As Alex listened to Ezekiel, someone else spoke up to answer his question. “If we find one further down, then we can have another spot so we aren’t wasting our energy running for this one if we’re all the way on the other side of the patrol route.” Drake said as he looked at Ezekiel.

Kai bit his lip as he listened to Theo. It was a stupid and crazy plan. It could get both of them killed. But.. it was the best shot they had. “Fine. But you better make it through the door bite less and safe.” Kaiden said, shifting his stance. Once Theo took off, and he had a clear shot, he was ready to run for the door. “When you’re ready, I’m ready.”​

“Having at least one other one would likely be beneficial. I agree.” Ezekiel gestured to the path for them to continue on. “We can move closer to the other side of our route to kind a place similar to this.” He moved them along so that they could do that.

Theo grinned and batted his chest. “It’s me, bro. Have I ever gotten bit before?” It was a dumb question, but it did prove his point. Without saying anything else, he ran the wrong direction, heavy footfalls and banging into anything he could find. That was enough to grab the attention of a whole lot of infected all at once. Those two runners were running after him. That clicker somewhere to the left was not very much on the right and also making its way after Theo. But Theo was fast, and as long as he planned this right, this would not be so bad. He knew Kai could make it. He knew it.

Alex and Drake both nodded as the group moved along their patrol route. Alex looked around, taking in the rest of the route he didn’t see as much of before. Up ahead about a quarter or so before the end was another building set, similar to the first one. “We can try there.” Alex suggested.

“Just be careful.” Kai muttered and a moment after Theo drew all the attention, Kai bolted. Crowbar in hand and he knocked one infected down that was in his way as he ran. He pushed the door open and looked around there wasn’t much to bar it with on this side, wait. Dumpster. He rolled it over and after Theo came through, he would knock it on its side and bar the door with it.​

“I am glad we had similar thinking.” This route seemed to have a lot of different buildings as many were. They were more run down on this side, so choosing one that was perfect for their needs was vital. One that was in too good of condition would attract the attention of those like the wolves, but the ones that were too broken apart could make it difficult for them to navigate. “This section over here has fallen apart quite a bit, but I think it might still be usable. Come inside.” He ushered them forward to see that one building had collapsed into the other but only enough to knock down some of the middle walls. The floor was a bit uneven, but otherwise, it was similar to the layout of the first section. “Spread out and we can try again.” After a few minutes, Ezekiel whistled.

Theo could have said that he was always careful, but this would be a flat out lie since yesterday he lied about where he was going so that he could run around areas they didn’t know, ran down a falling staircase, fought infected with scars, and then sorta fought scars? Oh and now he snuck out to run through a building with infected when he didn’t have a weapon to leave a message for those scars. Yeah, so no. He was not careful. He was running like a crazy. He peered over his shoulder and tried not to get distracted by the extremely close runners. Where was Kai? He wove through a few fallen shelves, hopping over some crates which hopefully slowed whoever was still behind him. Oh, Kai was out. Great! He ran as fast as he could, but that wasn’t exactly fast enough. As he moved, something caught his jacket. Nope nope nope not today. He snapped his arms back and let that jacket come right off and into the hands of the runner. He picked up speed and moved out of the building where he slammed the door shut and held it until Kai could shove the dumpster. He breathed heavily, panting for breath as he doubled over.

As they moved towards the buildings, Alex was happy that it wasn’t just him thinking that these buildings would work. He followed the group in and made his way up and to the far left. When the whistle came through, he whistled back an all clear.

Kai waited with nervous anticipation for Theo to get out safely. His bottom lip was between his teeth as he stood there. The moment he saw Theo come through, without a jacket, he shoved that dumpster over and successfully blocked the door. He looked over at Theo, doubled over and panting for breath. “All good? No bites?” Kai asked nervously as he looked around them. There were old houses and buildings up ahead along the street but so far it seemed like a straight shot at the moment.​

The sound was similar to how it was in the other buildings. There was enough all to obstruct the whistle from traveling too far but not enough to make it difficult to hear. A member responded with a sharp and quick whistles of affirmation at about the same time, and the whistles could be distinguished. Good. Ezekiel whistled for everyone to regroup and once they did, he did the same as he had been. “That seems to work well. Does anyone have any pros and cons of this place?”

