Brysen's Pov

"So, do you know if there's a mall anywhere around?" I asked Dante.

"I think so, I've been around here." he said.

He directed me towards a two story building. Their were infected just standing around and some moving away from the building. "Wanna make a move?" I asked him. He nodded his head And got his shot gun ready. We got out of my truck and started towards the front door. I noticed a brick over by this wall. I tapped Dante on shoulder to have him go get that brick.

Dante walked over to the brick and picked it up with his right hand. He threw the brick over to a distorted spot where it was a clear shot to the door. The infected ram towards the clear sound of the breaking object. Dante and I walked slightly and quickly to the double doors to the mall. The doors were baracated. We couldn't get through. "Dante help me with this." I whispered. We both used our strength to get into the building but only made more noise. I heard a infected get alarmed and looked in our general direction.

Dante and I walked away from the door and went around the building. There was another entrance to enter. By the time we got the the door, it was also blocked from the inside.

"What do we do now?" asked Dante.

"I don't know. Wait. This may be risky, but it's worth a try." I said. "There is a small vent?"

"What?" I looked at the door and back at him. "Wait are you saying I should crawl my way in there?"

"Yeah, I'm too big to fit through. And you have a good body texture." I said to Dante.

"Ugh, fine. Give me your hand gun." I got my pistol out of my buckle and handed it to him. "What's the plan once I get in?"

"Hmmm, good question." I said.

"What about I take down the barricade in the front? And let you in from there?" Dante suggested.

"Okay, that's good." Dante got down on his knees and went into the vent. "Nice ass by the way."

"Thanks I try." replied Dante.

Dante's Pov

I crawled my way through the vents and there was two path ways. On was leading upward and another was going left. I choose the left option. I had a feeling it would lead me somewhere. Then I seen a end to the vent. I scanned the room to see if their were any infected or anything else that could attack me. And I stayed quiet to see if I could hear anything. It was dead silent. I maneuvered myself to have my feet planted to the vent exit and then BAM! I kicked the vent door down. I got down from the vent and landed on a desk. I thought quickly and put the vent door back up to make it seem that no one came in.

I walked towards the door and went though it. Nothing so far in this mall. It was empty, nothing but closed shop doors and lights off. I walked around the place to scout it out just to check if their were any visitors. All I heard was infected outside.

I heading towards the entrance to let in Brysen. I removed boxes. There was a table blocking the door from opening. I removed it and signalled Brysen. He quickly moved into the building with me and we reblocked the door. "That was nifty." said Brysen.

"Yeah, no, Kidding." I replied. "Now let's go find some new clothes."

We went to the store that had like cool black leather jackets and grey sweat pants. I grabbed a jacket and put it over my shoulders. "What you think?"

"Stop tempting me. Haha"

"Haha," I laughed at him. "You know, you're pretty cool, I haven't smiled or laughed since this whole thing happened."
