Peter has a pile of zombies in his room, blocking the other zombies from getting in, and it makes it easier for Peter to kill them with his lead pipe. Peter stabbed about six zombies, when suddenly Fabian and Paula appears in front of him. Peter has already lifted his lead pipe ready to stab them in the head, when he sees that it's Fabiana and Paula. "Can we come in?" asks Fabiana. "Sure." says Peter as he helps Fabiana and Paula climb over the pile of zombies. "Ok first off, what the fuck is this shit?" asks Peter when Paula and Fabiana were both now in Peter's room. "We can use this to walk with the herd and kill them one by one, or if Alexa decides we need to go somewhere else, this is how we're going to escape the herd." explains Fabiana the situation to Peter. "You're fucking crazy." says Peter. "I know you don't like it, or you think it's not going to work, I thought it too, but made it from my room to yours." says Paula. "Well, I guess, we need to get going then." says Peter. "Ok," says Fabiana as she drag one of the zombies out of the pile, to use for guts. Fabiana drags the zombie into the room and cuts open his stomach.

It's a few moments later, and Miranda cover's her arm for the last and then she stands up ready to go. By this time Miranda, Jolene, Peter, Fabiana and Paula are covered in zombie guts, as well as Alexa, Mark, Sarah, Ethan about too as well as Connor, but Fabiana and the other three doesn't knows it.

"Ok, so we're going to walk slow through the herd all the way to Alexa and the rest of them tell them what to do." says Fabiana as she picks up her knife. "Wait, shouldn't we split up, and let each one of us go tell one of them?" asks Miranda. "Ok we can do that. I'll to Alexa and Mark, Miranda you go tell Sarah, Peter you tell Connor and Paula you go tell Ethan and Susan." says Fabiana as she walks to Miranda's door. "Ok, and if we told what to do, what should we do then?" asks Jolene. "I'm not sure, but I'll ask Alexa what she thinks, and then we'll probably let you guys know too." says Fabiana. "Alright, I'm ready." says Peter as he gets his lead pipe ready just in case. "Ok, Uno. Dos. Tres." counts Fabiana in Spanish and opens the door, and the five them went to tell the others.

Connor is shooting the zombie with his bow and arrows, while he stands on his bed, and if he gets the chance, he will pull out some the arrows from the zombie's head and reuse it to avoid losing too much. While Connor shoots the zombies with his bow and arrows, he sees Fabiana and the other four walking in guts and splitting up. "Well, will you look at that." says Connor as he quickly shoots two more zombies and jumps of his bed. While Connor jumps off the bed, he grabs one of the dead zombies in front of him, to use as a shield, and he pushes the zombies that enters his room, out of the door with his 'zombie shield' until he can close his door. Immediately when Connor closes his door, he throws the zombie he used as a shield on the ground and pulls on of the arrows out of the zombie's head lying next to him. Connor uses this arrow to cut open the zombie's stomach.

Suddenly Sarah's room door open and Sarah and Alexa quickly leaves the room and close the door so that the zombies don't go inside while Nicole's still in there, because Nicole is not in the locker anymore. "Ok stick close to me." whispers Alexa as she and Sarah starts walking in the herd. Suddenly Miranda appears in front of them, and Alexa gets a fright. "Jesus." says Alexa. "Sorry, you guys were quick." whispers Miranda. "What do you mean?" whispers Alexa back. "Didn't Fabiana told you the plan we have?" whispers Miranda. "No we saw her and Paula walking to Peter's room, and then we did the same." whispers Alexa. "Who else know?" whispers Miranda. "Everyone." whispers Alexa, when suddenly Fabiana comes from Alexa and Mark's room. "Oh there you are." whispers Fabiana. "Yeah, I'm just waiting for the rest and then we need to talk in someone's room." whispers Alexa, when suddenly Mark, Ethan, Peter, Paula and Connor walking towards Alexa and the others, in zombie guts. "What do you want to do?" whispers Connor. "Ethan can we go to your room?" whispers Alexa. "Yeah of course." whispers Ethan as he turns around walking back to his room.

