Left 4 Dead: Gemini Strain.

Chapter XXXII: Through The Shadows, Through The Rain – Adam

"Where the hell are Latvia and Adam?" Russ asked harshly to them all. His face had shaped into pure agitation from the group disbandment that had happened. The others just looked at him with varying looks of pity or disinterest. "Why did I have to listen to that idiot and his ideas? Everything has to be his way."

"Then don't agree next time." Theo said matter-of-factly to Russ. They had taken refuge in what seemed to be a high end bistro shop. Theo took the time to get himself a drink which he casually sipped as he eyed everyone sitting down.

Russ fumed at Theo's comment and opted to take a seat from his angry pacing back and forth. Even though he was sitting down he could not help but feel the need to move and so he shifted in his seat uncomfortably and began to fiddle with his assault rifle all the while muttering to himself about poor choices.

"I wonder if the two will be alright." Robert asked into the air. Russ was unsure as to whether or not answer the man's question but he did so anyway.

"They will, my luck rubs off on people." Russ commented.

Robert seemed horrified by this. "Russ are you saying they will die?"

"What? No!" Russ replied with his own amount of surprise. He was not entirely sure what Robert was implying but dismissed it as he always would.

For a moment the four of them sat in a silence that only made the weather outside much more serious in sound. It would not be too wise to wander the streets in this weather.

"So..." Russ began with a stretch in his soaked clothing, "Anyone know how far the university is from here?"

"No." Theo replied with a monotone coupled with a monosyllabic response. Theo voiced the other three's own take on the matter. Russ groaned with frustration again at the situation Adam had put everyone in. No map. No medical aid. The only thing reassuring was that at least his group right now had the most firepower.

The noise came suddenly enough and made everyone noticeably tense up. A horrid stringing of coughing came from the upstairs venue that made everyone look in that direction.

"Is someone here...?" Robert asked quietly to the group.

"Might as well check it out, everyone." Russ told them as he readied his firearm.
