American Downfall

The Reveal

Drake shoved a large log off of an empty porch, it had wedged itself on the railing and between two broken railings, to get to the door Drake maneuvered it so it would easily be able to slide off the porch, "You're hot." Kyler smirked looking at Drake who gave a small smile himself, "Last house." She gave a small pout knowing he wasn't going to budge for a second to give her a kiss that she's been begging for since they had left the bakery, "You sure you don't want me to help Bowe instead?" Drake gave her a look as she handed him his pack, "No blabbermouth, you stay here." "What's my payment?" Drake leaned in dangerously close, making Kyler's heart skip, "Nothing until I say what I want." Kyler just looked at him as the smirk found its way back to his lips, he pulled away and turned to the sliding doors, "It's getting late." Kyler nodded and followed him into the house where Bowe and Derek had already entered from the front.

Kyler looked around to see they had entered the dining room, "Pretty neat." She quietly said as she walked, seeing the dark wood was smooth, "Looks like some rich fucks." Drake casually replied as he made his way to the open kitchen. Kyler watched him for a moment before moving to a small filing cabinet. She pulled on the first three drawers, and they opened but number four was locked. "Do we know who this place used to belong to?" Kyler asked a bit loudly, "Why would we?" Drake was rummaging through the kitchen for food as Kyler pulled on the last drawer one more time to get it open but still nothing came, she looked around her, seeing a doorway that led to a small off, to the furthest corner away a desk sat, "Perfect." She scanned the top of the desk and to the top left corner of the desk right above the giant calendar, was a plastic container with colorful paper clips. Kyler grabbed the container and shoved it into her pack before walking back to the filing cabinet, "EW!" Drake shouted and ran down the stairs nearly missing a step, "What's going on?" Kyler looked back, shrugging her bag off as she crouched down to the lock, "Bowe and Derek." Kyler laughed and whistled, "GET IT BOWE!" "Shut up!" Bowe shouted from the top of the stairs as Derek laughed for the first time in a long time, "The look on his face!" Bowe walked into the area where they stood, her face red, "Dude, I never want to see you like that again." Drake groaned as Kyler got the drawer open, "What're you doing?" Bowe walked over to look down at her, "It was locked." Bowe frowned, "What hot and sexy?" Derek taunted Drake, "That's not fun." "There's fourteen of these folders." Kyler looked over the folders which all had the word Subject then a number, "Oh my God." Kyler quickly opened the folder that had stamped 'Subject 1' onto it, "What is it?" Kyler looked around quickly, "Did you guys find anything on who this house belongs to?" Bowe gave a small hesitation, "Didn't really have time..." Kyler pointed to the office, "Go see if you can find something in there that has the Doctor's name or something." Bowe nodded and jogged into the office as Kyler shoved the papers into her bag, "Why does this matter?" Derek questioned whether it meant something more to Kyler, "Kieko, Isabella, and I ended up in this factory office. Bella was going through the files for the fun of it but came across something that said Subject One had blue eyes and poisonous skin, and now there is a full paper filled file that has the words Subject One on it? I don't think it was an accident. I think whoever lived here did that to whoever or whatever it was in that facility." Derek looked at Drake, "It was just a file though, you can't expect it to survive through this." Kyler pulled her bag looking determined, "Whatever it is, it's poisonous meaning human contact is a big no no." "Relax, ok? I doubt we'll have to face whatever it is that's in that file." Drake spoke, getting slightly annoyed with the topic, "Dr. Kaleb Stein!" Bowe shouted as she ran back with a stack of business cards in her hand, "Only thing I could find with a name on it." "Weird." Drake looked to Kyler who took a card, "Was anything upstairs?" Drake looked to Bowe who shook her head, "No bodies, no blankets, pillows, the bathroom even looked like it had been cleaned out professionally." Kyler nodded, "Let's go." Drake's voice had flattened out to his original tone.

Sammy moved quickly behind the building as Kieko and Rose went inside. She needed to find something that was strong enough to hold the Rippers in place... She found a cement block along with a metal pike used to hold bird feeders on the ground, "Anything?" Andrew asked as Levi and Eren guided the Rippers toward Sammy, "Yeah." She handed the pike to Andrew who then lined up the chains and shoved the metal through them and into the ground to keep them steady, "Put this on it just in case." Andrew did what he was told and took the cement block from her. With the dead now tightly on an outside leash they made their way inside to find Isabella and Luna making their way up the flight of stairs in front of them, "How'd it go?" Sammy asked as she got to the top and stepped next to Isabella, "Us, great. Border... You're gonna want to sit for this one." Sammy gave a sigh and followed Isabella into the apartment.
