Later Hirano has a map and an extra binoculars. He was looking around
Hirano – looks like.. that way's a no go
Hirano put an X on the road he saw with a lot of zombies
Hirano – their numbers just keep increasing
Asami – um.. Kohta? What are you doing?
Asami then appeared
Hirano – um, well I'm trying to survey the area to see how everything is
Asami – wow, that's amazing. You're just a student but you're still much more through than Asa- I mean, this officer.
Hirano – but Ms Nakaoka, you showed that you yourself could be a pretty amazing police officer earlier
Asami – no, not at all. Asami doesn't know what would have happened if you weren't there Kohta! So um..
Hirano – ah, yes?
Asami gave Hirano a bright smile
Asami – thank you so much!
Hirano then blushed
Hirano – nah, it was nothing really
Asami – what are you talking about? This offi- Asami was really in trouble! So..
Asami gave Hirano a tight hug
Asami – really, thank you so much Kohta! You saved Asami, she's a police officer but she's totally useless!
0000000000
Minutes later Hirano already escaped Asami's death hug and they were sitting on the roof together
Asami – isn't it funny? So Asami promised her boyfriend that she'd become a great police officer
Hirano – ah, that's great
Asami – no it isn't, Asami didn't do so well at the police academy. So her boyfriend broke up with her and she's single now
Hirano – th-that's no good
Asami – ohh, you think so? It is, isn't it? Asami's the type who's really dedicated to her relationships
Asami purred at this sentence and Hirano sweated as he heard this
Hirano – sounds rough
Asami – yeah right? So, when you helped Asami earlier Kohta..
Asami moved closer to Hirano and he panicked and leaned back
Hiro – hey, officer!
Hiro arrived on the roof
Hiro – that granny's not doing so good! That sexy doctor lady is gonna take a look at her but she needs a blood transfusion!
Asami – blood transfusion? But..
Hiro – the clinic she used to go to is close by! The blood was being refrigerated so there's a good chance that its gone bad already!
0000000000
Later they decided to get some blood out of the clinic. Takashi, Hirano, Hiro, and Asami went there. Hirano has Rei's gun, Takashi has his shotgun, Hiro has a crafted spear, and Asami has her pistol Tetsuya gave to her and a wooden stick. Now the four of them are near the clinic
Takashi – there it is.. I used to get my check-ups there with I was a little kid
Hiro – you too?
Takashi – you mean you did too?
Hiro – I used to love reading their manga, the waiting room was just like a manga café
Asami – um, sorry to interrupt you, but Asa- I mean, this officer and you guys should stay focused
Hiro – it sure was sneaky of you guys hiding the guns like that
Hirano – then do you want to try this one out? They'll swarm us if they hear a shot though
Hiro – don't make me laugh! I'm a handgun man myself, you know what I'm saying? The only automatic I care about is the Glock 19. as far as revolvers go, its all about the Colt Detective with a hammer shroud
Takashi – maybe Asami is right, we should stay focused
The others agreed and they sneakily went to the clinic
0000000000
Earlier at the mall both groups were at the bed store where the old lady was laying on the bed
Shizuka – so the bone marrow disease makes her need regular blood transfusions? It must be R.A.
Old man – no, I don't know what that is
Shizuka – R.A. is just an abbreviation. A common complication of it is disruption of normal blood productions. It stand for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Old man – yes, that's it!
Old lady – I'm sorry to be such a bother.. if I get some rest I should feel a little better
Shizuka – you don't have to worry about a thing
Alice – Ms Shizuka!
Shizuka – oh Alice
Alice arrived with multiple emergency packs
Alice – h-here.. I know its bad to take things with out paying for them. But..
Shizuka patted her head
Shizuka – its okay, thank you
Shizuka turned to the old man
Shizuka – was it platelets or plasma that was transfused? What is her blood type?
Old man – I don't really know what kind it was.. her blood type is O
Shizuka – do you remember the colour of the bag that was used for the transfusion? Like if it was red or yellow?
Old man – it was yellow! Definitely yellow
Shizuka – if its R.A. and a yellow bag, its probably a P.C. transfusion. Its been a day since the power went out but the clinic is close by
Takashi whispered to Shizuka
Takashi – um, if its just the blood type that matters then mine should be fine
Takashi – all the blood.. doing a blood transfusion like that is dangerous. Besides her blood is type O so the type doesn't even matter
Takashi – but what about the blood transfusion? The type needs to be O just like her
Hirano – but Ms. Shizuka's talking about plasma. Plasma works the other way around. That goes for red blood cells Komuro
Takashi – really? I didn't even know that
Tetsuya – military stuffs and now medical stuffs? Hirano why do you know all these?
Hirano – hehehe.. No use in asking that
Takagi – so what? What are we going to do about this?
Shizuka – they received blood at the clinic nearby. So.. we'll go get it
Takagi – one question, why us?
Everyone went silent
Shizuka – we.. we have to help anybody we can..!
