a big bang

[2197 words]Quinn McAlester
present timeWALKING THROUGH THE DARK AND EERILY QUIET AISLES, QUINN WAS SLIGHTLY FREAKED OUT. Jumping at any mumble, thinking it to be a walker, she's had quite a fright.
"This place sucks." Quinn whispered, the echo in the room made even the smallest of sounds appear loud.
"Shh." Glenn ordered. More faint snarling was heard. "They're stuck behind something."
"How do you know?" Aiden asked worriedly.
"He doesn't." Quinn whispered called to the man. "But they aren't here."
"Alright." Glenn nodded in agreement with the girls words. "Hey, let's go."
"Eyes up, people. Eyes up." Quinn reminded the group.
Turning a corner, Noah and Glenn took the lead, Tara and Quinn directly behind them. A loud clang was heard to the right of Glenn and the man turned sharply. There, a group walkers snarled at the fresh meat, from behind a fence.
"That's practically a small herd." Quinn pointed out. There were a lot of walkers back there.
"Clear?" Glenn whispered.
"Clear." Aiden confirmed. "You know your stuff." He complemented.
"We were out there a long time." Tara reminded the panicked man.
"There could be more." Quinn stated. "Let's get to work." Tara turned her flashlight onto Eugene, who stood at the back.
"You're up."
Looking up and down at the many, many cardboard boxes was torture. Quinn was sure her eyes would pop out of her head before they found what they were looking for.
"We found them!" Tara whispered. Quinn sighed with relief.
"Alright Eugene." Glenn chuckled.
While Aiden and Nicolas were looking down another aisle, a walker in riot gear snuck up behind them. Aiden sent silent bullets and the thing, all of them ricocheting off of the gear.
Glenn and Quinn walked to the shelves that stood between them and the others.
"It's got armor. Let it come closer." Glenn instructed.
