[[Is it bad if I had to look up what surrogate means?]] David watched as what he wanted happened. He couldn't see Kalila past Mizuki though. David didn't really care. At best this display of emotions reminded him of his wife.
Alex grinned, happy to see his dad didn't kill Mizuki. He was also happy, because Kalila's gloomy aura was now disapating, or at least that is how Alex felt.
David laughed when Mizuki spoke about the shopping. It wasn't what he said, but the way he said it. It reminded David of a few of Sarah's friends, a few of which were actually gay.
Alex laughed too, just like his dad, it reminded Alex of his mom's friends. They were fun to hang around, and Alex started to hope they were still alive.
David could take or leave his wife's friends. He was super paranoid about other men hanging around his wife... Even if they did like other men... Then David heard Mizuki say they all looked like crap. David held up his clothes and said, "See, he even got some for me."
Alex just kind of rolled his eyes at his dad. Do you have to have your input on everything? He thought, knowing his dad would probably answer yes...
David let his arm drop, the clothes still in his hand. Putting them under his arm, he looked at the top layer of clothes in the bag from where he was standing. Then he noticed a black skirt. David wouldn't have minded, except for the fact that it was partially see-through. Quickly, hoping Mizuki didn't notice, he grabbed it from the bag. Examining it, he realized it was lingerie, which, over the years, he had gained an extensive knowlage of. Holding it, and still looking at it, he asked, "Hey, Mizuki, who'd you get this for?" Holding it out, in case Mizuki wanted it back, he stood waiting for an answer.

[[sry!!!!]]
Eri smiled at Mizuki and laughed. She was glad he was back. Everyone was smiling now... So she was happy. "Glad you're okay Mizuki.." She said softly. She looked at the see-through clothing, knowing EXACTLY who it was for. She smiled, cocking a brow. "Hm...." She looked at Alex with a knowing look saying 'I-never-thought-he'd-do-something-so-obvious..!' She realized she looked directly at Alex's eyes and turned away, still smiling, but her face going red again. "A..Anyway.." She looked over to Nicholas. She smiled and looked back to Mizuki. He looked like his red skin was getting better, so she didn't comment on it. "You got stuff for Everyone..?" She didn't think he would get her anything. She didn't think he would answer, seeing as the last time she saw him he glared so darkly it sent shivers down her spine. She looked confused in a sense. 'How did he become human again...? He... he was infected... a...half-living threat....' She looked at Ada like 'I'm confused,' then walked up to them, putting her hand in Ada's[[the non-cut one]] Then looked at her cut hand. "Um.... David..?" She called softly, holding up her bandaged hand. "Um..."

((I'm sorry Funny_Man... (I personally think it's the sexual one or something to do with his real dad... who he hates). Oh... Gothic_kyo... You do that. I'll post after you for Nina...
Surrogate basically means a replacement for a time being... A substitute.
Haha... SilverWolf001...
Again, sorry you guys it takes me so long... I have schoolwork and work on Saturdays))
"Dude, you're such a beast!" Nicholas complimented aloud openly. He wasn't quite aware of his macho-ness at the moment, so open compliments were not threatened. "Every time we think you're dead you just come right back... Like weeds. But, you're a good weed." He said with a grin. Nicholas didn't notice, and neither did much of anyone, but Nikita cleared his throat and pinched the bridge of his nose.
When Mizuki eyed the gap between them, Kalila looked down at it too. Okay... I dub this officially real. she thought happily as Mizuki closed the gap with one big step. As he hugged her, Kalila responded to his words with a laugh and rubbing her eyes dry. "I'm not a sissy..." She mumbled half-heartedly and she squeezed his torso enough for full-body contact, but loose enough not to hurt him. What she had said was a straight up lie, at least for these types of situation. She was brave until it came to this type of things or bugs. Being this close to Mizuki reminded her of the stitches that Garath had put in him yesterday. I hope that's healing all right... "Fine... Once we find confetti around this place we'll throw it all around you." Kalila said jokingly, with a blush, and the smile had never left her face. To hide her blush she buried her face in his chest.
"Yeah man, once we got this place secured we'll throw you a party. There'll be cake and presents... In fact it'll be so awesome all you have to do is pick them out yourself..." Nicholas said with a laugh. he saw Mizuki's eyes widen, but pretty much assumed it was for the party. However, when the aggressive expression was presented to him, Nicholas looked back at him innocently, looking over his shoulder to see if he was looking at something else. It was all for show though, D*mmit... I think he's got me figured out...
