Cheryl's Request
In more than 12 hours, all of the survivors were set to be freed from the hell that Willamette had become. For Cheryl Jones, she had an idea of her own.
Cheryl Jones happened to be crossing through Willamette with a wealthy man named Wesley Davidson, but somehow, the car that the man had broken down. Things led to another, as Wesley and Cheryl found themselves finding refuge at the Willamette Parkview Mall when they realized that zombies started to swarm the area.
Besides, Cheryl thought it would be nice to check the stores to look for something nice.
Cheryl was left in the Entrance Plaza when Wesley went to park his car out in the lot. However, she waited a pretty long time until she tried to reach him through her cellphone. But there was no answer. She tried to call him so many times, but there was no answer. Was there no signal? Or did he just not pick up because of the likely chance of him meeting his end out there.
But somehow, she managed to survive a few days in the mall. Even in that really nice and expensive dress and in those shoes she wore. It was a miracle. But not for long, as at some point, she was abducted by the True Eye Cult, along with other people.
For some reason, the True Eye Cult had set up shop in Colby's Movieland. Cheryl was locked inside the warehouse area of one of the auditoriums, while four other people were tied up in the theater's seats.
When Frank West came to save her and the other four people, Michelle Feltz, Nathan Crabbe, Beth Shrake, and Ray Mathison, she felt like she owed Frank a lot. It also occurred to her that he was carrying a camera as well.
While she and her newfound friends discussed a lot of what had happened and what had led to them getting kidnapped, she realized that she wanted to repay her debt to Frank as soon as possible. She left the room where she and the rest of her group was and went through the janitor's room to approach Otis and Greg, who were standing by the ventilation duct.
Greg looked up and looked at the stunning blonde up and down. Otis, on the other hand, was rather calm in the matter.
"Excuse me, sir," Cheryl said to Otis. "Do you have any way of contacting Frank? I really need to talk to him."
Otis then reached his hand to his pants and got the transceiver and reached his hand out to hand it to her. "Here, you want to talk to him?"
"No, I don't mean like that," Cheryl said. "I mean I want to come here so I can talk to him up close and personal."
Otis leaned in a tad with a look on his that said, "Oh, I see now."
"Oh, okay, I'll get him to come up here in a bit," Otis said and then talked into the walkie-talkie. "Hey, Frank. This Cheryl girl says that she wants to talk to you about something. She's kind of cute, so if I were you, I'll listen to what the little lady's got to say."
Through the speaker, Frank said, "On my way."
Otis then put down his transceiver. "He'll be here soon."
Cheryl nodded her head and then went back to the room she was in. As she walked away, Otis and Greg tilted their heads a tad to get a look at her. Greg then shook his head to snap out of it. He couldn't get distracted in this situation.
It wasn't long until Frank had gotten back to the security room and went through the blue door where Cheryl was. Lots of people were in there, from Burt and Aaron, Pamela and Heather, Ronald, Bill, and also the rest of Cheryl's new friends.
Frank approached Cheryl. "Hey, I heard you had something to discuss with me."
Cheryl, who was talking with the twins at the time, turned around to face Frank.
"Well, I'm not sure 'discuss' is the right word. Let's be formal, Frank. I have a favor to ask you. It's really important and you're the only one I trust. I want you to take a picture, a picture of me."
Confused about this, Frank got his camera and said, "Sounds easy enough, but why?"
"What do you think of me, Frank?" Cheryl said. "I mean as a photographic subject."
"Uh, yeah, I…," Frank said. "You're…um…provocative."
"Things are looking grim," Cheryl said. "Who knows how this is all going to turn out? I don't want to die without leaving something behind. I cannot stand the idea of just disappearing. So…take my picture? I want you to take what's beautiful and put it inside your camera."
"I'd be happy to, as a photographer and a man," Frank said, even though he saw that this was an odd place and an odd time to do it. "Where do you want to do this?"
"Right here is fine," Cheryl said. "Come here."
Just then, Cheryl struck a sexy pose by putting her right hand behind her head and her left hand to her hip.
Without question, Frank looked through his camera and quickly took a couple of pictures. Just then, everyone, not just the twins, not just Burt and Aaron, but everyone in the room all looked in the direction of what was going on.
Cheryl then struck another sexy pose, with both of her hands behind the back of her head and then bent over a tad.
Pamela and Heather, who stood in the corner as this happened looked on with so much confusion. Pamela slowly tried to walk away, while Heather stood there.
"Heather," Pamela whispered to her sister. "What are you doing?!"
"Oh, come on, I want to get in the picture," Heather whispered back to her sister.
Pamela shook her head and gave her the "come here" hand gesture.
Meanwhile, Burt and Aaron watched and tilted their heads a bit to look at Cheryl doing more poses. Aaron started to sweat a bit, as did Burt.
"Man, this is hot," Aaron whispered right to Burt, who nodded his head and smirked and then slapped dap with his friend.
Bill and Ronald stood there and watched this unlikely event unfold. Nathan and Ray did the same thing.
Michelle and Beth looked on with confusion and mild disgust.
"What the hell is happening here?" Beth said. "Why on earth would she think that this would be a good time for a photo shoot?"
Michelle was more just confused and just scoffed at what was happening right in front of everyone. At that moment, some other people from other rooms even left and watched through the window.
"I don't know, but somehow a lot of others wanted to get a look," Michelle said.
Cheryl continued to pose and by this point, she finally got to the floor and did some more sexy poses.
"Closer," Cheryl said in a seductive tone. "I can feel your eyes on me."
She even got on all fours and acted like a dog or cat and gave off a seductive facial gesture. Frank squatted to get that shot.
Everyone in the room, as well as some others outside in the hallway, just continued to watch.
Heather looked on with a minor scowl on her face. Pamela looked over at her sister.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Pamela said.
"I'm just a little upset," Heather said. "I mean I'm pretty. Why can't he take pictures of me?"
Pamela shrugged at that comment.
Cheryl then stood up on her feet. "Alright, that's a wrap! Thanks. Take care of that picture, okay?"
"I will," Frank said. "If we all make it out, I can use this as part of my portfolio."
Frank then reached for his wallet. "If you ever want to model for me again, here's my card." He handed Cheryl his business card.
Without warning, Frank just approached the door.
"Excuse me, Frank?" But then Frank looked to his right and saw Heather approach him.
"Hi, I was just wondering if maybe one day you could take pictures of me as well," Heather said. "Maybe me and Pamela. What do you think?"
"Heather!" Pamela said as she stood behind her sister.
Frank then chuckled a bit. He still had his wallet in his hand and then handed Heather a business card as well.
"I wouldn't mind doing that, but let's wait until we all get out of here first," Frank said.
As Frank walked out the door, Heather yelled, "Thank you!"
Back in the room, everyone looked at Cheryl like they didn't expect that photo shoot to happen right then and there. It wasn't long until everyone got back to doing their own thing. Everyone who went to get a look of the photo shoot went back to their rooms.
Cheryl just stood back and wondered what the future held. After giving Frank an impromptu photo shoot, she felt that she would be great for his portfolio.
Author's note: I will note that this was something I had thought of doing. It wouldn't be the first time that I did something like this, as I included "Simone the Gunslinger" in my chapter about her. I even did something like this for "Survivor Stories."
Also, in my mind, I could just imagine everyone's reaction to the impromptu photo shoot that happen in the security room. In some playthroughs I've done, as well as watching Let's Plays, I noticed Pamela and Heather standing by as this went on. I could imagine Heather being jealous of this happening. With Pamela standing there, I could see her trying to get out of frame. The rest of the reactions are what I can imagine from them.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this. Peace out.
