MARK:
Mark remembered that he was supposed to get water for everyone today. The carwash was not so far so he decided to check it out because if someone entered the bus he wouldn't be too far. Mark stepped outside the bus and started walking there. He made his way inside the transparent building.

When he walked inside he looked around to see that there was a bathroom. He decided to check it out and about five minutes later he found out it was fully functional and had a fresh roll of toilet paper, in fact it was cleanest thing in the entire town. If he had woken up in the bathroom instead of the bus when he got there, he would've never thought he was in an abandoned building. Outside of the bathroom the rest of the building was dingy, which struck Mark as odd.

He saw a control panel and he decided to randomly press a button. A huge buzzer like sound echoed across the town, it was a quick sound like if someone got a question wrong on a gameshow. Soon after the car wash started up and it was teeming with water. Mark had not bathed in a day and with no one around he decided this would be the perfect time. He ran back to the bus to get a change of clothes and ran back. Luckily the car wash had towels to wash cars and they were pretty fresh, even new Mark might say. Unlike the facility the carwash part of the building was not transparent. He took off his clothes and headed in to the car wash, the water was warm actually, almost perfect. This shower was the best thing Mark experienced since he got there. Luckily the hot wax wasn't on as Mark proceeded to the huge dryer that nearly blew him away. Mark put his towel on and walked around the facility, and was on his way to go back through the front door.

Tommy:
Tommy was caught off guard by a huge buzzer sound that he'd never heard. The reason for this is because the First Comers never messed around in those buildings. The First Comers believed that the buildings were maintained by the fog because every night the buildings would magically restock themselves with fresh food and supplies, so the First Comers never touched them out of fear. Tommy figured that he could not stay in this alleyway much longer so he picked up the sleeping Raine and headed towards the supermarket. He was planning on taking the shortcut he used earlier because he couldn't carry Raine through his normal route. Tommy was strong but, he wasn't strong enough to carry her that far even though Raine was quite skinny.

Tommy carried Raine across the street to see the carwash teeming with water. He passed it and headed through the supermarket quietly carrying Raine. He had seen that the others were already awake,so he did his best to sneak passed them and headed out the back door. Once he was outside he ran as fast as he could with Raine on his shoulders and headed towards Rick's mattress store.
