Marcel jolted awake and looked around seeing Luke looking out the window, he listened for a bit before Luke stepped down and turned to him ''Oh, morning.'' he said and went to the guitar putting back in the case, Marcel got up looking at him a bit confused ''Their spread out enough for us to run up the street to a different building that look's safe.'' he said and cocked the shotgun. Marcel took a deep breath and moved his hands down his thighs while pushing them into his thigs ''Ready?'' Luke asked grabbing the handle and Marcel gulped ''What if we can't outrun them?'' he asked looking at Luke who smiled ''We can, just stay along the wall and be quiet.'' he reassured and reached for Marcel's hand.

Marcel took another deep breath before taking his hand, his leg's made him feel lighter then air as they left the small safe room, they peeked around the building and Marcel saw the horde was spread out, Luke kept his hand locked with Marcel's as they rounded the corner, he looked up to the roof where the guy was and saw he wasn't there. They kept walking down the street till they got to a cross walk and Marcel knew they would have to run to get to the room Luke wanted to be in, Luke looked back at him feeling Marcel grip tighten ''You ok?'' Luke whisper was almost inaudible.

Luke then pulled Marcel's hand forcing Marcel to follow and they ran across passing by a zombie, the zombie obviously noticed them and reached for Marcel grabbing his wrist. Marcel's other hand slipped from Luke's, Luke spun around seeing Marcel pulling his wrist away but it wouldn't budge, Marcel pulled the pistol out and aimed it at the zombie but nothing happened when he pulled the trigger. Luke stepped back and pulled the shotgun up dropping the guitar for a moment and aimed at the zombie firing the shotgun right near Marcel's head. Marcel turned away as the zombie's head exploded. Marcel fell to the ground, all he could hear was ringing in his ears, Luke grabbed his shoulders grabbing the guitar case and pulled him into the building as more zombie's ran over to them. He tossed them both before slamming the door shut. 

He turned to Marcel seeing he was dazed a bit, Luke looked over to the couch then back at Marcel ''Get the couch.'' he said as he felt something hit the door hard, he saw that Marcel was stunned and slightly shaking, he leaned on the door and reached forward grabbing Marcel pulling him towards him, he held Marcel's face making him look at him ''Couch.'' he said and pointed, Marcel looked over then back at him snapping out of it a bit. He went over to the couch and pushed it towards Luke. Luke pressed his hands on the door as it was being pushed on more and more almost bending in on itself. Marcel pressed it against the door and Luke let go moving to where Marcel was and where he sat down, Luke sat down next to him and looked at his ears then at his face ''You ok?'' he asked and Marcel nodded hearing normally finally.

Luke sighed of relief that he didn't deafen Marcel, he then grabbed Marcels hands moving them around seeing that his right wrist, the one that was grabbed, was slightly red and shaking, Luke looked back at him seeing he was still in a state of shock. He cupped his chin making Marcel look at him and his eye's calmed ''You're ok.'' he reassured and it took Marcel a minute but then he slowly nodded breathing normally. Luke looked up at the door hearing it crack and looked around seeing a different room, he grabbed Marcel's hand's standing him up and grabbed his hand grabbing the guitar as well walking them over, he looked inside first seeing it was an empty garage.

He moved Marcel inside before shutting the door, he set the guitar down then grabbed Marcel's shoulder ''I need you to tell me you're ok.'' Marcel looked at him and gulped down nodded ''I'm fine, just...'' he paused, Luke nodded ''I get ok, I would be scared to if I got grabbed.'' he said and turned looking at the two vehicles in the garage. It looked to be a small repair shop attached to a bigger building from what he could see, he patted Marcel's shoulder then brought him over opening up a truck hoping the alarm was off, it was. He helped Marcel up and made him sit in the driver's seat ''This is our way out ok?'' Marcel nodded ''I'm not a kid.'' he said and Luke smiled ''I know.'' he said and pushed away, he grabbed the guitar and put it in the back seeing the wheels weren't on the truck, he rolled up his sleeves seeing he had work to do.
