I'm finally back, damn it took me ages to get this up huh?

4. A Town Gone Cuckoo.

"So what do we do then. S.O.S signal?", Darrell asked, watching as Harry disappeared from sight into the thick fog.

"How the hell should I know?", Cybil demanded, she fiddled with the lighter in her pocket, so that's where it was.

"Wanna check out the town then?", Darrell suggested.

"Yeah sure, whatever", Cybil agreed, "Give us something to do".

"What d'ya wanna do first then?", Darrell asked holding up a map.

"1. This isn't an amusement park and 2. Where the hell did you get that map?", Cybil asked.

"Found it", Darrell replied innocently. Cybil shrugged and looked at the map, it didn't look like an exciting town at all, she frowned, wondering for about the 10th time why Harry and his daughter would come to the town.

"Guess we can check out this", Cybil said, pointing at a small square on the map.

"Convenience store, wanna get some sweeties? There's only one shop for a town this big? Hell it's even gotta school but one bloody shop?", Darrell commented.

"Well I guess zombies don't have to eat or spend money or anything", Cybil replied. Darrell spun around in a circle, then stopped.

"Hah! Found it", she smirked, pointing at the wall behind them and grinning insanely.

"Um hate to burst your bubble but we can't walk through walls", Cybil commented.

"No stupid, we go over the wall", Darrell replied as she jumped up on the bench, she stopped briefly and flinched, her hand moving instinctually to clasp her stomach.

"Hey you alright?", Cybil asked softly.

"Yeah sure, just landed a bit awkwardly", Darrell replied as she pulled herself up to sit on the wall. Cybil looked at Darrell in concern before hopping up on the wall beside her. The garden below was cluttered with chairs, empty boxes, the back door to the convenience store....and a skinless dog.

"Yay a doggy kill it", Darrell grinned as the dog began to snarl at them viciously and patrol the ground beneath them.

"Hey do ya mind it's my turn to kill something", Cybil replied as she pulled out her handgun and checked it was loaded.

"You gonna shoot it?", Darrell asked, throwing a nearby twig at the dog, it bounced off it's head and the dog looked decidedly confused for a few seconds.

"No I'm gonna give it a biscuit what d'ya think?", Cybil replied, "And quit teasing it".

"Wow don't get stressed Cyb", Darrell said.

"I'm not fucking stressed", Cybil replied. The skinless dog jumped up up at the wall and came within 50 cm of Darrell's leg and its jaws snapped. Cybil pulled out her gun and shot the dog in the head, it's brains splattered across the wall.

"Shut up we're arguing here", Cybil said to the dead corpse.

"Urrrrg!!!! Yuck", Darrell grinned, "Doggy brains". Cybil shot her friend an incredulous look.

"You're a real chicken at heart aren't you?", she teased. Darrell smiled sheepishly.

"I have a problem with blown up brains alright??", she replied, "Anyhow the dog's dead can we go look in the shop now?". Cybil nodded and jumped down into the garden. Darrell noticeably hesitated. Cybil sighed and walked over to the wall.

"Jump and I'll catch you", she offered. Darrell recoiled and blushed. Cybil knew it was her recent injury that was causing Darrell's fear. Sighing again Cybil climbed back up over the wall to sit beside Darrell. She caught Darrell by surprise when she grabbed her and jumped.

"Don't do that!!", Darrell protested a few seconds after they landed. Cybil smirked at Darrell who looked more than slightly spooked, she reluctantly let go of Darrell.

"Grow up kid", she commented as she gave the garden a quick look over. Darrell muttered something before walking over to the door and trying the handle.

"Huh, that sucks, the door's locked", She commented, then she went over to the corpse of the mutated dog. Cybil looked at her in confusion.

"Help me pick this up", Darrell asked.

"I'm not touching a dead skinless freak", Cybil protested.

"We can use it to knock the door down", Darrell explained.

"Oh great first we blast the poor bastard's brains out, now we use him as a battering ram, can't you let it rest in peace", Cybil groaned. Cybil reluctantly picked up the dog's hind legs. Darrell took the dog's head and they threw it at the door which collapsed under the weight of the dog.

"Whoopie the door broke", Darrell grinned, her spook from free falling off the wall obviously forgotten. Cybil jumped over the dog looked around the room, it was some kind of storage room. She went to the door and pushed it, the other side felt as if it was blocked, probably by boxes. She glanced over her should, Darrell was searching the boxes.

"Hey I found a pocket light.......and 12 long lasting batteries", she commented. Cybil took the light and put two of the batteries in it. Darrell shoved the rest in her inner pocket. More searching uncovered 2 medikits, 5 health drinks, 150 handgun bullets and a backpack which Darrell unofficially claimed. Cybil threw the medical things into the backpack. Darrell suddenly started to move boxes, which were piled up in front of a wardrobe. Cybil started to help, a bad feeling creeping up inside her. Darrell grabbed the door handle and pulled it open. A dead body toppled out and landed on Darrell.

"Eeeehhh, I....I'm guessing the dog didn't like it's master", Darrell commented shakily, unsuccessfully trying to hide her fear from Cybil.

"This is getting really freaky", Cybil commented. She crouched down to investigate the body. Darrell suddenly felt light headed and she was pretty sure it wasn't because of the body.

"Hey Darrell, How's it in SH?", Cheter asked. Darrell rubbed her forehead before trying to fiddle with the transmission on her earpiece, who's stupid idea had it been to issue one to everyone on the police force, the signals gave her migraines, Cybil never had this trouble. Plus now was not a god time for her brother to start wise cracking

"Not too bad, nice weather, nice residents, can I talk to ya later, my head hurts? Plus the reception sucks", Darrell asked. She heard Cheter chuckle before her migraine started to subside, Cheter was gone. Darrell turned her attention back to the body on the floor, and Cybil.

Take it that was Cheter?", Cybil asked, "Any news back home?"

"Nope, who's the unlucky guy then"

"It's not the shop owner that's for sure, I think it's the mayor or someone like that", Cybil explained.

"Down with the governement", Darrell commented.

"Are you actually ever serious about anything? 'Cause your comments are starting to bug me", Cybil snapped. Darrell recoiled and looked slightly hurt.

"I'm sorry", she mumbled. Cybil sighed, she had to get rid of these mood swings. She was taking it out unnecessarily on Darrell.

"No kid forget it, I don't know what's wrong with me but if I yell at you ignore me", Cybil replied softly. A door on the other side of the blocked one slammed shut. Cybil peeked through a small hole knocked in the wall.

"It's Harry", she said, hoping to God Darrell didn't make another boyfriend comment

"Aw cool can we throw the dead body at him, please?", Darrell asked.

"I can't open the door idiot", Cybil replied without thinking, "And even if I could, no we couldn't throw the dead guy at him".

"Huh, not fair", Darrell muttered. Cybil punched Darrell gently on the arm.

"Waaaah! You hurt me. I cry now", Darrell whined.

"Go on then", Cybil said. Darrell picked up a chair and threw it at the wall. Through the gap in the wall Cybil saw Harry go grey in colour and and run from the convenience store as fast as he could.

"Darrell", Cybil growled.

"Yep I know, I'm evil", Darrell grinned, "Do you wanna go to the school?"

"Yeah alright", Cybil shrugged, "But I'm warning you I flunked Maths" They left the convenience store and climbed back up and over the wall.
