OSCAR ALONE II

The sun now has started to rise up high into the sky. The 3-man team starts to move out, Marcus went to the pharmacy himself as he knows what are the medicines needed, while the other 2 headed to the Sheriff's office. The town itself looks empty as they walked around the different areas that they are exploring. Josiah and Oscar looks through the glass door, and it seems to be empty. Oscar opens the door a little bit but the stench was bad.

Oscar immediately closed the door as soon as he smelled it.

"That's bad"

"Yep... well"

Josiah slid his backpack down and grabbed a bottle of alcohol, he grabbed 2 bandanas and dabbed a bit of alcohol on one of the side. The 2 put the dry side on their mouth and nose, they used this as to not feel too nauseous. The smell of the alcohol was not overpowering that might cause it to distort their senses. They opened the door and the stench has become more weakened and bearable. Josiah noticed how the door won't stay open.

"We need to prop this door"

"Oh yeah... wheel"

They went to the light truck tires without the center bore, they start to drag it towards the door. They stood it up and rolled it slowly, Oscar opened the door and Josiah laid the tire flat in between the door. Oscar got in and it seems to be empty, it is ruined like every place that they have seen. Josiah follows through and he points out the obvious. They slowly start to walk around the building and sees the detention center with dead people, which explained the stench.

They continued to walk around the building as they checked everything. Josiah comes by a 3 walkie-talkies, he turns it on a speaks through 1 and he hears himself. He throws 1 to Oscar, and speaks through it.

"Nice"

Josiah continued to walk down the hallways and looked through every rooms, the building seems to be empty. He finally finds the armory and the door is locked, he tries to push it but it does not seem to budge. He tries a few more times and the noises startled Oscar, he follows on where Josiah went and he sees him pushing himself to the door. Oscar waited until Josiah notices him, his presence was enough to scare the old man. 'Don't do that please!' Josiah screamed at him, Oscar only laughed as a response.

'Its locked' Oscar tried on the doors first then shakes it vigorously.

"Told y-"

Oscar pushes then kicks the door open completely breaking the rusty door knob. Josiah just have a straight face as a reaction to what Oscar just did. 'Age?' Oscar asked with a cocky tone, Josiah stared at him and walked into the armory. He looked through the room and finds 7 tactical duffle bags, he checks all of it and only 2 of those are useful as the others have been bitten by rats. The 2 immediately starts to round up as much guns and ammo that the bag can carry.

They managed to pack over 5 rifles and 3 pistols each with over 30 pounds, they slowly got out of the building, across the street they see a dozen of the dead waling around. Instead of going after them they followed the door eastward to find Marcus who is in the pharmacy. Marcus is already in there and he seems to not be able to find his way to the and the medicine is behind the closed counter door. The rust makes it hard for it to be lifted up, Marcus struggles trying to pull it up. The shelves are also stripped clean of anything.

He searches every nook and cranny of the room just to find anything, he gave up and then headed to the staff room. He pushed it a few times and something is definitely blocking the door, he then tried to kick it but then again something is behind it. Everything he does to the door becomes is useless, he starts to get angry and starts banging on the door. He then stepped away and a faint dragging sound can be heard behind the door.

After a minute or so a loud bang is emitted behind the door he was mad at. Marcus walks close to the door and waited for the bang, nothing. He then closes his ear on the door and a bang came before his ear can make contact. It startled him and he immediately pulled out his machete. He starts to shake on his boots as he aimed the sharp side of his weapon to the door.

"MARCUS IS THAT YOU?!"

"Oh, YEAH ITS ME! YOU GUYS ARE ON THE STAFF ROOM, OR AUTHO- CAN YOU GUYS MAKE YOUR WAY BEHIND THE COUNTER?!"

"Yeah, YEAH! KEEP A LOOKOUT WILL YOU?!"

Oscar and Josiah has made their way to the backdoor of the pharmacy, they were also startled by the banging that they heard and the grunting that came from Marcus. Josiah and Oscar starts to look for another way into the counter behind. They also have tried everything they can but the door is shut closed, the locks seems to be harder than what they have expected.

"We need something to pry it open"

"A crowbar?"

"Yeah, that will work in our favor"

"We passed by a mall earlier, they might have some tools we can use to open this"

The 3 got out of the building and regrouped outside of the Pharmacy. The 3 of them went back to their camp as the sun starts to sink itself in the horizon. They all distributed their guns among the 3 so that they can move much quickly. As the sun sunk deep into the horizon the dead starts to walk outside to the town, looking for anything that they can sink their teeth into. They arrived at their camp and everything is in good condition, they all start distributing guns and loaded it with bullets.

As they are checking the conditions of the guns and filling up magazine, from their small little camp they can hear echoing gunshots behind them. It came from Abingdon, Josiah immediately extinguished the fire and they all lay down on their stomach. In front of them a militia of sort drives in front of them. Even though it was just for a split second Oscar sees a familiar image on one of the trucks.
