and outnumbering those left unturned.”
    “Do Aslin and Clary think that we should wait before trying and start taking those things out?”
    “Nope I don’t know neither of them have really said much about it. Once we made it to the house yesterday I think you might have noticed we were just happy to be somewhere and all were ok with a little down time.”
    “That guy you said Greg was his name right? Well he looked worse than any of you, what the hell happened to him?”
    “He might have had it worse than anyone yesterday if you don’t count finding out that your dad was in charge of the fall of western civilization as we know it of course.”
    “How did he have it worse?”
    “He had a zombie soldier chase him and had a bomb blast go off that probably effed up his hearing for a while. To top it off a girl was with us named Kristy and they seemed like they were getting friendly towards one another or at least could be going down that path. When we were trying to find Andy we had to clear the Turned from in front of his shop.”
    “So how did you lose Kristy?”
    “She was one of the fastest and the two of us ran through a building triggering a bomb that Clary set in a building on main street. If you saw a fireball or black smoke rolling into the sky that was us. A piece of the door turned into shrapnel and got embedded in her chest. The Turned that hadn’t gotten blown up by the blast caught up to her in the alleyway and well there was no hope for her.”
    “So did she change or Turn into one of those then?”
    “No, I couldn’t let that happen. I think it should be a law or something no one deserves to be one of those things. If one of those things bit me i’d be grateful for anyone who would put me out of my misery.”
    “Do you think they still feel pain?”
    “No I don’t but they definitely cause it. I’m glad you are coming with I think the more the better who knows how much crap we are going to find there. I think it’s better that we have the ability to bring back everything we need, if need be.”
    “Is it going anywhere?”
    “No but the way we’ve been losing people it seem safer that the farther we stay away from those things the better. No good ever comes of them being around. I gotta run up and change and i’ll be ready.”
    Shaun sprinted the stairs grabbing his bag and Greg’s and as he was headed back out of the room with a fresh pair of clothes on Ellie was leaning in the hallway. “Hey Shaun you got a minute?”
    He nodded setting down the backpacks. She pointed at them, “You know you're coming back right?”
    Shaun smiled nodding his head, “You know I am. You aren’t getting rid of me but we need more of everything if we are going to make a stand here, you and I both know that. Andy even said it and he’s the one who knows how much stuff we got here.”
    “I don’t like you leaving, everytime we go do one of these stupid things something bad happens. It was you dad, than it was Kristy, hell we lost all of the seals and they are trained for this shit. I mean what are we supposed to do its unorganized chaos at this point.”
                  “I don’t want to leave either Ellie.” Shaun brushed the hair from her eyes and gave her a soft kiss on her lips. “I’m coming back Ellie, i’m not going t let you go through with this on your own. We are going to be there together still when this is all said and done and i’ll do anything that it takes to make sure it stays that way.”
                  Ellie pulled him in for a hug and a gagging noise came distinct and loud followed by choking. Shaun lifted his head from her shoulder staring over at Greg both hands wrapped around his neck trying not to laugh. He said, “Don’t worry Ellie, I will come back for you. I won’t let you go through this alone. I promise you ellie.”
                  Shaun cut him off trying not to laugh because it would only make Greg lay it on thicker. “Dude
