Later the night, on King Michael First High school grounds, on the building, Andra is doing some chores to help the base. That chores consisting into sweeping the dust from the hallway floor with a good quality broom she was handed by the people from The Organization. As she is sweeping near the Biology room door, she turns around as she hears the main door of the building opening. The lights were barely working, making that person who has entered the school building distinguishable. Andra looked at the person, and with a breath of relief she said.
"Viktor."
The boy named Viktor has entered the building, with a mope and a bucket with water, he came here to help Andra on this cleaning task she has received. The teenager is to look at Andra.
"Can I?" asks Viktor.
"Wait until I am finished with this room." she says as she resumes her ask of sweeping the dirt from the hallway into a pile.
"Okay." says Viktor letting the things down. "I am going to library, check the library, seeing if there is something in there."
"A good book?" asks Andra shocked. "You read books?"
"How do you want to keep yourself entertained on this world?" asks Viktor as a joke and he walks toward the room of the school library.
Viktor opens the door that is leading to another door who is at ten meters from him, he walks the stairs toward that room. As he arrived at the door, he opens the door, quietly. He enters the room and walks carefully toward the room nearest bookshelves. He takes a peek o his left side, and on there he sees there is two people covered in blankets, sleeping on the table. Viktor also notices the two people are sleeping, hugging tightly, and with their clothes on the floor.
The teenager decides to take three random books and he heads out of there as quietly as possible from the sleeping and loud snoring couple who decided to make out earlier. When Viktor has left the place, and closed the door quietly, he is leaving the hallway leading to library, and walks toward the classroom near the entrance door. He lets the books in there, and looks at their covers. Viktor has taken three novels written by Stephen King. First is "I.T.", second is "Christine" and the other novel is "Carrie". He lets the books in there, walks out of the classroom, and helps Andra on cleaning.

Back in the Hotel, that is combined with a usual market known by Romanian population by the name of "La Doi Pași" translated as "At Two Steps", the group of soldiers is preparing their beds for tonight. The group of soldiers from Valea Iașului have managed to convince the family of three to let them enters this place, and have a rest for this night.
Petre told the family of three people why are here, and what they can do with this place. The place was firstly supposed to be used as a safe zone, but after the group has seen the bridge has for real collapsed, the group is not sure if this will be used as a safe zone.
"Yes, they can try to take another route," says Petre to the father of the family when he asked if they couldn't take another route. "But seeing how this entire zone is heavily populated with Z's, and near the Vidraru Den area of danger in case the huge wall will fall."
"But he won't?" asks the mother of the family.
"Hopefully not." says Petre.
"You think there is a place for us in there?" asks the father to Petre.
"Everybody is welcomed in there." says Petre to the family.
The entire family of three are looking at each other happily. They already start to cry and feel hopeful that tomorrow this family will be rescued from this danger they have faced for around three months. Petre is discussing further with the family of three about their community in Valea Iașului, the things they have in there, how are people in there and about the medicine system they have after he has noticed that the husband has a left arm bandaged. When he was asked about the arm, the person answered that he has fallen the stairs after he tried to move a furniture cabinet on the ground floor.
Meanwhile, on the upper floor, in a room, at a desk, Daniel is working on the map. In this room, there is Gancea, who is checking his weapon for tomorrow. After he checked the magazine of the handgun, and put it back, he looks at Daniel, who is still working on the map.
"What are you doing there?"
"I am working on the map." responds Daniel who is writing something on the map with a permanent marker. "There are other ways to get back to Valea Iașului, and this one was the quickest and dangerous one."
Daniel marks with a black letter "X" the zone where it is supposed to be the bridge that has collapsed, near where they are going to sleep this night. He also marks with a letter "X" the village called Albestii de Arges. He looks over the map, analyse a few trails then he says to Gancea.
"Look. There is a route that can lead to Valea Iașului. We can take the roads that can lead to the fish farm from Oești. But…"
"But?" asks Gancea.
"I am not sure if the bridges from that zones had the same fate as the one from here."
"There is another?" asks Gancea.
"Cicănești." responds Daniel. "The zone wasn't as highly populated like Oești or Albești. There may be fewer cases of zombies in there. It is a tough road, but if it considered to be safer. We'll have no choice, rather than cross the river, and search for a working vehicle on these hordes on the other side."
"Hopefully the radio station will work." says Gancea.
The squad has found a crate with radio stations, walkie-talkie in there, and now, there are two soldiers, in the kitchen, who are trying to make that device work.