Ethan and Susan's room door opens, and the group steps inside, while Ethan kills zombies who also tries to enter the room, and then when everyone was inside he close the door. "Hey Susan, you ok?" asks Alexa. "Hi guys, yeah I'm, Charli-April as well." says Susan while she stands up to put Charli-April in the newborn bed, to sleep. "Ok Alexa what's the plan?" asks Jolene. "Ok, so I do want to stay here, because I believe we can really turn this into a home and a community..." says Alexa. "Yeah, I actually better than Jason-Garhed and The Park, sorry no regrets Miranda." says Peter. "It's ok, I do too." says Miranda. "So what I want to do, is that we need to kill every single grabber in this herd, and I know you guys are tired, I'm too, but everything that's happening right now, is about survival." says Alexa. "I agree." says Mark. "Sorry before I continue, I forgot to ask...Do any of you want to leave this place?" asks Alexa. "No." says Susan. "No not really." says Connor. "Ok, so what I want us to do, is I want us to split up, and try to kill every grabber on this floor as fast as we can. So, while we kill the grabbers I want Ethan and Mark to block the stairs with something, so that we stop the grabbers from coming to the 2nd floor. And Mark and Ethan, when you guys have blocked the stairs start shooting at the zombies that tries to push away the table or whatever we're going to use, immediately." says Alexa. "Ok, will do." says Mark. "But with what should we block the stairs with?" asks Ethan. "There is a cabinet in my room, it's big enough for the staircase, you guys can use that." says Miranda. "Ok, so you guys can use that." says Alexa. "Ok." says Ethan. "Ok, any other questions?" asks Alexa. "Yes just one more. Where's Nicole?" asks Susan. "She is in her room, ready a book." says Sarah. "Oh ok." says Susan. "Are you going to stay here?" asks Peter. "Yes." says Susan. "Ok so we have a plan, and remember to use melee weapons, only use when absolute necessary. You guys can use your guns again, when the staircase is blocked." says Alexa. "Ok, let's do this." says Fabiana. "Ok. One. Two. Three." says Alexa as she opens the door and starts walking inside the herd just so that Ethan can close the door.

Ethan closes the door, and walks with the others in the herd. Alexa turns her head shaking her head, by showing that they should start killing the zombies. Suddenly Peter stabs one zombie in the head and then one behind him as well, while Paula also stabs zombie all around her with her bed's leg, Miranda also stabs zombie with her knife all around her, Jolene as well, Mark and Ethan quickly run to Miranda's room to get the drawer, but as they run to the room, it draws zombies' attention. "Shit." says Mark when he sees the zombies walking towards them. Mark gets his gun ready to smash the zombies head in, while Ethan gets his knife ready, and when the zombies were close to them, Ethan starts to stab them in the head, while Mark tries to smash the zombies head in, as fast as he can, but Mark is still too slow, because he needs to at least smash a zombie's head three time, and the other zombies just keep coming. Ethan can't even try to safe Mark at the moment, because he has enough zombies to worry about. While Mark smashes the one zombie's head in, one zombie comes up from behind them, two on his left as well as one on his right, these are the zombies closest to him. Mark finally kills the zombie he was busy, with and turns to his left and smash of that zombies in the head. As he smashes the zombie's head in, he can see the other zombie also coming closer and closer, but suddenly an arrow goes through his head. It was Connor that shot the zombie. So, Mark kills that zombie and then he turns to his left again and smash that zombie's head, while Connor shoots the zombie on his left.

 

"All right come on, come on!" says Ethan as he starts pushing the zombies out of his way trying to get to Miranda's room, so Mark follows him, while he also push the zombies out of his way.

 

*****

 

The rest of the group are killing the zombies around them, while Ethan and Mark gets the drawer. "Peter and Connor go and kill the zombies that tries to head upstairs." says Alexa while she stabs a zombie in the head. "On it." says Peter, as he starts running to the stairs leading to the 1st floor to avoid the zombies climbing up, because there's already enough zombie on the 2nd floor. As Peter runs to the staircase, he also swings his lead pipe around, cutting zombie's brains open, and Connor uses one of his arrows.

