Chapter 10: UnDead Girl by Stephen Simpson

They had started walking down the hall when the sound of a ringing phone made Genesis jump.

Finn sighed and smiled apologetically while she pulled a small phone out of her pocket. “Yes,” she said. She listened for a little while. “I’m on my way.” She ended the call. “I’m sorry, Genesis. They need me. You’ll have to make your way to the lab by yourself. Just follow the hallway to the right. The hallway will end in a big reception room, and everyone should be there already to meet you, so you cannot miss it.”

As she turned another corner to the right, she heard a soft giggle coming from the left. The sound made her stop and move closer to the white wall. There was nowhere to hide, but the instinct to not be seen was great. In a doorway further up the opposite hallway, she saw two people. She should have continued walking along the hallway to the right, pretended she had not seen them, but her feet were suddenly so heavy she could not lift them up.

The young man looked to be the same age as her and he was standing with his back pressed against a door frame, facing away from Genesis. His head was tilted back and although he was facing the opposite direction, and she could only see the side of his face, Genesis could tell he was handsome.