Takashi – I hate to say it, but.. what will she do after this blood transfusion? She needs to get blood transfusion regularly, right?
Saeko – this is a special case, I believe
Rei – its horrible.. but its true
Alice – what is? Big brother, you're not going to help that grandma?
Takashi – I wish we could.. but its too much
Tears started appearing in Alice's eyes
Alice – then, if saving her is too much, why did you bother saving me? Aren't I a part of the group too?
Hirano – uh, well. A-Alice, this is a little different
Asami – this officer will go! Just tell her what she needs to get!
Hirano – but, Ms. Nakaoka its too risky!
Asami smiled
Asami – ignoring danger for the sake of the citizenry is a police officer's duty!
Tetsuya sighed
Tetsuya – bro, this is up to you. Its in your hands whether we help her or not
Takashi – me?
Tetsuya – you're the leader, its your decision
Takashi – but I didn't even want to be a leader
Tetsuya smiled
Tetsuya – just decide, don't worry though either choice you make I'll be on that side
Takashi lowered her head and raised it up with a slight confidence
Takashi – we help her!
Shizuka, Alice, and the old man brightened up
Old man – thank you! Thank you so much!
Takagi – is it really okay? Its going to be dangerous
Takashi – well, we cant just let her die
Tetsuya – our leader has decided. Its our duty to obey him. We help them!
The others then agreed
0000000000
Later Takashi, Asami, Hirano, and a guy named Tamaru Hiro went to the clinic to get medical stuff.
Back at the mall Tetsuya was looking around the electronic store to see if something was still working. Shizuka was tending the old lady. Rei, Saeko, and Takagi were with Alice. She has a small bicycle
Rei – are you alright? Are your legs long enough?
Alice – I'll be fine, dummy!
Saeko – remember to respect those older than yourself
Alice – sorry
Takagi – are you sure you wouldn't rather just right on the back of Kohta's bike?
Alice – I'm fine! Alright
Alice started pedalling
Alice – here I go!
Alice pedalled forward. The girls were amazed at this. Alice then went into a wheelie to the front and then to the back. She was heading to the stairs
Rei – look out!
To their surprise Alice used the back wheel and jumped on each stair steps
Rei – oh my
Saeko – very well done indeed
Takagi thoughts – I wonder if she'll let me ride on the back
0000000000
Later Takashi, Hirano, and Asami returned at the mall and they were seating at one of the tables in the food court. They already gave Shizuka the plasma. But there was one person that was missing, Hiro
Hirano – we need to talk
Hirano – not like there's anything to talk about
Asami – Asami's so worn out and tired
Hirano – no, no! we need to think about things!
Takashi – why?
Hirano – what we need to do is go through and correct our answers on the test we just bombed. We on the same page here? We let a perfectly able person go to waste
Takashi – why? why? There was nothing we could have-
Hirano – it was a failure. We shouldn't have let you try to hold the entranceway on your own. Komuro, up until now we've been following what you've wanted exactly and there haven't been any problems. But mistakes were made at the clinic. We didn't need three people going throughout the clinic to get what we needed. Two would have been fine!
Takashi – two? That would mean me.. and Mr. Tamaru, or would-
Asami – nobody wants to talk about that now! Asami.. Asami shot him! ASAMI KILLED MR. TAMARU!
Hirano – that's why we do need to talk about it. We need to understand what made it come to that
0000000000
Back with the girls they were talking to each other. Alice was nearby playing with her bike
Rei – I guess even Hirano has a serious side to him.
Takagi – personality has nothing to do with that!
Rei – what are you talking about? Hirano and that police woman are getting close so they need to take things more seriously or-
Takagi – do you have any idea what happens to people when they're afraid? He's beginning to see how savage people have become. He.. also knows what its like to kill someone firsthand. The fear of death! Killing to stay alive! It doesn't matter how tough a person is. That's what causes P.T.S.D.
Rei – but we haven't killed..
Takagi – that was them! They weren't humans! Or so we've decided to think, we need to protect our sanity after all. I don't know who it was, but I'd like to thank whoever came up with the ideal of calling them, "them"! I think.. whoever came up with that realized that we'd have to keep fighting against these things that look like people
Rei remembered someone. His name was Hisashi Igou
Saeko – I certainly agree with you.. but is that all you were getting at?
Takagi – of course not, when I was with my dad and mom.. I finally accepted how everything had changed. I'm sure there's something or somebody for you two that helps you make all this pain bearable
Rei thought about Takashi while Saeko thought about Tetsuya. But unlike Rei, Saeko was thinking of that tender time she had with Tetsuya
Takagi – for Kohta, that's what that police woman and Takashi are doing
Rei – um. But what about Ms. Shizuka and Alice and even Tetsuya?
