Charlie pulls me off the ground and we start walking towards the apartment building Dave and I had initially cleared. ‘I’ll be damned if we didn’t complete the mission.’ I look down at my watch.

‘I wonder how many points I have?’ I exit out of the Mission menu and go to the Points menu.

Points: 546

‘I started off with 3 Points, then got 100 for the introduction, that must mean I killed 443 zombies. That’s more than 1.5 times the amount I got from the initial mission. Good.’ A grin spreads across my face after my realization.

“Are you ok Josh?” Charlie asks as he sees Josh grin.

“I’m fine. I was just looking at how many points I earned. That reminds me, how many points did you earn?” I respond.

“How do I see how many points I earned?” He asks.

“You go to the points menu on your watch.” I answer.

“Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that.” He says then looks down at his watch. “It says I have 487 points.”

“That’s great.” I say.

“Thanks.” He responds.

While we were talking we reached the apartment building. Dave takes the lead and we walk to the second floor. “We should check to see if any of the doors are unlocked.” I say. “We’ll be able to use the door instead of having to break it.”

“Affirmative.” Dave responds. Dave reaches for the nearest door knob and tries to turn it. “It will not open.” Dave observes.

“Looks like it’s locked.” Charlie adds.

“Next door.” I tell Dave.

We go threw seven doors before we find one that is unlocked. I stop Dave from opening the door fully. I get behind the door and Charlie goes on the other side of the door frame. “I’m going to open it on 3.1,2,3!” I pull open the door and Dave enters, followed by Charlie then me. I scan the room with my Lasgun at the ready as Dave moves threw the living room, bayonet in hand. Charlie is a few feet behind Dave and is aiming at the hallway that leads to the other rooms in the apartment. Dave reaches the kitchen, which is connected to the living room, and walks in. I move into the living room and aim down the hallway. Charlie moves into the hallway and next to a door. I follow and get behind the door. I place my hand on the door knob and open the room. Charlie enters. I get out from behind the door and see Charlie next to a corpse. I scan the rest of the room but see no more danger.

I exit the room and see that Dave is in the hallway next to a door. I get behind the door and open it for him. He enters. I get out from behind the door and look inside what I can now see is the bathroom. Dave turns his head and looks around the bathroom. Finding nothing he leaves. I go to the front door and close it, making sure to lock it before I go back to the living room and plop down onto the sofa. Dave enters the living room along with Charlie. Charlie sits down in the arm chair. Dave sits down onto the floor.

We sit in silence for a couple of minutes until my stomach rumbles. “Damn I’m so hungry. I wish I…” I stopped myself from finishing my sentence as I looked at my backpack, which I had placed on the floor. “Fuck how could I have forgotten!”

“What’s the matter ‘Josh’?” Charlie asks.

“I forgot about something I had bought.” I say as I take out the food and water pill bottles. I pop the cork off the food pill bottle and take 2 out. I place 1 of the food pills in my mouth while I toss the other to Charlie. “It’s called a food pill and it’s supposed to get rid of hunger and provide a days worth of energy.” I crunch down on the pill and a sweet taste fills my mouth. When I swallow my hunger immediately disappears and a warm feeling comes from my stomach. See that I took one Charlie follows suit.

“Wow that’s amazing.” Charlie says.

“Yep.” I respond. I open the water pill bottle and take out 2. I throw one to Charlie and place the other in my mouth. The moment I put it in my mouth it dissolves and I feel my thirst quench. Charlie took the pill I threw at him and Dave took out his pills. Taking out one of each he takes the pills. ‘I feel so tired.’ I lay down on the coach. ‘I think I’ll take a n..a...p.’ My eyes close and darkness consumes me.
