It takes Wakuda a few moments to get what Zack is saying. Understanding only the most basic of words, knowing that some fast dogs are eating something that died up the road, and that this seems to upset Zack, Wakuda nods as Zack suggest leaving. He retrieves his piles of things and his backpack, not packing carefully, but placing the water in first, followed by jerky and then medical supplies. Once ready he stands before Zack, not knowing where the man wants to go, only that he wishes to leave, and growls "Me. Go. With. Zack." and offers a smile.

Zack offers a smile back and places one finger over his mouth.
"Shhh..."
He begins very slowly wheeling his motorcycle, out into the road and away from the direction of the screams, making his way away from the scene with Wakuda on his heels, intent to get round a corner and out of sight and earshot of the scene up the road, eyes peeled.
(Knowledge Local: Where is the local Police Station?)

Wakuda follows Zack as closely as he can as he begins making his way to the street. He keeps one hand on his morning star at all times as he follows, ready for trouble should it find them.

As the gunshot hits the pavement Bodvarrson ignores it pointedly. "Damn scallywags, wouldn't have seen me bloody roughing up OAPs like a scoundrel when I was a nipper! No sir." He mumbles darkly. He marches steadily for hours. Occasionally, as he hears loud bangs and scrapes, he draws his sword and glances around feverishly, twisting and turning as he walks. "SHOW YOURSELF YOU BLUNDERING BOBOLYNS!.... Fopdoodles and fustylugs the lot of ya!"
As Dadi arrives at the supermarket he searches his pockets producing a sparkling shiny new coin. He disconnects a undamaged trolley from one of the chains and, whistling merrily, puts his sword on his shoulder. He steers the trolley with one hand as he enters the supermarket searching for the olive bar as a long string of saliva hangs from his mouth in anticipation. The spit swings up to tangle in his sideburns as he turns round the end of an aisle.

Zack & Wakuda - The pair of you open up your respective garages, Zack begins wheeling his motorbike out.
(Zack you know the nearest Police Station to be inside the city centre, about a 4 hour ride away)
As you wheel the bike out onto the streets a few hundred feet further up the road you see the horde of dog-like creatures swarming round the truck, now on its side, screams can still be heard.
You move wheel the bike in the opposite direction for about 20 minutes or so before starting it up and heading off towards the Police Station.
As you ride closer to the city centre you see the building are taller and more of them appear to be broken into, either smashed windows or set ablaze. You also hear more disturbances in the distance, be it glass smashing, gunshots, engines or screams all become more and more common the closer you get to the centre of Domavad.
(Zack you know the Reactor was very close to the city centre, and suspect that it may have been the epicentre for the outbreak. Wakuda you know that your old gang used to use a building not far from a supermarket in this area of town as a hideout)
Dadi - Trolley in toe you head into the supermarket, its eerily quiet and very dark inside even though its early afternoon and the sun is up.
You wander the supermarket for a few minutes finding that many of the shelves have been raided and that many of the shelves have been toppled over or are covered in blood.
Over the course of the next hour you eventually find a few jars of olives and other tinned foods that should keep you going for about a week. As you wander through the aisles you also find a section that once contained firearms, though now picked clean, it is littered with bodys most look to have been clutching guns before they died though you find none.
As you make your way back to the exit you hear a vehicle pull up, a large van, and hear voice outside.

After obtaining the requisite distance from the swarm of creatures Zack hops on his bike, gesturing for Wakuda to get on. "Wakuda. Ride. With. Zack. Zack. Keep. Wakuda. Safe." As he rides he is careful to give blockages a wide berth where possible and weaves around minor obstructions, maintaining a steady speed and, if possible, never stopping. Thinking to himself and occasionally glancing back at Wakuda. 'Hmm.
He doesn't smell as bad as he looks.
Hope we don't crash, those pustules would stink if they popped.
Also... I need a helmet already, rolling the dice here.' As he nears the station he, assuming all is clear, pulls over and kills the engine, stepping off to stretch his legs. "Wakuda. We. Are. Close. Now. Police. Station. Has. Guns. Police. Station. Has. Body. Armor." He looks up at the sky. "We. Raid. Tonight. Or. Morning?" He repeats as necessary for lucid comprehension. |

Seeing Zack's gestures after he mounts the bike, Wakuda gingerly climbs onto the back and takes hold of the grab rail if there is one, if there is no grab rail he holds Zack at the waist, albeit as gently as possible withouth the danger of falling off, not wanting to crush his companion.
Once they have stopped and Zack is stretching his legs, Wakuda dismounts the bike, making sure to check the ground for dangerous debris before placing his bare feet upon it. He stares at Zack as he talks slowly, trying his hardest to comprehend what is being said but he just cannot fathom all of the words. He recognizes that he is being asked a question and Zack repeating himself reinforces this. After a few moments he begins to shake his head, clearly frustrated by his inability to communicate, and offers the only answer he is certain will make sense.
"Me. Do. What. Zack. Do"

Zack nods slowly at his loyal companion.
"Very well." He smiles.
"We. Ride. Past.
Reconnoitre."
The last word he didn't hold much hope of but figured a french word may trigger something in this mutant of obvious african descent.
"Then. We. Stay. Safe. Till. Nightfall."
He finishes his stretching and takes a quick leak against a hydrant before remounting.

