Rachael poked Adam in the back of his head.
"Wake up, were here!" Adam rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked forward. There was
an avenue in front of them with a small sign reading 'Lake Port wash'. Georgie then passed him some sunglasses. "I swiped you some from a boat shop a few miles back." Adam smiled and put them in his pocket. Georgie then got out of the van and said "Come on were gonna walk the rest of the way." Adam got out of the van and stared at the crystal clear lake in front of them. "Beautiful isn't it?" Asked Rachael. "Yeah" gasped Adam looking at the sun setting over the horizon.
"Come on the sinners are gonna be extinct by the time we down there!" Georgie joyfully said as he ran down the avenue. They all walked down the avenue to find a beautiful lake house at the water edge.
"It's fucking beautiful" exclaimed Georgie excitingly. They approached the door of the house. Georgie pulled a key out of a small pouch in his bag and unlocked it.
The house was breathtaking, it had beautiful architecture and expensive furniture throughout it. "Make yourself at home" shouted Georgie as he jumped onto the sofa.
That night they all acted like sinners didn't even exist. They all freshened up in one of the five bathrooms throughout the house and then ate fresh fish that Georgie's uncle left in the freezer along with three bottles of twenty year old scotch. Then went night came they all got to sleep in big rooms with a bathroom and a four poster bed inside them.

Adam opened one of his eyes and looked at the clock in his room it read 12am. He sat up and clutched his head. He was suffering from a bad hangover. He got out of bed and got dressed. He walked down the stairs only to be greeted by the sound of sizzling. Adam knew exactly what it was. He went into the kitchen only to find Georgie cooking bacon on a frying pan. "I thought that stuff was extinct!" Exclaimed Adam. "Me to!"

They then both ate breakfast but were soon interrupted by Rachael who ran into the kitchen holding onto a radio. "Where did you find that?" asked Georgie. "In the lounge but that's not important there's someone on the other end!" Georgie grabbed the walkie talkie attached to it and said "Hello, hello if there's anyone there please come to Port wash avenue immediately for shelter." A voice then came from the other end that responded "I'll be there in 20 minutes."
Georgie scoffed down the rest of his breakfast and ran upstairs without saying a word. Rachael looked at Adam's plate. "Are you still eating that?" She asked. Adam shook his head. "Good I'm starving!" She smiled and took the plate. "What were you doing in the lounge?" Asked Adam. Rachael took a 'Rubix Cube' out of her dressing gown pocket and replied, "Scavenging."
Adam stood up and laughed, "You realize that we live here now and it's not just a pit stop?" "Yeah but I might as well claim the good stuff mine!" Laughed Rachael. "Alright you have fun with that," Adam muttered as he walked out of the room.
Adam went up the stairs and started walking  through the empty hallway. He stopped outside Georgie's new room and looked in. Georgie was   standing still and staring at something but he wasn't moving. Adam walked in the door and looked over Georgie's shoulder. He was holding    a picture of himself and his parents.
Adam looked around the room and guessed that this was the room he usually stayed in when he went here.
A tear rolled down Georgie's cheek. "Why did that happen to you?"He whispered to himself. Adam took a tape out of his pocket and put it on the wardrobe in front of Georgie. "I found this in my room." Georgie looked at the tape and then took a firm grip of the picture and flung it against the wall. "Doesn't fucking matter,their dead anyway!" Fumed Georgie and with that he grabbed his shotgun from his bed and left the room.
Adam sighed and looked out the window only to find a blue butterfly sitting on the window ledge. "There not all dead." Adam whispered to himself.
Adam then heard Georgie calling him loudly . "Come on we have to be early to have the upper hand!" Adam ran out of the room and down the stairs. Rachael and Georgie were waiting by the door for him by the time he arrived. Georgie opened the door and they all left the house hoping to return with double their current population.
Georgie lead them down the avenue towards the cross roads that their potential allies could be waiting. "All right, everyone make sure their guns are loaded and their knives are sharp!" Warned Georgie.
They approached the crossroads and found that nobody was there.
Adam quickly scanned the area but saw nothing. Rachael lowered her gun and joked "It looks like we're all turning into sinn........ a loud deafening sound filled the air. Adam went light headed he then turned his head and saw Rachael lying motionless on the ground.
Adam's bottom lip quivered as he ran over to Rachael. "No,no STAY with me!"Adam screamed. A group of guys came sprinting out of the woods. Adam felt a shiver going down his spine. The man leading it had a scar on his cheek, a bandage around his waist and was wearing a purple beanie.
Georgie pulled his gun at the man's face. There was 2 guys, a women and her child behind the man. The man looked directly into Georgie's eyes and laughed, "Long time no see Georgie!"
