fought the infected in hand to hand combat, breaking their necks and throwing them to the ground.
     
     
    ‘They’re right outside.’ Jerome whimpered.
    ‘They are baby, but they don’t know we’re here.’ Sadie was crying but didn’t want Jerome to see.
    ‘You’re safe little man don’t worry,’ Flynn said.
    ‘Are we though?’ Carl said, and he stood up. ‘We don’t know if they’re going to come in here. We don’t know anything, we’re fucking vulnerable here. We need to leave London.’ Carl shouted.
    ‘Shut ya mouth right now!’ Flynn said.
    ‘No I won’t, come on Sadie we’re leaving.’
    ‘Are you fucking serious?’ Danni said.
    Carl brushed past Danni and he walked back towards their room.
    As Carl clutched the door handle, Enzo moved over to him in a blur and grabbed him by his shoulder, pinning him against the wall.
    ‘Don’t hurt him!’ Sadie shouted.
    Enzo dropped Carl back onto his feet and then punched him across the chin. Carl’s head thumped against the wall and he collapsed onto the floor.
    ‘I had to. He may have given away our position, I’ll go and check.’ Enzo said and he walked into the room.
    Enzo snuck into the room and walked over to the window. He watched the patrol as they fought the infected. There were only a few left.
    He saw the little girl hiding next to one of the abandoned cars. As he watched her, he looked around considering whether to go and save her.
    ‘I can’t. Not without being seen,’ he mumbled.
     
     
    One last infected remained. One of the elite dug his fingers into the ribs of the infected; then the elite jerked his arms wide open, still gripping the ribs of the infected.
    The patrol continued to move, stepping on the dead bodies beneath their feet.
    One of the elite men strolled up to the little girl and patted her head. He pulled out his handgun discretely.
    ‘The instructions were to stay inside,’ he said to her as he pointed the gun to her head.
     
    Enzo looked away and shut his eyes as he heard the gunshot. Even after the shot was heard, Enzo kept them shut. He fell to the ground. ‘NO… NO…’ He whispered over and over.
     
     
    As the group got closer to the ball of light in the tunnel, they halted and knelt down on the ground.
    ‘Ready.’ Lee whispered.
    ‘Ready.’ Molly whispered back.
    The light shone onto them; the two men holding the light stopped moving. As they did, Molly and Lee charged at them with their knives out.
    One of the elite men tossed Molly into the wall knocking her unconscious. The other swung for Lee as Lee dropped to the ground. He slid along the gravel; he sliced the ligament behind the kneecap and the elite’s Achilles tendon, making him stumble.
    ‘Get him.’ Lee shouted.
    The men behind Lee jumped on the elite and stabbed him.
    Lee turned to the other elite who had knocked Molly out and saw he’d also killed one of the men behind her. The elite gripped the other man by his neck and lifted him off the ground. With his feet dangling, the man was helpless. The elite smashed the man’s head against the wall, completely crushing it until it was nothing more than a bloody mess.
    Lee charged forwards and the elite simply tossed him to the ground. Lee stood back up to see a man in a dark suit charging at him. He grabbed Lee and launched him into the wall. Lee swung his knife at the elite and stabbed him through his hand. The elite man looked down at his hand and yanked out the knife, launching it at Lee. It missed his head by millimetres.
    As the elite wandered over to Lee, the other two men in his group jumped on Lee’s attacker and stabbed the elite. He attempted to shake the men off but he stumbled to the ground. The elite elbowed one in the stomach and then broke the other’s neck. The elite stood up and then walked over to Lee.
    ‘You’ve made a big mistake sir,’ the elite said.
    He stood above him and jerked Lee up onto his feet. As he did, he swung at Lee, hitting him on the side of his
