
Now, Sue remembered how Auntie Jodie helped her around when she was still blindly trying to accustom herself to the American way of life. Not to mention that Jay was ever so approachable and fun to play with. She cherished their time together. But now that screams of tenants about the rampaging Labrador nearly brought her disbelief. She had to see it for herself.
Sue then pushed and shoved, just the rest of the other tenants as she raced upwards. However her 'objectives' were slightly different - in that she wanted to know what had happened to good ol' Jay.
And as she arrived to the scene panting from the effort of climbing, a beastly creature that barely resembled the once lovable canine was seen leaping in midair - right towards a firewoman who seemed a little too distracted to notice. It was when what seems to be a flash of black that dashed in between and unleashed a downward strike with all his might - the beastly creature's attempt to strike was foiled. The priest had taken action just in the nick of time.
A visceral strike indeed, as the thump of the beast when he landed on the ground was audible almost equal to the gunfire downstairs. To which the firewoman soon regained her senses and countered another quick attempt by Jay. This time however, it ended gruesomely with the firewoman's victory.
Sue imagined that she could handle the gore, but with what was left of Jay thanks to the relentless stomps of the firewoman sent shivers down her spine. In fact, she almost puked with the putrid smell now wafting from the grisly canine corpse. Looking away trying to keep her mind distracted, she noted that one of the tenants suggested to start blockading the stairwell.
Sue needed some air with what she had just witnessed. Apparently the proximity of things really mattered. The mauling of the poor woman in the lobby did not affect her much due to the relative distance and that the woman still resembled a human - but with what she has witnessed up close accompanied by the gory remains of Jay...The air became stuffy - to which she thought it would be a better idea to stay away from the crowd at this point.
"I-I could help..." Sue spoke up with her right arm raised while the other cupping her mouth, as she volunteered to aid in the effort. In fact, she just wanted to get a breather.
