Bang! Bang!

blam! Bang!

"Jesus Christ please forgive me for my sins."

"Chief Sparkle! When need to get out of here now!"

The once orderly and professional decor and stature of the ECPD was now turned into a living hell. The undead swarmed the place in a matter of seconds, devouring everyone in sight.

Chief of police, Sean Sparkle, some would call him Shinning Armor, was eating the most amazing left over dinner that his loving wife made for him since he was working late today but that was just an hour ago.

Since disaster struck, lieutenant Sparkle, and the remaining living officers of the police department remained trapped inside the massive building. Hordes of walking corpses flooded the halls and blocked the doorways. Officers tried to keep them at bay but one after another met a horrible demise for their bullet proof vests were not enough to protect them from brutal consumption.

bang! BLAM!

Shinning Armor unloaded his last magazine on a man dressed in a hotdog costume. He cursed to himself and threw the now useless gun to the side. His black uniform was torn, and covered in blood stains. He removed his vest after he soon realized how useless it really was.

"Chief! We have...zzzzzzhzzttt...they're everywhere!...zzzzzzhhhttt bodies...."

Shinning's radio blared almost every ten seconds. Sergeants, officers, dispatchers, just about everyone with a badge and a gun was calling him, completely lost on what to do. What could they do? The dead are walking!

"Oh my god.....oh my god.....oh my god...." Cadet Hooves sat curled up into a ball behind the knocked over desk by Lieutenant Sparkle. She shook in terror, her golden eyes wide and her blonde hair frizzy. She didn't even care that her bubble pattern panties were showing under her pencil skirt as she rocked herself back and forth.

"Cadet!" Shinning moved closer to the shivering woman. "Miss Hooves, I need your gun, I'm out of bullets." Shinning was trying really hard to keep his voice level as he peered above the edge of the desk to see his fellow officers fighting the overpowering numbers of the undead.

Cadet Hooves looked up at Shinning. His eyes were so blue, so calming.

"I-I don't have my gun. it's in m-my office." She stuttered, trying to calm herself in the presence of her superior.

Shinning Armor just smacked his forehead and let out a groan. Even if Cadet Hooves's job was only at a desk, she still needed to carry a gun. But she can be a bit of an air head at times, earning her viscous nickname "Derpy".

"Cadet. Listen to me ." Shinning gently grabbed her shoulders and held his face close to hers. Her pearly cheeks grew red. She always admired shinning. Never had she expected to get this close to his finely chiseled face. She looked into his eyes, and noticed how smooth and shiny his shoulder length blue hair was.

"You need to calm down. I need as many officers alerted of what is going on and I need you to..."

beep bop beep beep boop bop...

Who the fudge cake could be calling Shinning at this critical moment!?

He let go of the now near faint Derpy, and looked at the caller ID on his smartphone. It read "Honey Bunches."
Ignore or answer? Answer.

"Hi, pumpkin." Shinning said into the phone with the most sincere voice he could muster.

"Sean, where are you?" Cadence, his wife, said as she paced about the living room of there lovely suburban home, with a phone to her ear. "I know your working late, but have you seen the news? Are you still at the station? It's dark out. Please come home! I'm so worried!" Cadence looked at the tv to only see pandemonium sweeping the once peaceful city.

"I...uh.." Shinning peered over the desk and saw an officer get tackled by a zombie, and several others heading there way. "Don't worry honey, I'm okay, just stay in doors alright?" Shinning really didn't want to worry her.

"Dear...what is going on over there in the city?" Regardless of Shinning's reassuring words, Cadence trembled at the thought of her husband getting hurt at a time like this.

"Cadence, don't worry. Listen, until I get there, just pack up some luggage okay? We need to leave the city."

"Where will we go?"

"Anywhere but here."

Cadence nodded her head. "I understand. Please be safe. I love you."

"I love you too, oh, and the rice you cooked was the best. Thank you, hon." Shinning hung up the phone, and grimaced at the thought of that being the last time he would ever speak to her.

"Lieutenant Sparkle! Our dispatch center is over flowing with the dead! We've lost contact with the other agencies!" Sergeant Hawk stood over next to Shinning. His uniform was ripped, and his shoulder was exposed and bloody. He didn't look so good. Not just from the fear and anxiety of what was going on, but his skin started to look a ghastly pale, and his eye bloodshot.

"We need to get out of here!"

Shinning was an honorable man. Never would he leave a fellow officer behind. But at a time like this, more than half of his officers were already dead or dying. It pained him to see his loyal subordinates meet such a cruel fate.

"Are there any clear exits?" Shinning asks the sergeant, who looked very faint.

"The fire escape..." He breathed, short of breath. "It's not far from here, but we'll need to fight.."

"We'll hit the armory first."

Shinning looked down at the shivering cadet. She looked as if to be on the verge of a heart attack.

"Cadet Hooves." Shinning said. She didn't answer.

"Cadet Hooves." He said again a little louder. She was still to panic struck to respond.

Shinning armor crouched down to her.

"Diane." He said softly. Cadet Hooves blinked and looked up at him. Lieutenant Sparkle never addressed her by her first name. It gave her a strange feeling inside her very being. A feeling that helped her relax.

"Diane." He said it again, it sounded so good when her name rolled off his tongue. "I'm not leaving anyone behind. We need to get out of here, and I'm taking you with me." He stood up and extended his hand to the Cadet and she took it shakily. Shinning gingerly lifted Diane off the ground. She was already wobbly at the knees from fear.

"The armory is down the hall." Sergeant Hawk wheezed.

The numbers of undead were slowly overcoming the last remaining officers. Brave men and women who risked their lives on a day to day basis to protect the city were not enough to overcome the horrid nightmare that has consumed them.

The three officers rushed to the armory. It was a small room down the hall to the left. Unfortunately, it was the spare locker for the real, and full armory was down stairs. Thankfully zombies can't use guns or they'd have their hands on enough weapons to supply a small militia! Lieutenant Sparkle had the key, and quickly unlocked the steel door. The officers rushed inside.

"Take what you can carry!" Sparkle ordered. They were on a crunching time limit. All three of them scurried about the room, stuffing things into duffel bags and grabbing boxes of low caliber bullets. The spare armory was so bare that only a total number of three hand guns and two fire arms could be acquired. They grabbed the camp kit hanging on the wall, and ran out the room not checking to see if they grabbed the right bullets.

But as they exited into the hall, Diane let out a scream.
