Black Death (MiniCat)

Chapter 5- The Supply Run

Craig's/Mini's POV

"So how are we gonna do this?" I asked. We all exchanged glances. "I think we should start out in groups of two. Then we'll split up from our groups, but we can't separate from each other too far cause it's way too dangerous."  David suggested. "How far are we able to separate from our group?" Tyler asked. "I think three buildings maximum. Any father and I doubt we could hear each other if we need help."  Brock stated. We all nodded. "How are we gonna choose grou-" I began to ask but was cut off. "I'm call being with Brock!" Nogla yelled as he jumped in Brock's arms. "Da fuq you doin?!" Brock shouts, tossing Nogla. "Ouch! You dropped me on my arse!" David says as he lifts himself off the road. Me, Brock, and Tyler all laughed while David pouted. All of the sudden I heard a loud wheeze. I turned to see that it was Tyler. This made me laugh even more. I laughed so hard I fell which made Tyler wheeze again. Once we calmed down we all we separated. Me and Tyler are alone together once again. The thought of it makes me blush. We walked around a little until we found a decent looking apartment building. We walked towards it until Tyler stopped me. "I'll check the bottom floors while you check the top floors. That okay?" Tyler asked. "Yeah! That's fine." I nodded as I enter and ran up the stairs. So... There are ten levels on the building, each level having one hundred apartments. I'm checking the top five so I should start at apartment 600. I nodded to myself and enter the first apartment. It's pretty tidy considering what happened here. I opened a drawer and noticed make up. I opened the one below it and noticed jewelry. None of this is really that helpful anymore. I shrugged. I looked underneath the bed, nothing. The kitchen, a few water bottles and cans of food, but nothing more. It was the same for the past three levels. I got to the eighth level and looked in apartment 422. I looked in the closet and noticed a line of pictures from a photo booth. Two guys were goofing off in all of the photos except for the last one. They were kissing in the last one. "I wish I had a love like that..." I whispered to myself. I heard something move, but I didn't pay any attention. Other than that nothing seemed to have caught my eye. I looked around the apartment until I got to the bed. I looked underneath it and noticed something shuffle, but before I could look closer something grabbed my arms and pulle them behind my back. I shrieked in surprise as whoever it was yanked me back. He put my arms in one and and grabbed my mouth with the other. Someone with a blue jacket crawled from underneath the bed. It looks like one of the guys from the picture. "Thanks babe..." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I told you not to hide there!" The voice behind me replied. "Sorry." The man in the blue jacket murmured. My face was pale and my whole body was shaking. "Aww. Dammit Evan, you scared him." The man groaned. "He would've killed you!" 'Evan' shouted. "You don't know that! Didn't you hear him? He seems friendly!" The guy said. My face turned from white to red in an instant. The man behind me huffed. "Ugh! You know I can't argue with you Jonathan!" Evan said as he released me. I fell to my knees. I quickly grabbed my pistol and pointed it at both of them. They both gasped. "D-Don't m-move!" I stuttered. Evan rolled his eyes. "See! You did scare him! Look, we didn't mean to scare you... Please, put the gun down." Jonathan soothed. I sighed and hesitantly lowered my gun. I put it in my hoodie just in case they tried anything stupid. "I'm sorry..." I mumbled. Evan held his hand out. I slowly took it and shook his hand. Before I let go I heard the sound of footsteps running towards the apartment. The door slammed open and Evan pulled my arm and put a knife to my throat. "Just play along." Evan whispered loud enough for only me and Jonathan to hear. Tyler pulled his gun out and pointed at Evan and Jonathan. "Craig!" Tyler shouted. "Tyler?!  It's okay guys he's friendly." I said. "You sure?" Evan asked. "Yes he's sure ya dumb ass! They obviously know each other of course he's friendly!" Jonathan shouted. Evan sighed and let me go. As soon as he did Tyler ran up to me and hugged me. "You screamed and I didn't think I could get to you in time! You scared the shit outta me!" Tyler yelled, smacking me in the head. I rubbed where he hit me. "So... Are you two together?" Evan asked. Me and Tyler's faces heated up. "No!" We said in synch. "Are you sure cause you act like you are!" Jonathan teased. "N-No..." Tyler mumbled in what sounded like disappointment. Jonathan chuckled. "Okay... Whatever you want to think..." Jonathan said in a cocky voice. Evan put his arm around Jonathan causing him to chuckle again. "Your laugh is so cute." Evan said. I froze. Tyler said the same thing to me back at our base. I hung my head. I was in a daze. My mind was just running through the few moments I've had with Tyler. I love them all. Maybe. Just maybe. I might have a crush on him. The sound of someone snapping brought me back to reality. I realized that Jonathan had been snapping his fingers in front of my face. "Huh?!" I said unconsciously. "Dude, we said your name like five times." Jonathan stated. "Oh... Sorry..." I groaned. Jonathan thought for a moment and perked up as if he had an idea. "I know exactly how to make you feel better, but it'll take some time!" Jonathan said as he wrapped his arms around Evan. "Wait do you mean?" I asked. "You'll find out soon enough!" He chuckled.  "Well... Do you guys want to come with us to go meet up with our friends?" Tyler offered. "Sure! We have to tell our friend Brian first though. Can he come with us?" Evan asked. "Sure!" I said before Tyler could answer.  "Okay hold on a sec." Jonathan said as he pulled a walkie talkie from his pocket. Me and Tyler's eyes widened. "Where'd you get that?!" Me and Tyler shouted. "Brian... He's got like... Four or five more other than the ones we use." Evan stated. Me and Tyler both nodded as we tried to listen to Jonathan and Brian talk. "He's waiting outside for us." Jonathan said as he walked out the door. We ran down the stairs to be greeted by Brian. "So, these are the two low birds you were talking about?" He questions. "No!" Me and Tyler both yelled. Dammit Jonathan! Do we really act like that?! "Sure..." Brian said. I rolled my eyes and Tyler crossed his arms. We began walking to the meet up point.
