Fall into Ashes

[Ricia]

"You will see again Kat.... Just get a bit more rest. Please. I'm sure this is tepereary." She didn't think it was... she didn't know if it was or not. She didn't know what was going to happen. She bit her lip a bit before kissing Kat softly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat's lip quivered a bit but he kissed her back he closed his eyes and his good hand came to touch her face her cheek mostly

 

[Ricia]

"You told me yourself. It will be ok... It'll be ok." Sage told Kat before pressing her head on his chest. "I should call Kai."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Don't," Kat said "What if a zombie hears the walkie?" he was honestly worried they had no clue where Kai was if he was above ground he'd be at high risk if they contacted him. "If... my eyes take a while, go back without me,"

 

[Ricia]

"Go back to sleep Kat." Sage said firmly. Avoiding the question.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Eat something... Sage," Kat told her but he did not try to get up eyes still closed.

 

[Ricia]

"Ok..." Sage sat up and the grabbed one of the bags of food and opened it before taking a few bites of it. "I'm going to go sound trap the door... ok?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ok... please be safe... lock up everything," Kat told her "till we can go back,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage nodded, though she hadn't moved yet. She was slowly munching a bit of jerky. Mostly so Kat knew she was eatting.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat smiled and relaxed "I won't turn... I don't feel the sickness in me anymore," he told her "it'll be ok,"

 

[Ricia]

"Its like a cold..." Sage said, "This blind thing is like... a runny nose... it'll just take a little... more antibiotics?" Sage asked Kat. He heard her put the bag down and get up.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yeah," Kat said he didn't beleive her but he wasn't gonna give up. "I don't know what to take," he chuckled "it reminds me how much we depend on Kai's brain,"

 

[Ricia]

"Yeah..." Sage gave Kat some more antibiotics then set the shop up for another day, at the most.


Morning was rising and Rick and Kai were making their way into the sewers before the sun was even up.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai luckily knew the way Chihiro and Kikuu were with them and to Ricks suprise they knew the tunnels almost as well as Kai did though Kai had both of them wear a face mask. Chi and Ki were very resorceful and they had made their own weapons from powertools from the mantinance closet.

 

[Ricia]

Rick was quite and keeping a close eye behind them. He made sure the two kids stayed between the two adults. Not that Rick thought Kai was an adult.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kikuu kept a hand on Kai's shirt as if she was afraid he'd disapear. Kai had explained to Rick that both the kids were not right in the head his father had lierally messed them up and he appologized in advance for anything Chihiro might say. The tunnels widened so it was easier to walk Kai kept his eyes peeled for another smart Zombie.

 

[Ricia]

Rick said it was fine, and glad he didn"t have pairents to fuck him up in the head.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai looked back at Rick "The middle school has a tunnel into its girls shower room," Kai told him.

 

[Ricia]

"Thats both creepy and dangrious..." Rick said with a sigh.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Agreed," Kai said softly.


"We can't go in... its the girls shower," Chihiro said.

 

[Ricia]

"Its an emergancy and we have no ill intent." Rick said justifying it to Kais sister

 

[InsaneTruth]

Chihiro blinked at Rick he supposed he could understand emergancy. He'd say sorry to his sisters later.


Kai smiled "it's convenient, the tunnel will get tight again her in about half a mile."

 

[Ricia]

" Hopfully I won't have to leave my helment behind till we come back this way... It almost didnt fit last time.." Rick said with a sigh.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Not as tight," Kai told Rick. "the last tunnel was a really old one,"


Kikuu looked at Rick "is your head that big?" she asked

 

[Ricia]

Rick ignored her. He didn't have the current mind set to deal with the kids.
