Summoned

Outing pt 2

"And here I thought the saying, girls and their clothes was only a meme..." I mumble as I look at the Humvee's trunk.

A whole corner of it, filled with clothes, right next to the gardening tools.

"We are aiming to stay up there long term right? We will need clothes." Saya responds flatly.

"Like a nightclub dress?" I ask as I tilt my head, grabbing a rather revealing-looking club dress.

"This thing seems too tight to even do anything in it..." I add as I raise it to look at it, the shiny silk fabric it was made of reflecting off my flashlight.

"Oh I can think at least 'one' thing it could be good for." Rika chuckles.

"Pervert." Saya mumbles.

"Says the one who picked it." Rika retorts.

"I, didn't pick it thinking of that." Saya glares back at Rika with a deep blush as she responds.

"Oh, I see the electronics store." Rika's voice then quickly changes to a more serious tone as she points ahead. Then turns off the car engine. Essentially cutting that conversation short.

"I don't see a lot of corpses. But the front seems wrecked, looters?" Rika adds as she tilts her head.

"Let's hope not. There aren't any other stores we can search nearby, not with how the roads are at least." Saya sighs.

"Well, one way to find out. As we said, engine off as we close in." I add as I let go of the clothes and turn to check my gun.

"I know, I know. The engine's already off" Rika nods as I slide into my seat.

And the car, after a few seconds, slides past the targeted shop, letting us check the insides as the Humvee kept going down the street.

"Damn, the insides look as wrecked." I mumble as keep looking through the window.

"I don't see a lot of corpses inside though." Saeko adds while leaning next to me.

"Didn't seem to be heavily looted though, saw a good amount of stuff scattered about too." I add as the car finally stops, and I slowly open the door.

"One way to find out if it has what we need then." Saeko adds as she readies herself.

"Remember, Gps. Don't trail off. We will go around the block and come back, be out by then." Saya adds as I start to exit the car.

"Right..." I mumble as I look around. Then turn to look at Saeko as she also exited the car.

"Ignore the corpse outside if you can." I add as she closes the door behind her.

"I know. No need to waste time out here." She responds with a nod.

And so, we quickly moved towards the electronics store, passing by a few corpses as the Humvee started up again.

Upon closing in, I put my back to the wall next to the wrecked display window. Then peek inside.

(I see a few of em corpses moving towards the exit. Probably because the Humvee's engine just restarted.)

I glance behind me toward Saeko and motion her to wait. She just nods back.

And soon after, a couple of the corpses walked out of the store and into the main street.

I then glance inside again.

(Ok, I still see a few. But fighting them will bring the corpses outside in the store again. We got to do this silently.)

I turn to Saeko, flip the safety on my gun, and let it fall on my side, then shake my head and make a silent motion, before turning to enter the store. After pulling my combat knife, and flicking the gun's safety back to semi-auto that is. Better safe than sorry after all.
