"When we find someone who is as weird as ourselves we find that we are compatible in weirdness, and then we appreciate each other's weirdness we find ourselves in what the world calls 'Love'." – Beau Dean, Myself.

We all stood around Takagi as she opened the MacBook Pro. She took the laptop out of its packaging and removed the bubble wrap acting as protection. She then placed the laptop in front of herself, and lifted the laptop screen up from its resting position. We all were watching, as she started the setup programing, which wasn't very long. After 5 mins she had the laptop up and running. After she was at the desktop screen, she turned to Hirano.

"I need the surveillance recordings." She stated.

Hirano just passed a CD in a see through case, with "Surveillance 104-6" written on the CD, not saying a word.

"You sure this is the one?" Takagi asked.

"Yeah, guarantee it. It taken me 30mins trying to open the CD drive without breaking it." Hirano replied, aggravated.

Takagi opened the laptops CD drive and placed the CD inside the slot and closed it. After 10 seconds, a Windows Media Player had opened and started playing the video surveillance. As soon as it started, Hirano took Alice into another room and played another game with her. We turned back to the video surveillance.

"Takagi, change the video speed to x125, it'll be easier that way." I said.

We all watched as it went from standard time to showing a day in a minute. After 10 minutes or so, I saw it.

"Stop, rewind and then play it at actual time." I demanded.

The screen had several security cameras' showing throughout the entire mall at the same time. There was one showing the staff checkout point to the staff car park on the western side. Another was showing the underground car park that was sealed off and about 4 others showing inside the mall.

"Now watch, the security checkout points for the staff car park." I said.

We all continued to watch, then within a few seconds, coming into the picture was one of 'them'. The infected person was a muscular built, type of person. The infected was walking towards the guard checkout points. We watched as closely as we could as we witnessed as one of the guards tried to say he can't enter, not knowing he would be dead soon. The infected person then attacked the guard and started eating him alive. Rei turned away from the screen and walked away to get some fresh air.

"You might be right, Takashi." Takagi said.

I didn't reply I just continued to watch as the guard, called the alarm. I witnessed as the mall went into a frenzy mode exiting towards where the attack was happening. Shocked the people ran towards the underground car park to flee and then the massacre happened. The people all too impatient and terrified to think rationally, everyone tried to exit at the same time, causing deaths and a massive car accident which had blocked the people inside the car park. It wasn't too long before 'them' were inside the car park. Then, the massacre happened.

"Pause it!" I yelled.

I saw as the screen paused.

"What is it?" Takagi and Saeko asked at the same time.

"Didn't you see it? Look the door was closed." I said.

I watched as Takagi rewinded the video to review the video. We all watched as it was true. As 'them' were inside the car park, someone was at the door and closed it reefing it shut.

"How did I not notice that?" Takagi asked herself.

"Takashi, look at the person carefully. Does it remind you of someone we meet earlier today?" Saeko asked.

I moved my head closer to the screen and witness as it was the "Apple Inc." worker. He was bitten by an infected and managed to close off the car park.

"That would explain it. He locked himself in the back room." I said.

I looked at Saeko and she just gave me a smile. I looked back at the screen and witness that Takagi had fast forwarded it till it went blank. Takagi turned back to us.

"There down there, however, there would be at least 120 of them, at least." Takagi said.

"Just means more fun." Saeko said excitedly.

"Hold on. Takagi, can't we just sneak in quietly and turn on the generator and sneak back out?" Miss Shizuka asked.

With that Takagi, Saeko and I just laughed. With our reaction, Miss Shizuka had just frowned.

"I don't think that's an option. Just alone the generator would make noise and 'them' might attack it or us. We need to take them out." Takagi explained.

"What about a recon mission?" Walking in, was Hirano.

"What is a recon mission?" I asked.

"Okay, I have an idea. On the Eastern side is the blocked car park exit. However, if I have someone make some noise and attract them to the Eastern side, I could enter into the car park, through the blocked door way. Sneak up the Western side and take out 'them' with my weapon with a silencer attached." Hirano said.

We all remained in our positions and thought about the idea. Could that work?

"What do you intend to use as the sound to attract 'them'?" Takagi said.

"This mall has a liquor store. Let's make some liquor bombs." Hirano suggested.

"That could work." I said.

"Okay, when do you want to do this then?" Takagi said.

"The sooner, the better. The longer we put it off, the longer we have no electricity." I stated.

Takagi turned to face the laptop and closed the screen. I thought about what we would need to do this. I am actually quite uncomfortable with this. What if something goes wrong?

"Well, let's explore a little in this store. I'm sure we are getting hungry, I know I am." Hirano said.

We called everyone back in. Rei and Alice looked like they were having fun. Playing some sort of game. When we were all ready and focused I decided what we were going to do.

"Okay, we are going to take action. We are going to have lunch. I pretty sure we could find something nice for lunch here." I said.

"Meanwhile, Saeko, Takashi and I are going to set up something, under no exceptions go near the car parks or outside." Hirano said.

It was going to be a long day. It has already been 2 days and we have killed one of 'them'. Tomorrow, we are planning to take out the underground car park and set up the back-up generator. We are going to live here and stay safe for as long as what we can. After all, it's not every day the end of the world happens. I took a moment, to look at everyone and appreciate the fact, that nothing will remain the same.
