Looking for a sign of life
Who: Zach and Kieron
Where: SOHS
When: Later afternoon
Zach was having some serious issues when it came to the whole 'hunker down and hide' thing. Wasn't that he had some macho ego that needed to go out and tear a demon apart just to prove he could (and he was pretty sure that he could if he wanted to, he was feeling all high and mighty for whatever reason) it was more that there were way too many people here and none of them were looking at him or paying him even the slightest bit of attention. Most were settled down into their little groups, talking in hushed voices and looking towards the doors like they were afraid the legions of Hell were going to come bursting through at any minute, guns blazing. Or claws and fangs out since he had a hard time imagining a demon able to hold a gun and use it. Didn't they have weird hands or something? Whatever, he hadn't been close enough to one to tell and he didn't intend on changing that anytime soon. Tough or not he wanted to be in good health when school started back up in the fall.
Unlike most everyone else, he hadn't come with his family or his friends. The few friends that he actually had in Scarlet Oak were probably hiding in their basements with the blinds drawn but the power outage had ruined that for him. No way he could have survived a storm with the cold it brought without his sun lamp and at least the high school had power. Sighing, he stood up from his cot and stretched out, blue eyes scanning over the crowd to try and see a familiar face. One scan didn't reveal anything so he wove his way through the crowd to the storage room. So maybe he wasn't supposed to get in there but it was unlocked and no one tried to stop him. And there, right near the front, was what he wanted - the basketballs. Grinning, he picked one up and gave a few bounces. As crowded as the gym was, one of the side hoops was open so Zach took up a position near that and started shooting. Anything to keep him occupied and pass the time while the storm and demons raged outside.