Kalila had been looking up at Mizuki the entire time he was speaking, as soon a he face had went to it's normal tint. She was taking in the angle of his face, making note of his expressions, and smiling at his personality being normal. He's so strong... Kalila gushed in her mind. As he loosened his grip, she rebelliously held on the basic same way, keeping one of her arms the same way, but letting go with he other so she could turn to look at everyone. Well, at least she figured it was rebellious. She thought he was silently telling her to get off him. Kalila's head was leaned against Mizuki's chest. She subconsciously listened to his heartbeat, unaware of it's being slower than a human's normal pace. She was so certain he was gone before, but to see he wasn't was the best thing that could happen. It made her want to be more protective, as she was for her brother. But, knowing he can hold his own and be a complete bad@$$ what right do I have to be defending him... It's like an insult. Kalila thought. If I can get away with the insult without him noticing... I'll just continue on my way. she thought stubbornly. Right now, she knew one thing for sure, She would defend four people to the death in their group: Nicholas as her beloved brother, Mizuki as her beloved and respected in general, Alex for being on of her best friends, and David for being the father. She would fight for Ada, Nikita, and Eri, but when it came to a choice between their lives, she would choose to save any of the four over them. It was harsh, but times were harsh.
Nicholas was fine with his sister’s hug. He knew she needed it badly, but he couldn't help but feel a pang of protectiveness. It didn't show though. He knew he had to sacrifice his feelings for the greater good, this thought made him mentally roll his eyes.
As Mizuki acted out a fashion-loving gay man, the siblings laughed. But, when Mizuki fluttered his eyes at him, Nicholas immediately stopped. He had a serious expression on his face as if he was offended. He glared at Mizuki for a few moments.
"O-M-G!" Nicholas erupted in an equally gay voice, playing along. He wasn't able to hold the serious expression, because he had started struggling to hold back his smile. "That is so fabulous! Thank you." He finished, wrinkling his nose in a very feminine manner. He noticed his sister do it when she gushed over adorable things or was extremely thankful. David put his input in a few moments later.
"Aw, thank you so much." Kalila said, having to hold herself back from wrinkling her nose the way her brother did. When he did that expression, it always felt like he was mocking her. So she used the other gushing expression.
As Nicholas continued to laugh and make other mock girlish gestures, Kalila noticed David wander over near Mizuki and grab something from the bag. She looked at him, still holding on to Mizuki and looking around his back, at David. Nicholas suddenly came to a halt in his joking and openly stared at David just as he snatched the item from Mizuki's bag.
"Good job." Nicholas said monotonously as he saw the see-through item. Hmmm... It's kind of pretty. Black, lacey... Kalila's style, I think. He did a good job. Nicholas thought innocently. He held no knowledge of lingerie. Unlike the boys his age who were obsessed with porn and hentai, Nicholas had pride and an older sister, so he never looked at such filth. However, he re-thought the situation when he heard and saw his sister's reaction.
"Oh wow! That's really cu- Oh my God!" Kalila started and cut herself off with a hand over her mouth. The skirt was adorable fashion-wise to her and it would have escaped her as "clean" if David didn't hold it in such a way to let light pass through it. Even then, her mind wouldn't have caught it if she hadn't seen everyone else’s reactions to the item. Her hand never left her mouth as her cheeks slowly turned a deep red. Her eyes were wide with surprise. "Lingerie?!" Kalila blurted out and let go of Mizuki to get a full view of him. A few seconds later started laughing. She was convinced it was a joke. Kalila thought her love for Mizuki was more on the one-sided and he saw her as a friend. Seeing her as a friend would make this a hilarious prank. "Ha ha! Pervert!" she said, jokingly shoving Mizuki on the arm. His joking attitude towards getting the clothing was enough to imply it was a part of the larger joke.
