He'd taken some time off earlier in the week. Spending it with his parents after... Everything that had happened. Rylee had wanted to see him but... He just couldn't. Not yet at least. Though they were planning on going out for drinks tonight. The whole parents being zombies and ... What had followed. Still had him pretty shaken honestly. He felt better today though and with that it was his first day back on the job. His boss had wondered what was going on, not in that angry you better get back to work way, but in that 'you never take time off, what the heck's going on, are you okay?' sort of thing. Zack had told him his parents were having some health problems and his boss hadn't gotten too far into it. Thankfully. Surely there were going to be questions later as to what exactly was going on and he'd have to lie a little. Zack hated lying, but he got that sometimes it was necessary. This was one of those times. How could you say 'hey my parents got turned into zombies and I had to kill them' without sounding at least a little insane, right?
Unlike his normal self, the one who liked listening to the world around him, Zack had bought an Ipod and brought it with him while traveling. His normally mix of R&B and pop blaring in his ears while he made his way towards the school. Rihanna, Salt N' Pepper, TLC, Mya and Aaliyah all the way. Not that he was about to share all that with any stranger walking by. Zack's taste in music was... Well, his guilty pleasure. Plus he liked pretending that the women were singing about him (in the good songs at least). Like "Whatta Man". He liked thinking he was the man they were singing about.
Now though, he was needed at the school. Had they had to deal with the death's of their classmates and their friends? A pang was felt in his heart. A piece of him still felt a little hard, a little cracked... But he was mostly back to functioning at this point. Besides work needed to be done. Someone in the school was in need of pipe repair and that's what he was needed for.
Making his way out of the hub, Zack marched him self through the campus, using the directions he had been given and gaining access to the dorm went up to the room in question. Checking his tool box and making sure his badge was placed proper he took a deep breath. Okay, first day back at work, you can do this. With the small pep talk he knocked that the door.
