Chapter 5 of the book Infected
The infection is out in the open
"Going public"
by Michaelk
Fade In:
INT. FROST CREEK HOSPITAL. LAB
A faint glow comes from a corner desk. Tevist sits at a
microscope, jotting notes on a pad. Orderly one enters and
quietly walks over.
ORDERLY ONE
Any luck doc?
TEVIST
(Leans back and rubs his eyes)
Yeah, plenty of luck, and all of it
bad.
ORDERLY ONE
So you haven't found a cure yet?
TEVIST
Cure? I can't even tell what
disease I'm dealing with. It's
constantly mutating into something
else. Every time I think I'm
getting close, it changes.
ORDERLY ONE
I'm real sorry to hear that doc.
TEVIST
(Looking at him intently) How
many?
ORDERLY ONE
Two staff and one bystander.
TEVIST
So that puts our total up to what
now? twenty-five?
ORDERLY ONE
Twenty-six.
TEVIST
(Thoughtfully) Twenty-six
ORDERLY ONE
I can't believe it's only been
three days since Gus walked in the
door.
TEVIST
Gus (sighs) I wish we would've kept
him here.
ORDERLY ONE
We didn't have a choice, Lohr
would've fired us.
TEVIST
Would you like to go tell one of
our incurable patients that they're
lives are worth less than our jobs?
ORDERLY ONE
(Thoughtfully) No, not really.
TEVIST
I didn't think so, no moral person
would.
ORDERLY ONE
I know one person who would.
TEVIST
So do I, and it's time he got the
chance.
Cut to:
INT. HOSPITAL. LOHR'S OFFICE.
Camera pans around a dark office, settling in on several empty
bottles of assorted liquor. Lohr is leaned back in his chair,
snoring loudly and drooling. A loud bang of the door being
thrown open wakes him, causing him to lose his balance and
fall to the floor.
TEVIST
Oh my God, are you okay?
LOHR
Umm, I think so.
ORDERLY ONE
I don't know, you've got a nasty
lump on your head.
LOHR
Where?
ORDERLY ONE
Here. (Hits Lohr over the head with
a whiskey bottle)
TEVIST
Well done.
Cut to:
INT. HOSPITAL. HALLWAY.
Camera angle looking straight up, ceiling lights slowly going
by as focus fades in and out. Camera angle from Lohr's eyes
facing backward as he tries to sit up and focuses on Orderly
one pushing the gurney.
ORDERLY ONE
Good morning. How was your nap?
LOHR
(Yawning) Not bad, I had a dream
about...Hey, wait a minute, you hit
me!
ORDERLY ONE
Yes I did.
LOHR
You're fired!
ORDERLY ONE
Okay. (Continues pushing gurney)
LOHR
Did you hear me? I said you're
fired!
ORDERLY ONE
Did you hear me? I said okay.
LOHR
(Looks down to see he is
restrained) Where are you taking
me?
ORDERLY ONE
The observation room.
LOHR
Why?
TEVIST
(From behind Lohr) So you can see
some of your patients.
LOHR
That's not funny, you know I don't
have a liscense to practice
anymore. And by the way, you're
fired too.
TEVIST
Okay.
LOHR
What's wrong with you people?
TEVIST
How should we react? Sit in our
offices, get drunk, and wallow in
self pity?
LOHR
(Struggles to free himself)
TEVIST
Don't bother, we're almost there.
LOHR
Almost where?
ORDERLY ONE
I told you, the observation room.
TEVIST
I'll go around and distract them.
LOHR
Distract who?
ORDERLY ONE
Them. (Opens the door to the
observation room and shoves the
gurney into the room, then slams
the door shut)
Orderly one walks over to the observation window beside
Tevist.
ORDERLY ONE
Oops...
TEVIST
(Smiles at him while watching the
gurney disappear behind a wall of
infected)

Fade in:
INT. FROST CREEK PRISON. CELL BLOCK
Officer Tyler is doing a routine patrol. Inmates are joking
with him and asking questions when a news bulletin comes on
the TV.
NEWS ANCHOR
We are getting reoports of a major
disturbance in the downtown Frost
Creek area. For further details we
go live to Judy Jenkins, Judy.
JUDY
Thank you Rex. I'm down here near
the high school where there seems
to be a lot of activity. (Screams
in the background, as people run
by)
JUDY
Excuse me (grabbing a passerby)
could you tell me what's going on
here?
PASSERBY
No! Leggo of me! (Yanks free from
her grip and runs away nearly
knocking her down)
JUDY
(Recovers, straightens her hair.
Seeing another person standing in
the background staring at her)
Excuse me sir, do you know what's
happening here? (Sticks microphone
in his face)
PASSERYBY TWO
(Stares at microphone as though he
has never seen one before, then
suddenly grabs Judy's arm and takes
a large bite out of it)
JUDY
(Screams as blood spurts out of her
arm, and tries to pull away as
passerby two calmly bites her arms
again)
CAMERAMAN
(Drops camera, yanks judy away and
takes her back to the van)
Camera view, camera, laying on it's side, blood drips down the
lens as passerby two leans down to sniff at it.
NEWS ANCHOR
Umm...We're going to a commercial.
(Screen goes blank)
TYLER
(Quietly) What the hell?