"Aww..." Nicholas said in jokingly disgusted way, but it brought his edginess up a little more. "Man... Hormone: control them." Nicholas said smirking and shaking his head. "Only when we're absolutely positive that the world needs repopulating can you 'make babies,' man." Nicholas said, using air quotes. This started a new bout of laughter for Kalila. It reminded her of all her perverted friends back in school, Jain and Nina was a couple of them. Nicholas took the opportunity of his sister letting go of the young man. He jumped with his arm out at Mizuki; it looked very similar to a clothesline in wrestling. As his arm made contact with the taller ones neck, he grappled it and bent forward. Hold his head in place he proceeded to rub his fist back and forth across the top of his clean head vigorously. "Ha, I'm not gonna lie: We missed you." He said with a big grin. Kalila was now laughing so hard her face was red and she could hardly breathe. She fell into a sit on to the floor and hit the ground with the underside of her fist.
Ada's eyes had immediately widened when she saw the frilly, naughty item. Her mouth was agape in surprise, but it also tried to hold back a smile. She had first suspected it to be for reasons that were more lustful until he heard the siblings' reactions. She knew they knew him better than she did and he just might be that kind of a joking guy. To her, it would fit the bill, he was joking a lot of the time with Nicholas she noticed.
Nikita, on the other hand, perked up at the word 'lingerie.' He took a good long look at the item and gave Mizuki a thumbs up sign. Nikita was the type of guy who was completely down with that kind of thing.
((Alright you guys... This post is done... I'll start a new one...

Alex tilted his head side-ways at the sight of the see-through skirt. Alex started questionening himself. Did he really get that for Kalila. He asked himself, still staring at it. Alex looked from Mizuki to the skirt and back. Then he looked at Eri, at the exact same moment she looked at him. They were standing side by side, so when they turned their heads they were staring each-other directly in the eyes. Alex got the meaning from the look on her face, but he still didn't beleive that Mizuki would do that. There had to be something else... either that or he had picked up the skirt by mistake. Looking into Eri's eyes, she turned away, which Alex had expected. She was probably still embaressed about blurting out what she had earlier. Alex understood, in fact he figured that she didn't really feel that way. In Alex's mind she was just flustered at the moment she had said that, and her mind had confused him for someone else. Alex knew that his friends really liked him, but he had never had a girlfriend, which is why his dad had taken to helping him. He just figured a girl would never trully like, or love him. He just figured he was un-likeable. He thought, what would a girl find attractive in, or about me... other then money. Alex, even though she was looking away, continued looking at Eri. From the time he had met her, he had had too much on his mind to pay any attention, but now that he was actually focusing on her, she was pretty. Maybe he was falling for her, but still, in his mind he thought that she didn't like him. He sighed and looked away, a twisting feeling in his gut.
David looked at Kalila, her face was priceless, until she started laughing. David stood there for a second as he realized it might be a joke... and mizuki had somehow tricked him into grabbing it... Highly unlikely but it could work. Alex, David, and Sarah were all rather gullable... Sarah being the one with the most common sence, but unless it really calls for it, she is a joking person like David. As Nicholas made the comment about hormones, David laughed... Then as the fits of laughter from Kalila didn't stop, David said, "You realize, it might not have been a joke?" David stood there waiting for Mizuki to explain why and how he was innocent, like David knew he would do. As Mizuki started explaining himself, David lost interest. There was nothing even remotely funny about a guy explaining his innocence. Then David's mind wandered back to Nicholas's "hormones" comment. As he looked around at Kalila hugging mizuki, and his son standing so near Eri and talking, hormones were indeed abundunt here. However David would not stress this, he liked the display of emotions... He didn't know why, but it made him happy to see young love... Again though, it reminded him of his wife. They met when she was rather young. He was 16 when they met... she was 12. (Don't say anything...) They were introduced by David's best friend at the time, Tyler. Sarah and David didn't start going out, until David was 20 and Sarah was 16. Shortly after they started going out however, Tyler died of AIDS... The only reason he didn't say anything about Kalila being 4 years younger then Mizuki is that he went through the same thing...
[[That bit about aids... is probably a forshadowing... sweatdrop ]] [[EDIT: I didn't know Eri could read minds... lol]]

[[okay, last post until Kagome-sama can post..!]]
Eri waited until he looked away to look at Alex again. "..." She smiled softly, wanting to hold his hand, but knowing it would be a VERY bad Idea.
'One: It's cut.
Two: I'm an infected
Three: I'm a girl, he's a boy, need I say anymore..?'
