This Is It

Chapter 7: Welcome home

I pulled up to the front of a pharmacy, I'm choosing not to go to a hospital since we just found Jenna and she's with us right now. It just simply would not work with a new member not knowing the procedures to go into a place like that that is crawling with the undead. Plus she isn't even close to geared up to go with us into an infested area, usually downtown in the suburbs there isn't a lot of the undead but there is a few. We hoped out of the car and everyone grabbed there weapons, then I saw Jenna with no weapon at all having a scared look upon her face. "Don't worry, stay close, stay quiet, and don't run away and you will be ok." I said. "Yea or you're gonna get eaten alive and scream bloody murder in the horrible pain." Paige said. "Stop she's going to be fine." I demanded. I walked up to the doors with the girls following, i turned and looked at Mary then nodded. Then a loud whistle came from Mary, and a few growls came from the back of the store. We waited till we saw four male zombies make their way towards us. "Got front." i said. "Got left." Paige said. "Got right." Mary stated. "Got back." Renee said. We all shot at once and the bodies fell to the ground. "There's no body wearing a clerk uniform so keep your eyes pealed for him or her." I stated examining the corpses. The girls walked away from me and the bodies but Jenna stood above me just watching my every move. I reached my hand into one of the corps's pants pockets and pulled out a wallet. "What are you doing?" asked Jenna as I opened the wallet. "They don't need the money, they're in peace now." I said. I saw a picture of a little boy with a soccer ball in his hands with and a beautiful smile spread across his face. I took out the picture and put it in the hands of the male corpse and closed his hand on it. I did this to all of the corps's but the rest of them seemed to have no family's which was a little relieving since I wouldn't of felt guilty to kill them. I put the wallets that had the ID in them and the money but left the other stuff in my bag. Paige was grabbing drinks out of the fridge, Mary was grabbing socks and random stuff, Syd was looking through some fashion magazines, Renee was searching through nail polishes, and i know i need to grab medicines, face wash, hair wash, and then i wanna grab makeup. "Just go grab whatever you need, this is why we come to these places and do this stuff." I said. "But you're stealing." Jenna said. "No one owns this place anymore, the cameras don't work, there are no more living police so it's not stealing. If you have a problem with the way we run then go try to survive out there in the shape you are in. Look at you, you're mentally unstable, unarmed, probably haven't ate for a while, no shelter, you will die in two hours out there on your own. But be my guest." I said. "Well god...you called me harsh." Paige said. "Just go grab your stuff." Renee said backing me up. "Syd go grab ibuprofen, melatonin, vitamins, and cold medicines. Mary go with her, Paige, Jenna and I are going to stalk up on drinks and foods that are still good to eat. Renee keep watch of any site of living or non-living things, you let us know if you see ANYTHING." I said. "Sounds good." Said Renee. "Be safe you guys." Mary said. "You guys too." Paige said.

We have put two twenty four packs of water in the bed of the truck along with, two bags of Lays potato chips, 24 different kinds of protein bars ranging from blueberry oatmeal, strawberry, chocolate chip, and peanut chocolate chips. Then we bagged up everything the girls and I wanted and put into the trunk along with the other stuff. I told Paige and Jenna to wait in the car as I went and told the girls that we need to leave. "Hey did you guys get everything?" I asked shouting. "Yea." Syd answered back. "Then come on we need to go." I said. "Ok." Mary answered.

The sunset shined down upon us as I drove us home, I can't wait to go home and rest. It's been a super stressful day, and I really just wanna take break.
