As Grimm smashed into another car, his hands finally reached the chains around his neck, and he was able to pull himself forward slowly, stopping only when being slammed into a building or vehicle by Vengeance's cycle. As he pulled himself up along the chain, edging towards the bike, he noticed a slight buzzing coming from the side of his jacket. "Dammit," he thought to himself, "why does the phone always ring when I'm busy?!"

Pulling himself up onto the seat of the bike, he began to wrestle for control of the wheels. Reaching into his jacket with one hand, he pulled the phone out and spoke. "Grimm, here. Danny? Listen, this isn't a good time, what? Dirk hung up on you guys? Well, he IS a bastard. . .Unexpected opposition? Yeah, you could say that. . ." as the bike smashed into a couple of waiting zombies, leaving them piles of muck in the streets, "Omicron? No, not that I'm aware of. Listen, I really have to go, Danny. Ok."

And Grimm steered the bike directly towards Vengeance, waiting with sword in hand. . .

As Tayden walked across the battlefield, zombies and dirt exploded around him, quickly taken out by Dirk and Jason from the safety of the bookstore. Tayden remained unharmed the entire time, almost as if he knew unerringly where to step.