She sighed. 'But ignoring him isn't going to help anything...' "Alex... Um.." She whispered, toying with her silver hair. "I'm really embarrassed.... but..... what I said wasn't a lie...." She went a deep red, and looked down. "S..Sorry for ignoring you...." She said, looking up and smiling. "I know it's a bit much to ask for... but... um.... w-will you forgive me....?"

[[RAWR! I can't help it, I have to reply when someone specifically posts towards me...]] Alex looked back at Eri as she started to speak, "Yeah?" He asked, watching her play with her hair. He glanced over at his dad, who was still talking to Kalila and Mizuki. Alex looked back at Eri, her face was going a deep shade of red. Then he heard her say she was sorry, and if he would forgive her. Alex smiled, he looked her in the eyes. "Forgive you for what? If anything, I should ask you for an appology." Alex looked down. He was talking so that only Eri could hear him. "This whole time, I hadn't really even noticed you were here. Up untill when you had started talking to me when we came into wal-mart, I just figured you were dead-weight, you, Ada, and Nikita..." Alex looked back up at her. "If anything, I should ask you if you'll forgive me." He stood there waiting for her answer. Then he realized, her hand was still bleeding. Alex looked at her hand, then over to his dad. Apperently he hadn't heard her. "Here, I'll take care of your hand... Apperently dad is too absorbed in his conversation." Alex said, looking around for the pharmacy section. It was right down the aisle, visible from there current location. Alex started to walk towards it, looking back to make sure Eri was following. She wasn't. He grabbed the wrist of her cut hand, making sure not to get the blood on him. "Come on, I'm just as good as my dad... He just has a degree." Alex said, slightly tugging her.
David noticed out of the corner of his eye that Alex was taking Eri to the pharmacy, probably to look at her hand and foot. Just as David had wanted. David had heard Eri, he just ignored her, knowing his son would take the bait. David looked at his son, reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the medical tape. Even though they would probably have some in the pharmacy, it was better to use the already partly used roll first. David tossed it towards Alex, saying "Catch!"
Alex heard his dad's voice, turning around just in time to catch the roll of tape. He smiled at his dad, thinking You basta**! You didn't answer her on purpose! From the look on his dad's face, he could tell he was right. He didn't care that his dad tricked him into doing it, he just cared that his dad tricked him at all!

[[It's called feminine intuition XD and I'm sorry very much Kago-chan.... but....]]
Eri heard him say that he should ask for her forgiveness, and couldn't help but go red. "N..No... not really...." She smiled. When he began to walk off she stood there, tilting her head as if she didn't know what to do. She was about to ask when he grabbed her wrist and began pulling her towards the pharmacy. She nodded and walked next to him, noticing he hadn't let go of her arm. She didn't want to point it out.. but he could very easily get blood on himself. "A..Alex..." She said, pulling her arm lightly. "Um..." She smiled slightly embarrassed. "Do... you still need to hold my arm..?" She said, laughing lightly. She was surprised when he caught the tape right on time. "Wow...!" She said, smiling. She saw him smile at his dad, and her smile faded, thinking of her own father. "..." She looked towards the pharmacy, her hair hiding her face, that was about to cry. "..." She coughed to hide it, then wiped her eyes, turning back to Alex. "Even if it's a short distance, we shouldn't be separated from the group for too long... if not..." She smiled slightly worried. "We can't help the group.. and the group can't help us..." She used her non-injured hand to grab his arm, looking at him. "So.. do we need anything at the ph--" Before the sentance could be finished, her stomach growled. She went dark red. "--armacy..?" She looked down, trying not to laugh/cry at the same time. "I guess not eating for a couple hours can cause problems..." She ate a lot BEFORE she was infected, so now.....
She was REALLY friggen hungry..!

[[ I added a bit to my post after Kagome's... read it, it has some interesting info into David's reasoning.. Also, METZLI POST! I wanna see your reaction... Also(x 2), I'm going to my friends house, so don't be suprised if I don't post this weekend...]] Alex jerked back his hand, "Sorry." He said, slightly blushing himself... He hadn't realized he was still holding her hand. He heard her worries about being seperated from the group. "What don't think I can handle a lone infected or two?" He asked, holding his Smith & wesson handgun in between them. He had a self confindent smile on his face. She grabbed his arm, and he continued to smile at her. Alex heard her stomach growl, and smiled softly at her. He realized he was begining to get hungry himself. "I guess so." He said, answering her statement. "But actually we do need to split up at one point to fortify the store. So I think we might as well go to the pharmecy first, to take care of your foot, cause it will heal better with rubbing alchohol to keep it from getting infec..." Alex cut off, he didn't mean infected, like zombies, he meant just an ordinary infection... He looked a little sad, remembering that Eri was indeed infected. Trying to change the subject, he looked up at his dad, "Well, no better time to fortify the store then now... Dad!"
