"How about we wait" I said.
Nate hopped off the hood of a car "no infected that I can see"
"What are we waiting for?" Ellie asked
"I just got a feeling" I said "I don't like it"
"Well we can't go back, so we at least have to find somewhere to stay the night"
"Let's keep it low profile" I said
We went around the car and walked in a line.
"How far is it to that hospital?"
"Uhh, I don't know where we are right now, hence why I need a map"
"And that's another thing to find"
"Maybe a police station, I bet they have maps" Nate said
"Guns too" Ellie said
"I can see apartments, we will set up and then head their" I said
We walked down the boulevard of broken things. The apartment sat in front of us, blocking the sun.
"It says go away" Nate said
"What?"
"The sign... go away"
"It's fine" Ellie said
She opened the front door and walked in. So abrupt and loud.
Me and Nate followed.
"Think anyone is here?" Nate asked
"Naw, not by the looks of it"
Ellie grabbed a couple pairs of keys and went up the stairs. We followed with our guards up.
"Another hotel" Nate said
"share a bed?" I asked
"Fine with me, as long as you don't get any ideas" he played
"Oh I've had plenty" I said. Not truthfully. Didn't even think of anything sexual with Nate.
He punched my arm playfully.
"Your lucky I like you" he smiled. We both laughed.
"Guys.." Ellie said. Not afraid or screaming for her life. But more like surprised
Me and Nate walked to her. No words found my lips.
It was the first room on the second floor. The numbers he been taken off the door. Me and Nate walked past the door and next to Ellie.
A family sat around the living room. The father was holding a colt .45. Everyone of his kids had a hole in their head.
"They ended it before it could kill them" I said. Some fear and sadness gripping me.
"We should bury them.." Ellie said
"No, their song a reason to" I said
Ellie walked past me, brushing my shoulder.
"I should talk to her"
