Robert looking past the trees of the park and up for the first time sees the Empire State Building looking down on him. Sneaking past the walkway towards the entrance of the building the lack of zombies or blood becomes more obvious. Samuel's group meeting up again with Robert's both have an unusual look on there face. As they notice the droves of people sleeping and the lack of collisions on the street the word ghost town doesn't even begin to describe the odd sensation and scratch at the back of there heads as all there senses are confused by this calmness. The lack of sounds is so prevalent that Dark kicking a pebble past his feet can be heard by the entire group which warrants a side eye. That is until a few screams and sobs are heard as a woman can be seen cradling a sleeping child exiting the Empire State Building. She immediately walks towards the group as if possessed crying and screaming.

"Please"

Gasping as she says

"Help my child, Please Help him. He won't wake up. No one will. Not even my husband."

Breaking down as she speaks. Robert attempting to soothe her as Dark stealthy loots the bodies on the floor. Even though this may look horrible the whole group knows this is just the start of the apocalypses and even though they have just reason to murder all those "sleeping" they would prefer not to do it in front of this human. Well if that is the caution in there facade is prevalent realizing that she is awake when the others are not. Benjamin leaving one of the bodies that he has been inspecting approaches the woman to check.

"I am a doctor I will try to help."(Benjamin)

"NO, don't touch him. Get away from him you can't take him from me."

As in her confusion she pushes Benjamin away almost causing him to fall on the floor. Todd wordlessly lifts the metal poles that they have all seemed to wake up with and stops as he sees the signal from Robert and Samuel to stop.

"Hi, There my name is Robert. This is Benjamin. He is actually a really good doctor. Don't worry he will see what is wrong with your child just calm down."

"Hick* Okay,"

The moment Benjamin places his fingers on its throat to check its pulse she questions if he is okay not letting Benjamin be given any time to actually check if the child is okay or not. A minor vein twitches as even though he is sure he knows what is happening he goes through the motions. He halts and gives the lady an odd look.

"That's odd it seems he actually is sleeping, most likely in a coma."

"Oh no"(Lady) "Odd?"(Robert)

"Yes, it's odd because all these other bodies exhibit Catalepsy. The child though has normal breathing patterns and pulse that indicate that it is just asleep. That child is interesting." (The lust for research in Benjamins eye is noticed as he looks at the two people the same way an artist would an empty canvas, just waiting to defile and change it.)

Robert getting the hint and noticing the oddness attempts to think of a way to keep this bunch with them and to temporarily at least get there consent to do some tests. If it seems necessary though Robert is more than willing to be a bit more forceful. Adam and Jeremy are both oblivious to the world. Stumble out of the park somehow previously getting lost with a bag carried and filled by Adam and cuts and scrapes all over Jeremy.

"Hey Adam, remind me to ask Felicia when we see her in the building to patch me up. Benjy is a good doctor and all ,but he is more research than healing. Besides Felicia is so much nicer." (Jeremy)

"Ah, it seems we are interrupting. Something. Sorry for that. Hey boss, we are gonna go on ahead and look for Felicia if you need us just call us with the watches. Steven and David sent attachments to your watch that should allow us to talk. They set up in one of those tech stores. Darn near cleared the place of everything."(Adam)

The woman lifting her child back into her arms approaches Adam with her fanatical devotion to her child.

"Hey, you."

"Me?" (Jeremy) "Me?" (Adam)

The lady pointing towards Adam as if not noticing Jeremy.

"You said there is a doctor right? They can help my child right? Please take me to them. I have money." (Lady)

Robert is shocked at how Adam yet again just walks by and solves all his problems just sighs and Adam officially Invites the lady with him as they make there way towards the top of the building.

The lady doesn't notice that everyone didn't go in the elevator with her. For good reason to. If she did notice she would see the group systematically going around and murdering those on the floor. In the elevator with her are Adam, Jeremy, and Benjamin. Currently Robert and Co are taking the other elevators to the different floors and systematically murdering all the corpses they can find. Looking at the display on the elevators they realize currently they are the only ones using it.

"Hey I found a different one here."(Frank)

The reason for the shoutout is that they were able to find a body that wasn't in a death state. It is a quick, but tedious step of searching for the difference in each person in catalepsy (near death state) and sleeping (the rising and falling of the chest).

"Ooh. Can I keep it Rob please? Pretty please." (Benjamin)

Robert shuddering just ignores Benjamin and sends Frank to tie up and place the body in the elevator. The person they see is an adult male close to his late 30's dressed in business casual.

Currently with there fast pace and an elevator they have been able to quickly scope through 10 floors in the almost half an hour they have spent.

"Hey, we have visitors" (David says loud enough for all to hear on the 11th floor of the building.)

David can be seen working with Steven on the elevators and computers to redirect power and camera's there now bulky watches that they have made from the electronics store when they caught up on the 8 floor. The group semi crowds around the spot where the elevator that Adam and Jeremy took and wait for it to open prepared to either go back and finish the cleaning or to fight. Some members can be seen dragging and hiding bodies and the more bloodied parts under them.

As the door opens a chill can be felt come out of it as lo and behold.

"ROBERT"(5 Main kittens)

"Achk, Hi no need to run into me."(Robert)

"Where did you ladies wake up if you will? We were at the park towards the bottom floor.."(Samuel)

"Oh Sammy we were on the top floor. Making our way down. We had Katie by the elevator watching to see if something happened to them while we used the staff/express elevator we found to get us all down its faster and bigger."(Samantha as she scans the room)

"Seems we had the same thoughts in mind." (Samantha)

A woman can be seen not like the others walking out of the elevator with a pale green face seeming ready to puke at any moment. For some reason she follows them as Grace can be seen calming and explaining things to her.

"Where are the others? I don't see them anywhere?"(Robert)

"Sir they are at a higher floor making there way down with the others."(Katie)

"Okay well what is wrong with her?"(Robert)

The lady finally looking up and towards the group of males sees the one on the floor tied and a sleep and just starts running towards them while screaming.

"GARY!" (Lady)

Grace sighs as she approaches the lady who is becoming more and more of a train wreck and burden in the group's mind.

"WHY did you tie up my husband? You all are horrible people. Please just help my child and Husband leave them alone. I will do anything."

As the green hue goes away and is replaced by the morbid pale of resignation and acceptance. A few members look at her in confusion while they go back to there task of not looting but killing humanely and finding everybody they can.

"Emily we are not here to kidnap you. Listen it is just these people are sick and we have to put them out of there misery and for whatever reason you and those close to you are fine. Now please calm down these people are all infected remember what we showed you."

"But, these people are all bleeding red." (Lady)

Shana hearing that as her cue to action slowly smooches Robert one more time as she raises her hand and shadows seem to grip and spill out of the orifices of the fresh corpses.

Grace giving Shana a wink continues.

"See, the blood was never pure. It just looks pure for a bit. The people higher up just probably changed faster. Maybe it has to do with altitude and weaker resistance I don't know."

The rest of the ladies leaving Robert and now speeding up there movement of death continue making there way up through the floors. Now with both elevators they can be faster as they don't have to resend it to the previous floor every time. While Robert and Samuel slowly make a plan towards there future and what there base will be more concrete knowing that everyone is in the building. Dark can be seen betraying the brotherly creed and talking about the acronym incident to the motherly Anna. Slowly a jar is found and labeled then passed to Robert. Samuel and Robert can be seen both habitually putting there hands in their pockets to place a coin in the jar the only notice its empty and both chuckle as they quickly grab some loose change from the closest office table to put it in.