David looked back over at Alex, waiting to hear what he was going to say.
"You go check out the food, maybe make the whole group a meal... or two." He said, figuring that his dad probably wanted to anyway, and he also knew his dad was an excellent cook. Most of the time he cooked for Alex and Sarah.
David gave Alex a mock salute, "Aye aye captain!" David said, laughing slightly, he made sure Kalila was alright with splitting up... David was going to anyway, but he figured it better to have permission. Better to ask forgiveness than permission, but I'll make an exception this once. David thought to himself.

[My GAWD. Bare with me people T^T]
Mizuki stared at them all rather blankly. They were all giving him way too much credit. When he had first selected the skirt, he had done so because of it's lacey style. He'd originally picked Kalila out some trousers, thinking they might be more practical for running and climbing and the like. But thinking the black trousers too bland, he'd selected the skirt as decoration. Though he was aware he'd selected it from the lingerie section, he wasn't aware just how distasteful it was until David held it up to the light.
He felt his stomach knot in horror as Kalila turned round to see it. He didn't know what he had expected. But the reaction he got certainly wasn't it. Kalila seemed to take it all in good humour, and was even now laughing.He looked at David and cocked a brow.
Ah ha, so the stunt has backfired, Mr.Antagonist!
Mizuki cocked his head to the side and flicked his fringe out of his eyes with two fingers and shot a sly grin at David.
"Trust you to see the filth in everything!" He remarked casually.
He didn't miss the quick thumbs up from Nikita and found his grin grow that little bit more.
He watched David's face, hoping to see his smile falter even in the slightest to have the joke turned back on him, but even then Kalila shoved his arm. Not expecting it, he had no time to brace himself, and his forearm whipped across his front, catching his ribs where the stitches would be. Though he felt the stitches catch on the fabric of his new shirt ever so slightly, the pain he felt was weak. In fact, it wasn't so much a pain - as a discomfort. He couldn't stop a small and brief frown playing across his features.
Thinking about it, though it had truelly hurt for the first handful of hours after it was inflicted, the wound had been giving him very little trouble ever since. Surely it should have hurt a lot more than it did. They had been jumping, climbing and rolling around. It had been crazy. Throwing himself through that group of Crazie's - surely the friction of that should have crippled him with pain. He had been endlessly stretching and aggravating the wound - but he had simply not noticed it. He could only put that down to either the adrenaline in his system blocking out all sensations that would inhibit the biological 'fight or flight' response. Or he had, rather more simply, become accustomed to the pain so much that he didn't notice it.
But then his throat went dry. Was it something more sinister than that? Thinking back to all the Crazie's he had ever encountered . . . weren't the majority of them sporting horrific wounds that should have agonised them with pain? Missing eyes, shredded faces, missing limbs. But when had he ever seen one of them actually suffering from their wounds? They could feel fresh pain- he knew from seeing those two brawling before they reached here. But after that? What became of old pains? Mizuki resisted the urge to rip open his shirt and check the stitches. Fought the urge to reach up and prod his torn lip. What was he suddenly so afraid of?
He knew what he was afraid of.
Had he ever seen a Crazie with a scar? Had he ever seen an infected ambling along with a wound halfway into the healing process? No. . .
So what if they couldn't heal? Did that mean that he couldn't either? Did that mean that the flesh held together by those stitches what dead flesh? Mizuki suddenly felt very ill.
No His mind yelled forcefully. The reson their wounds aren't scabbed over if because they are always fighting. They probably don't give their wounds time to heal. That or they. . .die. . before they can. . .
Suddenly aware that he had fallen quiet, Mizuki forced a smile. He was actually suprised at how easily he could work his lips into a genuine smile as he forced laughter up his throat. Though felt hollow, it sounded cheerful.
"You're addressing the wrong guy!" He said, holding his hands to his chest as if miming hurt feelings. "That horrid man over there is the one trying to make me out to be a bad guy!"
He shook his head and ruffled Kalila's hair playfully. "Glad you like it."
