"You've gotta be joking me." I say looking out the window. "We aren't kidding you Honest." Shroobz comes up behind me and places a hand on my shoulder. "If this is your idea of a sick joke then it's not funny!" I turn around and point at the other man behind Shroobz. "Please, as if I would make a joke like this right now. It's not fun to see your co-worker drop dead." His voice raised, starting to get annoyed and sits down on the couch. "Be lucky Shroobz brought you a mask. I would have let you die." He grumbles as Shroobz turns his head towards him. "Don't say that Syce. Plus, aren't I the one who gave you a spare mask as well? I could've let you crumple to the floor like a piece of paper." Syce rolls his eyes and fiddles with the remote, taking out the batteries and stuffing them in his pocket. He already took the electrical box fuse as well. The batteries were the same for a flashlight and the fuse was for an electrical box. Just in case we went somewhere and stayed. "What do we do then?!" I shout at him as Shroobz faces me again. "Well we need to leave the area of course. I reckon we try and call Laff as soon as we find an area to stay. One with service and power." I scoff, "Have you seen this city? I reckon there's no power anywhere-"

In the background there was a inhuman scream and a woman's scream. It also sounded weirdly like the ripping of flesh. Syce looked towards the door and got up. "Don't open the door." Syce glares at me from across the room before taking a quick peek outside. He instantly shuts it and locks it. "I would recommend leaving now." He says and starts to take out a pocket knife. "What happened?" Shroobz asked opening a window for escape. Aren't I glad this is just a one story house. "Something bloody that I don't want to be a-part of." He chuckles at what seemed to be a joke. Shroobz seemed to sort of get it though, "Honest, hop out the window. We'll meet you there in a second." I start climbing out and look back inside watching as Shroobz walks to his bag, grabbing it. Syce seems to have whispered something to him but I couldn't hear it. They returned at the window and climbed out meeting me. "Let's head north." Shroobz says looking at a compass he got from his pocket.

"You know directions?" Syce asks chuckling, "I knew the way to your mom's house." Syce frowns at Shroobz who was snickering.
"What's with it with you and 'your mom' jokes?"
"What's with you and dark humor?"

"It's hilarious. Who knows? Maybe everybody will drop dead at my jokes."
