"All good!" Josh replied cheerfully, poking his head over the top of the display of batteries he was stocking his backpack with. He emerged with a bag full of supplies, and glanced at Vic's arms to see what he'd managed to scrounge up. "Are we missing anything else other than oven mitts? That's the only thing I couldn't find."
After Josh finished adding all his finds to his bag, he pulled out his map and marked off where they were, as well as the Target they'd driven past to get to the dollar store in the first place. There were lots of places to find the things you needed if yuo were just a little creative with where you looked. But even some of the larger chain stores weren't completely out of useful items. The virus had spread fast enough that a lot of the time, people hadn't had a lot of time to drive to the store to stock up on necessities. And whoever was left for the gas, well, no one wanted to venture out into that without a hazmat suit on.
Then Josh heard a clatter towards the back of the shop, and immediately put a finger to his lips before starting to back out of the store. "Let's go," he mouthed. They had other places to go, and dealing with a walker would just be a really annoying inconvenience.
