Jake turned his attention back to the television and the news report, the words<em>dead</em>and<em>coming back to life</em>now stuck in his head. There really was only one explanation for it. Zombies. But zombies made no sense what so ever. How was it that zombies could even exist? They were something that existed in the movies and video games...not in real life. There was no way that someone who died could come back to life and have a serious case of the munchies. No fucking way. But according to the news report, exactly that was happening. People were going to the hospital with bite wounds from other humans. That was exactly what happened in every single zombie movie Jake had watched. This whole ordeal was reminding him of the movie Dawn of the Dead, and not in a good way. He did enjoy watching a good zombie film...but if that stuff was actually coming to life, then he'd be picking a new favorite type of movie.<br/><br/>After listening to the news report for another minute, he turned his attention back to the two others in the room, glancing over at the small Asian woman who had come out from behind the counter to get a better look at the news report. After watching her for a moment, Jake's gaze wandered back to the brunette sitting down. If he'd met her any other time, he'd definitely be exchanging phone numbers with her. Having already gone through four years of college, Jake had seen and been with a lot of attractive girls, and the brunette he was now looking at was just as attractive as any of them. Jake's attention shifted when he heard another unfamiliar voice. He turned a little to see a cute little blond girl walking into the lobby, who looked no older than 19. Jake looked the girl over for a moment. Blonds had never been a favorite of his. The last girl he'd seriously dated had been blond...and things hadn't worked out. He didn't have anything against blonds...he just preferred a girl with darker hair.<br/><br/>Jake watched the little blond girl for a few moments. She was cute and he'd gladly exchange phone numbers with her if circumstances were better...but she definitely was like your stereotypical blond. Ditsy, dumb - okay, maybe not dumb - and more ditsy. Not something he found incredibly attractive in a girl. But then again, who really cared if he was going to get her in bed. if she was a good lay, then that was what mattered. Jake also noticed another woman entering the room, his attention being drawn towards her when she asked if they had seen the news. Jake nodded then pointed towards the TV. "That's all that seems to be on right now..."<br/><br/>Jake then watched as the brunette stood up and moved to set the telephone back on the counter before introducing herself. Heather. That was a nice name. "I'm Jake," He nodded to the three that were around the counter, and was about to say something else when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. Jake quickly reached for it. The caller ID read Matt. Jake answered the phone then turned away from the group a little, "Dude, what the hell is going on out there?" Jake asked. Matt went on to explain what he knew. He definitely sounded shaken up. "I'm going to send you a couple pictures...gotta run," Matt replied before hanging up. Jake then stood there for a moment until his phone began to vibrate again, alerting him he had an unread picture message. Jake opened up the picture. The screen on his phone was large enough that he could see the picture pretty clearly, and it looked just like the stuff he was seeing on the news. The picture showed someone taking a bite out of another human. Jake shook his head then held his phone towards Heather for her to take a look....<br/><br/>