Theo looked at his arms and then sort of looked behind him at his shoulder. “I think I am good. No one touched me. They got my jacket though. Rude. I liked that jacket. It was always the right size.” He shrugged. “But I would rather they have that than anything else. You good?” He stood up straight and used Kai to level himself out. Balance again. “Let’s head that way past those houses.”

Alex noticed the distinguished whistles and noted that there was enough spaces to hide if needed as well. He made his way back to the rest of the group. “The only con I see is that there isn’t as much space to fight. Hiding and communicating are good though.” Alex commented.

Kai did a double check on Theo when he was doubled over but he didn’t see anything either. “We’ll get you a new jacket. The biggest issue is how do we explain what happened to your old one.” Kai said, especially since Brian had seen him wearing it earlier. “I’m good. Let’s get moving that way, I don’t want to get caught out especially since we aren’t supposed to be outside of the stadium.” Kai said, moving towards the houses.​

“That is a very good point. If there is combat, we do not want to lead our enemies inside, but we can hide in there relatively easily.” Ezekiel looked at the surrounding areas. “However, I think that for meetups, these are good enough places for now. Does anyone have any concerns or suggestions?” For now, he could not think of anything else that they needed to work on.

That was a good point. What would they tell people if they asked about it? He lost it? In the stadium? Maybe it got messed up? Maybe he simply didn’t want to wear it anymore. Eh, that would come to them when they had to do that. “Being caught is exactly the opposite of what I would like. Keep that thing with you though.” He pointed to the crowbar. “That is going to be handy if we run into anyone else.” He started moving forward and as well and to the houses. It was probably going to be easier to go through some of these though that would mean more chances of infected. Was that a problem though? They were pretty darn capable.

Alex nodded as he looked around. He simply shook his head as he noticed the sun was getting low in the sky. It was growing closer to dinnertime, so perhaps it was time to call it and head back to the island. Drake and Alex and a few others shook their heads to the question. "Perhaps we should head back before it gets too dark to see our way home?" Alex suggested.

Kaiden nodded with a pale face as he heard that. "Oh I'm keeping this crowbar until I can't anymore." Kai said as he moved forward with Theo. He noted the position of the sun and groaned. "Theo, we should move quickly. We're going to run out of time if we don't." Kaiden said as they moved forward to the houses. He looked around as he moved. "Let's find the fastest way through here." He said, holding the crowbar close as he walked.​

Another member, Jodelle, spoke. “I do not want to be stuck out here again, even if we did get rid of the majority of the infected earlier.” Several others nodded and murmured their agreement. It was a lot to ask them to be out much longer. “Then let’s head back so that we may all rest easy for tomorrow.” Ezekiel gestured back the way they came.

Theo walked around the first house looking for an entrance. “Would you believe that I was thinking the same thing? We probably shouldn’t have spent so much time pouting if we wanted to do this today.” He pushed open a door and stepped inside. All was silent and calm for now. They needed to get to a back door or back section to get through. He ran straight down the middle just to find that the back door was blocked. Great. Okay. Maybe a window somewhere?

Alex nodded along with her as did Drake. None of them wanted to be out much longer. Alex followed the rest back to the island, he was ready to get some rest. Last night wasn’t the most comfortable sleep in the world.

Kai sighed as he followed Theo through the door and stepped inside. “I guess we really shouldn’t have been pouting. I hope that the alarm didn’t ruin our escape.” He said as he looked at the blocked back door. Great. Just great. Kai looked around before he moved through the hall and into a room. “Theo!” He whispered as he climbed through the broken bedroom window and came out the other side. “Clear.”

Oh the alarm had woken Josh up, and he was trying his hardest to ignore the sinking feeling that his son was the cause. He was laying in bed with Hayden and the knowledge of the alarm was gnawing at him. He moved to get off the bed and find out just what had set it off.​

The journey back did not take long, and once they were on the island, Ezekiel pulled the group aside for one last talk before they dispersed. “I appreciate all that you have done these last few days. We are in the middle of a war that I do not quite understand. You have shown great strength and persistence. I am proud of every one of you. Take the rest of your day, what little there is, and the night to rest well. May tomorrow bring you fortune. May She touch your sleep with beautiful dreams. May you find peace.” He nodded to them, bowing like they were his superiors instead of the other way around.

