Dead or Alive

07: A New Home

"So this is it?" Leedo questions, pulling up to a decent looking building.

The three story building looked a tad run down, obviously no one has used the building since it originally went out of business. It was still durable though, the widows are all intact and it does looked inhabited, meaning no one is inside trying to do the same as them. The buildings beside this one look to be in similar states, some even having moss growing on the walls by alleyways.

"Yup, if you pull around to the next road there should be access to the garage." Seoho responded, sounding happy yet looked anxious.

Leedo did just that, pulling into the very small driveway and stopping just before the garage door.

"I wonder if there's power." Seoho muttered, staring at the building.

"It seemed like really random places that have power and don't have power." Ravn added to the conversation. "I couldn't really tell if this street has power though."

"Well, what's the plan?" Leedo asks while drumming his fingers on the wheel. "We have to make sure its safe before we go in."

"I'll go in." Ravn says matter of factly, already moving to open the van door.

"Not by yourself your not." Leedo quickly stops the older, earning a huff from said person.

"I'll be fine." Ravn counters, moving again. "Plus I don't think anyone else wants to go in."

Ravn had a point. No one else really spoke up to oppose that idea. The youngest three were content with staying in the van, and couldn't really defend themselves if they were in the situation where that's needed. Leedo was driving, and wanted to protect the others from the outside. That left Seoho, who was being a tad bit selfish and didn't want to experience being jumped by another human, or a zombie at that. But Seoho knew that he had to be the bigger person.

"I'll go in with you." Seoho sighed, leaning forwards to grab his backpack. "I know the layout so we can secure the area faster."

"Sounds like a plan then." Leedo finalized before Ravn could object. "You guys get the door open and I'll drive in. We'll sit out here until you guys say its safe."

"What if something goes wrong though?" Keonhee buds in, his concern quite evident in his voice, though just as obvious on his face.

"Well..." Ravn paused knowing what he's going to say sounds bad. "If you hear screams then you'll know I guess. And if that happens then you guys should get out of here."

"You can't expect us to just leave you here." Hwanwoong cried at the idea, slightly out of his seat.

"Don't worry, we won't leave them." Leedo reassures, as the driver he gets that choice, he then turned to Ravn. "For once think positively, I have a feeling this will work out."

Ravn let out a sigh, but nodded his head firmly. He opened the van and got out, quickly shutting the door behind him. Seoho did the same thing, looking more worried than the older.

"Alright, first things first, lets get this garage open." Ravn spoke quietly, not wanting to alert anything that might be nearby.

"Yeah..." Seoho trailed off, watching around the area skeptically.

The duo walked over to the garage door, noticing a keypad on a parallel wall. Seoho instantly walked up to it and typed in the code he used to use to open it. That however did nothing. He tried again, and still got nothing.

"Either there's no power or the password doesn't work anymore." Seoho listed the reasons, leaning against the same wall as the keypad.

"Alright." Ravn sighed, sliding a hand down the side of his face. "So let's just go through the front and open it from the inside, because I doubt we could lift it from here."
