Audrey: Then there's a power struggle, so a civil war might break out. Let's choose two people, the actual leader and the advisor/second in command. Eli: Audrey, who would you pick for those two spots? Audrey: It's kinda tough because we shouldn't have a couple as leaders, so their judgment doesn't get clouded. But we need one of the leaders to be strong because we can't have a weak ass leader. That's my biggest concern, having a leader that gets his ass kicked. So, I would vote Donovan as one, and the second would be Marv or Elijah. Marv is the kind of leader that is a man of words, while Elijah is the type of leader to lead by his actions.
Abigail: I can see what you're saying, and I can agree with you. Niko: Eli, do you want to be the leader? Elijah: I would rather be the second in command since I'm going to be out so much, but I want to discuss decisions with the first in command. Audrey: Elijah, if you have to rank yourself in strength, what would be your rank? Eli: I'm the second strongest; Don is the only person stronger than me in the group. Audrey: The two safes choices are Donovan and Eli, and neither would go crazy with power.
Brianna: Why not me?! Audrey: Do you want me to be nice to you, or do you want the truth? Brianna: Tell me the truth. Audrey: I'm going to play devil's advocate here. I'll admit you're one of the smartest students at this school in terms of book smarts. But in street smarts, emotional intelligence, being reasonable, and being very logical and cynical at times, you don't quite fit the bill. And plus, I wouldn't even listen to you, and honestly, I don't respect you. And I would rather die than follow your lead. And plus, only a few would take you seriously.
Brianna: You're such a bitch! You think you know what's best for everything!!! You act like a genius, but nothing more than fraud! Audrey: I just gave you a test to see if I was right in my assessment. A true leader would've taken the criticism and asked for advice. Losing control over your anger on what a person says is a sign of an unstable leader. So, anyway, I'm going with Don and Eli as the leaders.
Tim: I don't really care for it; I would vote for Eli and Don. Marv: I don't want to be a leader, really. That's a lot of pressure to make tough decisions all of the time. I would rather be free from that burden. Then everyone would look at you differently; it's just too much stress. Abigail: I kinda want to be a leader, but people's lives are on the line. And I would wanna be free from that responsibility—the pressure of making the right decision every time would drive me insane. If this was like a school project, then I would accept the role. But we're talking about a zombie apocalypse; I don't want to be responsible for someone losing their life. I can't take that role.
Justin: I'm comfortable with the role I got. I'm already training you talentless idiots, and that is challenging enough. I wouldn't mind having either one of them already as a damn leader. As long as they don't act like some damn primates, we're good. Eli: I have one condition, the leader should only come in for decisions when the group can't decide, or the group might be making the wrong call. Abigail: I don't no one would disagree with that condition. Eli: Also, I think we should hold off naming leaders and shit; let's do an election later; calling someone leader right now will put too much pressure on them. Tim: That does make sense; we should focus on the task at hand right now.
It's seven-thirty-three; we got twenty-seven minutes left. I think we should go over our routes and eta for everything. If I'm going to be out yonder for a while, I need an actual fucking plan for this shit! Bruh, we still got a lot of shit to discuss! Like, which place are we going to hit up first? What should we do if we encounter a horde? Shit like that! Justin: We should hit up the rental car shop to scavenge the other areas quicker and take more stuff. It's gonna take us one hour and thirty-four minutes to get there. If we encounter another horde, we just go back to school; if that's not an option, we will try to hide elsewhere. If they have us trapped like rats in a cage, we call for back-up to distract them to a different location. Tim: That sounds good, but how long do we stay in each area?
We need to manage our time, so we don't have to fight other people for supplies. I don't know about you niggas, but I'm not trying to be killed over some shit like that! Eli: Don't get your panties in a bunch; it all depends what cars do we get; if we get two SUV's then we should have a bunch of the shit. Marv: I made my mind up; I'm going; If I'm going to live during these times, I need experience so I won't be useless like Sakura. If you don't grind your character in an RPG, then you will always fail. Eli: That's great; if we can drive back three SUVs, that's more supplies for us, two people in each car. And also, we can potentially hit up multiple places with three vehicles; think about it.

One group goes to the clinic, and another go-to Dollar General, and the other goes to various gas stations. Deshon: What time do you think you guys are coming back? Marv: I don't really know because it's too many variables. Mike: We should be gone for three hours; if we do everything well and have no problems on the way, then we get back here sooner than later. Tim: All I know is, I'm not staying out there more than five damn hours! Jae: How about the people staying at the school stay on coms until you guys get back. Let's say y'all be out for four hours; we will determine if you guys stay out there longer. Once the supply team is at the rental car place, we will set a maximum timer of eight hours. If you guys aren't back when the timer goes off, we will leave three people at the school while the others go out there and look for y'all.
Deshon: Excellent idea; I want to piggyback off your notion. Once you guys reach the rental car place, if you don't communicate back to us within ten-minute intervals, everyone will come back to the school; and we reset and go back out there with a better plan. We need to be safe out there. The truth is that we can't be scared to lose someone, but we should use caution to have a better survival rate for everyone on the supply team. On our way there, we should be the ones to call in so we don't get screwed over by you guys checking in on us. Justin: Let's go over some contingency plans; if one person gets hurt while we're on our way to the rental car shop, we should determine whether or not to go on with the mission.
Audrey: If someone gets bit and they don't want to get shot down immediately, they should go with Elijah since he's immune to the virus. Eli: That's pretty smart because I would've just shot them on-site. Deshon: What do we do with someone that has been bit? If they come back to the school and they find out about the bite. Eli: I thought that was common-sense!? We kill them; it's simple. We don't need to waste resources on a dead person, there is no cure, and it's no use trying to help them unless they've been bitten on the finger or something. We can just slice it off before the virus takes over. But we don't know how long they have been bitten, so putting them through that pain is unnecessary.
Deshon: We should let them live until their final moments so they can have closure! There humans beings; we need to honor that! Eli: What is the use of helping someone that is going to die and become a zombie?! Only a snowflake would think of something like that! Once I see you get bitten by one of those flesh-eating rotting corpses, I'm putting a bullet right between the eyes or the back of the head. Unless the person once to do a literal suicide mission for us, then they can live until the zombies eat them alive. Deshon: What is wrong with you?! What happens if I get bitten!? Eli: I will kill you, soon as you get bitten. I'll be like, goodbye, my friend, you fought to the very end. Abigail: That's strange; the zombie expert from the CDC is back on the news. Everyone, you know the drill!
He's back already; he was just on there like an hour ago!? Did he figure out the other types of zombies? Or is he about to address everyone that is about to go outside? This might affect our plans because it's seven-forty-eight. We got eleven minutes until we went out for supplies. If we talk for twenty minutes, we're screwed because we will be behind schedule when going to the rental car place. So, out of all of us on the supply team, who is going to die first? Justin, can't die because he won't be caught lackin. As long as Mike is moving on his feet, I highly doubt he would die in this supply run. He's going to make sure he won't get caught lackin, and plus, he's my teammate, I can't have him dying like De'Niro. Marv is the smartest one here; he always has a plan for something, that's the main reason I recruited him to join the baseball team. If I was a betting man, I'll say Donovan will die first because it's usually the ones you don't think would die first. Tim will find a way to survive, and Mike will protect Audrey, so I guess we're good. Don, you better watch your back because I feel like you're on death's door.
