He had to get to a source of fire, fast. There was no way he could get those ghosts touch him, and survive. Damn it...! He looked around for a source of fire, there was no time for fucking flint by now.

The garage equipment included road flares, no question. He remembered Peg grabbing some when they went to Cornish. Charles- "It's a beautiful spring evening. The wine looks like blood and the world is ending."

Seth took a few deep breaths. Oh boy, death coming for you from several angles. What's a boy to do? He ran his ass off, going straight for the equipment stocks, shoving zombies out of the way like a football player, diving over the tarp-covered boxes, tossing them open or aside, looking for salvation. He threw boxes he didn't want at the encroaching monsters.
The flares.

Seth- "Yes, it's beautiful... Tell me more about it..." The dark ghosts were gibbering and shuddering, moving across the floor as if in seizures. He couldn't see Charles, then heard the voice, closer. Charles- "This blue light is still in the sky. It colors things." His head throbbed again, and wheeled around until he spotted the chatty spectre ten feet away and closing. He grabbed a flare, wasting no time to pull the cap off and ignite the end in burning pink sparks. He held it facing downward, like the vampire hunter with a stake. Charles- "What is your problem?" Seth took a bouncing leap forward and used both hands to run the ghost through with the flare, like he was planting a flag.

"Haunters" were indeed made of flammable ectoplasm, like all the rest. Seth's forward momentum carried him through the fireball and into a roll on the concrete. Instantly something eased in his brain, like a shot of morphine when you need it. He came up staggering, with his eyes low - scanning for the dark ghosts - and considered the lay of the land.
He needed to get upstairs. Both stairwells were surely full of zombies. He'd seen one of the possessed running around. If it turned anyone else, got up there... It could be making a wall out of the limbs of all his friends. Not very presidential to be fucking around in the basement. He heard the SUV's tires squealing on the level below.

He sighed audibly, feeling strange and maybe a little awful to destroy something that could talk, even if was just some babbling reflection of a person.
He took a step back to grab two more flares, and tucked them in his back pocket. He wielded the lit flare at the zombies, like they were Frankenstein's monster, and pushed his way through, keeping tabs on the dark ghosts.
How could he get upstairs? While the stairs he'd gone down seemed zombie free, he had a feeling they weren't actual stairs...
The front door. It was probably still open. He could get out the garage side exit, maybe close the door and look for a way to get up to an upper floor. He ran for the exit.

Seth got out into the back alley with minimal difficulty. The monsters seemed rather confused by his movements, and were slow to react.

Patti was a bit shocked to see an SUV driving around down here maniacally, the air thick with its exhaust. Her flare showed lumps of crushed zombie here and there - some twitching, some not. She hadn't heard it through the door, but then she remembered why as her ears hurt a bit and rang. Joe- "SEEETH!!!" Ivan and Richie leaned on the door to keep zombies from following them out, for the moment. Richie- "WATCH OUT, GUYS!" The SUV wheeled around screeching, and they were all lit in its headlights.

Patti waved her flare and yelled at the people in the car."HEY, GUYS!!! SLOW DOWN FOR A SECOND!!!"

The horrible thought occurred that if the car was being driven by a possessed person, she was pretty much dead meat.
But it veered and rolled to a stop. Monty rolled down the window and peered out. Monty- "Those stairs are full of zombies! You should get in a car. It's safer in here."

Patti had indeed thought of the possessed problem, but acted on instinct. She would have to take care not to do that in the future."SAFER FOR YOU, BUT WE NEED TO SECURE THIS BUILDING SO EVERYONE CAN BE SAFER!! HAVE YOU SEEN ANYONE ELSE COME DOWN HERE??!! DID ALL THESE ZOMBIES COME FROM THE STAIRWELL OR IS THERE AN OPEN DOOR DOWN HERE SOMEWHERE?!?!"

Monty- "Man, we're tryin'! We barred the back door and have been killing zombies in here for, like, fifteen minutes! They're coming from the front of the building through the stairwells. We didn't have the balls to get into that fucking shit. I'm sorry." She could see Daniel slumped in the passenger seat, looking very ill.

Monty- "What about stairs? Should we park over there and save your pals some effort?" Ivan and Richie wiggled a bit as zombies pushed, trying to get out of the stairwell.
