"Stay right here."

Michi and Ryu nod their heads as they take the stuffed animals and blankets that Felix gave him. "I'll be back in no time," Felix said and gave them gentle kisses on the forehead for reassurance. The two nodded their heads and Felix put a finger to his lips as he backed to the open window, the twins doing the same action with nods.

Felix smiles and puts the scarf onto his face and head. He fixed the bag and climbed out the window, being careful as his feet made contact with the metal top of the dumpster. He hopped down and adjusted his bag as he walked to the entrance of the alleyway. He looked both ways before taking a right to see if the convenient store he saw going to school everyday wasn't fully raided yet.

As he walked through the empty streets, he kept his shield up along with the gun that was fully loaded to his side in case. They didn't do much, but it was enough to distract them to get away. He shook the feeling off of him as his eyes landed on the store that was getting closer with every step he took. He looked around before picking his walking pace up to a jog to arrive quicker. He opened the door and was surprised at how much food there was, but he did remember that they rarely ever went to a convenient store to raid for food. He brushed the feeling off and stepped inside, carefully making his way around the deserted area to get food for the kids mostly.

He stuffed things that were easy for the two to swallow before deciding to grab himself something. He was about to move from his position but froze when he heard the familiar footsteps outside. He zipped up his bag slowly and slowly moved to the end of the aisle to peak out around the corner to look through the window. He peeked his head around the corner and saw that the robot came in the direction he came in and it seemed to be a wanderer as the way it was walking.

Felix came up with that term on his own as he noticed a few of them around. They weren't programmed correctly and they wouldn't attack you, but they were only programmed to wander around to make it look like it had a purpose. They had a certain walking style which was how you could detect them; he could at least.

He calmed down after he made mentally told himself it was okay to go out. He stood up and left the convenient store, deciding to go up to the robot to see if there was a way he could turn it off. As he got closer to it, he noticed that it seemed off; way off. He stopped in his tracks as the robot did as well.

"Oh shit," He whispers as the robot made a 90 degress turn to look at Felix with the laser pointed at him. Felix yelped and quickly dove to the side to avoid the shot. "Well that's great," He groans and rolled to his left to once again avoid the laser shot at him. He laid on his back as he shot the robot in the head, the bullet making a small dent in the metal along with confusing the robot and accidentally shooting in the air.

Felix stood up quickly and made a run in the direction he was heading before he stopped at the convenient store. He knew the robot was going to follow him so he needed a way to find something else to do any other type of harm to the robot. He glanced behind him and saw the robot was starting to move after him which also made Felix run faster. As he ran, his eyes scanned every store he passed until it landed on a department store.

He ran over and tried to open the door, groaning when it didn't budge. "Through the window," He said but stopped and smirked. He turned around and waited for the robot to fully charge at him. "That's it," Felix said as he got ready to move to the side, "be the bull." As the robot got closer, Felix dove to the side and rolled a few inches away as the robot crashed through the window, falling onto the floor. Felix stood up and smiled as he ran through the broken window and disappeared into the store to find other equipment.

He slowed his running down to a walk before stopping entirely to catch his breath. "Oh, shit," He panted out as he stood up straight and took deep breaths. He took around where he was to see he was by many ropes. He lips purse as he scanned through them all, grabbing one and turning it over. "If they can't turn quick enough, then maybe..."

A smirk grew on his lip at the idea and he quickly tied a loop that he could pull. He wrapped it up and held it on his arm as he walked through the store to see if he could find anything else which turned out to be different screwdrivers and hammers, but mostly hammers. He also grabbed an axe and something to sharpen it with before squatting down and putting the hammers, screwdrivers, and the extra rope he brought in case he left some in a rush. "Fun weapon," Felix muttered as he put the bag back on and huffs.

He made his way back to the front of the store and saw the robot was struggling to get up which made Felix give a genuine laugh. "Oh, this is the most brightening thing I've seen in the past month," Felix said as he shook his head, looking around the robots back before spotting something on the back of his head. "So they moved it to the head now," Felix muttered as he dropped his bag and unzipped it to take out the screwdrivers. He found the correct one and started unscrewing the top part. "Stop moving, stupid piece of metal," Felix insulted as he tossed the piece to the side. "Ooh...I hated this shit in high school," Felix groaned as he looked at it. "If I were a camera thingy thing, where would I put it," Felix muttered and tapped his chin. "Meh, don't care."

He stabbed the multiple hardrivers and different electronic devices which caused the robot to stop moving completely. "Feels good," He said as he removed it and put it back into the bag. He zipped up his bag and picked up the axe, leaving the store and taking backways to get back to the area he was staying in with Michi and Ryu.
