You let out an exasperated sigh as Matt leaves the media center. [i]How are going to get everyone in the media center at the same time if people keep leaving?[/i]you think, rolling your eyes. You notice Phillip enter with Sam, slightly distressed with taking care of him. You let a small grin form on your face at the sight. And then Ben rolls into the media center, covered in dried flakes of blood with Alicia following him. You shake your head, amused. [i]I wonder if we should just start with who we have now. I guess I'll wait some more though.[/i] You sit down with your back against the shelves and closes your eyes, drifting into a half-asleep state. 
((Note, this is before Matt gets back))

You slaughter several zombies along the way to get to MST to encounter a large horde of zombies milling about. "So, what do you think we should do?" you ask the twins.
[i]I already have a solution in mind, but this is a chance to see how they operate.[/i]
"Jumping into a horde like that would be suicide. So we should catch the attention of a few zombies and eliminate them like that," Ariel responds.
[i]Not ruthless enough. Yet.[/i]
"Or," you propose, "We could simply have a decoy distract them."
"But who would be a decoy?" queries Lauren.
"Watch and see," you comment, strolling over to a classroom, unlocking it, and grabbing the nearest student. You tell that class that it is of the utmost importance to borrow the kid right now. The class replies with feeble, apathetic answers. 
The boy you are holding shrieks, "What are you doing with me?!"
"Hush," you say, placing a hand over his mouth to prevent him from making too much noise. But it's too late, the zombies have noticed you and start shuffling at an alarming pace.
"Now look what you've done," you say in a bored tone, "Oh well. It's not like this wasn't going to happen." 
You pin him to the ground and cut through one of his calf muscles. Then you pick him up and shove him in the direction of the zombies. He starts screaming and tries to run up towards the back stairwell, the horde closing in on him fast.
"Quick," you say to the Knox twins, "Follow me."
They nod, faces paling, and chase after you as you run towards the culinary science room. 

In the room, you start searching for the keys to the knife cabinet. You rifle through the teacher's desk and drawers and finally find what you're looking for. You start unlocking all the cabinets and tell the twins to go search them. Walking over to the knife closet, you begin shoving all the cleavers, chef's knives, bread knives, and other assorted knives you can find into your backpack. You also pick up three cheese graters, two can openers, and a handful of corkscrews. 
Ariel questions, "What are the cheese graters for?"
You reply, smiling gleefully, "You'll see. And have you guys finished scouring the area for weapons?"
Lauren replies, "Yes. And I thought a metal pan might be of some use as a weapon."
You glance down at the pan in her hand and shrug, you don't care too much what your subordinates used as long as they weren't [i]too[/i] powerful.
"How are we going to get back?" Ariel prompts, noticing the number of zombies outside returning slowly to the amount they were before.
"I can deal with those numbers," you reply confidently.
But a series of distant gunshots ring through the air before you attempt to exit. [i]Who else would have a gun aside from Vitale? Police? No, considering Mr. Vitale said there wasn't going to be any support from the government anytime soon. Which means...adults. Parents with children in this school most likely. The gunshots will draw the zombies away from this area at least. Although I wanted to kill more. Oh well. There will be plenty of opportunities.[/i]
"Let's use this opportunity to get back," you say to the twins and exit the room.