 

When Peter and Connor finally got at the stairs, they immediately  starts killing the zombies trying to climb the stairs, and then all of a sudden Alexa takes out her gun and starts shooting the zombies on the 2nd floor. "Mom, what are you doing?" asks Sarah. "If Connor and Peter can try to keep the zombies from up the stairs, we can kill these grabbers in no time." says Alexa while she keeps shooting the zombies around her. Suddenly Sarah stabs a zombie once more in the head, and then she kicks another zombie away from her while she gets out her gun, and starts shooting at the zombies. Miranda loads he shotgun, while Fabiana covers her with her gun, and when Miranda's shotgun was fully loaded she starts to shoot at the zombies too, but she went to shoot the zombie, that was trying to eat Mark and Ethan, and Fabiana went and help her. So, at this time, Connor and Peter are shooting the zombies that climbs the stairs, Alexa, Sarah, Paula and Jolene are shooting the zombies on the West Side of the 2nd floor while Miranda and Fabiana shoots the zombies on the East Side of the 2nd floor, while Mark and Ethan tries to get to the cabinet.

 

*****

 

It was about fifteen minutes later, and all the zombies on the 2nd floor was finally all killed. "Ok, Mark, Ethan, bring the cabinet, bring the cabinet" says Alexa as she shoots the last zombie on the 2nd floor. Immediately after Alexa called Mark and Ethan, they carry the cabinet out of Miranda's room on their way to the staircase. While Mark and Ethan brings the cabinet, Peter and Connor still kills the zombie that climbs the stairs, and Jolene, Miranda, Fabiana and Alexa drags the zombies out of the way, so that there will be space for Mark and Ethan to put the cabinet. And about 36 seconds later Mark and Ethan puts the cabinet in front of the staircase to block it for the zombies. "Guys are almost done, all we have to do now, is kill the zombies downstairs." says Alexa as she reloads her gun and runs to the staircase. Soon the whole group runs to the staircase and starts shooting the zombies downstairs.

 

The twenty four dozens of zombie are finally now in the parking lot, but Alexa's group will not give up, until every single zombie are killed. The main entrance's windows are broke down by the zombies, as well as the glass on the main door. "Jesus, I never saw so many grabbers in my life!" says Jolene while she shoots at the zombies. "Yeah, no kidding, let's hope we never do see so many grabbers again." says Connor while he shoots a zombie with an arrow. Suddenly while the group was shooting at the zombies, a gunshot fire from behind them. Alexa, Ethan, Sarah and Mark turns around, when they see that it is Susan holding her shotgun. "Susan what hell are you doing here?" asks Ethan. "What do you mean? I'm helping you." says Susan as she shoots another zombie with her shotgun. "Well, the more people we have the faster we can get this over with." says Alexa, and continues to shoot the zombies. Susan walks to the group, and then she also continues to the zombies.

 

*****

 

It was about 27 minutes later when the herd of zombies were finally killed. The whole hospital's 1st floor, and 2nd floor as packed with zombies, Alexa and the others are all exhausted, because it took them almost about six hours to kill the whole herd, they started at 5am and ended at 11am. "We did it." says Peter. "Yes the hell we did." says Miranda with a relieved voice. "See I told you , we can do it." says Alexa. "Thanks guys." says Susan. "Looks like it's yesterday all over again." says Mark as he looks at all the bodies they need to clear out.. "Yeah, but this time yesterday will be tripled." says Ethan.

 

*****

 

Alexa exits the hospital and get some fresh air, the rest group does the same. "Shit, it feels good to smell some fresh air." says Peter as he gives a takes a deep breath of the fresh air. "Yeah, it does." says Fabiana. The rest of the group are just talking with each other, and forget about the herd for awhile, except for Alexa. Alexa is looking around at the cars that were used as the fences. While the others talk, Sarah notice Alexa looking around trying to find out what happened. So Sarah walks to Alexa to hear what's she's doing.

 

*****

 

