Third Person P.O.V
"Attention citizens. Attention citizens. There have been sightings of people exhibiting strange symptoms and attacking bystanders. Please block up your doors and windows and remain indoors. Help is on the way. I repeat. Please remain indoors. Help is on the way. This is Code Yellow Mascal." The people on the radio said as the group listened to Valens phone that was on the table. Neo and Mira on the couch besides Abel and Mana. "According to this PSA, the government is finally on the move. The real question now is how credible it is." Valens said as he took his phone from the table.

"Mana already said we can't trust the military." Wyn said as Valens turned to him. "And you just believe her without solid proof?" Valens asked as Mira leaned away from Neo. "Hey, new guy, if you have a problem with me then tell it to my face. If I say we can't trust the military, then we can't trust them. Do I look like I care about their little PSA?" Mana asked Valens with her arms crossed. "... He has a point though... We never tried to get in contact with them. How would we know?" A girl with tan skin and peach colored hair. "Okay? So are you just gonna do what they say and lock yourself inside until they come? Good luck with that." Mana told her as Mira turned to look at the lady.

"Besides, Miss. Your opinion doesn't matter at this point. Mana has been right so far so why don't you stand there and look pretty and listen to people like how you usually do, thanks it would be greatly appreciated." Mira told her with a glare as the woman started to fake cry. "I was just voicing my opinion... That's not how you talk to adults, brats." The lady said as the two males besides her tried to comfort her. "That's what I thought." Mira told her before she laid down on Neo's lap. "I normally don't trust wishy washy promises like that. I trust what I can see with my own two eyes. I'd rather take my chances travelling with Mr. Collins than waiting around." Tia told them as Mira agreed purring when Neo rubbed her head.

"You don't have to be so defensive. I'm just putting all the arguments on the table." Valens said as he glanced behind at Mira and Mana who ignored him. "What about you, Theo? Aren't you also in the military? What's your call?" Wyn asked glancing back at Theo who stared down silently. "Of course he's going. We all move as one unit, right?" Alix said in a know of all voice. "The announcement sounds fishy, so I'd rather take my chance as well." Axel said with his arms crossed.

"Yeah, I'll take my chances, too. Sitting around won't solve anything. Who knows how long I'd take them to get us? Do you know how many people likely need rescuing?" Theo said as he looked off to the side avoiding everyone's stare. "Even the officer...?" One of the males said looking at Theo. "But it's the government. We can trust them right?" Another one said as Mira whistled causing them to look at her. "Well that's a bit surprising." Mira said as Neo hit the back of her head causing her to whine in pain.

"Honey... I know what you're thinking but I think everyone has a point. We can't wait around for rescue. Supplies will run out and we can't possibly face those zombies on our own." Mrs. Barron said glancing back at her husband when she felt his hand on his shoulder. "But our child..." He said worriedly as she smiled at him. "He's been behaving! I'm sure I can handle the trip." she told him trying to ease his worries. "... If you say so." He said narrowing his eyes as his worries barely lessen.

"I thought a lot more people would decide to stay back." Noah said as he glanced back at them. "You sound awfully disappointed, Mr. Collins." Alix said as she giggled with Tia behind her. "You think too much. You guys can use the truck and my car. Let's get going. You kids go ahead into the RV." Noah said as he walked away from Alix. "Okay, Uncle!" Iva said happily as she dragged Mira behind her to the RV. "Can the little girl come with us?" Lena asked Noah as Mana stopped and turned to her. "You don't have to if you don't want to." Mana said as she twirled her hair. "Then don't come with us. Stay with your group. You'll be more annoying than you are now." Neo said as he held Hail in his hands.