Theo was looking on the other side of the house when he heard Kai. He jogged over to him and smiled. “Look at you coming out on top like you always do. This is why I would never want to crime with anyone who isn’t you.” He jumped through the window and walked out on the other side. “We’re close now, right? I feel like it’s not much further.”

This was a door alarm. It was not the usual alarm that went off when something horrible was going wrong. The door alarm usually meant someone was messing around. Of course, it had been quite a while since that happened. Isaac himself put the right amount of fear in that kid. No one had dared do anything like that since. Hayden rolled restlessly as Josh moved away from the bed. “Can’t someone else deal with that?” he groaned. His voice was raspy from the overuse not but a few hours before. He already knew the answer as he swiped away the too little sleep from his eyes. One leg off the bed and then the other. It was time to stop avoiding their real lives.

As they made it back to the island, Alex looked at Ezekiel as he talked to them. Every word was true, this war even he did not understand. The group bowed back to him before they dispersed, well all but Alex. “I’ll see you tomorrow? May she give you good dreams.” Alex said, smiling at the older Seraphite.

As he heard Theo, Kaiden chuckled as he looked around. “Not much further. It should be just past that yellow building.” He said, pointing out a house a few hundred yards from them. “Then we have to get back quickly. Patrols might pick back up now that some men have been able to get sleep.” He said as he started walking.

Josh remembered the last time someone played with the door alarm. It had been deactivated for a while after that but they did finally reactivate it a few days ago. Each level had its own doors and each door had a specific alarm code. Josh saw Hayden roll restlessly and he sighed softly. “You know the answer to that. You don’t have to get up yet love, I’ll be right back. I just.. want to know what happened and which doors were activated.” Josh said as he stood up and stretched. His joints creaked a little but it wasn’t painful, just sore.​

Ezekiel turned to Alex and smiled. “Of course. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” He yawned and raised a hand to his face to cover the obtrusive moment. “May She guide you through your night.” The amount of sleep he had gotten the night before was very little, and he had a feeling that this night would not be much different. At least he had his own loft to be in. “May She grant me sleep,” he said without thinking as they walked through the village and back towards their homes.

Yellow building. Who wanted their building to be yellow? It was a fun color and all, but why? Theo wondered these things sometimes as they moved through the abandoned buildings of an old world. He jogged ahead, anxious to get to their destination now that their time was very much running out. “Come on world. Give us just a little bit longer before the patrols happen.” He eyed inside a building and snapped his mouth closed. Inside, he caught sight of a runner hunched over. If he was quiet, they could move past that without any issue. He pointed just to make sure Kai saw too.

Hayden moved off the bed and picked up the pill bottle and cup of water he kept for when he needed to take the medicine. Now was the time. He got off schedule with everything that happened the night before. His body could tell. That was okay. They were going to work it out. “Right. And I am going to come with you.” He stretched as well, pulled on his shoes and was ready to go. He had not even changed from before because he was so exhausted. That meant he was decent enough to figure out what kind of emergency they were having. That and there was no way he was going to be able to sit there alone worrying about Kaiden. “I can do it. Don’t worry about me,” he tried to cut off before Josh could say anything.

Alex smiled as he nodded. “You as well. Good night.” Alex said as he made his way to his home and laid down, a yawn slipping out as he pulled the blanket he had over himself.

Kaiden heard Theo, as their efforts were doubled. They were running out of time. “I agree, please give just a little more time.” Kai agreed as they walked. He caught Theo pointing and looked. Kai nodded and moved on. There wasn’t much more to go, the three story yellow building getting closer. “So close.” Kai whispered.

Josh hadn’t changed either, and he sighed, hearing Hayden. “Of course.” He said as he watched his husband take his medicine. He was thankful they still had medicine, especially for Hayden. Josh had moved forward to help Hayden stand and walk when he heard his words. “I’ll always worry about you. And I’m right here if you need me okay?” He said, knowing and understanding that he wanted to do things on his own. Josh would never deny that, and he was simply there for support. “When you’re ready, we can head to the security office.”​

“Good night,” Ezekiel called out as he watched Alex disappear into his own abode. Ezekiel wandered a bit longer before finally deciding to go to his family’s home. He greeted them all, ate with them, told them variations of the life he led without them, and then he moved up to his loft where he laid down and tried to sleep. It took far too long, but eventually, many hours later, he did sleep even if that sleep was restless.

