It was midday, the office in the supermarket was of medium sized and the light lit the room. The window had a metal mesh to prevent any would be thief's, there were two more windows, one sided glass window that looked out to the dark floor and one on the door that led in to the corridor that connected it to the shop floor. The shelf were long empty, all that was left was worthless junk, but a small beams of light dimly lit a patch of the floor and left too may dark spots. Then there was the stairs at the end of the corridor which Holly could only guess led up to the first floor.
From the back office, Holly worked away through the files trying to find that pot of gold of information and reap the rewards for her next run. She knew it was a long shot, but chances were some of the mangers or staff may of took the supplies home and all so addresses of suppliers may help.
Marcella was in the loading bay out back keeping the pickup safe from would be thief's, hidden behind a semi truck and trailer and as quiet as a mouse. Every once in a while she'd hit her radio button to say still alive'.
Every once in a while Holly stood up and took a walk around the office to stretch her feet. She had been in the office for about an hour and was pretty much pleased with the progress she had made. She would of had Marcella helping, but she needed someone to watch the truck. Finally she decided she had enough, grabbing the address and bits of information relevant she began to pack it into her bag.

Ethan and Jon were leading the group away from the hoard of walkers that they had encountered at the school, they were grabbing the food and medical supplies that was in the nurses office and kitchen when they noticed a walker come from one of the classrooms, then another and another till they were beginning to get overwhelmed so Jon led them into the gym where there were sleeping bags, stretchers and UV bags lined up, some were knocked over or crooked and not lined up with the rest, there were a few walkers but nothing they couldn't get pass, they avoided them walking across the other side of the gym when arias water had broke, she stood still and looked down as she felt her legs and feet get wet
"oh no not now" she said to herself before belting out a shriek as she could feel the baby coming, behind her was marcus and ashley, and before jon could turn around marcus had already picked her up and was walking with her, Jon then lead them across the gym and outside the double metal doors that led to the front of the school, there were a few cars but none of them worked, ben had already tried to start them and was waiting outside for them
"none of these work were--" he cut himself off as he saw the walkers following behind them, they then ran across the parking lot that was located in front of the school and jon shot a few that were in front of them as they ran across the street to the shopko parking lot that had only a truck and a flipped semi, they seen another hoard coming from the right the gunshots must have attracted more, they rushed inside and ethan and jon tried to block the doors with a shelf but were to slow, meanwhile marcus had already gone to the back and kicked the door opening it, ashley followed behind him carrying sarah and in the front of the group was ben, behind him jon and ethan, they made there way all the way down the corridor and ben opened the door only to see more walkers before he could close the door one of them grabbed his ankle and bit him, jon shot the walker and threw bens arm around him then opened the door to the managers office and aimed his gun down at holly as she was crouched shoving something into her backpack ashley closed the door
"whats that? why did you even come here? are you really dumb enough to think there would still be something useful in a supermarket?" people was the last thing he wanted to find, he hated people the more people there were the more broken the group gets, and this one was broken enough

Gunshots, Clear as day, they were gunshots and followed my Marcella's voice over her ear piece.
" You got incoming," Marcella said in a low tone.
With a tap of her earpiece, Holly responded in a low cockney tone," Stay were you are and remain out of sight, stay were you are sweetie."
As Holly pushed the last piece of paper into her bag, the door opened, her shotgun lay upon the desk and out-of reach. She was sure she'd reach the gun, but unsure if she'd manage to let off a shot and survive the day. Watching the group with her full attention she held her hands out and did no sudden moves.
" I have mouths to feed," her eyes locked on to the person holding the gun as she replied with an aggressive tone,[/b]" So forgive me if I don't share my secrets. There's no profit in just given information away."[/b]
Holly's eyes quickly locked on to Arias, from the look she seem ready to push anytime soon and with infected outside the door she was not in the best of spots. Her view was that you had to be an idiot to have a baby in the oven when on the move, let alone on the run when ready to pop.
" Second point, you want to be careful who you call dumb, cause I'm not the forgive type," Still her eyes stayed focused on the person holding the gun." Now help your little oven down, now unless you want guests keep out of view of the windows and stay quiet."

