Left 4 Romance

What now?

She gasped at the sight in front of her, the entire city was overrun, everything was gone.  All the hope that she had of her family being safe had just been destroyed and set on fire in an emotional vortex of despair. Nicky slumped to the floor and just let the tears silently fall down her face.

As this happened, the Boomer simply stood to the side, letting her cry and just figure out her thoughts by herself until they both heard a loud bang followed by coughing.

Nicky rubbed her eyes and stared at the door, " What was that?? ", she whispered to herself as the Boomer went up to the door and looked outside, he seemed to be talking to the other infected in low gurgles and growls. The other infected seemed agitated and tried to force the door open a couple of times, she immediately began to search for a way out when she saw a ventilation shaft just above a set of boxes.  When she started to climb them she heard the Boomer groan in protest but she didn't care, she just wanted to get away.

Just as she had gotten her legs into the vent, the door was forced open, sending the Boomer against the wall with a loud thud. She winced, half expecting him to blow up half hoping that it at least knocked him out, after all he is a zombie. She shrunk back farther into the vent but waited because she wanted to know if the other specials had learned to talk as well. Nicky was greeted with disappointment for the infected that had forced the door open marched in, held the Boomer off of the ground by his shirt and screamed in his face.

The Smoker looked like he was about to pop the Boomer but instead slammed the other's head against the wall and kept screeching and growling at him, like he was giving the Boomer a lecture, Nicky shook her head and continued her escape through the vents. Trying to avoid anymore interaction with the strange duo and hoping to never run into the third member of their aberrant party.
