Semua Bab Vampire Covenant Room : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Steve took off to the warden’s office while Cara left to free Bohdan. The tourists on the trams were now roaming the tunnels unable to escape, scared for their lives and the vampires were now regaining consciousness. The prison was on lockdown as Steve controlled all systems from various control panels throughout the pods, and the authorities were now on their way to evaluate the situation. The shit had hit the fan.Steve found his way to the warden’s office and reached for the doorknob, it was locked. He fished out his master key from his massive key ring and popped open the door. He found Kathy sitting behind her desk holding a pen like a knife. Steve smiled and entered the room. “What are you going to do with that?” Steve asked.“What’s going on?” Kathy asked. She was a bit dizzy from the gas that had found its way into her office. She got a small amount and was becoming more lucid every second.“I gassed the place,” Steve replied. “Except for your office. Some of the gas must have

Three hours into the prison takeover, the nine humans left alive pondered their fate locked up in guard pod three with no way to escape. Steve, Cara and Kathy all sat at the control panel filling the only seats with the rest resting on the floor with their backs to the walls. From their vantage point they couldn’t see the bodies and blood on the commons floor, it was a blessing considering the mess.“How long till it starts to smell?” Paula Borodin asked. She was a fifty something woman who dragged her husband to the zoo as a getaway trip for the both of them.“Depends on the temperature,” Ted, her husband replied. “But I’d say two days.” “Oh my God, that’s going to wreak!” Paula snapped back.“This was your idea, not mine,” Ted replied. He was pissed. He didn’t want to go on the trip in the first place.“Yeah, well at least I tried to do something, that’s more than you would have.”“No, I wanted to go to Kansas City, but no, you wanted to see the vampires. Fuck these vampires, I didn

Rancid paced around pod one trying to think of what he could do to save himself, if he could save anyone else, that was extra, and he didn’t care. “What kind of tools do we have access to?” he asked aloud.“You know as well as we do, nothing,” Charles replied. He was not a skinhead, but was as frustrated a vampire as any of the rest. “The guns are locked up in the armory, the kitchen is locked, and so is maintenance.”“We need to break into one, get some tools we can use, which would be the easiest?”“Kitchen I suppose, maintenance is locked down as much as the armory I’d think, they keep a lot of shit down there. But I don’t see how you plan to open a sealed door, the kitchen has a deadbolt I’m sure, if not more.”Rancid was pissed, he knew that all the cells were the same, with the beds, tables and toilets molded as part of the cell with no moving parts. They were designed that way so they couldn’t be used as weapons. But where there is a will, there is a way. “There must be a key s

“What are our options?” Kathy asked. She looked to Steve for the answers. “There must be a way to get out of this pod.”“Yes there is,” Steve replied. “There is an escape hatch built into every pod in case of a prison riot or takeover, just like this.”“Great, why didn’t you mention this before?”“Because it won’t work unless you have someone in maintenance to open the door at the end of the tunnel. Every pod has a hex key in the emergency box that will let you open the pod escape door, but once you traverse the tunnel, which is only two by three feet, you have to exit by another hatch door that is opened by someone in maintenance. Last I checked, Alex was dead and I’m here. And unless the National Guard goes in and opens the hatch door, we’re fucked.”“There’s no way to open it from inside the tunnel?” Kent asked.“You won’t fit in the tunnel anyway fat boy,” Steve replied. “What are you? Three fifty?”Steve expected to get beat for his comments, but Kent was more of a gentle giant w

“If they can turn off the air, they can find a way to get to us. We need to buy time, until the National Guard can save us. Sacrificing a few women can buy us that time,” Bohdan said.“What kind of misogynistic prick are you?” Cindy asked. “I’m not some animal you can send to the slaughter to save your own hide.”“You’re a woman, basically worthless,” Bohdan said. “Fuck you asshole!” Cindy yelled.Paula stood up and pointed a finger at Bohdan. “Keep your mouth shut!” Paula said. “I don’t know what I ever saw in you or why I ever came here in the first place.”Kathy chimed in, “You do realize why Bohdan is an inmate here don’t you? He used to kill women for sport. He’s known as Bohdan, the Vampire Ripper. Don’t expect that zebra to change his stripes.”Bohdan shook his head in disgust. “There are nine of us in this metal trap, if we give up two females, in let’s say twenty four hours, that could buy us enough time to be rescued. I think that’s a valid trade.”“What if he’d take you ins