Jon lowered his gun as he knew it wasnt the time for this, and he knew as well as she did he would need everyone he could get to get out of here alive, Marcus contemplated just killing ben, it would be fast easy and it would stop him from turning, marcus began shouting
"hes already to much of a liability what if hee-" jon interrupted him "shut the fuck up Marcus"
"we should just kill him now!" "shut the fuck up, didnt you hear her?" he stayed quiet but made sure in his tone that marcus knew how serious he was "if you dont youll get us all killed"
Jon tried to think about what to do, he couldnt deliver a baby, he didnt know a way out of here, he was lost...
Ashley stood by Ethan at the door "what now?" she looked to Jon thinking he'd have an answer but he froze, he put his gun in his holster realizing that this is the end, he backed up into the wall and sank to the floor, bringing his knees by his chest he put his arms around his knees and rested his head on his arms, ashley looked at the knew girl then to ethan "well... anyone?"
Marcus put aria down on the carpet floor, then looked at the girl "uhh, help?" you could hear the panic and fear in his voice even though he tried to hide it
Holly raised her arms out to her side as if welcoming them and then gave a bow just to show off. She'd be lying to say she wasn't a bit scared, only a fool wouldn't be, the only difference was at this point in her life it had become a regular event and one she was sure she'd live to tell the tail about.
" Names Holly and I'm at your service, " she said with a hint of sarcasm," Consider this as a favor one of you owe me now. Plus when done, I take half your inventory also as payment," With a devilish smile Holly continued," I'v got mouths to feed and that's the price of making a living."
Reaching slowly into her bag Holly took out a bottle of water and approached the pregnant woman. It was if anything strange to see a pregnant woman again, very strange and this was one event Holly was unsure of.
" OK listen up all, I have a way out of here, A truck out back...", A whispering voice came over Holly earpiece,
" Holly I'm lying down in the back of the pickup, there everywhere and if I move I think they'll notice me."With them words from Marcella, Holly approached the problem head on and wasn't too happy having her pickup out of action for the present moment. Least of all losing the advantage on taking half there stuff.
" OK if we stick here, your friend will give birth and we'll be stuck here for the night. To make things worse she'll be at risk to who know what." Holly hadn't wanted to mention Sunrise but saw little choice as this stage," or you can get her to my truck which has enough power to put these fuckers ten feet under. This building is long out of use, it's damp and parts of the walls are rotten."
(Feel free to be Aggressive to Holly if need be, as I don't mind)

"ok, ok whatever you need" marcus was scared, "names marcus" he just lost everything he had to live for before finding something else to live for, aria...' he loved her and he also was going to love their baby, he hated hurting jon but aria chose marcus not jon its not his fault hes not the bad guy here... right?'
"names ethan by the way" "so how do we get out of here and to your truck?" ethan asked as he turned and looked up at the windows, 'they were to high to small to get aria through and he wasnt about to leave a pregnant lady, ethan then turned back towards holly and jon who still had his head buried in his arms "dont you get it were not getting out of here, this is what happens when your group gets to big, and to broken, people die and i knew that and i... i still kept going we shoulda just left when we had the chance" jon said looking at ashley
"no its not, you've got out of the same type of situations before right holly?" ethan could tell she had been through alot, but doesnt know for sure if she can get them out of here
Ashley could see the same look in hollys eyes that was in craytons, she wasnt telling them something, something about her? where she came from, who she is? whatever it was it didnt matter at the moment as they already had to many problems at the moment "ashley" she said as she glared at holly, there was just... something she didnt like about her,
Taking her jacket off, Holly placed it under the pregnant girls head, she had a plan and still felt sorry for the woman been pregnant. She still could not rap her head around it. Why would an idiot get someone pregnant.
" Yes, I have,"Holly said in a casual tone, " But that's a story for over a drink, till then let's focus on getting out of here." This was nothing compared to the hordes she had saw, the horrors of what a horde could do against living still gave her nightmares and probably would till the day she died. Brushing those images aside Holly opened her bottle water and poured a drop in to the lady's mouth.
" Now relax and just think happy thoughts,"Holly said as she stood up moving to door. She knew the only way out was back out the door, but once out side there main problem would be the infected and trying not to get bit. She held her shotgun gun out to the nearest person, " OK two of us are going to travel light, so just your knifes or swords when we open the door. I'll need you two to just kill what's around the door just to give us breathing room and wait for us to return. Till then hold your ground and cross your fingers. We'll jam the door to the shop floor open to lead them away. " As Holly gave herself a quick stretch, one things bugged her and another she had forgot to say," Now remember close this door as soon as we leave and wait for us to return. Second who is the moron to get the Las pregnant on the move."
(If you want to take lead, go ahead as its OK to take us out the door)