“Come on come on,” Theo groaned under his breath as he moved quicker. He was all but running now. He didn’t want to actually run, because that was loud. Infected loved loud. He did not love infected, so jogging it was until they hit the yellow building at which point he couldn’t stop his feet from smashing down a little more. Oops, oh well. It was probably fine. He sped past the yellow building to their destination.

The medicine was not something that they had plenty of, which was why he worked so hard to find a way to replicate it. He had long since given up the dream of marine biology. Now he worked with human biology and thus also the medicines. They did not have enough people to do everything, so he was doing all of it with the small crew that they had. One day, he hoped that he could recreate something that could work for him. One day. Hayden kissed Josh’s cheek and moved out the door. “Well, come on then. We don’t have all day.” He grinned. “Don’t you want to know who is breaking the rules?”

Kai was keeping up pace with Theo, until that slightly louder smashing. A screech from the yellow house and Kai changed direction, swinging the crowbar at it before it alerted more. The runner dropped and Kai glanced around. Clear again. He moved faster with Theo, and there it was. Martyrs Gate. “Quick, we need to leave the note and get back.” Kai said as he moved towards it.

Josh smiled at the kiss to his cheek. “I’m coming.” He said with a chuckle, following Hayden out and locking the door behind him. “That depends on who we find out is causing trouble. Because if it has to do with our son, he’s going to have posted guards on his door at all times and not allowed out of his room one of us present.” Josh said as he headed to the security room, going at Hayden’s pace of course.​

So he should have been paying better attention to his surroundings. He should have had more control. But he had Kai to save him, so it was fine! Theo stopped as Kai took care of the runner and then jogged lightly to Martyr’s Gate. “This place is so strange. I wonder how often people look at these anyway.” He gestured to it for Kai. “Alright, where do you want to put it?”

Hayden was moving pretty well today. He could never get up to the quick speed that he used to be able to do when he was younger and far more capable, but he was still quicker than a lot of the people around here. It was determination. “If it has to do with our son, so help me, I will keep that boy by my side and end those dreams of being a hero like his papa. Heroes don’t act like they are still fourteen and want to sneak out like that.” As they reached the security room, Hayden groaned. “Everyone better wish, hope, pray, or whatever they do that this is someone else.”

Kai looked at Theo as they came to the gate and shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know how often they check. But we’ll have to check it often to see if there’s a response.” Kaiden said as took their note. “Hmm. How about right here?” He said, folding it and sticking it on the outside. “I think that’ll work.” Kaiden added as he looked at Theo.

Josh listened to Hayden and sighed heavily. Yeah. That was about right. Unfortunately for Kai, if he had left then Josh wouldn’t be able to change Hayden’s mind. As they entered the security room, one of the techs looked up. “Hey Mason. What doors got activated?” josh asked as he looked at him. “Second floor, near rooms 200-220 and the bottom door in that same stairwell that leads outside.” Mason replied. Kaiden’s room was 205. That sinking feeling was getting worse. “Any video feed?” “No. The video surveillance has been down for a few days now.” Josh nodded at that and sighed. “Thanks.” He looked at Hayden. “Let’s go pay our son a visit.”​

Theo stepped back to look at everything and make sure that the note was obvious enough for someone to read it. “That’s good. I feel like it looks different enough to want to grab someone’s attention, but the words are harmless enough to not mean anything to anyone but them.” He nodded. “This is good, man. Let’s get back.” He looked up at the sky. “I am a little afraid this is going to go poorly if we don’t move quickly.”

Poorly was an understatement. As Hayden stood there, arms crossed over her chest, legs firmly planted in his spot as Josh made his inquiries, aa truth that Kaiden did not want to be was settling into Hayden’s mind. A truth that was going to end without anything good. “He better be in that room.” He turned and left without saying thank you or goodbye. He did not wait for Josh, though Josh could catch up with him. Today, he moved faster than he had in a while. He was feeling relatively well pain and stiffness wise, yes, and he was also furious. Absolutely furious. He knew that he should wait until he knew for certain before he decided to be the kind of furious that ended relationships. It was for his own good. This boy- boy not man if he was going to act like this- clearly did not know how to be a fully functioning adult yet. “Joshua, I swear I will kill him if he has done yet another thing like this.”

