Just as I'm accepting the inevitable, there's an enormous bellow as a huge green [i]thing[/i] drops from the sky and roars loud enough to attract pretty much everything's attention. Damn, that ork can fight. I rescind my previous statement about plant people; this thing is badass. He hooks over the fire escape and I shoot him a smile of genuine gratitude, not something that I do a lot.

"Thanks, man. You came right on time."

I climb up the ladder faster than most people can run, swarming up the fire escape in the blink of an eye, all the while loading more bullets into my clips. I really need to get more of them, because all the bullets in the world are useless if I can't put them in my gun. When I reach the top, I meet the small group of zombies on the building with a smile on my lips and my fingers on my triggers.
