Having gotten all the supplies he had room in his pack for, Bryan closed it up, slinging it over his shoulder once more as he headed for the door.  Stepping back out of the store, he wandered the streets a bit in search of a place to stay for the night.  The good thing about cities is such places were fairly common.<br/><br/>After a few minutes of walking, he came across a mall in the distance.  Pausing to consider it, he concluded that it could provide decent shelter as well as some more things he could likely use.  He needed some ammo, as well as a change of clothes, the ones he had on having been a bit worn by the road.  Not to mention he might find some other items that could come in handy.<br/><br/>Making up his mind, he wandered toward the mall.  As he drew closer, he noticed the shattered glass, causing him to purse his lips gently.  He started to sling the rifle from his shoulder, then paused.  It was indoors, a bit confined to try and level a rifle on something, so instead he drew his sidearm, a Colt .45 semi-automatic.  Already having a round in the chamber, something he made a normal habit of for the extra shot, he pulled the hammer back rather than using the slide to cock the handgun, and approached slowly.<br/><br/>Hearing voices inside, his eyes widened.  Could there really be others?  Maybe his mind was playing tricks on him, or maybe it was just a talking toy that some animal had stepped on and activated.  Finally, he was at the entrance, looking in, and once again shocked.  There were people in there!  Living, speaking people!  He didn't let himself get too excited though.  There was no telling what they were like, so he stepped in slowly, silently, drawing the twin of the pistol he already had drawn.  He raised both guns, aiming at each of the two inside as he stepped into view.<br/><br/>Unlike the girl, this man obviously was more than familiar with the weapons, and didn't look like he'd hesitate to pull the trigger if one of them made even a slightly suspicious move.  Looking between the two of them, he said nothing.  He was honestly unsure what to say.  He didn't even know if he remembered how to talk anymore.  Frowning gently, he simply held his position for the moment, allowing them to consider their next moves carefully, and to possibly explain a bit to him.
