OOC: Thanks guys, earlier I wasn't able to read everything in depth. Since the zombies are now a sizeable number inside the IM facility, I'm gonna assume that it's becoming noticeable around there. If what I do in this post isn't ok just say so, I'm just dying to get some action though

IC: Alex had drained a couple beers, and was half asleep in his chair. He'd given up on Oblivion for now, he was getting too tired to play anyways. Full on sleep was coming on, he could feel it. He had the next couple of days off, it would be good to sleep in...
Alex had drifted off, and been out for a little while, when all of a sudden his phone started ringing. He jumped awake, then dug around in the seat for the phone, finally retrieving it. 'Who the hell is calling me at this time?' Alex thought to himself as he looked to see who it was. It was his buddy, Nikko, a fellow soldier. "Hey bro, what's up?" Alex answered as he heard Nikko yawning. "Eh, shit I dunno man but I just got a call from the Sarge. Said he needs all available men to the Medical Facility, says it's important, some kind of riot or something.. I dunno I was barely awake when he called, but I know that we gotta get our gear and get over there." Alex sighed, and drank the last of a day old soda. "Alright, head on over and you can ride with me. Like hell am I gonna walk my ass over there again." Alex said, to which Nikko replied, "Alright, see you in a few." Alex flipped his phone shut, and proceeded to get out of his chair.
He'd grabbed his back pack again, and had his M16 slung over his shoulder, when Nikko knocked on the door. "Come in bro!" Alex yelled, and Nikko stepped inside. Nikko was a short guy, only Five feet Six inches, with long, wavy black hair. He was dressed in a pair of Camo pants, a light brown Tee, with a black zip up hoodie over that. He too had his M16 and his back-pack. "So," Alex started as he reached into the fridge and grabbed two energy drinks, throwing one to Nikko, "We don't know what we're doing exactly?" Nikko had caught the beverage and opened it, taking a drink, "Nope, but Sarge said grab our gear, didn't say what kind of gear though. I'm bringing my piece just in case, who the hell knows what this could turn into." Alex took a drink too, and nodded, saying, "True, true. Well, let's vamanos my friend, no sense dickin' around. The bosses might bite our heads off if we show up too late." Nikko laughed and said, "Yeah, let's go."
Alex and Nikko walked down the stairs and got in Alex's car, a red '03 Jetta. Alex turned the ignition, and as the car came alive, backed out of his spot and zoomed out of the parking lot. They hit the street a few minutes later, and were on their way to the Medical Facility. Alex didn't really know much about it, but rumors said that they did governmeant testing of new drugs in there. Only scientists and high-ups went in there, Alex just figured it was a boring place full of nerds and pocket-protectors. When they were a couple blocks away, they saw several military boys, fully armed and in uniform, along the sides of the road. They'd blocked off the road a little ways away, and Alex stopped as a soldier approached his car.
"What's your business here? Road's closed, take the detour." The soldier said, pointing toward a detour sign. "Hey we're military too, got an unofficial call from our Sarge to come and assist." Alex said, pointing to the M16's in the back and showing his military ID. "Ahh, alright. Well park your vehicle and follow me." Alex did so, and a minute later, him and Nikko had their weapons and were following the other soldier toward the building's front entrance.
When they got to the entrance, Alex was surprised. There were about twenty or so soldiers standing around, most of them from Alex's platoon. Sergeant Hemenway was standing with a small group of them, talking about something, so Alex and Nikko walked up to him in hopes of getting a briefing. Hemenway spotted them when they were a few feet away and smiled, saying, "Sorry about the wake-up call boys. Got a call myself, saying a bunch of the alarms are going off inside, and that I needed to get some people down here to make sure it wasn't anything big." Alex just grinned and said, "Eh, no problem Sarge. I was just sleeping." Hemenway turned and looked at the building, as Alex looked at his watch. 'Eh, 5:47 am. Whatever, I'll go home when this bull shit is cleared up.' Alex thought to himself as Hemenway spoke up again. "I'd send you boys home now, if I could just be sure that everything was ok. But I can't get in, bleedin' doors are locked up. And no one from the facility is responding, so yeah, now I'm waiting for my top brass to get back ahold of me, so we can all just go home. Probably some stupid wankers throwing rocks at the windows, or an alarm malfunctioning.."
Alex had dug around in his pack while listening to the Sarge, and brought forth a pack of cigarettes. He pulled one out and brought it to his lips, lighting it and taking a satisfying drag. Sarge looked over his shoulder at him and said, "Damn things'll kill you, son." Alex just shrugged and said, "It's almost six in the morning, I'm freezin' my arse off out here, I need SOME comfort." Just as Alex said that, the entire platoon's attention snapped to the door. A scientist, a pretty, young woman, was at the glass front doors, banging and screaming from the looks of it. They couldn't hear her though, the doors cut off virtually all sound. Hemenway and a few soldiers, including Alex and Nikko, ran forward, as a guard and several other scientists got to the door, all of them looking to be in a state of panic. By now they were all at the door, Hemenway and his soldiers trying to pull the doors open, as the group inside tried to push out. "WHAT IS IT?!" Hemenway and a few others were yelling, though all they could hear was muffled yelling.
Just then, Alex saw something that made him think he was seeing things. He stepped back and rubbed his eyes, and looked again, but the images were still there. Scientists were slowly shambling forward, but their skin was pale, and their eyes hollow. Many of them had blood dripping from their mouths, and all of them had gruesome looking wounds on their necks or shoulders, even their arms. "What the fuck?" Alex said quietly to himself, as he watched one of the strange looking scientists grab another scientist, and promptly bite into his neck. "HOLY SHIT!" Hemenway yelled, along with the other soldiers shouting out their shock. Now, the group of zombies were in full contact with the group of survivors, clawing at them, biting them, blood from the wounds of the recently bitten spurting up in showers, leaving spray and drops on the glass. Alex instantly unslung his M16 and pointed it at the door, to which Hemenway shouted, "HOLD YOUR FIRE! We have NO idea WHAT is going on here!" Alex didn't shoot, and kept the safety on, but didn't take the aim away from the zombies. "Fall back, now!" Hemenway said, as they all slowly backed away from the entrance.
As they got back to the parking lot, one of the other soldiers asked, "Sarge! What the bloody hell are those things?!" Hemenway just stopped in the parking lot, as the rest of the soldiers gathered around. He quietly said, "I dunno son, I don't know.."
