Auriok stifled a yawn and wiped his eyes as he stood at a empty street. He was tired beyond a reasonable doubt having worked for the longest he had ever felt at the hospital. It had been a rough night for them all up there. They had all heard the rumors about a zombie plague but as doctors they dismissed the idea, after all it wasn't medically possible for zombies to be real. Not yet at least but tonight was definantly a bad night to be out and about it seemed. Ambulances were coming in all over the place and bringing in people who were "bitten" by a sickly looking fellow who tried to eat them and then ran off when the person got ride of them, killed them or help arrived. The hospital was swarmed with patients as they tried to figure out what was wrong with them for they all displayed different stages of whatever was ailing them but not once did any of the doctors think it was a zombie virus but a new virus made by terrorists to attack the US again.<br/><br/>For Auriok though, the possibility of zombies was never far from his mind as he watched the patients degrade into madmen and try to bite the doctors administering them. It was chaotic in the hospital that when he finally left after seeing to god knows how many people, his nerves were on their ends. The blood, moans and bloodcurdling screams mixed with shouted orders from doctors, nurses and others were stuck in his head and he needed to get away to clear his head and get a few winks of sleep, but before he left he had sneaked up on him a bone saw, just in case he met one of these people out on the streets. Unknown to him though the dead did indeed walk the streets but he was fortunate enough not to run into any of them yet until he stood at the street corner he was at now.<br/><br/>Standing there on the street corner before he went, he could hear the sounds of the city around him but they were different. More screams, more sirens, it worried him about what was happening but it the moment he could care less as he walked home when he saw a figure stumble in front of him out of the shadows. At first he thought it was either a drunk or a homeless person but then the person stumbled under one of the street lights that he could see that it looked like one of the victims at the hospital. "Sir, are you ok?" he asked, only to be answered by a moan as the man moved slowly closer to him and he himself moved towards the man. "Sir just sit down. I'm a doctor, I might be able to help." he said, reaching an arm out to touch him when the man threw his face up and gnashed his teeth together while lunging and knocking Auriok to the ground.<br/><br/>To say that he was scared was an understatement and without managing to get himself bitten Auriok forced the zombie off and got up to remove the bone saw that he had secreted under his jacket and without even thinking he brought it crashing down on the zombies skull, embedding it there as it died. Releasing the handle, Auriok shivered not from cold or that he had killed someone who was once alive, but from the fact that it looked like the zombie virus was very real. He had thought it an impossibility but there was unliving proof right there in front of him but he shook his head. He didn't want to think about it right now so he retrieved his bone saw, after several attempts to pull it out of the skull, and went down the alleyway the zombie had came while hoping no more were in there.<br/><br/>As he was coming out he saw a lead pipe on the ground discarded and decided to take it with him since it had a slightly longer reach than the bone saw and the continued on his was carefully. He could hear the moans of the undead as he walked about and saw them too, but he was careful not to be seen, but when he did he would quickly dispatch them before they somehow brought more and then moved on before he he came out of another alley and in front of him was The Joker Coffee shop. Seeing the place made him sigh in relief as it meant that he was half way home now, if he could make it that far at that, but he noticed that several cars were parked in front of the place. He always thought the place was closed this late at night, and after looking down both ways of the street and it didn't seem like there were any zombies to be seen yet, he crossed the street to bang on the door heavily with the lead pipe while opening slowly with his other hand. "Hello," he said as he slipped inside and saw several people already there and armed, "none of you have been bitten right? or have any other injuries?"
