SOS/Book 2/The Prison

Chapter 23

Nobodys point of view
"Turn off the shit," Pedro grumbled at the music Tom had chosen.
"Its not shit." Tom replied, humming along the tune of little lies by Fleetwood Mac.

"Your literally children," Katelyn said, turning off the speaker. "We need to go and find the armoury hidden here."
"Im ready, its Pedro we're waiting for." Tom said, turning his gaze to Pedro who was sunbathing on the grass.
"Pedro have you even got a bag ready?" Katelyn asked.

Pedro lifted up a backpack next to him and threw it at her direction,
"Fair enough," she sighed.

"Were going then!" Tom yelled back as him and Katelyn walked away.
"Im cominggggg." he replied, slowly getting up and picking up his bag.

"Where do you wanna look first then?" Katelyn asked, "I mean I really don't know where to start, armouries are usually underground but its a prison so it could be anywhere."
"It wont be in any cell blocks so we can tick them off our list," Tom said, "I think if we just wandered around the corridors we might find a room we've never seen before."
"Probably the best idea." Pedro agreed.
"Woah are yall actually getting along?!" Katelyn laughed.
"Dont jinx it." Tom groaned.

"Okay so the hallways by cell block one first and then just go from there?" she confirmed,
"Yeah, lets go," Pedro said walking ahead.

They reached cell block one and opened the iron gates to enter the main hallways. The main hallways were also attached to a lot of smaller hallways making the prison a bit like a maze. This would take a while.

"Lets play a game," Pedro said, getting bored at the amount of corridors they had been through that looked the exact same as the last.
"Childdddddd," Katelyn repeated,
"Shut up, so are you in?"
"Sure," she said,
"Yeah okay." Tom nodded.

"Okay the game isssss, guess the person."
"What?" Katelyn laughed,
"You know, ill act out someone and you've gotta guess who it is."
"What like... movies or people we know?" Tom asked,
"People we know,"
"Okay sure." Katelyn said.

First Pedro ran ahead and stopped in the middle of the corridor in-front of them.
He put on a straight face but Katelyn and Tom couldn't stop laughing.
First he put out his arms in front of him like he was holding a crossbow, then he put on an angry expression.
"DARYL!" Katelyn and Tom said in unison giggling,

"Okay my turn next," Tom said running further.
He put his thumb in his mouth and started fake crying like a child.
"Damn thats a hard one," Pedro laughed, "But imma have to say Judith."
"Same," Katelyn giggled.

"Wait look at this room," Tom ran to a red door that looked different from all the others they had been past.
It was dusty and looked like it hadn't been opened for ages, even before the apocalypse.
Pedro wiped his sleeve along an iron sign plastered to the front of the red door.
'Underground, do not enter without authority'
The sign read.

"Well I have a good feeling about this red door I don't know about yall," Pedro said putting his hand on the door knob.
"Wait!" Katelyn said, pulling out her knife, "Have you not learnt anything?"
She tapped five times on the metal bars around the wood.
Growling came from inside.

Pedros cheeks flushed red in embarrassment, if he had opened the door the walkers would have come straight out and bit him.

"I guess we didn't completely clear out the prison then," Tom said.
Everyone got out their knives ready to stab the walkers, then Pedro opened the door.
About five came out but they were all weak, and small. It was probably because they had been locked inside without any food or sunlight.

When all of them were dead, Katelyn tilted her head.
"Why didn't they try to bite us?"
"I have no idea, maybe it was because they were full?" Tom said,
"They weren't full, walkers don't get full. And plus how would they eat locked underground,"
Tom and Pedro looked at each other in confusion,
"We can tell Rick when him, Michonne and Daryl return." Pedro said, "Now lets go and find this armoury."
