The goal seemed pretty clear.. To keep whatever was out there, from getting in. With the windows and doors blocked up, the building seemed relatively secure. The noises of screams and destruction from outside made everyone uneasy though, and everyone was on alert.
"We need to put together a scavenger team to go out and get food, water and supplies." Tim finally said after a while. The vending machines were empty already, and the city water was gone. So was the power. Aaron loudly slurped the last bit of his Mountain Dew through the straw of his fountain cup. He looked up from his iPhone and took his Bose headphones out of his ears, the faint sound of My Chemical Romance played distantly as he looked around curiously at everyone's blank expressions. "What?"
"I agree with Tim." Pat said after a moment. "We'll put together a team, and take one of the trucks to go on a run." He said with impressive command. Everyone nodded. It didn't take long to put together a team. Pat, Tim, Aaron, Brett and Felix set out through the dark and cold plant towards the shipping trailers in the back.
The normally familiar plant was eerily dark and quiet. The group walked slowly with a single flashlight, and each man with a make-shift weapon just in case. They had no way of knowing if anything got inside. Off in the distance, bright light flickered like strikes of lightning as a couple of maintenance guys worked to weld shut the back shipping doors. Everyone was busy securing the plant to make it a fortress.
