Meanwhile, Roger arrived at the abandoned building. He goes into the room and finds the backpack in the hole in the wall. He opens it to investigating the clothes.
"This…is it?" he said to himself, looking into the bag.
Back at the apartment, Kayame had laid down on the bed, enjoying the comfort. She was slowly drifting to sleep when another knock came on the door. She got up, and slowly opened it, peeking outside. She opened it fully when she saw Roger.
"Oh thank goodness it's you," she said with relief as she let him in.
"Here," he said, handing her the backpack.
"Thank you," she answered. "You're landlord came by while you were away. He wants the rent for the month."
"Did he come in?"
"No."
"Okay…good," he said as he walked to the closet, opened it, pulled out a huge wad of cash, then closed it again. "I'll be right back."
"Alright," she said. "I'll wait here."
Roger left down the hallway and Kayame dug out her clothes and got dressed, then sat back on the bed to wait for his return. Suddenly, the noise of something falling came from the closet. She stood up again.
"Well…curiosity hasn't killed this cat yet," she said to herself as she went over to the closet. She opened it and stared in awe at the complete set of an incredible weapon arsenal. Made up of guns of all kinds, grenades, swords, and any weapon she knew existed.
"Impressed?" Roger asked, announcing he was back.
"Very…" she answered turning around. "Why do you have all this?"
"It's coming," he answered as he picked up the grenade that fell and put it back onto the shelf.
"What?"
"A disease. I was sent here because there is an apocalyptic disease coming. Anyone affected will turn into a 'zombie' as they're called."
"Really?"
"Yes. I was sent to save as many as possible from the virus and the creatures."
"Creatures?"
"Phoenix, dragon, gryphon. All sorts of demonic creatures that roam everything. If the virus doesn't kill them…the beasts will."
"How do you know it's coming?"
"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out," he smirked.
"How am I supposed to know? I don't know anything that goes on in the mortal world."
"Right…" he nodded smartly. "Because you're just a little stray kitty?"
"That's not my fault!" she replied, slightly hissing. Then sighed, "so…how long until it happens?"
"That's the problem with not listening to the full details of a mission," he sighed as he looked away blushing a little.
"So, for all you know…" she smirked. "It could be tomorrow?"
"Pretty much," he nodded. "That's why I didn't waste any time preparing."
"Well you're smart…I give you that. Naive…but smart."
"Naive? Who are you calling—?" he backs off and sighs. "I just want to save as many humans as possible."
"Why?" she snarled.
"Because, there are some who don't deserve this."
"Nobody I know," she growled. "Humans are selfish, manipulative creatures."
"But that doesn't mean their souls aren't pure," he answered. Then walks into the kitchen. "Are you hungry?"
"Yes. Very."
"Whatchya hungry for?" he asked as he opened the freezer, revealing a deer carcass.
"Where did you get THAT?" she asked, eyes wide.
"I hunt," he replied, smirking.
"Well yeah…but there are no deer around here."
"There's a forest on the south side of the town."
"Most of the forest is empty. The humans scared off most of the game. I'm lucky if I get a rabbit or a squirrel nowadays."
"Guess I'm a miracle worker," he smirked as he pulls a machete off the wall and cut into the freezer. "Now…steak or burger?"
