[color=f49ac2]"Tomorrow, I think we need to go work on getting some more gas and look for some generators and see if the Hardware stores have been completely destroyed yet. Can I count you in? We are going to need to figure out how to handle the days ahead when the power goes out. And what do we do if there is a day when we can no longer stay at the school?"[/color]

[color=1a7b30]"I've gotten pretty good at raiding gas stations. I can open the under ground tanks and I have a little hand pump to get the gas out.  It's slow, but should get us enough gas for a generator. We can check out the hardware stores. If they are good we can get a lot of good tools from the hardware stores. We will need gardening tools to make the football field a farm next year.
"How spread out over the school are we? Can we locate everybody in the same wing or area of the school. Then maybe we can figure out how to heat or part of the school and not the whole building." [/color]

[color=f49ac2]"I was talking to Felix and he made me think of a few things I would have gladly not thought of."[/color] Nikki looked a little more tired than she would have been without the stresses of keeping everyone safe. [color=f49ac2]"I do think we need to start teaching everyone how to fight with at least the basics and teach them how to shoot and defend themselves because right now the living are more dangerous than the dead are. It's survival of the fittest out there and there are a lot of people here who don't know how to do anything to defend themselves."[/color]

[color=1a7b30]"How did they make it this far without fighting? But I can show them how to use a knife. I don't know if we have enough guns for everybody. We might need to look for more firearms. I was thinking we could maybe make spears. Spears are easy to use and you don't have to get too close to the infected to use them. Maybe we can get some shovels or something at the hardware store to make the spears. Spears are a lot easier to use than swords or axes. They will be good for defending the school."[/color]

Eric smiled his thanks to Matt. "Thanks, Bro." He asked Matt about his past and learned he was a Marine. 

Eric waited his five minutes and then went searching for Nikki. He didn't find her in her room, so he headed to the gym. He was sitting in the bleachers long enough to watch Nikki dance to pull off her handstand on the hoop. He was very impressed but worried too.  She didn't have spotter under her. He jumped down from the bleachers and started running towards her. She shouldn't be doing that without some pads or a spotter under her.

He saw she was about fall. He ran even faster and was able to help break her fall. He caught her... mostly. He kept her from hitting her head and both Eric and Nikki fell into a pile under the hoop. oth of them felt it, but at least Nikki didn't hit her head and her fall was soften some.