"Hey mom." says Sarah as she walks to Alexa. "Hey Sarah." says Alexa as she stops a moment to say hello. "What are you doing?" asks Sarah. "I'm trying to figure out how the herd got distracted" says Alexa as she looks inside the cars to see if she can find anything. "You sure you want to do this now?" asks Sarah. "Well, when are you planning on doing it then?" asks Alexa. "Later, when we got some rest, and had something to eat, and when we got dressed in clean clothes." says Sarah. "I can't, I'm sorry Sarah." says Alexa as she keeps searching. "What's going on?" asks Mark as he and the rest of the group walks to Alexa and Sarah. "Dad..." says Sarah as she turns around and walks to Mark. "Convince your wife to deal with this later." says Sarah. "Babe, come on don't worry about that now, let's all get some food, get dressed and then we can talk about what should happen." says Mark as he walks to Alexa. Alexa stops searching, she gives a sigh and says, "Ok I will stop you guys can just all think of something that might have distracted the herd, to specifically breaks into the hospital." says Alexa as she turns around to the group. "Ok" says Mark. While they try to think, Paula suddenly remembers about the fire she and Peter light last night on the zombies they cleared out. She quickly turns around, looking up in the sky, when she sees the white smoke in the air. "Guys, it might be the fire." says Paula. "What fire?" asks Jolene. "Oh shit...yeah the fire that Paula and I light last night." says Peter. "Fucking wonderful, now we can't even get rid of dead grabbers." says Mark. "Yes we can." says Alexa. "How?" asks Connor. "We go and burn them somewhere else." says Alexa. "Ok, but this is going to take awhile to clear out." says Miranda. "So, let's get dressed, have some breakfast and then we'll talk about it." says Alexa. So the group goes inside to get into clean clothes, and then to have some breakfast.

 

*****

 

It's been about almost an hour, that the group doesn't think at the herd for once. All of them got dressed in clean clothes, and they're currently eating breakfast in the cafeteria: biscuit crackers, with tomato and lettuce. "Poor Nicole is sleeping like a rock upstairs." says Mark. "Yeah, but she's also up early, so I'll can understand that she is." says Jolene. "Yeah, I wanted to gave Charli-April some baby formula, but she won't wake up any moment now." says Susan and takes a bite of her biscuit cracker. "Well I think were all pretty tired as well." says Fabiana. "You can say that again." says Ethan. "Fabiana you never even told us what made you think that covering yourself in grabber's guts will work?" says Alexa. "Oh well, it all happened on complete accident. I was shooting the grabbers, and as I was shooting them, their brains and everything keeps splashing all over the place, so when I wanted to close my door so that I can reload, I was already covered pretty good with guts and brain flesh, and then one grabber enters my room without doing anything to me. So stood there trying to test it, and that's how it all started." says Fabiana. "Well thank go for that, otherwise, we would probably still be busy killing them." says Peter. "Yeah, thanks to Fabiana we got the chance to kill the whole herd." says Jolene. "Guys like I said it happened by complete accident, so I won't say I'm the hero of the day." says Fabiana. "Of course you are." says Miranda. "Ok whatever." says Fabiana. The group kept on having some fun and eating their breakfast for about ten more minutes.

Everyone was done with their breakfast and were on their way to meet Alexa out front, in the parking lot. Alexa looks around and thinking of how to secure the hospital.

