Santa's growls were barely audible over the nine roaring engines. Elder Rivers turned back to check before noticing Santa point towards a hardware store. Elder Rivers turned towards the store, pulling the SUV with him. In front of the store, he stopped, getting off Rudolph.

"What could we do here?" Elder Rivers asked. He stepped towards the SUV to help Santa out of the car, opening the door for him. Elder Rivers then stepped into the store himself, having an idea. He looked for masks- something he could see through but could still protect his face from being bitten, lest he begin to turn and have to wander the rest of his days on Earth as a zombie instead of dying happily and getting his own planet.
