Cedric nodded, and reached into his backpack. He pulled out two cantines, one of which he threw to Luke. "Fill 'er up." -He drank deeply of the water, and then filled his cantine, sticking it back in his backpack. He kept steady watch around the perimiter, watching for any stray zombies that may be around.

Filling up his canteen Luke said, "Lucky you had those on you eh?" He walked over to a bench and sat down on it, catching his breath. He looked to the skies, it was the evening now, they didn't have much sunlight left.
"Cedric, we need to find a temporary shelter for the night, an apartment building, perhaps" said Luke as he sighed to himself. He looked around them, in the direction they were heading, there was an apartment building. Thats where they were headed.

Cedric thought for a second, then talked. "A lot of people are in apartmant buildings. Perhaps they got turned into zombies.. Think about it. We may be safer out here than in there. I say we find something like a convenience store and bar the windows shut, put wooden planks over them.. At least then we'd have food and drink."

"Yeah, but, we could sweep the building, then barricade as well as fill the stairs with furniture, we could then turn off the elevator and have a safe place for a few days. Besides, we'd have a huge height advantage and plenty of food and water from the apartments... but then again accomplishing that could take a few days, should we risk it?" Luke said as he rose from the bench, preparing to set off once again.

Cedric looked down at the ground and cocked his gun. "How about we go to the convenience store, clear out any stray zombies, pack whatever food and drink we can, then return to the apartmants and go through with your plan? At least it'll ensure that all of our supplies are fresh."

Luke turned to the apartment and said, "I have a better idea, lets head to that convenience store, we don't have the manpower or the time to sweep an apartment. Then after we get supplies..." Luke fixed his eye on the fire escape of the apartment, "We scale the fire escape and rest on the roof!" Now smiling Luke said, "How about it?"

Cedric once again looked to the grounbd and thinked for a minute before answering. "Well, we'd still be outside, and you never know, those zombies could figure out how to work a ladder or a fire escape elevator.. I say we stick with the original plan. Stock up, find a room, hole up."

"The Fire escape is 10ft above the ground, far out of any zombies reach, we could easily find a ladder, pull it up with us" Luke began to walk towards the Convenience store keeping a watchful eye for any zombies, luckily, none were around. He turned around to Cedric and said, "Coming?"

Cedric looked up and nodded, following closely behind. His gun was loaded and completely ready to go, as was the aluminum baseball bat strapped to his back.

Luke moved quickly and quietly across the grass, a convenience store was located on the other side of the park, he could see it ahead of him. Normally this wouldn't have been a hard place to reach, but, they had to be extremely quiet as to not attract the undead.
He was almost there, just a hundred meters or so away, but then he saw it, a zombie, slowly lumping its way along, but not headed for them. Luke turned quickly around and whispered, "hit the deck!"

Cedric had played his share of Metal Gear Solid games.. He knew the deal. Ducking low, he hit the ground quietly and stealthily, laying out in the grass. He pushed a few blades apart as not to be noticed, but to where he could still see the zombie limping along. He looked around, trying to look for what the zobmie was after, but saw nothing.

Laying there, Luke kept his eyes affixed on the Zombie, releasing his breath he whispered, "Cedric, Shift yourself around so you can cover our backs, be quiet, we'll wait the fucker out, hes heading west, to the main business district, must be some survivors down there." He relaxed his gaze on the Zombie in question, instead searching around him for any other threats.

*A shadowy figure stood atop the convenience store, looking into the night. He slowly looked down at the two boys trying not to be noticed by the zombie. He smiled and put his sunglasses back on.*
Finally... I've got company.

Luke continued to wait in the grass, the sun was beginning to set, they had perhaps half an hour of day light left, the Zombie had finally left his sight, and it was safe to move on. "Cedric, its gone, we can get back to work."
Pushing himself off the ground he surveyed the area, not a Zombie in sight, they were safe, for now. He ran to the Convenience store, reaching the storefront, he tried to open the door. "Blast! Locked!" he whispered. Reaching to his back, he set his hands on his crowbar, taking it off he set it into position. He pulled, the lock gave loose, they were in.

Today was Miguel's day off. A perfect Saturday. No work. No family as his family went to visit his parents in Japan but he didn't go as he had to work tomorrow. Miguel woke up at 12:30 and spent the entire day in front of the television watching all the programs he saved thanks to Tivo.
The sun was now setting and Miguel decided it was time for ice cream. Strawberry ice cream, his favorite. After scooping out all the ice cream he wanted he thought it wasn't enough. He needed chocolate sauce as well.
After fixing his ice cream to perfection, Miguel worked his way back into the living room. However, he noticed something strange as he looked out the window. It was a human but there was something strange about it. Miguel was about to disregard the person but he was watching Dawn of the Dead. "You've gotta be shitting me!"
Miguel went back into the kitchen and put his bowl of ice cream in the freezer. "Save you for later" He said. He then ran up stairs to fetch his katana and Beretta and boots. He buttoned up his shirt and went outside. There he witnessed that there was not only one zombie...but several!
