"Sounds like a plan." He says as he moves quickly to grab his shotgun and knife off the top shelf, sheathing the blade and carrying the gun with his left hand between the pump and trigger. Nico catches up with Megan at the door and opens it, not caring about the complaining hinges because he figured if there were any zombies in the immediate area they would have shown up by now. After a pause at the door to observe for any activity on the street, and no seeing anything or anyone, Nico steps out of the shop. He moves low and light on his feet, to reduce his visual and auditory profile, toward an abandoned sedan in the middle of the street, hiding behind that as he checks his surroundings for any other signs of activity.<br/><br/>After being satisfied with his surrounding area being clear he moves low and light to cross the street. Once across he immediately makes a move for the closest door, wanting to secure a safe space on this side of the street before continuing. The building was an old, rundown apartment complex of 5 stories. Nico drew his knife and entered the building in the same manner as the mechanic's, except this time he was caught off guard by a zombie who was on the immediate other side of the door. He presses the muzzle of his shotgun against the sternum of the sharply dressed monster and pushes him back to create space and recover a good defensive stance. As the zombie falls back he lands on a coffee table, sending a loud crashing noise into the eerily quiet street and attracting the attention of a zombie located somewhere past the lobby. Nico didn't stop. As the zombie in front of him was getting back to his feet he reversed his grip on his knife and closed the distance, driving the steel blade into the skull with a sickening but familiar<i>thunk.</i>
