There were only a few people Via actually cared about getting infected in this building. That didn't mean the others weren't nice or good people, they just weren't important to her. Of course, when the infected event broke out, no one truly mattered enough for her to stay at the Wexley. Hannah and Aggie were out for the day and if Sher was still in the building? Via knew her neighbor was tough enough to handle herself. Grabbing her packed bag, she jumped out onto the fire escape and didn't look back.
Chaos wasn't new to Via. She heard panicked screams and a gunshot as the elevator ticked down to the second floor. Via reached down automatically for her gun, but she didn't carry it much now she was at the Wexley in innocent ballerina mode.
She'd been immersed in people screaming, dying or crying enough that it was merely static around her when the golden doors opened. One tactical sweep of from the doors of The W across the atrium to the diner's swinging doors told her enough of what she needed to know.
A flash of strawberry hair caught her attention as Via stepped off the elevator, clicking into survival mode. Aggie. From here she could see the nasty bite on Aggie's cheek; Eric must be fighting the chomper that bit her.
"She's delayed!" Via shouted to Ziggy as he ran to his sister as though he wouldn't know his own sister's diagnosis. Via memorized the charts while her blood was being taken for testing that first day.
Grabbing a lamp from the nearest side table, Via ripped the cord from the wall. She couldn't get close to Bob -- she was delayed too -- but she could help. Via ran forward and stopped ten feet away. She rolled the heavy metal lamp across the floor to Eric. "You have to smash its brains in or it won't be fully neutralized."