Wakuda nods at Zacks words, and upon seeing him begin relieving himself, Wakuda turns around and stands guard whilst his friend is vulnerable. Once Zack has remounted Wakuda follows suit, repeating the process in the same manner as before.

And with that, Zack rides forth, intent to survey the Police Station and, if he can do so without obstruction, drive by at some speed to check it out, afterwards swinging back around and looking for somewhere secure to take shelter till nightfall and hide the bike, preferably within a block or so. Maybe a storefront, mall or garage, somewhere with shutters and hopefully a flat roof.

Dadi loads up his food items into his bag. He then fills the trolley with any flammables he can find such as oil, paper, wood, firelighters, coal, lighter fluid, matches and strolls towards the exit. He stops stock still and ducks down when he hears the voice fingering a lighter in his pocket.
(Hide + 6, move silently + 5)

Zack & Wakuda - The pair of you begin making your way closer to the city centre, the roads are mostly clear, though occasionally you have to weave around an abandoned or crashed vehicle. The buildings closer to the city centre appear in a greater state of disrepair than those further afield; more smashed windows, broken doors, evidence of fires.
Eventually after almost 4 hours of riding you see the Domavad City Police Department a large 2 storey buildind. However, the pair of you see a truck embedded in the front door of the police station which has brought down some of the upper floor, all of the windows appear smashed and looking around the floor leading up to the truck you see bullet casings.
Dadi - Stuffing all the food supplies into your bag you begin to search around for flammable supplies to load the trolley with, quickly finding empty cardboard boxes a few cans of lighter fluid, dozens of firelighters, several packs of paper and a bag of coal. You then begin to head back towards the entrance, when you hear the voices you stop still then quickly back up into an aisle and crounch.
"Wha'sa point o' keep comin' back 'ere? We got all the good stuff," you here from a deep male voice.
"We will still need more food and we know this place well now so if anyone shows up we can kill 'em and take thier stuff," says a young womans voice.
You then hear footfalls as they approach the entrance.

Zack slows down slightly as they pass the Police Station.
"Shiiiiit...." He mumbles, looks over his shoulder at the massive form of Wakuda behind him.
"Shit. Went. Gangster.
We. Come. At. Night."
Speeding up again as they pass he cruises back away from the station, looking for somewhere secure to hole up and hide the bike nearby, as mentioned above.

Dadi lights a piece of paper or cardboard, throws it into the trolley and pushes it as hard as he can towards the voices from his cover. Having provided some sort of distraction he then moves quietly (+5) keeping out of view (+6) towards the warehouse at the back of the store past the cheese counter.

Zack & Wakuda - Decided to pass up the Police Station for you head further into the city centre. The buildings around you know are mostly towering high rises, the lower window and doors of many are smashed and broken.
After about half hour you see a large 2 storey supermarket, the car park half full and many trolley lie abandoned throughout. Close to the entrance you seen a large van with 2 people stood by walking towards the entrance, they both appear armed though from the distance you can't make out what with. It's then you see a a flickering light moving towards the entrance, over the course of a few seconds the light grows larger, revealing a flaming trolley, as it gets closer to the entrance door, when suddenly you hear, and see, a large explosion engulf the 2 people and hear their agonised screams. Set aflame the 2 people panicked attempt to put themselves out, though not quick enough as a succession of smaller exolosions ring out from them, with that the people fall to the ground still aflame mere feet from thier van.
Dadi - You light a pack of paper in the trolley and carefully, but forcefully, push it towards the entrance. More of the flammable substance begin to catch fire as you turn and staying low heading towards the back of the store. At the back of the store you pass the now empty cheese counter to an 'employees only' door which is slightly ajar, as you push it open further to squeeze through your hear a loud explosion from the entrance, presumably from your flaming trolley, followed by a pair of agonised screams and you slip into the warehouse at the rear of the supermarket. It's dark and empty within, most of the crates lie broken and scattered across the floor and at the far end you can see a small amount of light coming from under the partially closed shutter.
