5 minutes later...

Jae: Now, I'm thinking about whether we could just go on our own. Elijah: Wait, what!!? Jae: I'm only kidding, I would be way too scared to do that. We should expand our search range. We can find more stuff. Elijah: You want to scavenge something like a Walmart? Jae: That's a death wish, that place is a hotspot, that everyone would go there and loot. I was thinking of counties that have low populations. So we can get stuff without dealing with other people or zombies. Elijah:

Speaking of zombies, what kind of weapon do you have if you have to encounter a zombie? Jae: Just a hammer, I thought you were going by yourself. Elijah: Don't worry, I'm going by myself, so we can be in and out, and one of us can live and tell the tale. But it's better to be safe than sorry when being outside. How is that gas mask treating you? Jae: It's okay, but I'm starting to sweat, but I'm too scared to take it off. Elijah: At least you won't turn. Jae: I guess so, everything just went to shit so fast. This morning, everything was normal, I went to school, and everything seemed familiar. Until Principal Candance got on the intercom and everything went to hell so fast, everyone ran outside and tried to leave school grounds. Everyone started to turn zombie.

Elijah: I probably would've gone outside and got turned to a zombie. Jae: But you're immune, I saw it with my own eyes. Elijah: I don't know if I'm immune to zombie bites. Jae: You should be; if you can walk outside and breathe that toxic air, then you should be resistant to their tastes. Elijah: Hopefully, I never find out, I don't want to get bit at all! And plus, don't put that negative energy in the air, I don't want to find out if I'm immune to bites! Even if I'm immune, I probably need a tetanus shot or antibiotics for that shit! Jae: I didn't think about that; they really don't cover that in the tv shows. Elijah: It's kinda strange that we haven't seen any other zombie except for the basic zombies. We had to pass like sixteen zombies on the road. Jae: Yeah, all we saw were the basic bitches. Wait a damn minute, you just had to say it, now we're about to see every kind of zombie! Elijah: You have nothing to worry about; all you have to do is stay in the car and drive that's it.

Jae: If you see them, while you're looting the place out. I'm going to laugh at your ass because I'm not helping you out. Elijah: Damn, that's cruel as fuck! That's really cold-blooded as hell! Jae: You're immune, so at least you don't have to worry about it. Hey, what kind of zombie are you scared of? Elijah: Honestly, the others that we don't know about. At least the ones we see, we can form some kind of strategy against them, so we have a chance. Jae: Not even the stalker type of zombie? Elijah: At least we have information about them; they should only come out at night because they blind during the daytime. And they hunt in packs and stalk you then ambush you when the time is right. Jae: The ones that we don't know about are potentially more deadly than the others because we don't know anything. Elijah: Exactly, that's why we need to be cautious; we can never let our guard down while we're out. Not even safe in the car. Who knows one of those unknown types of zombies can flip the car over. Well, at least I have you as my driver, so I don't worry about crashing into zombies. Jae: Now, I wished that I'd never said yes to be your driver. Elijah: Come on, it can't be that bad out here except for the mindless dead people walking and eating you. Jae: Well, I guess it's one benefit being out here.

