Hi, everyone! Yes, I am back and having my writing mojo back as well :) It's been way too long since I've written anything. I kept a journal with me and wrote out my days, but I even stopped doing that for some time. So finally I sat down, read some fanfiction for some inspiration, re-read my fanfictions because I forgot what was going on, and here I am updating. I'm sorry I've kept you all waiting for this story to be updated/finished! I don't remember the ending I had in mind for this story actually. I just know that I started typing and wanted to know where it went from there xD I never thought so many people would like this story. Thank you all for liking, following, and reviewing :)

Takeo pondered what to do about Richtofen as he stared into the slightly bloody sink.

His cheek was still sore from the slap he received earlier, but that was the least of his worries. Thankfully, there was running water. Try not to over think this, Masaki, he thought to himself. He splashed a puddle of water he made with his hands into his face as to clear away the bad thoughts. Viridian seemed neutral to all of this, but her episodes could make her a useful weapon for Richtofen. The others have no idea what is going on, and he won't be able to convince them easily.

He went over to the stage once he felt presentable. Takeo had his head held high and his back straight. Richtofen and Viridian weren't near each other. Richtofen was working on the elevator and muttering to himself while the others were in a triangle.

"Hey! There's Takeo!" Nikolai cheered. He raised up his vodka bottle to him and drank a few mouthfuls. They opened up the triangle and made it a square as Takeo sat down.

"Now, that we're all clean," Viridian started, "it smells even worse here."

"With a little spring cleaning it'll look fine," Tank joked.

Takeo shot a few glances at Viridian whenever he could. She didn't look at Richtofen at all, and she never mentioned him.

"We should play hide and seek!" Viridian said all of a sudden. It took the others by surprise. "Whoever gets caught first has to keep on patrol for a zombie attack all night!"

Everyone was tired to the bone. The thought of having to stay awake because of a child's game didn't seem to please any of them.

"That von't be necessary," Richtofen chimed in. "The teleporter is fixed. We should all sleep." He narrowed his eyes to Viridian. "If you want to stay awake all night and get eaten go ahead."

He walked back towards the teleporter and waited for everyone to get in. Viridians cheeks were flushed red with anger. She looked down to her ray gun. Just one blast and he's gone. Viridian smiled and dismissed the thought. She didn't want to stay awake all night because she'll get bored and be vulnerable if she runs out of ammo.

Tank tugged on the collar of his military jacket. "The tension sure is thick ain't it..."

Nikolai shrugged and got up. He helped Tank up and they went over to the teleporter with Viridian behind them. The last to get up was Takeo, who analyzed everyone. He gazed over to Richtofen.

The crazy doctor didn't return his stare, or seemed like he tried not to. He went inside the teleporter, and they landed inside the projector room. Immediately everyone claimed a corner to sleep into. Takeo claimed the middle of the room, and fell asleep on his side.

All but one were asleep.

Richtofen left the room.

I know this is a short chapter, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things! Enjoy this update, and expect more :) This story will be finished soon, maybe about five more chapters. Who knows for sure though x) I didn't want this one to be super long or anything like that. But, I will try to keep this under 15 chapters. Also, I like doing these short but informative chapters.
