Floor Ten
Patrick had managed to find a service ramp down another floor, again, he was not beset by any adversity. Patrick's eyes were having a hard time adjusting as he moved through the halls of the former hospital. The light shone through the broken windows and handful of emergency rooms, creating a tapestry of light and shadow.
The doors to some rooms were still closed, though there was nothing that Patrick could discern as a reason to want to go inside.
Then, voices.
Patrick's heart raced for a moment, he believed he had finally found someone else who had survived. His pace quickened as he made his way down the hall to the source of the sounds.
Rounding the corner he came across a closed room, but through the window, he could see a group of people gathered around a stretcher, apparently tending to a wounded man.
The Irishman's heart jumped for joy at the sight of seeing living breathing humans as he pounded on the door for a moment.
"Oi! Lads! Open up! I'd like a few words!"
((Hurray, finally meeting up with one group. Assuming NativeForeigner and Dark Angel are still posting. >.>))

((Sorry, I hadn't realized that people were still posting o_0))
Jack flinched at the sound of pounding, "Who's there?" he asked loudly, approaching the door, "Would you quiet down! We don't need to attract any more of those things!"

"Sorry lad. Did'na think too hard on it. You boys are the first livin' breathin' things I've seen in ages an' I couldn't control meself. Ye wouldn't believe the mess I had ta fight through ta get h-- Well I guess ya would, heh!"
He offered a smile and shoved his shotgun back into its holster. Patrick's gaze shifted to the man on the stretcher.
"Oi, what happened ta this bloke? 'E looks pretty torn up. He's not infected is he?"

As the ZDF led the survivors upstairs, the amounts of zombies began to steadily decrease. It appeared that they had moved down and out of the hospital in search of more food. In a few minutes, they would reach floor 10. ((I'm using my thread to do a bit of advertising! I've entered the Avatar Arena, so if everyone wouldn't mind voting for me, that would be super awesome.))

"It's alright, just don't let it happen again." Jack said, holding his hand out to shake. He wasn't about to forget all of his manners just because of a dire situation. "I'm Jack, by the way, nice to meet ya."
Jack's head turned towards Sirius, his hand still extended to shake, "We're not exactly sure who this is, he and somebody else came to save us, he stayed behind while his friend moved on in a truck, but he was injured in an explosion. He saved our lives, now we're trying to save his. And no, he's not infected, just some major internal bleeding and cracked ribs."

The girl hadn't responded and Dru was tired of talking to herself, so when the group broke to the tenth floor she took off on her own. Not like there was much of anything up here, and she was a damn good shot with a handgun. Spotting a closed door she walked up to it and knocked out the age old tune from the movie 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit', the one where a toon absolutely had to finish it. If there was anything alive on the otherside, they'd figure it out, if it was dead, well, she'd shoot it.
Tap tap-tap tap tap
"Come on, gimme two bits," she mumbled silently.

"Well that was awful noble of 'em. Good ta see chivalry hasn't died out yet. Oh, well bless me tarnished soul if I haven't gone an' forgotten introductions. My name's Patrick Macfarland, formerly the most wanted criminal this side o' the eastern seaboard," he said with a great flourishing bow, revealing his shotgun and rifle crossed in an X on his back in their holsters.
He could see a visible scowl beginning to form on his newfound companions' faces.
"Oh, now don't be like that. I've renounced me old ways. No point in stealin' n' killin' the few o' us that're left, there's no real use fer money, and God knows there's not many wom--"
Through the angle of the window on the door, he spotted dark brown curls and a tan hand with soft skin knocking on the portal. In a sudden burst of speed that seemed to defy physics, he swung open the door and stood at his full stature as he stared down at the lovely lady who had just been knocking.
"Well 'ello there lass! What's a nice girl like you doin' in a nasty place like this?"

((sorry, I don't check this thread very often.))
Jake decide to take a few Zs after Jack and him gathered what they needed to fix Sirius. When the pounding started, Jake jumped up with his desert eagle pointing right at the door. Once Jack answered it, Jake sat back down, gun still in hand, and relaxed while the adrenalin faded. Before he could crash back to sleep, a new face appeared and Jake knew he wouldn't be getting anymore sleep for a while. Jake spoke as he got up and stretched: “So Patrick, we could use your skills. God know I'm not one to judge others but do note, I won't stand for stealing or killing others here. As you said yourself, There's too few of us to be doing so. That said welcome.” Jake walked over to Sirius and said, “Hey Jack, You know what I said about moving him? Well I think it's time.”

Dru raised a dark eyebrow, it would figure she'd only ever meet an attractive guy at the end of the world. And better still, he wasn't American! "Well to be honest I was in church until some jerk from a badly named organization came and dragged me here." She glanced around him -she wasn't tall enough to see over the irishman- to see some badly banged up personel. "And from the looks of things, it's Mr. Armyman's buddies in there with you." She stuck her hand gun in the back waistband of her pants before extending her hand. "Drusilla MacLeod, from Glenfinnan."

Jack sighed, he wasn't exactly thrilled about having a supposedly reformed criminal amongst the group. He didn't seem too bad, however, and he did have a point, there was no reason to kill and steal in such times. But only time would tell, for now, they needed all the help they could get.
A woman now joined them, hopefully she could also help.
Jack looked at Jake, "I suppose you're right, we can't stay here forever. He's stable, but I need to operate soon."

Jake turned around and replied to Jack: “Alright then you better get started, now's better then never, and don't ask for a more sterile environment. This is the best you got.” Jake turned his attention two the new arrivals and said, “Well Patrick, your with me on guard duty. You look like you can hold your own. Young lady you have two choices. Stand guard with us or help the good doctor with the operation. It's your choice.” Jake walked past the two in the doorway and stood next to it. Still feeling a little sleepy he raised his voice over to Jack and said, “Hey Jack, you wouldn't have some caffeine pills over there will ya?”

Jack nodded and turned to Jake, "Alright, I'll be as fast as I can, I'm gonna have to ask everyone to either keep guard outside the room or put on masks, we have to be as sterile as possible."
Saying such, he went ahead and put on a surgical mask and gloves. He quickly began to set up for the surgery, gathering the necessary tools and sterilizing them as best he could. He was careful about not letting anyone touch anything.
"I would appreciate someone staying, a nurse is always helpful." He looked to Jake, "I don't have any on me, but there's likely to be some with the other supplies."

Patrick laughed at the girl's response, then turned to address the sleeper from the corner who was now ordering everyone around.
"Aright, aright. Ya don't have ta tell me twice," he swung his shotgun out of its holster from his back and into his hands," Jes' gimme a hand with some barricades by the stairs, I came down from the roof an' its completely and oddly clear that there's nothin' up there."
Grabbing one of the metal chairs in the room with one arm and lifting it to his side, he tipped his hat in the young lady's direction and said in a low voice,
"I've got some leftover ale in me pack, sure it's warm, what with no refrigeration, but it sure as bloody hell beats nothin' at all, aye? Maybe we can split one sometime soon?"
He offered another wink her way then headed out into the hall, searching for more debris to add to the barricade.((The rest of the Church Team should be coming up the stairs by now right? Also, shameless advertisement Mazes & Monsters, my new advanced fantasy RP, join quick, only 2 slots remaining yay!))

Drusilla shook her head with a smile. A beer did sound nice. She walked over to the supposed doctor.
"I had to learn a bit of first aid and field medicine to be a teacher," Dru said to the 'doctor'. She reached over for a pair of gloves and a mask before putting them on. "What happened to this guy?"