Kaiden nodded as he agreed on the placement. He turned to look at Theo and swallowed hard, noticing the darkened sky. “Yeah. Let’s get back quickly. I agree that things won’t end well if we don’t.” Kaiden agreed, turning to begin the journey back to the stadium.

Josh could tell that Hayden was furious. He heard it in his voice, and in how quickly he was moving. Oh boy. Kaiden, just what were you thinking. Josh thought as he followed Hayden to the other side of the hall. “Now my love, we cannot kill him. Ground him for life but we cannot kill him.” Josh said, seeing the numbers shrinking. 205. He knocked on Kaiden’s door. Tried the lock. “Kai?” Josh called, and no words were heard. “Do you still have that master key for his door too?” Josh asked, glancing at Hayden.​

Theo moved quickly back with Kai, trying to not be so loud this time. He was, however, in a much bigger hurry than he was before. “Back the way we came should be the best bet, especially since you already got rid of the infected in the way.” He glanced nervously at the sky. He was pretty sure that they weren’t making it back in time.

“If we kill him, he can’t get into any more trouble,” Hayden growled they made it to the room. No answer. Of course there was no answer. Of course they were left out here like this. His chest and shoulders rose too much before they fell. He fished out the key and shoved it into the lock. “Oh yes,” he answered, his words deep with an edge to them. As he pushed open the door, he called in there, “Kaiden Lachlan, you better be asleep in this room.” He marched forward and stopped. Empty. There was no one here. His bag was on the floor by his bed. Good. He whipped around. “Theo’s room. Right now.” He was already on his way out and to it. Theo’s room was thankfully not that far. It was further down the hall by a handful of rooms.

“We can’t go back the way we came. The infected in that warehouse are still there. We need to find a way around that.” Kaiden said as he walked down the street, seeing the overturned dumpster and the warehouse. They weren’t going to make it at this rate.

Josh’s eyes widened at the growled words from his husband. Oh boy. He heard the words that were deep and had an edge as Hayden unlocked the door. No Kaiden but his bag was there. Either he was with Theo or he’d purposely left his back hoping to convince them he was still around and not outside. Josh nodded and followed after Hayden to Theo’s room. Josh knocked on Theo’s door and waited for a response.​

 

[icedthemoon]

Ezekiel Finch and Theophilus Sharpe (and also the Smith Clan)
Seraphite Warrior, WLF Member | 26, 22 | Current location ;; Washington

Right right. Yeah, no the warehouse was a problem. Shoot. Okay, so how did they get around? “I mean, we could always do the same thing, but that seems like a poor choice so around the warehouse it is.” He moved past the overturned dumpster and continued down the street. “So if need to go that way, these buildings are kind of like a grid. We should be able to follow this street and cut between some to get to the other side of the warehouse.”

Hayden would have stomped his way there if he was not moving so quickly. He stood by Josh as he knocked on the door. No answer. No no no this was not how this was going to go. He banged on the door. “Theophilus Sharpe! Open up this door!” He knew he wasn’t in there, but he needed him to be there. He needed both of those boys to be in this room. Both of them. He banged again. “The-“ The door opened, and for a moment, Hayden thought he was wrong. But then the door opened and it was not Theo or Kai. It was Brian, and he looked equally annoyed. “What?” He snapped before realizing who was there and looking appropriately sheepish. He backed up and cowered.

Kaiden looked around as he heard Theo and right away he shook his head at going back in there. No thanks. "I think that's a good idea. Let's see if we can walk along this street and cut back through." Kaiden agreed, turning to make his way with Theo down the street. "We've got a good chance to cut through thanks to how this city is."

Josh sighed as he heard the banging on the door, and even he winced at loud voice. He knew the two weren't in there, but he was hoping against hope that they actually were. When the door opened, it wasn't Kai or Theo. It was Brian. Josh rolled his eyes at the snapped word, and then saw the sheepish response a moment later. "Have you seen Theo or Kaiden around?" Josh asked, crossing his arms as he asked. "And do not lie to us."​
