Loaded into the SUV was a backpack liberated from the mall by Elder Rivers. Its contents included two changes of clothing, several reading books, some candy, and some vitamins. The backpack itself was a black nylon bag with two straps. It had two compartments. One main compartment which held his clothing, and another smaller compartment which held the smaller vitamin bottles. Rivers also grabbed a golf club- a driver. Finished with his "shopping", Elder Rivers walked to Rudolph and saddled the snowmobile, pulling the nylon switch once again, turning all the snow mobiles on.

"Here we go" he shouted, turning the speed to as fast as the machines could carry. He had on a mask, and his sleeves were unrolled, cuffed at his wrists to protect his arms- if only from blood. He knew that getting a bite or scratch would be fatal. Elder Rivers couldn't risk being bitten, but at least his face was safe.Elder Rivers stopped near one of the mall exits, but far enough from it to be clear of the door.

Elder Rivers cleared a path for Santa's sleigh so that he could head out- just there was one problem. Walkers awaiting just outside. He'd have to pick them off one by on as they entered, then clear the path again. That way, he could ensure his and Santa's safety.

He opened the front door for Santa and gestured at the door then reached to the back seat to grab his golf club.. Before saying anything, Elder Rivers ran towards the door, and forced it ajar. He made it just wide enough for the SUV to go straight through without any trouble, then ran back before he was in any danger. He clutched his gold club to his side like a baseball bat.
