Part 4
As Rachel walked out of her room, she found the others all gathered in the café, round the table. It looked like a cosy scene from The Tribe. The only problem being the fact there was more people and they weren't in costume. She rubbed her tired eyes, thinking it was all a dream. Then the reality had hit her, once she focused in her surroundings. She was in the mall, she was with the cast, the virus has really happened, and Nick really did hug her. She smiled at Nick as she walked past him and pulled up a chair. Meryl was going on about food arrangements.
"There's nothing in the cupboards, nothing at all" she said, looking at everyone
Quietly Jason spoke up, "But I em…thought they had food in the cupboards"
"No, this is a set, not a real mall remember?" replied Victoria, a little harshly
"Alright" said Liz "We need to get some food in, have we got cooking equipment?"
"Yeah we have" replied Laura as she stepped out from the kitchen, as if by magic. "We've got saucepans, pots, ect"
From across the table, Jeni looked around at all the others. Purply didn't seem to be interested in the food issue, Jason just sat looking hungry and Danny James was biting his nails. Her eyes then scanned across to James, and strangely she found herself looking away quickly, and she found herself going red slightly.
"Ok, so we need a few people to go back to the studio to pick up some of the food supply, who's up for the job?" Asked Beth looking around at everyone
There was silence, as Beth gazed round at all the faces. No one seemed to want to do it.
Jeni
looked back at the group..."I'll do it, but I'm not going on
my own." She said not hiding the fear in her voice.
She
looked at the group and hoped James would speak up. He did, so did
Nick and Rachel.
"Rights! So you guys go to the studio and
get food. And we'll sort this place out..." Beth said.
"Yea
find out what else we need. And discuss what we are going to do in
the long run." Liz smiled.
Jeni pushed her chair back..."
Come on then..." She said as she picked up her coat and headed
for the stairs.
Rachel ran to catch up with her, "You ok?"
She asked, "So seem distracted."
"I'm
fine...just adjusting." Jeni smile back as James and Nick fell
in step behind them.
"Ok come on! We need to clean this
place and collect anything that maybe useful." Liz Said, she
didn't know what stuff would be useful but their had to be something.
Beth and Meryl headed off into the "sewers" set to
check out lighting and things. Caleb seemed drawn to Liz, and he
headed off to help her. Everyone was clearly breaking into groups...
But would the groups make Tribes?
