Girl vs The Undead

Chapter 12 The Truth

(Meanwhile with The Undead Kickers)

Jack was looking through the destroyed city with a pair of binoculars he had taken from the store he, Chris, and Rina went to. He looked around for any sign of Rina but had no luck spotting her, all he saw were more of the undead shambling around the place.

"Ugh! No sign of her! It's been hours! She'd said she'd be here, but when is the question!?" Jack asked as he worried about his friend.

"Hey Jack, are you alright?" Beth asked as she came onto the balcony with Jack.

"I don't know, I'm trying to look for Rina but I can't spot her!" Jack explained.

"Strange, you think she's alright?" Beth asked.

"I don't know if we live in a big city and there's a lot of people living here. From what I know when it comes to Zombie outbreaks with the games, shows and Movies I've played that ain't good." Jack explained.

"Hmm, well I know she'll be fine after all she's a tough girl so I know she'll be fine!" Beth explained as she walked up to Jack and gave him a hug.

"Hehe thanks Beth, but that doesn't mean she can take on a whole herd of zombies. I know she's smart enough to not fight them when she's clearly outnumbered but that won't be helpful if she's cornered." Jack explained.

"Yeah I know but she's not going to allow herself to die, from what I saw she's a fighter and very resourceful so she'll make it." Beth explained as she looked out onto what was left of San Francisco.

"Well I am grateful that she had us build defenses and ways out when we arrived, not to mention the Rain catcher as that'll help us out the most when the water stops running. If only we could get the goddamn TV on we can see the news and see how this whole epidemic is going." Jack explained, frustrated about the broken TV.

Beth just looked at him for another moment before she left the balcony leaving Jack to continue watching for Rina. She went back inside and saw Little Lucy was clutching onto her teddy bear tightly. Her face had worry written all over it and was rocking back and forth lightly as she held her bear. While Beth didn't understand many things and was often oblivious to many things but she knew something. She knew Lucy was worried sick about Rina, as she did see the two were very close with one another.

"Hey Lucy you alright?" Beth asked.

"No, I'm worried about Rina, I don't know if she's alive or not. I know she's tough but that doesn't change that she's out there all alone." Lucy explained.

"Hey don't worry I know she'll make it, hey why don't you read some of those fairytales you have? Will that cheer you up?" Beth suggested.

"That's a good idea, but I've already read them dozens of times, I want something else, but all we got are Rina's zombie novels and I don't want to read them." Lucy explained.

"Oh okay, well why don't you go find something to do, I'm sure there's something up here you can do to take your mind off of things." Beth said.

"Thanks Beth, you know you said that you're oblivious and forgetful because of your autism, but how are you able to suggest things I could do to feel better?" Lucy asked.

"I don't know, I might not be the best with communication or signals letting me know when someone isn't interested in what I'm saying, but that doesn't mean I have good ideas for others to feel better." Beth explained.

Lucy smiled at Beth, she then got up and got up to wander around and hopefully find something to do. Beth smiled and walked to the other bedroom where her virus siblings were. When she entered the room, her brother Michael, and Albert were on the bed, Luna was sitting on the floor with Boy in her lap, and Darcy was leaning against the wall.
