Rachael looked through the lockers, finding extra clothes, she put on a sweatshirt and some jeans. She then packed extra in a bag she found. There were a few water bottles and chips that she took as well. Then, she heard a knock on the door, it was soft and most of the noise was from the front. She whispered “Who is it?” so lowly, she thought that they may not hear.

“I'm...My name is Mark. Please, let me in. I haven't been touched by anyone and there isn't anywhere else to hide.” He whispered back.

Rachael made her way over, cautiously. She was grateful that she was wearing sneakers now. She peered through the door, making him show her that he wasn't bitten or anything. She then let him in. He was carrying a frying pan and some more things. Crackers and bread plus some peanut butter and more water. They both started filling bags in silence. She then looked around and saw an emergency fire ax.