Suddenly Alexa hears the laughs and voices of her group, walking towards her. "Ok guys, enough laughing and making jokes. This is serious right now, we all could have died this morning." says Alexa as the group walks towards her. Everyone else just keeps quiet. "Ok so what I have in mind is..." says Alexa as she points to where the fences are. "If we don't want the same shit to happen, like this morning, we're gonna have to make strong enough walls around the hospital, walls that are high enough and strong enough." says Alexa. "Preferring to what?" asks Fabiana. "Well definitely not wood again, like we used in Jason-Garhed, we need to take our time and do it right this time, but I don't mean dilly dallying, we still need to remember that any herd can run through again. So, I thought of maybe using zinc plates, for the walls." says Alexa. "Ok but the big question is, where do we get all zinc plates if we are going to make high enough walls for a huge ass entrance?" asks Connor. "I know a place where can find zinc plates, it might be enough to put all around the hospital." says Paula. "Good, I was revering of putting walls all around the hospital." says Alexa. "I'm just asking, is it necessary to put all around the hospital, I mean there's still fences and walls around the back?" asks Jolene. "Well the fences on the sides is piece of shit, if a herd comes through it will break in two seconds and the grabbers will then walk all over the fence and comes inside, and the wall at the back is not high enough." says Alexa. "Oh, ok. I just wanted to know." says Jolene. "Where's this place you're talking about, Paula?" asks Mark. "It's about nine miles from here, it's very close to where my house were, it's a whole piece of ground full of zinc plate homes. It was used to film some kind of movie there." says Paula. "Ok, so you will know how to get there?" asks Susan. "Yeah, I mean it's like I said, it's is very close too where I used to live." says Paula. "Ok, but I think you guys should first see if you guys can find like a hammer or something, otherwise you guys won't be able to loosen the zinc plates." says Alexa. "There are equipment at the place." says Paula. "Are you sure?" asks Miranda. "Yeah I've been there the day before the apocalypse started, they have tools in every house, so that every person that 'lives' in the house can break it down their self." says Paula. "Ok so who would like to go with Paula?" asks Alexa. "Well, how many do you think should go?" asks Peter. "Well it will be easier if more people can go, because then it will go faster, so let's say about seven people. Will that be enough?" asks Alexa. "More than enough." says Paula. "Ok, well I'm in. I will go with Paula." says Peter. "I'll go too." says Ethan. "I will too." says Susan. "What about Charli-April?" asks Ethan. "Jolene can takes care of her for a while, besides I need a little break too." says Susan. "Ok if you want to." says Ethan. "Who else?" asks Alexa. "I'll go" says Fabiana. "Me too" says Miranda. "I want to go to." says Sarah. "No, Sarah you need to stay here." says Alexa. "Why mom? I can do with a little fresh air, and doing some work." says Sarah. "I'll look after her, Alexa. Don't worry" says Fabiana. Alexa sigs, and says, "Ok fine, but just try not to overdo it, please." says Alexa. "I won't mom." says Alexa. "Ok so I think we have our seven people" says Paula. "Yeah, does anybody wants to grab something before we go?" asks Miranda. "No I guess we're good." says Fabiana as she looks around to see if anybody wants to get anything. "Ok. We're taking the van. And if we're not back by dawn, you will know, something happened." says Paula. "Well, let's hope that doesn't happen." says Alexa, while Peter, Sarah, Ethan, Susan, Fabiana and Miranda gets in the van. "Yeah, but they stopped filming when the news told everyone to stay indoors, so there's not suppose to be any grabbers there." says Paula. "Don't be so sure." says Alexa. "No I'm not, I'm just saying. But we'll be fine." says Paula and gets in the van.

 

*****

 

"God, I don't even know where to begin." Says Connor, while Alexa, Mark and he stands in front of all the zombies on the first floor. "We began each at a certain corner, we make our own pile of grabbers, so that we can just slide the counter top underneath and pick it up." Says Alexa as she looks at the dead zombies. So Alexa went to the corner nearest at the administration counter, while Connor goes to the hallway to the offices and cafeteria, and Mark takes the zombie on the stairs. " Hey, can I help?" asks Jolene as she walks down the stairs. " The kids are asleep, so I thought you guys would want my help." Says Jolene. "uh, sure, you can start over at the front door, and make a few piles of grabbers, so that we can just slide the counter top underneath and pick them up." Says Alexa as she show Jolene where to start working. "Ok sure." Says Jolene.

 

*****

 

"Ok turn right over here." Says Paula as she show Peter where to turn right. "Ok." Says Peter as he turns right into Cockroach Lane.

"How are you feeling, today?" asks Fabiana that is sitting next to Sarah on the back seat. "Good, thanks. How about you?" asks Sarah. "No, I'm good." Says Fabiana. "That's great." Says Sarah. "How about the baby? Is he doing ok?" asks Fabiana. "Yeah, I think so, I haven't had any of that massive cramps and pains since two days ago." Says Sarah. "Oh, that's wonderful." Says Fabiana. "Yeah, I think it's probably the pills my mom gave me, that helps for the pain and cramps." Says Sarah. "Well, I'm very glad if you feel better." Says Fabiana. "Thanks." Says Sarah. "Of course" says Fabiana as she bumps Sarah with her shoulder, on hers. "Oh, and thank you for convincing my mom to let me come with you guys." Says Sarah. "Hey of course, I like it when we bond." Says Fabiana. "I just don't know she made such a big deal wen I said I want to come." Says Sarah as she looks out the window. "Well, she is mother and she will always stay your mother and she only cares about you and the baby, and remember you said you only had that pains and cramps two days ago, so anything can still happen." Says Fabiana. "Yeah, you're right." Says Sarah, and looks back at Fabiana. "And she didn't made such a big deal about it, I just overreacted." Says Sarah with a guilty laugh. "I know, and it's fine. It was just the hormones talking." Says Fabiana as she winks at Sarah. Sarah just gives a shy laugh and smile back.

