We have no choice but to comply. I am so nervous. I can see Lily and Tobecca are too. The assailants come in front of us. Spencer comes running in but the one assailant trips him. Spencer falls and drops his gun. We are one hundred percent screwed. Spencer drops to his knees as well. " You have all been officially pranked" laughs the assailant who removes their mask. " Charlotte! How could you" exclaims Tobecca. Charlotte laughs and then offers Tobecca a hand to get up. " You are so lucky that we are friends" says Tobecca. Spencer, Lily and I get up. " Sorry about that. I have a wild sense of humour. Jim, you can remove your mask now" says Charlotte. Jim removes his mask. Jim has ginger hair, blue eyes and a mole on his check. " I don't like your sense of humour" says Spencer. Charlotte sighs. " Guess we got a sour puss here" laughs Charlotte. I am just glad that there was no real trouble to be angry. I think Lily feels the same. " Sorry about that. Anyway I am Charlotte. My brother there is Jim." " This is Andrew, Spencer and Lily" says Tobecca. " Nice to meet you all. What are you all doing here" asks Charlotte. " We came to visit you. Also you must have some info for us" asks Tobecca. " What type of info do you want" asks Charlotte. " What is the condition of Greyton like? Do you know of any new type of zombies" says Tobecca. " Greyton is quite populated with zombies but that is in the factory area. We are run by a woman named Riley. Don't worry, she is strict but kind at the same time. You guys will like her. This part of Greyton is mostly quiet although a zombie does come every now and then. We don't get in contact with outsiders. Well, unless you are part of Riley's security team. Riley handles trades with Pittsburgh, the next big city. If you want more answers, you will have to talk to her. I know of a water source if you want to refill your water supply. Think of it as an apology for my prank. We have two water containers to spare and yes, it is clean water" says Charlotte. Our water supply is running low. " Sounds like you are half forgiven" says Spencer. " I will take that" laughs Charlotte. I wish everyone had Charlotte's sense of humour during this time, myself included. I need to learn to brighten up. " Follow me guys" says Charlotte. We follow Charlotte to the back of the house. At the back of the house is a water tank. " Here is the water canisters. Jim, do you mind filling up the canisters" asks Charlotte. Jim fills up the water canisters. "If you all want to meet Riley, you better get going now. She is going to have the regular weekly meeting in about an hours time. If you go now, you should be able to make it" says Charlotte. " Sounds like a plan. Thanks for everything Charlotte. We owe you" says Tobecca. Tobecca gives Charlotte a hug. " Where is Riley" I ask. "Riley is at Greyton's headquarters. It is literally straight ahead. Massive building" says Jim. We all say goodbye and depart to meet Riley. We arrive at Greyton headquarters. Jim was right. It is a massive building. There are guards around the building. We park on the side of the road. The guards aim their guns at us but we put our arms in the air. " What do you want" asks one of the guards. " We would like to see Riley please. My name is Lily. This is Tobecca, Spencer and Andrew. We don't mean any trouble." " Wait here" says the guard. The guard enters in the headquarters. We wait for about five minutes before we see an elderly woman walk with the same guard who entered to find her. " Good day Ladies and gentleman. My name is Riley. I was told that you were looking for me."
