"Get out of the way!" An annoyed voice snapped.
It's owner was an older woman who'd just finished shoving a frightened patient out of her path. She wasn't the tallest or the leanest thanks to a combination of age and diet, and was dressed in the hospital's standard Nurse uniform with the sole exception of the color along with a blue cardigan.
Margaret Washington was the woman's name, but most people simply knew her as Marge. The hard-ass head nurse with a reputation for being a bit of a taskmaster. She'd push workers to the absolute limit but despite any complaints against her, she got results and it showed.
"Was that really necessary?" A younger feminine voice asked.
Following closely behind the hardened woman was another nurse. She was slightly taller than the average woman, standing at around 5'7" and maintained a slender yet athletic build. She was fresh out of med school and had yet to become jaded from years of trials that came with the job.
"Do you want to live or do you want to die?" Marge asked bluntly.
The younger woman ran her tan fingers through her dark hair. "You know I want to live."
"Then shut up and follow me." Marge continued.
Irina Price was the younger woman's name and she did as she was told. "Why did you grab me anyway? I would've though you'd try to escape on your own."
"I need a young pair of legs and a strong back." Marge replied without turning back. "Dr. Horn probably made the mistake of trying to escape through the parking lot which is why we haven't found him yet."
The back entrance provided no protection.
"Then where are we going?" Irina asked desperate for an answer.
Seeing no harm in answering, Marge paused and pulled a small keycard from her cardigan. "You see this right here?"
Irina nodded.
"This is our ticket to safety. This hospital was built during the arms race back in the day and just in case the bombs did fall, a secret fallout bunker was constructed down in the basement to protect against nuclear fallout. Only certain senior staff know that it exists and if we can make there then we'll be home free... understand?"
Irina nodded. This was a lot to suddenly take in. There was a secret fallout bunker under the hospital. "Have you ever seen it?"
"Once." Marge answered honestly. "Just never the inside since it was locked off."
"Where'd you get the keycard?"
"I swiped it from Harold." The older woman shrugged before continuing on her path.
"Wait up!" Irina panicked.
The pair continued to walk and dodge frantic patients and staff before a small tremor forced them to stop. Marge was the first to feel something was truly off as her instincts kept screaming. She turned to Irina to shout something but before she could, the wall beside her burst open and large face peered through.
"Found you!" Debbie smiled.
Both Marge and Irina screamed.
The younger woman fell back on her as an enlarged hand reached into the hole. She thought Debbie was making a grab at her but wrapped her fingers around Marge instead.
"Hey! Let me go!" She struggled.
The action caused the kaeycard to slip out of her pocket and onto the floor.
"Irina!" She called out. "Help me!"
Irina looked between her and the keycard on the ground. She had to make a choice. Did she try to save her boss and risk her own life, or did she she grab the keycard and try to save herself?
