The fact that Donny didn't blow his own brains out made Gale sigh in relief, though she sure as hell didn't know what was going on in his mind as he rushed back into his own room.<br/><br/>Lily raised an eyebrow when she saw the girl sigh. "Wait, did something happen? Other than the obvious." The police officer pointed at Gale, then at her own skin.<br/><br/>Well, it did stand out a little too much. After likely dealing with too many mindless zombies, that woman in front of her probably had mixed feelings after meeting one that didn't want to eat them.<br/><br/>Gale crashed onto a sofa opposite Lily and nodded slowly. "That zombie you killed outside was his mom."<br/><br/>"Ah." Lily glanced downwards. Both her hands came to her lap, like a feminine gesture of regret and sullenness. "I shouldn't have—"<br/><br/>Gale shot up from her seat like a rocket as she recalled something. Her 'feminine hygiene products'. Her portable radio. The tire iron, and the hammer that lay at their feet during the entire crazy drive here. Those things were still in Everson's Hummer.<br/><br/>"I'll be right back. There's snacks in the fridge." Gale bolted out of the house, and reached the Hummer without issues. She heard the cracking booms of a rifle, though whoever was shooting that wasn't probably aiming at anything close to her. The air was clear of the living scent.<br/><br/>Rifling through the car, Gale tucked the tire iron and hammer between her left armpit, and held the plastic bag containing the package on her right arm. The radio was grasped in her right hand, and if it wasn't for what she exactly she was holding, Gale would have been mistaken for a schizophrenic bargain hunter.<br/><br/>She threw the items onto an empty couch as she entered Donny's house (closing the door on her way in gently), and crashed back onto her previous seat.<br/><br/>"Is that a radio?" Lily perked up when her eyes laid upon it. "It's hand powered. Can I use it?"<br/><br/>Gale's hands held onto the radio right as she heard that. She almost hissed like an angry cat at Lily until Donny came into her mind. What exactly was he holing up in his room for, she wondered.<br/><br/>"Go ahead. I want to check up on Donny."<br/><br/>Gale took the steps down to Donny's room with just the slightest hint of stealth, though when she saw the computer monitor lit up, with some video game going on she only just recognised. But the chair in front of the computer desk was empty.
