Arriving in Letan, Paulo and Ta'Ron are running from a horde of zombies who are coming after them. The two people are empty-handed in weapons, ammunition and everything, and they've run for around ten minutes, increasing the level of their exhaustion since they were starving and tired since the crashing of the helicopter.
"Where to?" asks Ta'Ron after he and Paulo arrive at an intersection and sees a lot of places in ruin, closed, barricaded and wrecked.
"There." says Paulo looking at a brothel that is having his door opened.
"For real?" asks Ta'Ron.
"Any better idea?" asks Paulo to Ta'Ron.
Ta'Ron looks back and sees a few zombies coming after them. He turns around and runs straight to the brothel, and Paulo goes after him. The two managed to get inside the building, and they are locking the door, by using the key that was in the door. After locking the door, the two survivors are quickly moving heavy furniture to block the main entrance from the zombies outside. Dragged a long and sturdy piece of couch, place near the door, then they try to block the views of the windows by using the curtains pillows tying with duct tape they've found on the main lobby. It took them a while to make this blockage, and when they were done, they go upstairs. They look around the hallway and hide in a room.
"I think we are safe."
"Yeah…" says Paulo, and he tries to look around the room, but it is too dark. "W-Where's the light switch?"
"Jeez. This room smells awful."
Paulo is looking on the entire room for a light switch. He found it after a few seconds, he turns it on and sees in the room, a human woman corpse, dead, crucified on the left side of the room, where her belly is cut open, and her entire insides have been taken. The two quickly barfed, and ran out of this room, close the door after them, then they vomit on the hallway floor for a while.
"Jesus Christ…" says Paulo after he threw up. "W-What the fuck happened in there?"
-D-Don't want to go th-there." says Ta'Ron trying to get himself up. "Ever again."
The two are searching for another room to hide. They enter a room, but before they could enter it, Paulo turns on the light switch of the room, and the room reveals to be clean, untouched by anyone for many days since the infection of this virus has stated. The two are closing the door and decide to remain in there to rest.
"Pfew. We are safe." says Paulo to Ta'Ron, he jumps on the first bed on the room.
"Yeah…" says Ta'Ron going to the second bed of this room.
Ta'Ron notices there is a mini refrigerator between their beds. The man opens the refrigerator and there it reveals a few snacks for them to last a little longer. The two, without thinking too much about this, are eating everything from that refrigerator for thirty minutes. Later, the two are falling asleep in their beds, with the lights on and dressed in their dirty clothes.
They wake up after in three hours because of the knocking downstairs. The two were awakened by this, look at each other scared and then around for some weapons. Paulo notices there is a broom near the wall. He gets off the bed, walks toward that broom and take it as some sort of weapons.
"You're going to fight with that?"
"Any better idea?" asks Paulo holding the broom.
Ta'Ron is looking around the room, seeing there is not many choices that are better than a broom, he responds to Paulo.
"Good argument."
***
The two survivors arrive at the entrance of the building. Paulo having armed himself with a broom and Ta'Ron, who was lucky on the hallway, has found a cane to beat the thing that is knocking on the door. Paulo observes there is not any zombies on the covered windows, and many breaths and screeches coming from outside, meaning there is only one zombie outside. Ta'Ron asks Paulo.
"Zombie?"
"I don't know." says Paulo to Ta'Ron.
"Hello?" asks a voice from outside. "I-I-Is somebody in there?"
The two survivors are looking at each other, then, without any hesitation, go to the couch, move it out of the door and open the door after Paulo unlocked it. When they opened the door, three people are entering the building, then they tell Paulo to close the door. Paulo and Ta'Ron look back and see twelve zombies at twenty meters from the building.
"Oh shit!" says Ta'Ron.
"Close it!" say that person to Paulo who was glaring at the zombies.
"O-On it." says Paulo, locking the door of the building and looking back at Ta'Ron. "D-Didn't th-they looked like?"
"Y-Yeah." responds Ta'Ron to Paulo question.
"Poor bastards."
"W-What?" asks a woman from that trio who entered the building. "You know those zombies who chase us?"
"T-They were from our flight to the safe zone. I would recognize anywhere that military gear outfit on that zombie. A-And that one zombie, that wore a leather jacket with a bandana."
"A-Anyway." says Paulo. "Help us move this furniture to block the entrance."
The five survivors are moving all the furniture they could find and blocking the passage of entrance to this safe house. They moved most of the heavy furniture to the entrance and to the windows that are positioned on a lower level to the ground, and the light ones, such as vases and wooden chair, they've decided to use it as some sort of weapons in case zombies will break inside. The survivors decide to walk into the dinning room of this brothel (yes, this one had one), and stay in there to take a breather.
"Thank for helping us, man." says a survivor, the one with a long blonde hair, from the trio.
"Who are you guys?" asks Paulo. "I don't think we've got the chance to exchange names."
"My name is Eric." says the male with long blonde hair.
"I'm Sonya." says the female from the trio.
"I'm Taric." says the other male survivor with a long beard and a bandaged neck.
"What's with your neck?" asks Paulo looking at Taric neck.
"A-A bullet has gazed me." says Taric to Paulo question. "We were running from the Mall in panic after we were attacked by the first wave of zombies. It was awful in there. A lot of cops taken their gun to kill these said zombies, and innocents were more unfortunate than we were. But we've managed to get out of there. All three of us. I was the most unfortunate one as you can see. We are from Tirana by the way."
"We're also from there." says Paulo to Taric who was amazed by this story of their survival. "We were in there of the music festival."
"That is why you looked familiar." says the man named Eric to Ta'Ron. "You are Ta'Ron."
"Right here." says Ta'Ron to Eric, and points to Paulo. "And next to me is Paulo. My bodyguard."
"You two survived the attacks in there?" asks Eric. "I heard on the news it was a mess."
"It was." says Paulo to Eric. "But we were escorted out of there by someone who was way more capable than I and Ta'Ron are."
"And? Did that man died?"
"No. Last time I heard, he was going somewhere in Scandinavia." says Ta'Ron to that man.
"How he got in Scandinavia?" asks Sonya.
Paulo and Ta'Ron proceeds to tell the three survivors their whole story of their survival from the beginning of this infection. Paulo told their days of fighting and running from zombies, while Ta'Ron was telling small things about their comfortable short lifestyle they've had in that hotel. When they finished, Sonya stomach was grumbling.
"Do you have something to eat?" asks Sonya to Paulo while she is hiding her stomach in embarrassment.
"Hopefully." says Paulo. "Like I told you, we just got there, slept and then hear you three."
Paulo gets up from the table, walks into the kitchen with Ta'Ron to check the room to see if they can find something that is comestible for all of them. It wasn't in vain, the refrigerator had a lot of supplies such as vegetables and meat, and some delicious sodas for them to drink. The two survivors are taking the things from the refrigerator and walks with them to the table, where the three survivors are looking at the food with big eyes and smiling. They sure haven't eaten in days from their reactions because when the food was put on the table, Sonya and Eric ate the raw meat, and Taric has taken the vegetables to eat.
"We could've tried to make a dish with them." says Ta'Ron to the three people who are eating from these things from the refrigerator like some sort of wild animals.
"There's no electricity." says Paulo to Ta'Ron. "You saw the refrigerator didn't generate any cold in the interior."
"You two aren't going to eat?" ask Taric to Paulo and Ta'Ron.
"No. We are good." says Ta'Ron to the group.
The two haven't told the three people about their arrival in that room, where they've emptied a refrigerator and slept like logs for three hours. But they did tell them about that one room they've found, and like they were expecting, the three survivors puked what they ate and came to the decision to never go in that room, whatever the circumstances.