Then, catching Nicholas' comment, Mizuki laughed genuinely this time.
"Relax! Before you go all procreation activist on me, check the bag. There's black jeans in there for her too!" He brushed off his own thigh as if to show the jeans off.
"Though they are frightfully similar to mine." The camp lisp had made it's reappearance, "I thought if she wore both then we wouldn't look like a matching pair! Can't have her leeching off my styyyyyyle!"
Then a flying arm came out of nowhere. Mizuki didn't even have time to cry out before suddenly the world was flipped so that he was now staring at the floor. Just as he was trying to adjust himself to this new perspective knuckles began to grate against his head. That was all the indication Mizuki needed to suddenly understand the situation. He laughed and grabbed Nicholas' forearm. However, he didn't attempt to fight him off. He was too concious about accidentally hurting him. Though Mizuki didn't want to admit it - waking up as he had done - and thinking that the blood all over him might have been one of theirs . . . it had really messed him up. He was more aware of his actions around them now. More self concious about hurting him. Instead he laughed hoarsely, his breath slightly restricted by the rough hold.
"You wait you little git! I'll get you back!" Then, hearing Nicholas speak, he found his grin slipping into a smile. A smile of affection rather than a cheesy grin.
"Pah! That goes without saying!" Mizuki said haughtily. Gripping the wrist of the arm that was wrapped around his neck, Mizuki closed his fingers around it gently. Bitting his lower lip and suddenly feeling very anxious, he proceeded to carefully peel the arm away from his neck. There was a little resistance of the hold to begin with. This worried Mizuki. Though he knew he could quite easily break that resistance, he was suddenly overwhelmed with a concern for hurting him at the same time. Instead, he pulled the arm free of him in stages, never pulling too hard. Nor did he pull it completely free. He was very aware that he could do so easily, but scared by that knowledge at the same time. Instead he pryed himself enough room to slip through and straightened up. He shot Nicholas an evil grin that warned of payback - but he didn't act on it.
Instead he became distracted by David and Alex's comments.
His expression suddenly became serious.
"The back wall in one of the storerooms has been knocked down. Some lorry crashed into it. Anyway - that storeroom is completely exposed to the street. I reckon that's how most of the infected have been getting in. I stuck some golf clubs through the handles. More as a makeshift lock than anything else. It won't hold if they are really determined to get it. But atleast it acts as a sign post so we know which door to seal first."
He smiled slightly.
Good God! He'd missed this part of acting Leader.
Catching Alex's comment about food, Mizuki genuinely paled.
"Ah."
He looked about the group, his hand resting against the back of his shotgun.
"Our most pressing problem being the mass infestation we have in the supermarket. And I mean mass. The place is chock full of Crazie's. We can act now - or we can act after we've sealed ourselves in. But every wasted moment is a little more food lost to those bastards."
He narrowed his eyes his chest heaving slightly and he took a deep breath, his mind busily wittling away at figuring out the best way to approach it.
"We go in blasting - we die. Simple as. They completely out number us. I suggest we do it on the sly. The vietcong used to sneak up and pick off those at the back of the group before retreating back to their tunnels. They laid boobytraps. I say we take their ideas and warp them to our situation. We'll hide in the isles and pick the ones of at the back of the group. The silencers should cover our tracks. And even if one or two crazie's do pick up on the fact that their being attacked - they won't see us. They come running, we retreat back into the isles. But it'd be best to try and keep them all in one place - that way we decrease the chances of being snuck up on."
He looked to Kalila now, his eyes widening as he remembered something.
"Didn't you say Nina was coming? Might be key to wait for backup. Plus, if we seal everything up now - how are they gunna get in?"

[[Is it just me, or is Mizuki against EVERYTHING David wants to do... It's like all he wants David to do is sit down and shut the hell up. lol]] Mizuki went quiet, probably deep in thought. David waited for him to come out of it, looking over at Kalila, his face read, "what's wrong?" David shrugged his shoulders when Mizuki blamed him. It's what I do David thought, grinning. Then Nicholas came out of nowhere, wrestling with Mizuki. David watched, noticing Mizuki was "pulling his punches" so to speak. After Alex spoke, Mizuki explained how the infected were getting in. "So it was you who put the golf-clubs against that door." David said. He had been wandering who it was, but he figured it was probably the last people who were here. Then Mizuki went into a tizzy, explaining the infected in this store, and ect. David let out a deep sigh. "Fine." He said, acting like a child being told they couldn't get a toy. He looked over at Alex, "Alex get back here..." He said, hating to make his son get back, after him and Eri had gotten along so well.
