<span style="color: #FF0000">It was a few minutes later that it all started, something so small in the grand scheme of things but so big once you got down to it. He was browsing the bread aisle, off in his own little world when a scream pierced the almost silence of the store. His head snapped up as the bloodcurdling scream echoed around the store, the basket in his hand dropped instantly. By the time the second scream came he was already out of the aisle as it finally died down. Died down was a bit of an understatement, the scream was actually cut off, trailing into a loud moan, followed by a gurgle.<br/><br/>He reached the front of the store and the sight he witnessed was enough to turn anybodies stomach turn. The sickly woman before had apparently pounced upon the next person who had come into the store, attacking with bare hands and teeth. The poor victims face was chewed up, blood leaking from the wound to her neck as the sickly woman chewed at her face.<br/><br/>"The fuck?"<br/><br/>At the sound of his voice the rabid woman looked up, leveling her gaze on him and snarled and jumped up quickly, his grip tightened on his helmet as he stood his ground, "stay back, get on the floor!"<br/><br/>The woman only snarled again and rushed at him. He wasn't a fool, he knew damn well whatever was wrong with her wasn't going to give her any sense to make her listen to him. His grip firm, he waited until she was close, when she had closed the distance he put one foot back a bit to steady himself and swung the helmet. A loud crack echoed around them as the helmet connected with the side of her head, knocking her flat on her back. He grunted as he looked at the helmet, a blood smear shining across the surface.<br/><br/>He made to take a step towards the other woman when he heard the rabid woman snarl again, and he tightened up in surprise. No human being could have stayed conscious after a blow like that, no matter how tough they were. He took a full step back from her as she pulled herself up, her face dripping blood now, both from her mouth and the wound on the side of her head. He frowned as she stood up and rushed at him again, intent on whatever homicidal purpose had consumed her. He didn't hesitate as he swung again, connecting with the other side of her head and then bringing the helmet down and then brutally upwards under her chin. A definitive snapping noise filled the air when the helmet caught the underside of her chin, snapping her head back and from the sounds of it, snapping her neck.<br/><br/>Her body fell to the ground and she didn't move, her head flopping lazily from side to side for a moment before growing still. He frowned as he wiped the helmet off on her clothes, glancing up as the other employees that were nearby and had witnessed the whole thing grew closer to him. He ignored their wonderments and questions as he watched one of them move closer to the woman the rabid one had attacked.<br/><br/>He shook his head, "don't ask me, just call the police and tell them what happened already."</span>
