Rex picked his way through the wreckage that was left of the store. It was a mess. His head throbbed from the days exertion, but he forced himself to focus on the task at hand.

He found a camo jacket and threw it on over his scrubs. He felt the material, it was thick, probably tough enough to stop the teeth of one of those creatures out there from making a meal out of him. He contined his search turning over a fallen shelf. "Bingo!" He exclaimed in an excited whisper. He drew the long metal bat from the mangled display case and twirled it around in his hand. "This will work perfectly."

He found some heavy tape and a whole rack of energy bars near the cash registers and he scooped them into his backpack that he had kept the medical supplies he managed to smuggle out from the hospital. He unwrapped one of the bars and took a satisfying bite.

Just then He heard a crash from the other side of the store follwed by a muffled yelp. His hair stood on end as he held his beath straining to hear any further sign that the girl was alright.

A moment later she called out to him, he breathed a sigh of relief and answers back in a whisper. "Yea I got some stuff we can use"

He headed back toward her voice and then froze. Six silhouettes stood in the entryway of the store rambling in an errie shuffle. Panicky Rex searched for another exit to no avail. His grasp tightened on his bat and he gritted his teeth, "We have company!" He called to the girl as loudly as he dared, and he prayed that she heard him..... And that they didn't.
