Toby ran as fast as his lungs and legs would let him, as the side of a building blew apart, brick and mortar nearly missing him. This zombie was a bit bigger than the other ones, and didn't seem to feel pain. Toby had blown his left shoulder to high hell with his shotgun and it didn't do anything. It also did not seem to be afraid of bashing through walls, because no wall put between Toby and it did anything. Toby decided to call this thing a Brute, seemed fitting enough.<br/><br/>Toby had been separated from Ashley by one of these things, it had forced them to split up due to a large pack of zombies in the nearby vicinity. These things were extremely loud and attracted lots of attention. He had to lose it now. Toby ran into an apartment building, blowing off the lock of the door to get in. Ascending the stairway, he could hear the Brute bashing its way through and moving noisily up the stairs. Toby took out his large pistol and shot a round in its chest, did not even slow it down.<br/><br/>"Oh come on, what happened to those bullets blowing off limbs!" Toby cursed as he holstered the gun and kept running. He eventually hit the top of the stairs and kicked the door to the roof down, continuing his escape. There was a building nearby that he could jump to, though missing that jump would ensure his death. Turning around and hearing the Brute ascend the stairs Toby thought he would be better off just jumping. He ran as fast as he could towards the edge of the building and jumped, throwing his shotgun onto the building and grabbing the edge. He grunted and yelled as he exerted himself and pulled himself onto the building, grabbing his shotgun and looking back at the apartment roof above him now. Loud bangs and groans were heard as the Brute bashed apart the rooftop doorway. Toby began to run and found a fire escape stairway to escape with, while the emergency was not a fire, Toby was sure it was good enough to warrant the use of the stairs. He looked back and saw the Brute leap onto his building with much more ease than he did, hitting the concrete hard and roaring at him.<br/><br/>"Well fuck!" Toby cursed as he fired another round at its face. The shotgun shell impacted its head and made it snap back, though the beast once more reared its ugly head towards Toby. "Just die!" he yelled. He ran down the stairs, his steps clattering loudly on the steel of the stairwell. He had almost reached the bottom when he heard a loud creaking noise from above him. The Brute had tried descending and its bulk caused it to be on the verge of collapsing. Toby doubled his efforts to reach the bottom as he began descending at a rapid pace. He immediately jumped off over the railing when he had reached a safe falling distance, the stairwell soon followed him on his pursuit towards the ground. He could hear the Brute yell and roar as the entire stairwell began to collapse, hitting the ground with a hard thud.<br/><br/>Toby pumped his shotgun and pointed it at the wreckage, he could hear the Brute making noise. He slowly walked towards it and he saw that it had broken one of its legs, the bone jutting out of its knee. It struggled to get up and move around, but to no avail as it simply stumbled. Toby let out a loud laugh as he kicked it in the face.<br/><br/>"Not so tough now huh!?" he said to it. He then took his shotgun and began pumping round after round into its head until it was a bloody pulp and the body stopped moving. Toby ejected the last shell and began loading in his last few shells into the shotgun. After loading about four shells he suddenly looked up as he heard gunfire. Gunfire meant there were survivors, Toby immediately stopped what he was doing and ran out into a nearby intersection, slamming his shotgun into the face of an infected and stomping on its face. He looked out down the street and saw zombies flocking to a single location, then get crushed by an entire section of building falling on top of them. "Holy shit..." Toby muttered to himself as he ran over to see what was going on.<br/><br/>There were not that many zombies in this area any more, seems like whoever was there had taken care of alot of them. Toby climbed up the rubble, doing his best not to fall back down. Upon reaching the top he looked down and saw people. Ashley was not among them, this shattered his hopes just a little. Though who he did recognize was Fallon and his soldiers, he clenched his fist and began to descend the rubble. He finished loading his shotgun with the remaining bullets and began speaking as he headed towards the group.<br/><br/>"Some noise you guys are making," Toby said sarcastically as he pointed back at the rubble, "and some mess too."
