By the time they got back to their safe place, it was already pass lunch time. They washed up and ate some food to fuel their hunger. Ocean was tending to Genesis's bruised knees while Lincoln was applying some antibiotic ointment for the scar on his arms, Lynx doing the same on his legs. After everyone was done, they sat in a circle on the ground and discussed about their journey tomorrow.

Genesis: The head of M.A.D just sent in the directions to the Tower of Rose and it's really far to be honest. Let's drive there.

Knox: (Stares at Genesis) No.

Lynx: I don't wanna die by car crash. (Says nervously)

Genesis: It's faster-

Knox: We'll die faster, remember what happened Gen.

Genesis: (Pauses for a moment) Oh yeah, no big deal really.

Knox: (Eyes widen) No big deal?! We nearly died-

Genesis: Not gonna lie, it was fun K. (Chuckles) 

Knox: (Gasped in disbelief)

Genesis: Just kidding, we won't use the car.

Sydney: We'll have to walk then.

Ocean: It's going to take a few days I assume?

Genesis: (Nods her head while passing over the tab)

Ocean: Gosh, it's real far. 

Lincoln: Does everyone know how to ride a bike?

Everyone looked at Lincoln questioningly but nodded their heads anyways.

Lincoln: Alright, that's good.

Emrys: What are you planning?

Lincoln: Well, I saw a shop that sells bikes. We could definitely use some speed for our journey, walking will take us ages and none of us can drive-

Genesis: I can-

Lincoln: Safely. (Looking at Genesis) 

Knox: Great idea. 

Lincoln: The best part is they sell the the best quality bikes.

Knox: That's great, now we need resources for the journey, in case we can't find shops on the way.

Lynx: More weapons?

Lara: Warmer clothes.

Genesis: We'll split into three teams then, one for weapon, one for clothes plus basic necessities and one for food

Lincoln: We will get the bikes tomorrow morning, it's unnecessary to bring them all the way up here. I'll get food with Emrys, is that okay?

Emrys: (Nods)

Sydney: Lara, Ocean, Crystal, Lynx and I could get us clothes and basic things we need on the road.

Genesis: Alright, please get us some backpacks.

Lara: Okay.

Knox: You guys can manage on your own right, the zombies I mean.

Lincoln: We should be okay, I'm familiar with the grocer and the way back already.

Genesis: Are you girls fine on your own?

Crystal: Hopefully? (chuckles softly)

Knox: Gen, you should go with them.

Genesis: (Stares at him for a while) Alright.

Lynx: I'll swap with Genesis then.

Knox: Lynx and I will get stronger weapons if we can find some.