Alex looked at his dad, then looked at Eri. "You go back, I need to get something really fast." He said. Alex wasn't a lier, he said he was going to fix her hand and foot, and he was. Alex held his gun, turning towards the pharmacy. He ran towards it, staying low, staying quiet. If mizuki was right, he had deffinitaly underestimated the number of infected in the store. Turning the corner into the pharmacy, mizuki was right, just there, there were three infected eating... Something that had probably once been human. Pointing his gun towards them, he pondered whether he could take down all three. He figured, better safe then sorry. He kept his eye on them, reaching his left arm over towards the rubbing alchohol. He grabbed it, still looking at the infected. However from grabbing it, he knocked another bottle of something on the ground. CRAP! he thought, backing away. As it hit the ground, all three of the infected looked at him. Two of them just went back to eating the body. The other one however stood up, swaying a little bit. It lunged at him, he shot a bullet at it, but missed its head, hitting its left shoulder. Screeching, it launched its other arm at him, hitting his mask. With a loud THUMP Alex lauched slightly back. He pulled his arm up, and aimed for its head. Shooting it, its head exploded. Goop went everywhere, and covered one of his goggle lenses. Wiping it off, he started half walking, half running towards the rest of the group. When he got there, he took off his mask, and examined it. It now had a large dent in it, right below the right eye. "Mizuki was right... this place is crawling with infected." Alex said trying to catch his breath. Good news, I got..." Looking at his hand, "A bottle of painkillers and some rubbing alchohol." He said, smiling up at them. Now him and his dad weren't wearing their masks.

[[I know my posts suck, but bare with me..!]]
Eri looked at his pale face. "..." She was frozen. "Alex..." She smiled, her face even paler than humanly possible. She was terrified. "You weren't hurt right..?" She smiled in concern. "Well.." She said softly. "Let's get this done hm...?" She said, smiling softly. She sighed and used her clean hand to grab his. "And Since we got the confirmation that this place is crawling..." She wasn't looking at anyone, her hair hid her excited expression. "We'll have to get rid of them right...?" She sounded depressed, hiding her smile from view. She calmed down and looked up, her acting skills becoming useful as she pulled off a look of worry. "We can't have anyone else fighting off infection in this group, because if I turned, I'd be easy to take down.. but someone like Nicholas, Alex... anyone really, turning infected, they'd be difficult to defeat being young and all..." She realized she called herself old. "..." She looked at Alex, smiling kindly. "So... for my sake, and your own... please be very careful." She looked up. "All of you, I care about you all, so don't go getting hurt okay...?" She said, smiling. "Because as far as I'm concerned, All of you are like my family, and very precious..." She blinked. "Oh god I said something corny.." She laughed. "Well anyway, what do we do now, Mizuki..?" She said, smiling as if he absolutely HAD TO answer.

[[wah! I had a really good post, then my computer crapped out on me...]] Alex smiled at Eri, he was happy to see she was worried. As she grabbed his hand, he stared at her. As she started to talk about them killing her, he squeezed her hand, not hard enough to hurt her, but still pretty tight. It might be easy to kill her... but emotionally it won't... Alex thought. He looked down. "We won't have to kill you." Alex said, with a slight quiver in his voice. "My dad will find a cure... Right dad?" He asked, still looking down.
"Right..." David answered, unsure. He knew he was going to find a cure... he just didn't know if he could do it before she became FULLY infected. For that matter, what about Mizuki. David was positive that he had already turned infected.
Alex grabbed Eri's cut hand, gently so that he didn't hurt her. He held it, using his left hand to keep it still, usign his right hand to slowly unwrapping the bloodsoaked bandage. He looked at the cut, it hadn't healed very much, if at all. He looked up at her, picking up the rubbing alchohol. "This may sting a little bit..." He said, looking back down at the cut. He poured a little bit of rubbing alchohol into the cut, and waited as it bubbled. Pulling a rag out of his pocket, he rubbed it down. Repeating the steps a couple of times until all the blood and stuff was cleaned off. Putting down the rubbing alchohol, he grabbed the roll of medical tape, getting a peice, he started wrapping it around her hand. After wrapping it four or five times, untill it the cut was fully covered, he cut the tape by biting it. Sitting down, he looked up at her. "Now let me see your foot." He said, giving a gesture for her to sit next to him.
