and nodded.
    “OK, you know the way; don’t stop for anyone along the way. When you get there ask for Elle, she will look after you both,” he told her.
    Before he could walk away, Rosita grabbed his arm. He looked at her as she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, “Thank you,” she whispered.
    Jack smiled, as he began to walk away Eddie waved out of the window.
    As they drove away, Alice looked at Jack, “So we should go,” she told him.
    “Listen, this is going to get bloody. I’m not interested in taking prisoners, I’m going there to kill the bastards,” he told her straight.
    Alice placed her hand on his shoulder, “You kill them, and I will save the innocent,” she smiled.
    “We better move, I want to go in when it gets dark,” he replied.
    They both began to walk away towards the coming battle.
     

CHAPTER NINE
    Evil to The Core
    The sun was beginning to set, as Alina and Kane walked onto the open roof of the car park. The screaming of a woman echoed through the fading sun, Alina looked at one of her followers as he walked towards them while buttoning up his jeans. On the ground behind him lay a young woman, half-naked and beaten.
    The groaning of the chained Zombies surrounded them, “Now you have upset our guests,” Alina joked as she walked towards the young woman.
    Kane laughed aloud as the man walked passed him; he patted him on the back. The man left the roof, leaving the young woman alone with Alina and Kane.
    Grabbing the young woman’s blood soaked hair; she dragged her to her feet. “I hope you were nice to my friend,” Alina teased the woman.
    Alina looked into the deep blue eyes of the woman, holding her tight Alina grew annoyed. “Answer me,” she screamed.
    The woman spit in Alina’s face, “Fuck yourself, you ugly bitch,” she built up the courage to say.
    Alina gave a smile and then within a second head butted the woman she hit the ground hard. Wiping the spit from her face, she glanced at Kane, who simply stood watching with excitement in his eyes. Alina pulled a small knife from her belt, “Ugly bitch, you think I’m ugly. Hmm, wait until I am finished with you,” Alina told her with anger in her voice.
    The woman stayed on the ground, Alina climbed on top of her, pinning her down with her weight resting on her chest. She ran the knife softly along her own cheek as she smiled in an evil sort of way and suddenly Alina began to sing. “There may be trouble ahead,” she sang.
    She moved her face closer to her, with the knife in hand she slashed across the woman’s face, a deep cut opened up and gushed with blood. The woman screamed as Alina continued slashing her face, “whose fucking ugly now,” Alina screamed as blood sprayed on her face.
    Alina spat in her face, “Now what about that pretty blonde hair,” she laughed.
    Taking the knife, she ran the blade across her scalp, she pushed the knife deeper scraping against the bone. Pushing the skin back like an Indian scalping an enemy, Alina screamed in enjoyment as Kane approached.
    “You moaned at me for playing with the toys,” he stated to Alina.
    Looking up and smiling like a child in a candy store, the blood soaked her face. Alina stood up and walked to Kane, not saying a word she grabbed him and pulled him close for a powerful kiss.
    “Surely I’m entitled to some fun too,” she told him.
    As the sunset and the night sky appeared, the woman crawled along the ground, leaving a blood trail behind her. Her hair hung by loosed skin from her head, her face was covered in deep cuts, tears rolled down her face, stinging her as they ran into open wounds. She looked up to see the chained zombies groaning and reaching out. She pushed herself up to her feet, glancing back to see Kane and Alina kissing.  She looked back at the zombie and uttered, “I am free,” as she walked into their path. The dead immediately bit into her shoulder, as she screamed in pain, Alina looked to watch as the dead tore her apart.