Elijah: What's that? Jae: I don't have to hear that, hoe, Audrey. Elijah: Damn, it's that bad! Well, I really don't know anything about Audrey except for her not being so nice. Well, that's what I heard from De'Niro, at least. Jae: That was putting it very nicely. Elijah: Damn, she's that problematic!? She can't be that bad. Jae: Trust me, she is a diva from hell, calling her a bitch would be a compliment. Elijah: Looks like I dodged a bullet; I didn't have any classes with her. Jae: I would trade spots with you in a heartbeat to not have any classes with her. I have her in every class, even my dual-enrollment courses. She's even part of my summer volleyball team; I can't avoid her. I hate that hoe with that passion! Elijah: I just imagine all of the girls in the group in one car going across the country. Jae: I would kill Audrey, Dariel, Brianna. Yeah, we won't be able to travel thirty minutes with all those personalities. The three I mentioned having to go and die somewhere! They're the cancer of the group right now. Elijah: I usually stay out of the drama, just keep to myself and talk to my teammates and friends. But I do hear stuff from them from time to time when I want to. So can you fill me in, please? Jae: Fuck, no! I'm just playing. Umm, what do you want to be filled in about? Elijah: Who doesn't get along with each other? Jae: Well, almost nobody fucks with Audrey, only Dariel and Michael fuck with her like that. The real reason Michael is around her is that he started dating Dariel for two weeks now. Elijah: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. My boy is out there, ballin.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Jae: Well, it's more than that. Audrey has been trying to get at him for a little minute now. Mike has been entertaining her since Dariel not letting him smash. Elijah: Mike only cares about looks; he just wants to fuck around. Well, Mike and Dariel had a loud argument about it, and this is the part when Audrey swoops in and entices Michael. Elijah: I believe it; my teammate really only cares about looks; personality is not a necessity when he wants to date. He was also like I got some last practice we were in, and it wasn't from Dariel. Jae: Audrey is a hoe for that. Elijah: Does Dariel know about it, and what did she do? Jae: I don't know what really happened, but they look made up or whatever. But I saw Audrey getting even closer to Michael again. Fuck I got sidetracked. Imani, Abigail, Mariah, Brianna, and I don't get along with Dariel. Bri and Imani don't get along. That goes the same with Abigail. Also, Bri doesn't get along, Mariah. Elijah: Damn, it's the complete opposite with the guys, everybody cool with each other.

Jae: Shut the hell up! We're approaching the clinic. Elijah: I forgot to mention this, it looks like we're going to be roommates. I have something to tell you. Jae: Save it until you get back. That will be your reward if you don't get eaten. Elijah: Alright, I agree to your terms then.

I exited out the passenger seat and grabbed my baseball bat and Jae's pink spiky bookbag. Elijah: Hey, if there's a problem, just take off and call me once you're safe. Also, use the radio to contact Justin, it's passed the time to contact one another. If other humans follow you, then don't go back to the school; just try to get far away from them as far as possible. Once you're safe, then call me. Jae: Alright, slugger. Elijah: Okay, boomer. I slammed the car door shut. And went to this small clinic no bigger than a local convenience store. I opened the glass door that said Mayberry Clinic on the door. I walked in, the lights on, the place hasn't been looted as it looks from it by the reception desk.

If I were on drugs, where would I be? I guess I'll take this hand sanitizer. Is there anything useful that would benefit the group? There's nothing behind the reception desk that's useful. Oh, wait a minute, I see sticky notes on this clipboard. Nurse Cole, please check room 14-6D for painkillers and antibiotics. Okay, got to find that room so I can get the hell out of here. It's way too quiet for my liking; I think I should've bought Deshon at least someone can have my back. I just want to relax in my car! Strangely, I haven't seen one motherfucking zombie or fucking people in here yet! Someone had to be here; the front door was open. Something is about to go down here. I can fucking feel it coming. Going down this hallway just looks suspect as hell. I think something is about to pop out at me. Might as well suck it up and check these rooms for medical supplies. Who will be the lucky door that I will open? And it's 11-3D! The crowd goes wild! I think I'm going crazy; people that talk to themselves are crazy, right? Wait! Focus!

I'd opened the door all the way, and the room has no zombies or people, What a relief! I check the bottom cabinets, only to find latex gloves and hand sanitizer. I checked the top cabinets, and I found two medkits. I shoved them all in the bookbag. Alright, now this is good. If this place stays like this, I'll come back later with the squad. I left the room and proceeded to find my particular door. That's 12-6A, 13-6R. There we go 14-6D. I can hear groaning from zombies; I knew this place had zombies! Fuck! I think I hear like 3 or four zombies in there. Me, here's the game plan, we're going to open this foot and shoot all these fucking zombies. Alright, sounds like a good plan. Three, two, one, go! I turned the knob and put my shoulder into the door, but the metal door is locked. Damn it, I have to come back; this isn't worth the risk. Yep, time to go back another day. Well, it wouldn't be wrong if I die, right?! Think about it, no more pain ever again. I kinda want to bleed out slowly until I die. I want to see my life flash before my eyes and just see her also. I want to hear her voice again. That sounds good to me; what a great plan! But I kinda don't want to leave my friends after I'd promised to stay and help them. Since I can't open this metal door, I guess I go to the other patient rooms and loot what I can. That sounds great!
