Everything was silent for a moment. The tinkling of a bell sounded from the front of the store. Most likely to alert that someone had entered. Footsteps echoed off of the tile floor. Harper crawled behind a bin filled with stuffed lions. She looked over it and saw a person, but whether or not they were a Bloody was questionable.
Sam pulled out what appeared to be a gun, which Harper had no idea where she got the time to find it. They watched the figure walk a bit closer and it limped a bit as it turned down a dark aisle, away from them. The employee jumped over the counter and ran for the door while screaming as loudly as possible, which was not a very smart thing to do in that very moment. Or really any moment from 6:24 that night and on.
A small gasp sounded out and there was a clinking a glass. Okay, the figure was a human and a female. Harper now knew that much. She stood up and pulled out her knife. Sam got up as well.
"Hello?" Harper said hesitantly.
A woman's face peered through the shelves and at Harper. She looked no older than twenty or so. Harper sheathed her knife and Sam put away the gun.
"D-Did you want something? Because I don't exactly feel like getting robbed again" the woman mumbled.
"Nah, we don't rob people. What are you here for?" Sam asked nonchalantly.
"I'm just getting some baby food"
"You have a baby?" Harper chimed in.
"I am taking care of a baby, but I'm not his mom"
Sam thought for a moment, then said "do you need help?".
The woman looked down and nodded. Harper remembered the limp she had and pulled her hoodie down, "What happened to your leg?"
"I twisted my ankle" the woman replied quietly.
Sam strolled off and returned with a cloth bag. She started putting the baby food into the bag while the woman watched.
"My name is Harper and my friend here is Sam" Harper mentioned.
"My name is Brooklyn, just call me Brook though" Brook said.
Sam finished filling the bag with all of the baby food and found there was still some space. She threw in a few packs of diapers and turned to Brook.
"Where is the baby?" Sam asked while she walked to the door.
"He is sleeping at my sister's house, which is a few blocks away" Brook said and limped after Sam.
Harper snagged a stuffed lion and followed them out of the baby supply store. She pulled her knife out and kept close to Sam.