Marcus on his knees by aria, grabbed the shotgun and held it against his chest as he stood up and faced the door, "things were different then, if we knew then what we know now, things would be alot different" he said as he looked at jon
Ethan put his pistol in its holster and took his knife out of its sheath, he then got ready for holly to open the door, but before she could jon got up and said "i got another plan" as he pushed Holly out of the way before opening the door stabbing a few that were in the doorway making sure they landed outside of the doorway rather then in it, he then turned toward the door that was at the end of the corridor and proceeded down the stairs leading them in the other direction a few however were trying to get inside the room straying away from the main group that was headed down the stairs, ethan stabbed another in the head and ripped the knife out of its skull before repeating this again
Marcus sank his knife into a couple and closed the door as ethan moved with holly through the corridor there were to many between the shelves that they ran through before, ethan then followed holly to the right and through the section where the meats were, he covered his nose as he couldnt bare the stench of rotten meat, once they had made it to the metal double doors he followed holly outside to the loading bay where the truck is, he then grabbed the bed of the truck near the back window and put his knife in its sheath before putting his foot on the tire and pulling himself up and onto the bed of the truck, he smiled a little as he grabbed the handle of the .50 cal and began shooting at the geeks,
Jon lead them down stairs where they had everything stored away before the outbreak, he grabbed his flashlight from his belt and flicked it on as he proceeded to the nearest window, he climbed up on a box and tried to open it but it was locked, he then took his gun from its holster and hit the window breaking it, but also cutting his hand, he then climbed out and was back in the parking lot, on the other side of the loading bay where holly and ethan were he then heard the gunshots 'they must have made it'
Ben lay on the ground still wincing from the pain that had taken over his leg once he had been bit, marcus grabbed his hatchet and sank it into his face, Shocked ashley looked at him as she put her right hand on the gun still holding sarah in her left arm, "why we were gonna make it, HE was gonna make it" she was angered by what he had just done "no you dont know that, and if we ended up trapped in here, if they dont make it to the truck he would have tur-" "it wasnt your call" they then sat there for a couple minutes before hearing the gunshots
As Holly was pushed out of the way of the door, Marcus went out the door in Holly's view as an unplanned lunatic and just looking for trouble. Two seconds behind him Holly kept swinging her machete taking out the Walkers one by one. These were the ones that had followed them in and now had her been babysitter. A small window gave little light, just enough to see the figures and helped with the escape out the door. But the problem was the back door that had been left open and attracted walkers in by Marcus's group. But she had a plan. The back door was too packed with walkers to even attempt to reach with a gun, ammo was tight as it was for her and she was sure there group was in the same boat or she guessed at best. Still Holly knew she needed to stay focused as she made her way on to the store floor.
When Holly had first entered the store, she had done her best to avoid the floor as much as possible and not to get surprised by walkers. A few windows around the building were broken for a number of years from her best guess and it was these windows that left the floor a death trap. As she passed through the store she knocked over a number of items to make as much noise as possible and as planned walkers began to follow. Halfway through the store floor she pushed a shelf over to make as much noise as possible and when the shelf hit the floor the bang echoed through the store now gaining all the walkers attentions.
Once she reached the car park, she froze in horror of the sight of so many walkers approaching and clearly things were going down hill quick. She pointed to her truck which had a small group around it and Marcella lying down in the back hiding.
" That's my truck," Holly said as she was still captivated by the approaching horde, pulling herself away, she ran to the walkers around her truck and swung her machete. As the numbers dropped Marcella jumped from the back of the pickup with a smile and straight away gave Holly a hug.
" Thank you I...."right as Marcella began to talk a THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP rang out. Holly froze in horror at the sight, as Marcella changed her words and spoke in a casual tone to Marcus " O your fucked now stranger."
With in a split second Holly was on the back of the pickup with her hand on Marcus's collar, with one pull and kick to the back of his knee she slammed him hard against the back window of the truck.
" What the fuck,"Holly screamed with rage," Who gave you the right to maul my goods," grabbing his chin, Holly put her face into his and spoke in a low hostile voice " Touch my stuff again and I'll knife you here and now. You moron just wasted half my ammo with your stunt, now get your fucking friends so we can get the fuck out. " Grabbing the 50.cal she spoke to Marcella," Marcella line me up with the back door,"
Marcella jumped into the driver seat and lined Holly up with the door. No sooner lined up did Holly let off her 50.cal ripping in to those left and then she stopped.