About eight minutes later, Paula, Peter, Miranda, Sarah, Fabiana, Susan and Ethan arrives at the movie location where the steel houses were built. "Looks like we are going to have some company." says Miranda as she looks at the film industrial truck parked in front of one of the house. "I guess everyone didn't made it out then." says Paula as she close the van's front door behind her. "Nothing that we can't handle." says Peter as he takes out his lead pipe, and closes the door. "Alright, just be quiet, because we don't how grabbers are here." says Fabiana as she takes out her gun and starts searching to see if there's any zombies around. Peter has his lead pipe, Susan her shotgun, Ethan his gun as well as Sarah and Miranda, while still has the bed's leg, and her gun.

 

"Ok, let's split up. Miranda you that way, Peter you over here, Susan you over there..." says Fabiana as she shows them where to go, so that each one of them search four houses. So, they split up and search the houses.

 

*****

 

Miranda opens the first house, that she needs to search, door while she holds her shotgun and has it ready to shoot a zombie if she sees one. While Miranda walks around in the small house, she suddenly sees a blood smear trail to a close door. She holds her gun in position, as she walks to the close door. She slowly opens the door and quickly looks around the corner, when she sees a dead body leaning against the wall, all shot through the head. "What the hell happened to you?" asks Miranda as she walks closer to the dead body. The whole wall behind it are all covered in blood and flesh, as well as the floor. Miranda kneels down to see how he died, when she sees that the person got bit. "Hmm..." says Miranda as she the shotgun still stuck in the body's hand. She slowly pulls the body's fingers off of the sawed off shotgun he used to kill himself. When Miranda finally got it off, she looks to see if there's any ammo left, but there was nothing. "Saved the last bullet for himself." says Miranda as she puts the gun on the floor, and stands up. As Miranda turns around and walks back to the door, she looks at the wine barrel that has props in it, which were used for the film. Miranda went to look closer, because the weapons that were used as props looks real. "Holy shit." says Miranda as she sees that the props are real weapons. Inside the barrel is three axes, a Tachi sword and another sawed off shotgun, but without ammo as well. Miranda looks at the weapons for about seven more seconds, when she suddenly picks up the Tachi sword. She takes the scabbard off of the sword and turns around. "Still pretty sharp." Says Miranda as she swings the sword around. Miranda puts the sword back in the scabbard and hangs the scabbard and sword over her left shoulder and lower right back, so that she can easily, takes the sword out from behind, and put it back, whenever she's going start use it.

Ethan opens the second house, that he needs to search, door while he holds his gun in front of him, in position. After he has searched the house, he couldn't find any zombie, only a small toolbox with tools inside, that they can use to take down the zinc plates, just like Paula said. Ethan was on his way out, when he suddenly hears footsteps approaching closer to the house he's in. Ethan quietly but quickly runs to the bathroom and lies down on the ground, behind the toilet, so that he can shoot the zombie or person on his leg. Ethan waits in patience as the footsteps enters the room. Ethan can see that it's a person as he sees the person shadows at the entrance door. Ethan waits a few more seconds when he sees that the person is hiding outside the door. A few seconds later, the person suddenly enters the room with his weapon in his hand, when the person sees Ethan hiding behind the toilet. "Ethan?" asks the voice. "Oh, Paula." Says Ethan with relieve in his voice, while he lower his gun. "What are you doing here?" asks Paula as Ethan stands up. "I'm searching the house, why?" asks Ethan. "Oh, because this is my last house to search." Says Paula. "But, I thought you took the houses that side." Says Ethan as he points with his finger on his left side. "No, you're suppose to do that houses." Says Paula. "Oh, sorry. I misunderstood then." Says Ethan. "It's ok." Says Paula. "Ok well let me go search that side then." Says Ethan as he walks to the door and go search his last four houses.

