Chapter 3: Guns and ammos

Nika's POV

"Break the lock with your knife Nika." Patrish said hurriedly.

I held my knife tightly, and I didn't hesitate to stab the padlock of the metal cover of the gun store. We all lift the metal cover but not all the way up. Andrea broke the padlock of the door, Andrea crawled and got in first.

"It's clear!" She whispered at us.

Chaos is everywhere, people running for their lives, some are already getting chased by those zombies, and others were turning into one every second passes. Dead bodies laid on the mall floor with open stomachs and some zombies were stuffing their faces inside.

Ryza crawled and got in, while Patrish was crawling. I saw a bald guy, with a severe bite on his neck standing and looking at us. His face was covered with blood and it was rotting, some of his teeth was black and his clothes were ripped open. His eyes turned white and he started to bolt towards us.

"Patrish get in faster, someone's coming fast towards us!" I informed them which made Patrish to get in fast. Jillianne was next, just as she was about to crawl. I looked at the guy and he was getting closer and closer. 

"Go faster!" I shouted. After she got in swiftly, she held the door open for me.

I slide in then I got up and I slammed the metal cover and held it down just in time before the guy started to slam the metal cover. Ryza handed me a padlock which I used on the metal cover, after I locked it. The metal cover looked durable and it has circles in it, we can take a look outside if we peek in.

I sat on the floor, leaning on a shelf that was, just beside the door. Jillianne and I were breathing heavily, I patted her shoe to get her attention.

"What?" She breathe out. I smiled at her.

"Thank you for holding the door open for me," I smiled at her. "You saved me."

"That's what friends do." She reciprocated the smile. After the adrenaline died down, I stood up and looked around the store. It looks old but it decent enough, guns were hanging on the walls. Equipments were laying on top of a shelf, that's just behind the counter. Andrea secured all passage way and locked it. The guy didn't slam on the door anymore probably saw another human to eat.

"This is the coolest shop I have ever been in." Patrish said while holding a pistol and aiming it on a target board. 

"We need to grab guns, ammos and equipments we need but make sure you can move easily with the guns you're going to pick. Okay?" I asked. They all nodded and started doing there own thing.

I grab a long holder which you can put your first aid kit, ammo, flashlight, and gun. I wore it and grabbed a first aid kit and securely placed it on the holder. I grabbed a whatever I could find and placed it on the gun holder I was wearing.

I grabbed ammos and tossed it in my bag, I grabbed my knife and placed it at some point in my holder.

"I found keys laying on top of a shelf, we might need it so I'll hand it to you 'cause you're more responsible than me." She giggled and tossed me the key which I perfectly caught.

"Damn." I replied which made her laugh loudly.

I saw assault rifle laying down at the counter, I grabbed my bag and opened it half way, I grasped the gun and inserted ammos then slid it in my bag. Half of the gun was out in the open, but I don't really care about that. I grabbed multiple ammos for the gun and placed one in my holder then tossed the others in my bag.

I jumped over the counter and landed perfectly on the other side. I opened the drawers, all I saw was receipts and money. Money doesn't really matter anymore, does it? Humans are eating humans, sooo everything is free.

I saw a pack of bubblegum and mint, I checked if it was still safe to eat. The expiry date says it is safe to eat, I shrugged and popped open the bubblegum. I tossed 2 pieces of bubblegum in my mouth, and sat on the counter. I chewed on the bubblegum and made a bubble then it popped, which I chewed again.

"Do you guys want some gums and mints? I found some." I shouted while swinging my legs. I saw all of them walking towards me, I tossed Ryza the gums and the mints to Andrea.

I jumped off the counter and saw a door at the far left of the store. I grabbed the hand gun and aimed it in front of me with my finger holding the trigger and the other is holding the bottom part. I signaled Jillianne to kick the door open, she got in front whilst I was standing in the side. 

"On the count of three. Okay?" Jillianne said. I nodded and straightened my posture then stayed alert, still aiming gun on the door. I popped my bubblegum and chewed it.

"One." Jillianne whispered. Ryza and Patrish guarded my back, Ryza holding a revolver and Patrish holding a pistol. I heard a pop coming from Andrea, which resulted me to let out a giggle.

"Two." Andrea guarded every entrance of the store, holding her Magnum steadily.

"Three." She kicked the door open and I instantly got in, reminding myself that don't hesitate to shoot if there's a zombie inside.I sighed and slowly brought down my gun.

"There's no zombie, just water and some canned goods," I said. "Do any of you girls have any space on your bag 'cause mine is already full."

"I have! Here, I'll pack it up." Patrish offered. We all got out of the stock room, I think it's a stock room 'cause there were shelves. I sat on top of shelf, I leaned on earlier and crossed.

I know a thing or two about guns because my dad was in the military before he died in cardiac arrest. He taught all of us except for Andrea because she said she doesn't want to inflict violence.

My dad and my bestfriends really get along so well, he taught us about guns, and how to fire it. He also taught us how to fight in close combat. My mom well she didn't really last long after my dad died, she went crazy.

I sent her to a mental facility after a week they said that my mom was either too clever or stubborn. My mom would always escape, she would hold on to a guy nurse and say that it's her husband. The doctors said that the only cure was to kill her, which I got angry when they told me that.

But on the second thought, I thought that when they kill her she wouldn't suffer anymore. That's why I gave them the permission to do it, it was against my will to let them kill my mother but I was thinking of my mother. I never wanted it to end that way, I was thinking that if my dad didn't die then everything was fine.

"Hey check this out!" Patrish shouted. I ran inside, followed by the others. I saw Patrish crouching and she was pulling this box with chains around them.

"What do you think this is?" Patrish asked me while slightly pulling the chains. Jillianne squished in inside with Patrish and I, trying to look what's in here with us.

"Nika I gave you a set of keys right? Why don't you try each of them and see if it opens in one of them." Jillianne exclaimed. I pulled out the set of keys, and tried each one. After I inserted the 5th key, the lid suddenly popped a little but it still made us all flinch.

"Holy shit! That scared the hell out of me." Andrea said with her head peeking in, so is Ryza.

"Pat, why don't you open it?" I offered. She looked confused with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Why me?" She asked. I shooked my head and whispered.

"I'm scared," They laughed, and I pouted. "Hey don't act like you didn't flinch when it slightly popped open."

Patrish unwrapped the chains and slowly opened the lid. The things inside left us shock.

"What the hell." Was all I can say.
