While Fredrinn and others was busy interacting with the high schoolers and looking for bus, everyone back in the storage room were panicking.

Christine and other infected were barricaded off behind the shelves as they stared at the others angrily.

Jacob was in charge of the group.

Andrea and Rhea were on a cardboard bedding, Naomi sitting closely as she looked down at her phone and turned it off. It was running out of charge and although she found a power bank earlier, it wasn’t infinite either.

She turned to glance at the short and busty brunette, "I don’t think any of us introduced ourselves properly."

Andrea turned to glance at the black haired slim and petite beauty. She smiled, which was difficult to tell if it was fake or real as she said, "Indeed. I am sorry about that, I just haven’t been feeling like myself ever since these... zombies happened, you know?"

Naomi nodded, sighing in understanding, "Yeah... I can understand and relate to your emotions. I thought calling everyone I know might help, but it achieved no results."

Andrea chuckled, "Well, at least your call became the reason that Fredrinn came here. I am not sure about what our lives would be if he didn’t come."

"Oh..." Naomi paused, imagining that scenario.

Even if Fredrinn didn’t come, Max and their group would’ve come due to Christine. And the plan to go to Ohio would’ve been the same.

If the plan would’ve been unchanged, there is a high chance that the unchosens would’ve still betrayed them and caused chaos.

Naomi shivered in fright as she stared at Andrea, "That would’ve been a bloodfest."

Andrea smiled wryly, "Yeah... I am so glad that I managed to get close to him. I am not sure I would’ve survived if he hadn’t come looking back for me and told us to hide on that shelf."

Naomi caught her words, narrowing her eyes at the busty beauty as she hummed, "Do you actually... you know, like him? Or do you want to be close to him because he is strong?"

Andrea returned Naomi’s dark, judging gaze.

She wasn’t offended by the question as she could understand Naomi’s thought process. With a light chuckle, Andrea shook her head.

"I am not sure. I won’t lie that I approached him because I found out he’s an awakener and our lovely Jacob over here was treating him with such respect that I realized Fredrinn ain’t a simple guy." She said calmly, Rhea listening from the side as she kept her face flat.

This wasn’t the first time Andrea admitted to doing things selfishly, and there was nothing to judge about that because that was human nature.

Humans are selfish and there’s nothing that can be done about that.

"However," Andrea giggled, "After meeting him I realized that he really isn’t a simple guy. He had such lust dripping out of him, I could see in his gaze that he wanted to fuck me... and not just me. Other girls too. But surprisingly, it didn’t feel repulsive."

Naomi gave her a judgemental look, wordlessly asking, ’Woman, are you sure you’re sane? You are talking about some fucked up things over here.’

But she didn’t interrupt Andrea’s wistful recollection.

"Maybe it’s because he’s handsome that I feel like losing my first time to him might be okay, but there’s something else too. Like... I would gain something far more worthwhile if I do it." Andrea said mysteriously.

"Yeah... I agree." Naomi nodded in understanding, fully understanding her sentiment as she said, "He gives off the big dick energy, so you will definitely have a worthwhile cock to ride."

Andrea blinked. Then turned to Naomi, speechless.

She was talking in a more mysterious, magical sense, but this black haired, petite little woman was thinking that she was talking about his cock?!

She sighed dramatically, "I wasn’t talking about his dick, geez."

"Ah! Then what else would you gain that’s more worthwhile? Would you awaken with his sperms or what?" Naomi laughed as she mocked, shaking her head like she was staring at a woman in delusion.

But little did she know how close to the mark her guess had been...

While the girls chatted and gossipped amongst each other, Jacob was sitting near the shelves, talking to Sarah, Toby and Harry.

He fixed his cowboy hat, groaning as he looked at the main gate.

"It’s been so long since they left. Are they even alive?" Jacob sighed, scrolling through the lists of requirements for every awakener he had yet encountered.

There was Aadav, Jenny, Max and finally Fredrinn.

It appeared like he was making progress with all of them, but after reading through Fredrinn’s list again, he couldn’t help but sigh.

His requirements were fluid, very vague and controversial.

At what point does a person become like a brother to someone? For some people, it may be impossible while for others, sharing a single cigarette can term the relationship as brothers from another mother.

The requirements should be clear, like to copy Aadav’s ability one of the conditions was to dap him up perfectly.

It was easy. It was possible.

However, just as he was diving deeper into his thoughts, wondering how he could fasten his skill stealing journey, he felt some movements inside the shelves.

He turned around, glancing at the people who were trapped inside.

Dickens was now standing, his eyes and face hidden under his long, curly hair. Expressions not clearly visible due his patchy beard.

He glanced in Harry and Jacob’s direction as he began to move towards them.

"Dickens?" Harry pushed himself off the floor and instantly went towards his friend. His engineering pal.

"I... am hungry." Dickens said calmly as he walked with his head hung low.

A bad feeling bloomed in Jacob’s chest as he stared at the approaching man, as he wordlessly gestured for Sarah to leave.

He turned around to glance towards Andrea and the other member of Max’s team. These were the two women carrying gun...

And he might need those soon.
