After the long trek east Jace had finally reached Chicago. As he wondered the streets he was tempted to look inside one of the local stores for a map but recalled the last time he did. Just thinking about it gave him the shivers. As he continued onwards he finally gave in and went inside the Barnes & Nobles he just past up. Three minutes later Jace came bursting through the door with two infected following right behind him. He would have fired at them with his pistol if could take the time to take aim and fire, which just wasn't going to happen.
At the next intersection there was a car pileup just what he needed. With the movements only a master of his art could perform he jumped, slid, and vaulted over the cars managing to put some distance between him and his pursuers before he was put back onto a less crowded street. Jace took a quick glance to see how far the infected were and noticed that the infected hunting party had picked up another member. "You have got to screwing with me, infected don't bother carriers my ass" he shouted continueing down the nearby street.
Further down the street was tunnel under a bridge. The tunnel Jace could care less about, but the bridge could only be accessed by traveling a mile and a half back the way they came. Unless you had a little of finesse backed up by a good old adrenaline. Jace angled himself and launched himself towards the wall quickly running up it. At the apex of the climb he pushed off upwards just barily grabbing the side of the bridge. He quickly pulled himself up listening to the growls of the infected below. In the heat of the moment Jace stood ontop of the railing looking down upon the infected taunting them. As he continued his verbal assault on the infected he lost his balance and began to sway back and forth until his body began falling forward. Just when there seemed like all hope was lost someone grabbed Jace's hand and pulled him back to safety.
Sorry if anything here isn't up to standards, this is my first attempt afterall.
