"Glenn, come out and plaaa-ayee." Zayla sang as she side-stepped down the aisles in search of the dark-haired man. "You can't hide from me, Glenn. I stalk skittish deer and rabbits on a regular basis, I'm too sneaky for my own good."
She stopped to listen for any movement, but she didn't hear anything and the next two aisles were empty as well. She was at the front of the store now and she looked behind the counter, but didn't see Glenn anywhere.
"I'm just creepin' up on ya', Glenn. I'm everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I know exactly where you are." She was lying about knowing Glenn's exact location, but she did know he was somewhere in the store as she paced up and down the fronts of the asiles in search of him. "Save yourself the heart attack and just come on out."
"I hate when you do that." He laughed as he came out with his hands up; his hiding spot had been an overturned shopping cart that was filled with sweaters and sandals.
Daryl had just finished clearing the second floor of Walkers and made his way to the Kidz World store where he last saw Zayla and Glenn, finding them laughing as they came out with a bag of toys.
"Y'all are supposed to be lookin' for supplies." He reminded.
"We were. Then we stumbled upon this toy store and were looking for anything Carl, Louis, Sophia and Eliza might like." Glenn answered and raised the bag, but Daryl didn't look impressed.
"Yeah, 'cause toys is the top priority." He grumbled as he walked to the only market within the small shopping building.
"You are such a grouch, Dixon." Zayla called out as they followed him and she pushed an empty cart into the store. Everything was still powered up and running, so they suspected the mall had backup generators somewhere in the basement.
Daryl stopped near the cash registers while Zayla and Glenn went straight to the canned goods aisle and loaded up on everything, then went to see if any of the meat was still safe to eat. They were lucky to have come across this mall and they could come back to it twice before it was picked clean of food. Daryl caught up with the pair and helped them raid the first aid section, then they stuffed everything from the cart into three duffle bags, each person carrying one out of the store. They took the escalators down and Glenn and Zayla were enjoying the Muzak as they descended to the first floor. When they got outside, it looked to be going on 3 in the afternoon and they loaded Daryl's truck with their haul before getting into the truck.
They were a 3-hour drive away from the Quarry and Daryl asked for the keys from Zayla, so he wanted to drive them back. They climbed in the truck and Glenn and Zayla were sharing the headphones of a pink and black Studebaker Retro as they added five more discs to their CD book. They had to stop about 2 hours into their drive to refuel and Glenn and Zayla decided to ride the remainder of the way back on the bed of the truck.
In order, Carl, Sophia, Luis and Eliza were watching Daryl park his truck, barely containing their excitement. They knew where the trio was going to look for supplies had a toy store inside and they were hoping for souvenirs. Shane and Jim came to help unload the bags of food, then Zayla and Glenn gave Lori and Carol a large bag of clothing before the pair was coming over to the children with a bag of their own, filled with dolls, action figures, rubber balls, dinosaurs and other playthings. Together, they all hugged and thanked Zayla and Glenn for the toys before running off with the bag to their tents to separate everything fairly among the four of them.
