Chap.9: A safe place to be... For now!

"CRAP!" Kyle exclaimed.

" Shhh! Kyle, they'll hear you!" Matt whispered loudly.

" Well... Where do we go from here? We need food... Containment... Weapons..." Kyle stopped, then slowly turned around, to face Small Convenient store they landed in front of.

"Well, this is... Convenient..." Matt said, giggling.

Kyle and Derek starred at Matt.

" What! I thought the pun was needed!"

No. No, Matt. It wasn't..." Derek said shaking his head.

" Well let's get inside, and fix up your leg, Derek." Kyle said sighing.

They quickly ran inside the store and blocked the door with a few wooden shelves. Removing all of the food first of course!

" Matt! Cover the window, would ya! We don't want any Zombie's walking by, and seeing us!" Kyle ordered.

" Alrighty!" Matt said with fake enthusiasm.

Kyle walked Derek over to the counter, and helped Derek hop up onto the it.

" Now, wait there! Okay?" Kyle said walking into a custodian's closet.

" Uhhh, I don't think I have a choice, here Kyle!" Derek said sarcastically.

Meanwhile, Matt was standing over in the music section, browsing. But one caught his eye. It was Wednesday 13's new album. A Gothic Rock band, that is like, totally awesome. And Matt's face went white.

" Need... To... Listen..." Matt said drooling.

Matt peered over to the stereo, then to the album. Then to the stereo again. Then back to the album. He began to snicker.

Kyle peeked out of the closet and glared at Matt.

" Don't let ANY stupid thought of yours threaten our lives, this time! Okay!" Kyle whispered to him.

" Yeah, yeah yeah..." Matt said shooing him away.

" Whatever." Kyle said coming out with a broom in his hand.

" I know the stores dirty... But do you need to clean it RIGHT now?" Derek said smiling.

" No more smart ass remarks would be great. Because every one you say, feels like a punch to the face." Kyle said, breaking the broom stick in half over his knee.

Derek stared at the broken half of the broom, and it looked sharp.

" I know that whole, Hurt them somewhere else to take they're mind off of the worse wound. But I don't think stabbing me will help!" Derek said beginning to sweat.

" Yes, Derek. I'm going to STAB you!" Kyle said sarcastically making stabbing motions.

Kyle broke the sharp side off, on the counter, and sat it next to Derek. Then he looked around for a second until he came along some rope. He rushed back over to Derek, and tied the broom stick around the side of leg. Derek hopped down and lightly placed his injured leg on the ground.

" Let's find high ground." Matt added.

" Yeah, but is there any way to get on the roof, without going outside?" Derek asked.

Kyle looked around, and then turned to glance over the counter. There it was. A rope dangling from the roof. Kyle hopped over the counter and placed his hand around the rope and pulled it. The piece of wood swung down, and made contact with Kyle's head. There must have been some supplies on the small door when the owner was last up there. And the metal objects fell out, hitting the ground, and making a loud echoing noise. Kyle stood up quietly, and looked at Matt, who was looking at Derek, who was looking at the group of Zombies, WALKING TOWARDS THE STORE!

Stay tuned...
