Summoned

Closing shop

(3,2,1)

"Now." I whisper as I open the door, handgun raised. While in the meantime, a single gunshot echoed from the outside.

I look around the room as I stood by the door frame. A bed on the left corner of the room, ahead of me, a desk. And in the wall after the bed, wardrobe doors.

(Clear. Or?)

I walk up to the wardrobe door, and after a quick check under the bed, I bring my hand close to the wardrobe.

"Any itchy, tasty's in here?" I whisper as I knock on the door, then step sideways as I open it.

"Clear." I nod as I step back, looking at the almost empty wardrobe. Only a single kimono hanging inside.

"That's six bedrooms and one bathroom." I holster my gun as I walk back into the hallway, now being relatively bright as each and every door was left open.

Essentially, both hallways that had the doors towards the central storage room had bedrooms of the same size and layout, the layout being a double bed and a desk, along with a medium-sized wardrobe. The one door by the staircase that led downstairs had a larger-than-average room. And the last two doors by the staircase that led to the third floor. One was a bathroom, the other the bedroom I just checked.

Now out of all of them, three were empty. The big room and the room next to the bathroom along with the bathroom itself. And out of the other four, one had a single corpse stuck under the bed, the other three had no corpses, but dead people. One of which had bled all over the bed. So yea, Saya jinxed it.

Speaking of Saya. She, along with Rika and Saeko when to check the Dojo and warehouse as Rika said.

Now the warehouse, turned out to be locked. The dojo, well. It had a mini horde inside. Thankfully three people going ham in it was enough to clear it. Though the dojo probably looks like total shit now.

"The house is clear." I let out a small sigh as press the talk button on my radio.

"Looks clear on this side too." The radio responds.

"Alright, let's meet up on the first floor." I nod as I throw a last glance towards the window. The sky a deep orange.

"We won't be able to lock this place down today..." I whisper as I head to the staircase, then to the first floor.

Upon reaching the first floor I walk up to the table in the main room, the one that had the corpse under it. Then grab the corpse by the leg, and start to drag it towards the front porch of the house, walking down to the stone pathway that led towards the front gate, the humvee now parked under the gate's doorframe.

"We need to see if we can close the gate too." I wisper as I let go of the corpse. Then return to the house and sit on the table.

Not long after, the trio of Rika, Saya and Saeko appeared from the back porch of the house, the one that led to the garden.

"Ey there commando!" Rika raises her arms to wave at me as they all walked up to me.

"Any problems on your side?" I ask as I take off my helmet and lift my mask.

"Ehh, there are probably some stragglers left inside the dojo, don't think they'll be going anywhere. We closed the doors for good measure." Rika shrugs as she looks behind her.

"You two Ok?" I ask as I get up, glancing at Saya and Saeko.

"I'm fine..." Saya responds as she keeps staring at me. Saeko nodded slightly.

"Alright. Let's head back to the car. We need to figure out our next step." I motion with my head as I start walking towards the car, leaving my helmet on the table.
