Be Still! (Chapter 5)

Elisa opens up the boxes, she looks at Joe and Michael and they are doing their things without looking at her. Elisa takes 5 hypodermic needles and 5 syringes she keeps in her pocket along with the small wooden box and zipped the pocket.

Previous chapter Michael finds a map and a small box, he looks at Joe and Elisa as they are busy doing their things. He takes out the map and looks at what's on the map. The map has very detailed information on routes but it's unknown where this place is. Michael opens the small box. Inside it's a beautiful green shiny stone; should be a graded Jadeite. Michael thinks this could be something precious stone and it could be useful since he has the map. Michael quickly keeps it in his pocket.

Joe finds a smaller weapon and decided to keep it in his pocket.

After some time Joe finds another small gun he decided this he will give it to Elisa.

Joe walks to Elisa.

Elisa looks at Joe.

Joe gives the small gun to Elisa.

Elisa says, "But I don't know how to use this."

Joe teaches her.

"This isn't too hard to learn."

Joe smiles. "That's because you're a fast learner."

Michael thinks should he tell Joe and Elisa about the map. But he thinks again. Maybe he shouldn't because he still doesn't know whether they are together or something.

After Joe gives the small gun to Elisa, he notices something underneath the box on the other side where he was standing just now. Joe says, "I will go do my things now."

Elisa looked at the small gun and kept it in another empty pocket empty.

Joe walks normally and returns to where he was standing just now. He turns his head and looks at Elisa as she is busy keeping the small gun. Joe looks at Michael he is busy opening a box. Joe lifts the box to see what's underneath.

Joe sees it's a gadget. Joe saw such a gadget before he wonders what it's it was Joe didn't know how to use it so he just keep it in his pocket. Joe thinks it might be useful.

Suddenly, some sound it's coming from the top of the train sound like something is on top walking.

Joe lookup.

Elisa is shocked.

Michael panic.

Everyone looks at each other.

Joe put a hand sign on the mouth. 'Keep quiet.'

Joe quickly belts up the weapons on his body.

Joe gives Michael the belt of weapons and points to the belt on his own body.

Joe gives Elisa a belt of weapons too and points to his body.

Everyone belted up the weapons on their body.

Everyone looks up.

Suddenly the sounds stopped.

Everyone sigh...

Suddenly a loud sound DONG!

Everyone panic.

Joe moves the boxes to block the previous cabin where they came in.

Michael and Elisa help to move the boxes.

Michael look at the next cabin door which was blocked by the cartons. Michael thinks is it safe because no one knows what's inside that cabin.

Elisa looks at Michael and sees that he staring at the next cabin door.

Joe looks at both of them looking at the next cabin door.

Suddenly the previous cabin has some sounds.

Elisa is the nearest to the door. She listens. There are weird sounds. She got shocked and stood still.

Michael and Joe look at Elisa's expression.

It seems like she heard something.

Michael goes nearer and listens.

Michael got shocked and quickly closed his mouth.

Joe isn't surprised by their reactions.

Joe patted both their shoulders and pointed at the boxes.

Suddenly, the doorknob is turning by itself.

Joe quickly holds still the doorknob.

Michael and Elisa look at Joe.

Joe says, "The zombies don't know how to turn the doorknob, it must be a person or something else turning this doorknob."

Michael says, "If it's human then it's okay but if it's something else..."

Joe says, "No, it's not okay. What happens if they are bad people either we get killed or they will keep us hostage?"

After hearing these words. Elisa and Michael say, "We must not let anyone or anything comes in here."

"But there isn't anything that can block this door except these boxes."

Elisa goes behind and checks the boxes.

Inside there are metals and screws which can be fixed up and be a solid metal door.

Elisa shows it to Joe and Michael.

Joe tells Michael, "Can you fix the metal pieces and install them here?"

Michael says, "Can but I need a saw and drill so that I can make the doorknob size to fix on this part here."

Joe says, "Why not try to open up some boxes maybe there will be a saw and drill."

Michael tries to open up the boxes.

Joe is still holding on to the doorknob while talking to them.

Elisa sees a saw which is leaning on the wall and a drill on the floor.

Michael says, "We got them. You have to wait for me to fix these. Elisa I need your help to hold these while I fix them."

Elisa helps Michael.

Joe still holding on to the doorknob.

It's turning fast the doorknob.

Suddenly it stopped. No more turning of the doorknob.

Joe still holding on to the doorknob just in case it opens.

Michael is busy cutting the size of the metal.

The dust of the metal pieces in the air makes Elisa cough.

Joe turns and looks at Elisa.

Michael doesn't have any problems with the dust.

Joe says, "Cover your nose."

Both of them hurry to do the metal.

Michael manages to fix up the metal and put it in the previous cabin wall. He merges the metals and fixed them on the wall.

Looks like a perfect metal wall. Only the doorknob is visible.

Michael says, "This way only the doorknob can be turned and nothing can enter here."

Joe is surprised at the work done.

Elisa finds Michael amazing.

Elisa knocks on one of the boxes. Its sanitary pads and tampons are in the box.

Elisa says, "I found these sanitary pads and tampons. Elisa quickly packs all in her bag."

Joe says, "We should turn our heads while Elisa changes those."

Michael agrees.

Elisa looks at an area where there is a small space she bends down and changes her sanitary pad.

After Elisa changes her sanitary pad.

Joe says, "This thing has to be burned or else the zombies will come if they smell."

Elisa says, "She doesn't have a lighter."

Joe takes out his lighter.

Michael is looking. He says, "Hold on, if we burn it here, will this place catch fire and it will burn the oxygen."

Joe says, "Burned the oxygen it's better than those zombies coming in."

While Joe burns the sanitary pad.

The next cabin door sounds.

Elisa quickly holds the next cabin door.

Michael says, "Hold on I will saw and drill more metals."

Joe says, "No don't if you block this door we don't have any more exits."

"Everyone are you ready?"

Joe says, "Elisa let go of your hands."

Elisa let go of her hands.

Michael is in a panic. He doesn't know what's behind the door.

Elisa is hiding behind the box, trembling.

The atmosphere is intense.

While Joe and Michael face the next cabin door. Elisa found something while she bends down behind the box.

Elisa sees there is a bag filled with gold, its 10 pieces of gold bars engraved 999 with 5 grams each. She quickly grabs the bag and puts it in her bag separately 5 in her bag compartment. It's just a flash of seconds.

Joe and Michael didn't see or notice this because they are very busy going to open the cabin door.

Elisa thinks she shouldn't let them know unless no choice but to save her own life.
