Insanity bolted down the street, Greed just behind him.
"Hey, slow down!" He called. Insanity paid no attention and darted into the nearest open door. "Blue Creek Apartment Complex," The sign read. The two sprinted up the stairs, stopping (finally) at the door to the second floor. Insanity leaned against the door, panting. Earlier, they had nearly been mauled to death by a horde of mannequins.
Insanity leaned against the door, panting. The door creaked and groaned, then gave away. He fell onto his back with a sort of strangled sound.
"You okay…?" Greed stepped into the doorway, holding out his hand.
"It smells like corpse in here…." Insanity got up, and looked around the room he'd fallen in. It was dark, save for the light from the hallway. Dust covered every surface. Right in the middle of the room was a box with chains and locks draped over it. Insanity stepped up to it and reached out for one of the locks. The rusted surface looked as if it could be snapped easily. He took the chains in his auto-mail hand, crushing the links to tiny pieces. The chains were removed, the locks broken. Insanity was just about to reach for the lid. Greed grabbed his arm.
"Wait….." Insanity shrugged him off.
"I wanna see what's in there…" He lifted the lid. Inside was a single key, a Lapis jewel embedded on the flat part. "Pretty…" He said sarcastically, pocketing the key.
"Wonder where it goes…."
Insanity stepped through the doorway back into the apartment hallway. "Maybe one of these doors?" He went to try one of the knobs, but stopped. "Shit! We don't have time for this crap; we have to find Katie and Trunks!" He whipped open the door to the exit.
The two ran back to the inn, only to see it was empty and trashed. No sign of life anywhere. Greed kicked in the door to the head office, no one.
"Where the hell is everyone?!" Insanity shrieked, dangerously close to losing it. Greed gave him a death glare.
"Snap out of it! We haven't checked everywhere yet!" He entered the street again, looking up and down the road. "The monsters are gone now….." Indeed the street was empty of any life. "I have a bad feeling….." He started down the road. When he got to the corner, he began to sprint to the elementary school. "Midwich School," the sign read. He banged through the doors as if he'd see his friends standing there in the middle of the lobby. No one. "Shit!" He hissed, kicking the wall. A faint shuffling caught his attention. He turned towards the sound. "Katie…? That you?" He stepped towards the source. The sound became louder, more intense. Greed stopped dead in his tracks. "Hello…?" A very tall figure shuffled out of the shadows, dragging an extremely heavy blade, almost as large as Insanity was tall. The creature was as tall as Greed; a white apron covered its body. The head was a large pyramid, covered in mesh, covered in bloody mesh. It swung it's sword in front of it, just barely missing its target. 'It's too heavy, can't swing it fast enough…' Greed could easily evade its attacks and get away. He dashed trough the nearest door, the infirmary. Only when he was on the other side did he realize he was alone. Insanity wasn't with him.
