With safety so close and death even closer, Gracie stood her ground and loosed a few arrows at the zombies blocking access to her car. The first one was taken down instantly. The second went down after one shot landed in a dumpster behind the store and another sunk uselessly into its chest, nowhere near the heart. No sooner had she ran ahead to retrieve her ammunition (not bothering with the one lost in a pile of month-old garbage) than the emergency exit behind her slowly pushed open, pouring out the aggro train of shambling bodies she was desperately trying to escape. Outrunning them was child's play, of course, and Gracie's pumping legs soon took her to the edge of the shopping center and a bit down the street where her car waited. Any hope that James and Daniel might have made it out was dashed when neither of them were seen by the vehicle, calling for her to hop in and speed them out of there.
