The next morning everyone had gotten up once the timers went on again and all the lights in the store lit up along with soft jazz music.

Andre at first had shot up like a bullet and looked around, This woke Luda and a deep look of concern was washed over her pale face.

Kenneth also woke up but not as violent...He slowly sat up on the couch with his gun still beside him and coughed.

"A smokers cough." Ana thought once she opened her eyes and the pang of fear entered her heart again...this wasn't a dream and Luis was still dead.

But she just laid their was a minute and then sat up looking around, Luda looked over at her and shot a nice smile towards her.

Ana knew that Luda felt better their was another woman with them...she felt the same way.

She then looked over at her right and saw Michael standing up all ready and leaning against a hope chest and rubbing the back of his neck.

Ana smiled and then pushed the covers forward and the weight of her bladder made her bones chill a little...she never felt like she had to go this bad before.

She then looked around and saw Kenneth, Michael, Andre, and most Luda having the same feeling as she did.

"Did those Dick heads open the doors yet?" Andre asked looking around, seeing if any of the guards were walking the wall yet.

Ana then got up and ruffled her hair that was still in a messy ponytail and walked across the store looking for what seemed like a working bathroom.

But their wasn't any and she felt like she was about to burst...then her eye caught one of the younger guards walking towards the coffee bar alone.

Ana then went up to the door and yelled...

"Hey!"

The boy stopped and looked at her...he must have been no older then eighteen, she thought to herself...different then the others.

He slowly walked over.

"What?"

"The bath room in here isn't real...it doesn't work."

"I'll go tell CJ..."

He started to turn when Ana looked right at his face.

"I'm telling you."

Both of them looked at each other...uneasy and not sure about what to do.

But he took his key ring out and opened the door for her.

Ana brushed past him and within minuets he had disappeared someplace.

Ana and Luda both rushed into the rest room and used it. While they were washing their faces they talked a little.

Luda talked about how she's been living in the united states for the past five years...she worked at a bar downtown and that's where she met Andre.

Ana asked if she was feeling all right and Luda said she was just a little scared, Then Ana tried to cheer her up asking if she knew it was going to be a boy or a girl?

Luda's eyes lit up and she gave a small giggle saying how she wanted it to be a surprise.

Then both went their own ways...Ana found an Old Navy and changed into jeans and a T-shirt before leading back out.

When she did she saw that Andre and Kenneth were both leaving the men's room and Luda coming out of another store clean and dressed.

Andre joined her and kissed her on the cheek, both held hands and walked together in the empty strange new mall.

Michael came out of another store, dressed in a T-shirt very close to her own and jeans with his own belt.

The five of them all joined in a circle and looked each other over before they heard bullets being fired.

Panic rose in their faces as Kenneth pointed towards the stairwell.

"On the roof!"

He was off in a flash and Ana ran along with him with Michael.

Andre and Luda was tagging behind as best as they could.

The five of them flew up the long stairwell and then burst through the roof top door.

The bright sun made it harder to see as they saw CJ and the others looking down at something.

CJ turned and yelled...

"Who let you out? And who let you use the stores?"

Andre told them to shut the hell up as Ana looked down into the parking-lot which was filling with zombies.

It was a truck, plowing over zombies and the two people in the cab firing their hand guns.

"Oh my God...we have to help them!"

Ana said as her eyes tracked the truck pulling closer towards the docking doors.

"Hey forget that shit...what makes you think their not one of those things?"

Ana looked at CJ and rage entered her heart worse then ever.

"Well for one thing their driving a truck..."

She then heard the gun shots bellow them.

"And their shooting guns."

CJ augured with his smart ass friend Bert as they pointed the guns towards Ana and the others...telling them they wouldn't even think twice before killing them.

Terry...the younger of the guards, the one that let them out tried to make them stop but it wasn't working.

CJ then pointed the gun in her face again and Ana couldn't take it.

To much had happened for his "cop wanna be." to push her around.

"I SAID GET THE FUCKING GUN OUT OF MY FACE!" she screamed at the top of her lungs...but it didn't change the look on CJ's face.

"Oh...looks like we have a live one here Bert...got some mouth on her to."

Bert then looked Ana up and down and licked her lips.

"Yeah...somebody should show her how to use it."

That last comment was all it took, Ana glanced over at Michael and saw his calm face change in a snap by the last remark.

His first was thrown out and he punched Bert right in the face.

Their was a struggle but Andre, Michael and Terry got the guns away from them and pointed them towards CJ and Bert.

They were led downstairs by Kenneth and Terry.

Before going down Andre locked eyes with Michael and said...

"I hope you have a good plan."

Then left with Luda.

Ana then turned and locked eyes with Michael.

"He wouldn't let anything happen to me..."

She thought as she ran down the stairs with him.
