Sara turned to Trisha. Trisha Kennedy was Sara's best friend. They met when Sara was looking to rent a room in her house. Trisha was 20 with black hair with blond highlights. She had dark brown eyes.

" Wow this is getting scary," Sara said to her coworker, Trisha. Trisha was her roommate and her best friend. Trisha helped Sara get her first job. Unfortunately it was at Burger Tank.

" Yeah the riots are getting out of control," Trisha said.

" You still think it's riots?"

" Obviously it has to be riots. You don't really believe that zombie mutants bullshit do you?"

" Well the news lady had pictures."

" Yeah and Amble Dare is full of herself. She's probably pulling another Orson Wells."

" Isn't that news station close by? What if they come here?"

" Then you can scare them away with the shotgun you got for your birthday, you have nothing to worry-"

Trisha grabbed her chest and sat down.

" Are you okay? What's wrong?"

" Heartburn, you wouldn't happen to have Tums by any chance?"

" No, but the Mighty Mart in town sells them."

" Didn't they make the Mighty Mart into a, "safe house", Trisha asked.

" Safe house?"

" Yeah, basically they are boarding up the windows and reinforcing the walls and doors and stuff. It's a last resort if the riots get too bad."

" Oh. Anyway, the Tums cost like, 2 dollars. Here's 5, so you can buy 2 bottles."

" Thanks, you don't mind if I go get them right now, do you?"

" No, I know how bad your heartburn gets. Besides, we haven't had a customer since 10 o'clock."

" Thanks,"

Trisha gathered her things, got into her car, and drove away.

I hope the riots don't come here, Sara thought
