Andy and his friends walked back into their lair, guns over their shoulders. Blood drenched across their bare skin. "We're back" they hollered out to the women sitting in the corner holding champagne glasses in hands.

"Hey Love" Andy snickered running his hand under her chin "I'm back"

"I can see that" she rolled her eyes looking down taking a drink of her wine, avoiding eye contact. He seen her passive aggressive shift, making him raise his eyebrow.

He grabbed her chin tight and pushed her head up forcing her to look into his eyes. "Don't treat me like that, Love" he growled "I can play meaner at this game of yours"

"Hannah...Hannah!" Blinking twice snapping out of her day dream Love and Nikolai stood in front of the #3 generator getting drenched from the pouring rain. "Earth to Hannah"

"Sorry" she sighed running her hand out of her hair "I got lost in my thoughts"

"Haha I saw that"

"Can you hear me? Please. You have to help me. I'm trapped here. I just wanna go home"

They turned on the generator by pushing a button, as soon as it happened a herd of angry zombies came running towards them with shining purple eyes. Roaring in hunger.

Love stood on the right side holding her KSG firing bullets in each one's head. Nikolai stood on the left using his axe to slice the zombies heads when they got near. Together they defended the generator very well.

They heard a sound of a bell once the generator charged, the bell turned to the sound of engines roar giving the area light. The Speed Cola machine lit up at the Thor walk away across the bridge.

"Let's go" Nikolai said once the zombies stopped coming grabbing her arm he took her over to the machine. He pushed a button that had a $3000 carved into it, making the machine push out the green glass bottle. "Here, take a drink" he handed her the bottle then getting himself one.

Nervous, she hesitated to take a drink. She never seen a soda like this before, seeing Nikolai drink his as if he drank it before she got the strength to drink hers. It tasted like old green apple soda, more stiff than sweet. Seeing her cough it up Nikolai laughed at her in amusement. "Doesn't taste good huh?" He cackled

"How do you drink that-"

"Endless bottles of vodka killed my taste buds, come now comrade we have more to do"

. . .

"You have to help me. Please. There is a way to open the gateway. My father was so close. He said... you have to follow the steps."

Richtofen and Takeo ran as quickly as they could to the center of the excavation site, where they seen pack-a-punch sitting calmly in center. "Let's hurry, Takeo!" Richtofen exclaimed running down the ramp into a hidden dig site. Dug in holes everywhere and late workers digging tools along as their skeletons lies all around the levels.

On the second level they found a dusty gramophone "this could work" Richtofen thought "vut does it still vork is the question" he turned his head "we need to find the others—vhere is Dempsey?" Takeo shrugged "zat fucking American"