Saeko – Ms. Shizuka has many responsibilities. She's our driver, physician, and an adult. Those responsibilities are her escape. Tetsuya looks like he can keep it together, I don't know what happened to him but I'm sure he endured a lot since he's too calm in chaotic situations
Saeko softened her eyes. She knows what Tetsuya went through but pretended not to know to keep his secret
Rei – I'm glad he's on our side, he's really a big help
Takagi – plus, he has the responsibility to keep Takashi safe as the older brother. And as for that midget
Shizuka and Alice then arrived
Alice – what? Saya, who's the midget
Takagi – oh, that would be.. you obviously!
Takagi playfully pulled Alice's cheeks. Asami then arrived
Asami – oh!? You were all here? Come on in!
Asami led them inside
Rei – I'm worried though
Takagi – I know what you mean. Takashi, Kohta, and possibly Tetsuya may become dangerous themselves! If this keeps up, they might lose it and just snap
Saeko was reminded on how Tetsuya told her that he snapped and killed his friends in the warehouse. This made her worry a lot
Saeko thoughts – Tetsuya already snapped once, and its very possible that'll happen again..
Rei – what can we do?
Saeko – that's easy. We just have to do everything we can, as companions to them
Rei – wh-what do you mean by that!?
Saeko – all I mean I that I don't intend to forget that I'm of the female sex
Rei was nervous at this. She completely understood what Saeko was referring to.
Rei thoughts – we have to do everything we can to them? Is she referring we should do that!?
They then all sat down along with Takashi and Hirano
Asami – Asami will do everything she can too! At least until Ms. Matsushima gets back from headquarters to help us, Asami will stay here and do her best to work with everybody!
Tetsuya then arrived
Tetsuya – what's going on here?
Saeko – oh Tetsuya
Takashi – where'd you been bro?
Tetsuya – I was checking to see if any electronics are still working
Takashi – got any luck?
Tetsuya – zero. This really sucks, why would they even mess with the electronics in this kind of situation?
Takagi – the country that did it might've thought that other countries might take advantage of the outbreak and attack their nation. They had to prevent that
Tetsuya – the entire world is being affected by the outbreak, no country has enough time to start a war. Damn those guys, if I ever get my hands on them I'll throw them into a crowd of those corpses!
Asami – Kohta
Hirano – yes?
Asami – Asami's really feeling a lot better now. Asami remembers when she was in the police academy they used to always tell everyone to talk with a superior after coming back from a really bad crime scene. Because otherwise it'd just be too painful
Tears started appearing in her eyes
Asami – but Kohta, you're only a high school student, but even you seemed to know that already. Asami's a full police officer but she's so useless..
Hirano – n-no, come on, I just happen to know that! Nakaoka- I mean Asami you're really incredible!
Asami smiled
Asami – Kohta..
Asami then thought of something
Asami – Kohta.. are you going to leave?
Hirano – we need to find Komuro, Tetsuya, and Miyamoto's families
Asami – Kohta, could you just stay behind?
Hirano – um.. uh..
Asami – if-if you're worried about what Asami can do, she'll do anything and everything for you
Hirano was struck inside with this but he remained his calm
Hirano – I'm sorry.. I already have companions with me
Asami – I'm.. I'm sorry..
Asami started sobbing and everyone noticed this. But then Asami smiled
Asami – its okay.. Asami had a feeling you'd say something like that!
Zeke suddenly barked out the window
Alice – Zeke! What's up?
Alice went to the window
Alice – ah!
Hirano – Alice?
Alice – p-police lady.. over there..
Hirano looked outside
Hirano – don't tell me that's..
Asami looked out the window and turned pale
Asami – no.. n-no!
Asami's legs started to shake
Asami – what.. that cant- no! no! this cant be happening!
Out the window was a zombie dressed in a police uniform. Asami recognized this person
Asami – Ms. Matsushima! How!? Why!?
Tears started to flow down Asami's cheeks as she started to smash her arms on the glass window
Asami – she didn't make it to the police station.. she got killed after she left!
Everyone can only remain silent as this happened. They all frowned at this scene
Asami – nobody.. there's nobody.. NOBODY'S COMING TO HELP US!
The man who kept on yelling and the woman heard her scream
Asami – no.. it was all for nothing.. A- Asa- Asami cant..
Hirano – Asami!
Asami turned to Hirano with hollow eyes
Asami – Kohta.. Asa- Asami- no, I mean Asami- Asami-
Asami then snapped and ran off
Asami – NO! NO! AAAHHHH!
Hirano – Asami!
Takashi and the rest of his group cant do nothing on what happened. The man and the woman went to the other group and told everyone what happened
Hirano – Asami! Where are you going-
Asami – DON'T TRY TO ACT LIKE A GOOD PERSON ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU FOUR-EYED PIG!
Hirano – wh-
Asami – Asami.. just needs Asami.. SO ASAMI.. I DON'T NEED YOUR STINKING HELP!
Asami then ran off leaving Hirano behind. Hirano just stood there, shocked
Hirano – Asami..?