Jon then grabbed his knife from his sheath and walked around to the loading bay and stabbed a few before holly pushed Ethan to the side almost causing him to fall off the bed of the truck, "i got it" Jon said as he went inside and back through the corridor where Ashley Marcus aria and Ben were, seeing Ben in a puddle of blood he then looked between Marcus and Ashley "its clear come on" he said in a calm, distracted voice before leading them out to the truck,
Marcus picked up Aria and followed them outside to the truck "please tell me you have somewhere to go" Marcus asked looking up at holly who was still in the bed of the truck, Jon grabbed a pack of cigs from his pocket and took one out and put it in his mouth as he grabbed his lighter out of his left pocket and lit it inhaling the smoke he leaned against the front end of the truck he then tucked the lighter back in his pocket
Slowly the horde was growing closer and closer. The noise of a prolonged moan filled the ears, enough to send shivers down even the bravest of people and the sluggish walk didn't help.
" That was the easy part," Holly said in a hostile tone towards Marcus,[/b]" We don't have the ammo to stick around, were going to have to go head on in to the horde and shoot are way through them. The other way we'll hit bandits and savages. "[/b]
Holly opened the back door in the pickup to help Aria in to the back and as she lied her down on the back seat Holly pointed to Ashley and then into the back seat.
" Get in the back and help her,"Holly didn't ask, she command. Her attention then turned to Ben as her eyes looked straight into his," I'll need all able hands with a weapon in there hands, as for you, take his leg off or put him down. I'd decide quickly before he loses more blood."
Holly had hoped that maybe they would of decided what to do with him already, take his leg off or put him down. As she waited she realised they'd no time to spare. Reaching into the back of the pickup cargo bed she pulled out some string and a cloth.
" We have five minutes,"her eyes once again turned back to him," Time is against us and I'v decided I ain't waiting. So hold him down, get him to bite on the cloth." As tight as she could Holly tied the string just below the knee.

Before Holly could begin severing the leg Marcus took his hatchet out and swung it over his head sinking it into Bens face "hes gonna get us killed" Marcus said in a aggressive tone as he ripped the hatchet out and put it back in his belt, Jon then took his Magnum out and aimed it at marcus as he contemplated killing Marcus right then and there, 'what if it had been Him that was bit? what if it was me, or Ashley...'Jon thought to himself as Marcus turned and glared at Jon as he noticed Jon aiming the weapon at him "If you aim that at me you better pull the trihh-" "We aint got time for this shit!, you two better quit your bickering, We kinda got bigger problems at the moment!" Ethan interrupted Marcus "lets go!" Ashley said from inside the truck as she noticed the hoard drawing closer, she had picked up Arias head and rested it on her leg and still had Sarah in her arms, "hurry!"
Jon then put the gun back in its holster and climbed in the passenger seat and rolled the window down, Ethan climbed into the back of the pickup and sat on the right side of the bed and drew his pistol, "I got 12 rounds left" he said as he checked his clip counting the bullets, "Eight" Jon said as he loaded the last of his .44 rounds into his revolver
Holly straight away rooted quickly through Ben's pocket's for anything of use, jacket, belt and shoes were just a hand full of items she took. Throwing the items in to the back bed Holly jumped up and checked her own ammo. There soap opera was beyond her concern, if they killed each other it was on there heads and she wasn't getting involved.
" Fuck all myself too on ammo," she said as her eyes watched the growing horde," OK make every shot count, when we get going, were going to hit them head on and I need you two to keep them off the truck."
With three taps on the hood the pickup began to move,
" When we hit them, some will get flung into the air on to the truck, one of you grab a machete and use it to keep them off us by hand." With deep breathing Holly focused on the situation at hand," As for the second, when I stop firing the 50.cal I want you with your gun to keep them from getting in front of the wheel. A horde like this will cling under the wheel and the last thing we need is to come to a stop. "
The pickup increased speed, as it approach the car park entrance and hit two infected head on sending them to the side of the road. But the horde had already took to the road and begun blocking there escape. With the small groups Holly let the pickup knock them to the side, but as the horde thickened Holly released the full power of her 50.cal upon the infected and cut them down like butter. She aimed for only those ahead of the pickup and each bullet went through one after another. The pickup slowed as it approached a number of vehicles it had to weave through and left them open with in reach of the infected. Letting go of the 50.cal she reached for sidearm and begun to fire.
(One more post from you and we'll move this on to main tread)

Once Marcus had climbed into the bed of the truck, still having his Axe in his right hand he sat on the left side "Fuck all myself too on ammo" Holly said as Marcus used his hatchet to fight off the walkers that were coming from their left, while Ethan was fighting off the walkers to his right He had his pistol in his right hand "OK make every shot count, when we get going, were going to hit them head on and I need you two to keep them off the truck" the truck began moving, "When we hit them, some will get flung into the air on to the truck, one of you grab a machete and use it to keep them off us by hand" when it hit the hoard three had been flung, one over the Hood of the truck hitting the windshield cracking it, the other two into the bed of the truck, Ethan then stomped on its head as Marcus sank his Axe into the other
Ethan then grabbed the Machete and swung it and cut one of the walkers head off as Marcus kicked one off the side of the truck, Ethan then shot the few that were coming from behind the truck as Marcus Hit another with his Axe, They were getting overwhelmed, fast, but then Holly had begun firing ahead, Making it Manageable for Marcus and Ethan, Marcus protected their left while Ethan protected their right, They worked together on the few that were behind them, they then sped off and continued down the street.
"Well, that was fun" Ethan said sarcastically as they sped off
