Cindy POV
While we look for food I can see Jack is in thought. I wonder if it's about he said earlier. His parents had died before he went to university. That must have been very hard for him to deal with. No wonder he didn't wanna talk about them. Every time I asked about them in the past he avoided the question. He had to meet the university alone... Didn't have his parents at gatherings with him. It must have been terrible. Losing your parents isn't easy. And he doesn't want to lose me either. He's already lost people very important to him. That must be why he's so content on finding a cure. I'm that important to him. I feel so stupid for even asking him. If I turn I could just don't myself. How could I have been so selfish?! He doesn't want to do something like that. Of course he doesn't. "Jack..?", I call softly trying to get his attention. "Hhhmmm?", he mumbles in response. "I'm sorry...", I say. "What for?", he asks. "For asking you to... well to... kill me if I...", I start explaining but he interrupts me. "It's okay. I understand why you'd ask. You don't want to hurt anyone after turning. I get it. But I don't want to",he says. "I know. It was selfish of me to ask that. Of course you don't want to. You lost your parents and you don't want to lose me too. I'm sorry about your parents...", I say to him. "You weren't being selfish. You were thinking about the wellbeing of others. And thanks", he replies. "If I may, how did it happen..?", I ask. "My mom, she... she died from cancer. After her death my dad had a heart attack from the trauma of losing her",he replies still not looking at me. I walk towards him and hug him from behind. He turns around and hugs me back. "Let's go find some drugs to add to this food", I say licking his face. "Hey!", he says laughing, "wait... drugs? How did you know I was going to...?",he asks. "Jack, I know you a little more than you think I do also I live here so I'd know there's lots of drug stores on this side of town", I say sticking out my tongue.
Jack POV
We walk to the first drug store while I think about what we might need to grab. I don't really know what I actually need yet. But I have a theory that if I use a drug that activates violent behavior that might help with a cure. To explain it better. My theory is similar to reverse psychology. You tell someone to do one thing and they do the opposite. The theory is if I use a drug that activates violent behavior in the cure for Cindy then it would make her behave in a way that is the opposite of a violent zombie. Which means it would make her act human instead. No one has tested a theory like this but if there's even a possibility that it could work then there's hope. Of course I need more than just a drug like that. The drug would only influence the violent behavior. Other factors also need to be affected in order to stop her from turning fully. I'm not sure we'd even find the drug I need here. There's many types of drugs but I know which one I'll need. Its called Khat. According to research it makes a person act violent. But since this is a normal drug store filled with meds. What are the changes that they dealt drugs in secret? Wouldn't they get arrested if they ever did something like that. Unless of course it was only known by people who do drugs. But I guess it couldn't hurt to look anyways, right?
