Rubbing his eyes against the sleep that threatened to invade Andrei regretted the countless nights of little sleep that had led up to this drive. It's not that he didn't want to be rested for this trip but with the mound of work he hadn't quite gotten finished, a few extra long nights were necessary. Now, as he followed the roads along their winding tracks the steering wheel was looking more, and more comfortable. It was during one of these slips as his head sounded the horn, jerking him back into a state of wakefulness that Andrei noticed how close to the 'E' the gas tank was getting. Cursing himself for not stopping at the gas station he had last passed Andrei hoped that there would be another stop soon or he'd be walking.<br/><br/>When it looked like there was going to be nothing anytime soon, Andrei gave in and stopped the car. As the engine died and the silence set in he grabbed his backpack, repacking it from where it exploded all over the back seat, and locked the car. Maybe he could find someone who could help him out. Walking down the road with his hood pulled up and his hands jammed in his pockets, Andrei came across a house, run down by the looks of it but it might still be occupied. Having no other options, Andrei headed towards the building, noticing the two other cars nearby.<br/><br/>He jogged to the door, knocking on it even though he could see it was slightly open; when no one answered he ducked in to get out of the rain. He stood dripping just inside the door waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness within, the rain wasn't helping any so, digging into his bag he pulled out his old Ipod, using the screen as a flashlight. Now being able to see slightly better, Andrei made his way cautiously into the house.<br/><br/>He didn't find much in the room he thought to be the entrance so Andrei continued in his search. This led him to a staircase, and his curiosity got the better of him. Andrei slowly made his way up the stairs testing each step carefully in case this place were older and more rickety than it first appeared. Slowly he made his way to the second floor which seemed to be occupied by bedrooms mostly. He peeked his head into a few, not seeing anything of particular interest before he returned back to the stairs, picking his way back down to look around the first floor some more.
