[The Set-up]
One of the busier hospitals in Malton, even before the zombie outbreaks, Catherine General has become the anchor of a vital complex in the Stanbury Village section of town. It is next door to a Necrotech facility, and is often home to the recovery efforts after survivor setbacks in Ridleybank, Barhahville and Nichols Mall.
This week is especially busy as a massive zombie horde has smashed all of the malls to the east of the area, sending a flood of battered, bruised and beaten survivors to this isolated stretch of Stanbury Village to recover.
At the hospital are legendary surgeons like Dr. Pierre St. Laurent and Dr. Miriam Goodwin. Amongst the flood of survivors hitting the hospital is Murray Jay Suskind. Who stops and glances at the "No Guns Allowed" sign posted over the strong but passable barricades. Stationed just on the other side was a guard with a wicked looking submachine gun who took Murray's three pistols and dozen or so clips. As Murray was handed a number he laughed at the thought of a coat check for guns, "You can claim your weapons when you leave."
A tired looking nurse warily glanced up at Murray asking, "How may I help you?"
"Well, I have a neck wound that ought to be looked at, that and I just got revived."
The nurse shrugged and said, "You're a low priority right now. We're in full-blown triage with this fucking Mall Tour sending everyone our way. You might want to see if someone has a FAK in the waiting room. If not, you may have to wait a few hours."
As Murray settled down in the waiting room, he took a fleeting glance at the magazines that were probably outdated even before the uprising when something caught his eye. A familiar face who was wearing a poncho. As he walked up to her he said, "Uh... sorry about making waste a needle and a FAK back there."
