Summoned

No more hand-holding pt2

"After we've searched the surrounding area we'll return. So keep the path to this door secured, or we won't be able to get back inside" Takashi turns around to glance at the alleyway that was through the door he just mentioned.

"Yea...as we can't...use the front entrance anymore..." Rei adds up while looking behind me, towards the main room.

And...she wasn't wrong. After Saya's little...outburst...we barely managed to close the shutters before the store's front sidewalk became a corpse hangout.

"Well...we could draw them away as we leave." Kohta lifts the AR-10 in his arms slightly as he speaks.

"No, it's alright. That metal shutter should be more than enough to hold them back. Plus with Them there, we deter any unwanted visitors who actually 'know' how to get rid of the shutter...and...trying to draw them away, will just block off your own escape route." I respond as i shake my head.

"Yea...that's true...so, well, in that case, we're off...we will use the radios if need be" Takashi nods, turns around and motions the rest to follow him. Them being Saeko, Rei, Kohta and Asami.

"Ohh, and, see if you can barricade the alleyway where we parked the car, we'll handle the other side" Takashi turns around and points to my left before looking at me.

"Already on it" I nod, give Saeko one last glance and close the door, then head inside the store, where the rest of the group was at. In other words, Saya, Alice, and Shizuka.

"Hmm, seems they finally pipped down completely" I say in a low tone as i walk into the room and look at the corpses on the other side of the metal grill shutter.

"Yep...wonder if the rain made them lose interest...they don't seem to want to move though...but at least they also don't seem to be able hear us..." Shizuka, who was sitting on the counter, puts her finger under her chin and tilts her head as she keeps looking at the corpses.

"Rain is falling all around them...but the sound is probably not concentrated enough to make them move...add that they might also be drawn to each other's moaning..." Saya answers as she keeps leaning her back against a shelve, her arms folded under her chest and a slight frown on her face...

"So leaving them there is the best we can do?" Shizuka asks.

"They didn't manage to get through the shutter even when they tried...and going out to bait them, isn't without its own risks...seems unnecessary...for now at least" I respond as i turn to glance at my bag that was hanging on the side of the furthest row of shelves, the same row that Saya was leaning on.

"Ughh...if only that idiot Kohta had kept his stupid little mouth shut..." Saya keeps looking at the corpses as she groans.

"But...Saya...are condoms really that bad?" Alice, who was sitting on the counter, next to Shizuka...speaks up...and Saya ends up freezing as she locks her head to her...i mean...she even stopped blinking...

"Please don't shout..." I turn to look at Saya as i speak, she darts her head to me and narrows her eyes...but stays otherwise quiet.

"A...Alice, as Kohta mentioned...t...they're meant for...adults" Saya then turns to look at Alice again.

"...Yes...Kohta did tell me that...but, what are they used for?...You're a genius Saya...so you must know, right?" Alice, ever oblivious, asks again as she tilts her head and stares at Saya with big, round eyes...

(Holy crap, Alice throws some hardcore side jabs...and she doesn't even realize it)

"Ahh...well..uhh...i...uhh...well...I'm a genius...o...of course i...do know...but...you're too young...s...so I'm not telling you until you get older" Saya started glancing around the room as she spoke. Until she finally looked back at Alice, right before she finished her sentence.
