All of them were in the room. The sudden attack made them think faster than they had thought. The plan has to be made. Alex was sitting on the wooden chair, drawing on a map all the information they knew. Meanwhile, Vanessa was separating some food from the cabinets into four parts, so that everyone would have the same amount. She didn't understand why Alex told her to do that when they all had the freedom to get food. Owen was sitting on another chair and untying then tying his shoes, it was an act of boredom. The engineer of the team was doing his job, making a nonelectrical heater that would hold and use wood better than the traditional way.
"It won't work." A small whisper came from Danny's back. Owen tried to annoy him by repeating the same word 10 times.
"Shut up and get the wooden packs." Danny pointed with his fingers to the side where they put wood for fire. Owen sloppily went to get it for Danny. Soon the fire was on and the heater did its job.
"Told you so." Danny satisfiedly added.
"I finally made it." Three heads were turned around to the table, where Alex had been sitting for hours, playing with maps and papers. Furthermore, he was silent until now.
"You sound like a villain now, what have you done?" Vanessa questioned.
"The plan for moving. Yet, some things should be said first." Alex stood up from his chair and moved the tones of paper from the map. Those papers were collected for months. In the beginning, when the city had electricity Alex went to all sites of government and copied the locations of where the rescue teams would be If infection arose. The roads that are closed and the earth roads in the middle of fields could bring you easier to other areas. He collected it all with radio podcasts, and news and even stole it from some society centers where attacks happen so the news wasn't even uploaded, but he had it. With all that he made the plan that can bring them to the final destination, but what's their final destination if all areas are full of infected?
"Is Alex trying to be serious, did someone turn the comedy channel?" Owen giggled. After that, the slap could be heard, not even ten seconds after he made fun of Alex. And the slap wasn't from Vanessa but from Danny. In conclusion, Owen's head turned 90° in seconds.
"Shut up once." Danny signed.
"You fucker, don't play that game with me." Owen
"Will you stop it once?" Alex asked with a serious tone.
"Come on nerdy, be a good dog and listen." Vanessa couldn't hesitate but to tease Danny even more.
"The same goes for you... Just listen to me for once, all of you." Alex stated.
"And, what's the plan?" Owen is the type of person who couldn't wait for an answer.
"So. We are currently here at F1, we need to move southern, through the border of F1 and F3. Since you said the F2 is most likely to be double occupied. When we get to F3 we will stay at Hotel Menchik, and spend the night there. It's an abounded shelter, we will manage to get in better than zombies would since they're dumb. After it, Medeta. It will be tough to stay there since I didn't find any place with a safe zone, just to be clear. " Alex showed them a direction of going and places where they would first take a rest. Three of them were on opposite sides of the table listening to him. Four past friends, meeting again and now fighting for their lives as the one is commander and others soldiers, quite a sad scene.
"And then, what then? What's the goal? Is someone gonna be the final girl or what." Owen joked.
"Then? okay, then you tell me." Alex put down his glasses and left them on the table, his arms leaning on a table with crossed fingers. A dead stare was all Owen could see on Alex's face, a cold dead stare. The famous stare of jade eyes. In high school, they made a joke about Alex's stare:" It can turn anyone into ancient gay sculpture." But this one, however, is significant to get serious.
"Do you want to live, or die as a creature that's called a dumb brainwashed zombie? That I might kill later. If that's so then stay here. I won't make anyone go, you can do as you wish." Alex clarified and leaned back on the chair.
"There is no big choice though" Danny added calmly.
"You choose, do you want to be in fear till you die, or live for danger? By saying that, I mean finding a way to stop this." Alex explained.
"And how can we do anything?" Owen asked but this time he wasn't joking.
"You can't do anything alone, but it depends. If we work together, we could change things. Unless you want to die here." Alex smiled at the brightly just to make fun of Owen.
"As we have other choice... What you say, Owen, should I make you a grave in front of the factory." Danny smirked and looked at his friend who also had a peeky smile at that moment.
"Nah, Kursou is a lame place to die." Owen anwerd.
"Nothing changed." Vanessa sighed. She had a bad feeling about this happening just the moment she saw them.
"And I have to finish some unfinished talking Nessie." Owen stood up and shifted behind Vanessa's chair and slightly moved her ponytail to irritate her.
"Wonderful." Vanessa signed again but this time her voice sounded like she was crying.
"So, we are all in." Alex
"Who?" Owen made again joke like a 6th grader which made everyone stay silent. All six deadly eyes were staring at him.
"What, it never hurts to laugh a little." Owen added.
"And you're only laughing." Vanessa answered him with a zero, smile.
"Okay ending joking I get it." He moved closer to the table and spoke again. "This time we stick together, till we die." Owen's words formed a group, or better said reformed. With that said, he put his hair in front of them, waiting for others to put theirs and make a promise. This kind of act made others smile, even Vanessa's slight smile appeared. Now with all four hands, the promise had been made. This means an adventure "Take a risk now or rest forever" starts now.