Susan is searching her last house. Sarah tries to open the door, but it is locked. "Wonderful." Says Susan as she steps to try and kick the door open. Susan steps about one meter away from the door, and then she runs to the door and kicks the door, but it doesn't open. "Oh, come on." Says Susan as she leans her shotgun against the wall, and steps back again. So Susan steps away about one meter, again and then she tries to kick the door open again, but it still doesn't wants to open. "Damn door." Says Susan and picks up her gun. She wants to look through a window to see if she can find a way in, but just as she wants to walk around the house, she hears zombies gnarling. She walks to the door to hear where it's coming from, and the zombie sounds was coming from inside the house. Susan steps back from the door and turns around. "SHIT!" says Susan with fright, when she sees Miranda in front of her. "Sorry, I didn't knew you get scared that easily." Says Susan. "Oh, so you did it on purpose?" asks Susan. "Kind of…" says Miranda and smiles. "Your asshole." Says Susan and laughs. "So what's the problem here?" asks Miranda as she sees the close door. "The door is locked, and now I'm trying to find another way in, but to only problem is that there's grabbers inside." Says Susan as she looks at the house. "Well I don't think there is another way in, except through the door." Says Miranda. "Yeah, I know, I just thought I'll take the chance." Says Susan. "Yeah these houses are ass." Says Miranda. "Well, it's only a movie set." Says Susan. "I guess." Says Miranda. "I tried to kick the door, but that didn't work." Says Susan. "Wait, I have an idea." Says Miranda as she walks to the door. "Wait where did you get that?" asks Susan as she sees the Tachi sword on Miranda's back. "Oh, I found this in one of the houses, they used real weapons as props, and this still looked pretty sharp, so I took it." Says Miranda as she takes the sword out of the scabbard. "Do you know what they call it?" asks Susan. "No, but all I know is that it's a type of Japanese sword." Says Miranda as she puts the sword back in the scabbard. "It's called a Tachi sword, it was one of the sword the officers used during the first World War." Says Susan. "I guess this is what the film was about, then." Says Miranda. "Yeah." Says Susan. "Ok, we should probably get back to work." Says Miranda as she turns around and flips her shotgun over so that the handle can be in front of her. Suddenly Miranda starts slamming the door handle with the shotgun's handle so that the lock can break. After about five hits on the door handle, the lock finally breaks off. "There we go." Says Miranda as she tries to open the door.  "Well done, Mrs. Einstein." Says Susan. "Oh, please." Says Miranda as she sees that the lock still doesn't wants to open. "It still doesn't want to open?" asks Susan. "Something is blocking it from the inside, if you can help me try to push the door open, it might work." Says Miranda, and she and Susan starts pushing the door.  Eventually they got the door open. "Damn desk." Says Miranda as she looks at the desk that blocked the door. "Oh god." Says Susan, as she stares at something. "What is i…" asks Miranda when she sees three zombies hanging from the ceiling. "Jesus." Says Miranda. "They hung themselves." Says Susan, when Miranda sees a letter on the floor. "We don't stand a chance in this world, we won't survive long, so we ended our lives before the dead does it for us" reads Miranda the letter. "How can people do such a thing?" asks Susan. "Well, they were only directors and producers, so I get what their saying." Says Miranda. "Well, they could have at least tried, I mean I'm only a babysitter, and look how far I've come." Says Susan. "You got a point I mean I paid people's bills." Says Miranda. "Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Says Susan.

Alexa, Jolene, Mark and Connor are still make small piles of zombies, and Nicole and Charli-April is still sleeping. "I'll be right back, I have to pee." Says Connor as he goes upstairs to the bathrooms. "Connor would like some water?" asks Mark. "Yeah, that'll be great, thanks" says Connor and goes upstairs. Mark goes to the cafeteria to get them some water to drink, when suddenly Charli-April starts to cry. "Oh, she probably wants her formula now." Says Jolene. "Yeah, Susan has everything in her room." Says Alexa. "Ok." Says Jolene and goes upstairs. Alexa also takes a break, and go help Mark.

"You need help?" asks Alexa as she enters the cafeteria. "No, babe, it's just four bottles of water." Says Mark as while he holds four bottles of water. "Ok, then." Says Alexa as she takes a bottle of water and turns around to go back to work. "Shit, hide." Says Alexa just before they leave the cafeteria. A strange man are heading his way to the hospital. "What's going on?" whispers Mark. "Someone is heading this way." Whispers Alexa. "What should we do?" whispers Mark. Alexa sigs as she stands up, and quickly gets out her gun and holds it in front of her, in position. "Don't move!" yells Alexa while she walks closer to the guy, while she also holds her gun. Suddenly the stranger gets out his gun too, and point it at Alexa. "Don't you fucking think about it!" says Mark as he also comes outside of the cafeteria pointing his gun at the stranger. The stranger puts his gun down, but that's it. "Now. Who the hell are you?" asks Alexa to the stranger while she still aims the gun at him.
