Murray stared up at the ceiling as Lachryma went back to dealing with the break-in. His bandaged neck still sore and throbbing. He felt cold and just wanted to wrap himself in a blanket and sleep in a warm bed. But he just lay motionless on the floor, the life slowly draining away from because of an infectious bite placed too well to cure. He tried to say something, but the strength just drained from his body as he embraced the cold darkness that enveloped him.
Murray laid motionless on the ground for a few minutes as everyone was still dealing with the active break-in, trying to keep up with the damage being done to the barricades, trying to expel the zombies they just shot, and Tova and Leon getting high by the bar. Perhaps it was faith in Lachryma's healing ability, the general disarray of a break-in, or just pure laziness on everyone's part, but no one saw that Murray was, in fact dead.
Murray rose to his feet, zombified for the first time. He possessed no conscious thought at all, and the memories of his life seemed to elude him. All he wanted to do was feed the hunger. He grabbed the person closest to them, completely unaware of who it was, grabbed them by the shoulders and delivered a crushing headbut to their nose. As the person collapsed to the ground, Murray reached down and grabbed the person's arm, taking a bite out of their flesh.
