Pollux threw down his bag as he staggered into the warehouse. He asked, "Anyone hurt?"

" Just a few scratches nothing more." Zoe brushed some imaginary dust off her shoulder, and wondered around the base. Many things were running through her mind right now and she was not able to concentrate." How about you guys, are you ok?"
language
Cash, his sides feeling as if they are splitting, stumbles. His knee, hits the ground first, painfully. The majority of his weight lands on his hands as they hit the ground. He looks up, breathing hard at the moment, and spots the first Infected corpse. He looks around, his breathing picking up again at the sight. Zombie bodies, a whole bunch of them. In the background, a warehouse.
'Gotta be it.' He thinks, getting to his feet, staggering a bit. He holds his backpack tight against his back by the straps, and is ready with his bat in the other hand. He avoids the corpses, guts spilling out all over, like…well, like what they are: the Plague.
He spots one zombie lying prone without its head. He raises his eyebrows, impressed.
He swallows nervously and taps on the warehouse door, ready to sprint if these guys aren't welcoming any into their rag tag company.

"Go clean out the wounds," Pollux ordered, "Even the smallest scratch can get infected." He heard a tapping on the door and turned that way nervously.
language
Unsure, Cash clenches the muscles in his jaw and taps again, just a little louder this time. His body is tense, leaning more towards the 'flight' in fight-or-flight.
group
"Who's there?" Pollux shouted through the door. He knew zombies couldn't talk, so this would certainly tell him whether or not to act.

" Its called Earth scratches, dude." Suddenly, there were rapid taps on the door. About every single eye in the room landed on the door. Someone was there, someone they didn't know. The only problem was, are they going to kill us? Anxiety filled Zoe was Pollux slowly made his way to the door.
language
'Oops. Sounds like you wanted to get your head blown off, Cash.' Cash swallows and then says. "I'm un-Infected."
What else should he say? 'Hey, mind if I pop in for a Cola?'
group
Pollux opened the door and pulled Cash into the warehouse. He slammed the door behind him.

The ADHD was really starting to kick in as Pollux opened the door. Every sense suddenly came alive as slowly POllux opend the door, creak, by.. creak. Sweats trailed down her back.. the smell of the infected was strong… then he opened the door.

She saw Cash as Pollux pulled him into the warehouse. " Wait, what are you doing here? We thought you already fleed the fight?" Zoe's body relaxed as she samk back down in the chair. This was about to get interesting.
language
His high-strung nerves slam him into defense mode, and Cash roughly pushes whoever pulled him in away from him. That was either a helpful move, or they mean to kill him.
group
Pollux stumbled backwards, then lunged back towards the door to double-check that it was locked. He said, "Calm yourself! I was trying to help."

Zoe kicked her feet up on the table. Cash pushed away Pollux and looked like he was going to murder someone. " Hey Cash, welcome back from the dead." Zoe said in amusement. The more she studied him, she knew he was going to be a valuable ally.
(Is there still time to join?)
language
(Yeah, join in, @Ca1iCa1! @Nerd_Girl2.0, be careful about certain things. You couldn't know my name yet.")
Cash tries to even his breath. He nods, slightly lowering his bat, his grip still tight on the handle. "Sorry."

Zoe stood up and went over. She offered him her hand. " You look like you've been running for awhile. You should rest." She guided him to the chair and offered her ramon noodles and water bottle. " Well, what brings you here stranger."

( Didn't you say it before the fight began?)
group
Pollux still stood several steps away as he looked at Cash. "Do you have any injuries?"
language
Cash accepts the food gratefully, holding up a hand in refusal of the water, waiting to dig in a moment long enough to answer the girl's question. "Uh, same reason as you, I guess." He tucks his backpack under the chair. "Trying to survive."

In the process, Zoe offered him some bandages while he ate the noodles. " Can't afford to kick you out after all you've been through." Zoe smirked at her comment.
language
(I don't remember. We can pretend I did if not. Yay, ya'll know my name.)
Cash realizes the kid who pulled him in also asked a question. "Oh, no. Nothing by them." The 'them' meaning the Infected.

( Hold on, I've gotta BRB.)

"I know, but the plague spreads through body fluids, so if you have open wounds, there is the risk of infection. It's just a good idea to make sure that you keep your wounds clean in general. That goes for all of you," Pollux said, "I know I probably sound like I'm nagging, but it's all true. I was actually shadowing at a lab towards the beginning of the outbreak. I know a good bit."
language
"It's mostly bruises and all that. Everything else has healed over." Cash sets his empty noodle carton on the ground by his feet. He holds up his hands, displaying the pale, small scars scattered across them, most of them clustered on his palms. "These kept me awake from worry the whole time they were healing. You get a lot of the Infected blood on your hands, you know? I had to hide out while I waited for them to close over."
He reaches for his bat again, not wanting to lose it. "I'm careful."
group
"Good to know," Pollux replied, relieved, "As long as you're taking precautions and everything, you should be fine."
language
Cash nods. "So….I'm Cash. Who are you guys?"
group
"Pollux," he answered without hesitation.