As David watched Alex take care of Eri's injuries, it reminded him of his own wife... then the missed call. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the phone. Turning down the volume he put the phone up to his ear. His eyes widened as the message went on. His heart began to beat rapidly and his face had a frantic look on it. The message was indeed from his wife, but it was horrible... He pulled the cell phone away from his ear, trying to figure out what he should do.

Eri felt bad when she heard his pained voice, and felt his strong grip. When he grabbed her hand she almost jerked it away, then she calmed, holding out her hand and blushing. "Okay..." She smiled and flinched when he put the rubbing alcohol on the injury. She watched him rap it silently, staring blankly. 'He...' She blushed. 'He's worried about me....' She smiled at the thought. "...foot." was all she heard. "Huh...?" She looked down at him, then nodded and sat down, getting the message. She held out her shoeless foot. "Do you think the cure will come in time..?" She said softly. She looked at David, then blinked. "Huh..?" She looked concerned. "What is it David....?"

Alex looked at her. He was now visibly sad, but trying to hide it. "Yes, of course!" Alex said, with another slight quiver in his voice. He looked at her foot. There were a few small peices here and there, and one slightly long peice stuck in, near the center. All of it he could get out with his fingers. He started taking each small peice out. Examining the largest peice, he thought he might of needed a pair of tweezers to get it out. He didn't, it came out slowly, but otherwise fine. Taking the rubbing alchohol, he did the same treatment to her foot as he did with her hand. Taking some more tape, he wrapped it around the middle of her foot. Making sure she still had proper feeling in it, he put his finger lightly on the tip of her big toe. Running it down lightly to the back of her foot. This would tell him if she could still feel. It would also tell him how ticklish she was based on her reaction.
David looked at Eri, then over at Kalila and Nicholas. He didn't really care what Mizuki, Nikita and Ada thought right now. David's face was visibly filled with dread. He looked like he was about to cry. To afraid to answer Eri for fear he might start balling if he opened his mouth, he just held out the phone, turning the volume all the way up.
It stated, "Message received at, [insert time and date here]. From, Sarah Marshal."
Alex looked up now.
"Honey!" Sarah stated happily in the message, "I left the lab, you're gonna be really interested in some of the things we found out!... I won't tell you right now though. I'll wait untill I see you at your moms... Ugh, I can't wait to take a shower, then take a nap. But first I'm gonna give Alex a big hug and a kiss!"
Alex smiled, wondering why his dad was sad.
"Ok, I'm coming up on your parents house now... What happened here... the door is wide open..." There was sounds of car door shutting, and foot-steps. "HELLO!" Sarah shouted in the message. There was a loud grunt. "Oh sh** infected." Sarah shouted, the sound of four or five of them in the background. "Get off!" She shouted again, loud thumps, probably from her punching. 'GET OFF! AHHH!" Sarah screamed, it wasn't a scared scream, more of an angry frustrated scream. David's eyes were now hid from view by his bangs. The phone spoke again, saying "End of message."
Alex's eyes were filled with the same dread his Dad's were. Alex's eyes were starting to get watery. Not only was his mom gone, he now KNEW she was gone... at least before he could have hoped. He put his face in his hands and started balling.
David was about to do the same. Turning around, and walking down the aisle, someone asked him where he was going, however he wasn't able to distinguish who it was, although he thought it to be Kalila. He turned his head around, water visible on his face. "I'm going to find my wife!" He said, a cracking in it. "I want to know myself whether she's dead or not..." He continued. Taking off running, he ran through the store as fast as his legs would let him. Running past everything. Once he got where they had dropped their things, he picked up his other uzie, and ran out into the parking lot. Jumping into the nearest car that looked like it could run, he was happy to see it was unlocked. Getting in however, he shortly found out there were no keys. Reaching under the dashboard, he pulled off the bottom panel, exposing the wires. Finding the two he wanted, he cut them, then tied them together. As he did so the engine started running. He pushed the pedal all the way down, and as the wheels screached excruciatingly loud, the car started flying out the parking lot, then onto the road towards his parents house... Where they had originally began.
