You grab the security guard’s weapon and swiftly make your way to the Science Hall, only to find it barricaded. The BBMB majors peer from behind their makeshift barricade. They eye you with suspicion.
I’m not infected! You yell, hoping they can hear you. I escaped from Reid!
One of the masked BBMB majors perks up. An intercom crackles.
I thought Reid had fallen.
A pit grows in your stomach. Reid? Fallen? But … my laptop is in there, you think, how am I going to finish my paper now?
You nod, gravely.
I made it out, you say.
HAVE YOU BEEN BIT? One asks over the intercom.
No! You respond.
They confer amongst themselves. You wait, anxiously. Finally the intercom crackles back on.
Come inside. One says. You notice they’re pointing a particle beam at your head.
