Malik was finally in the clear, well, as close to clear as you could get in this new terrible world. He still needed to watch his surroundings and cautiously move about. After the ducking and dodging he did, he came upon the subdivision while holding on to the strap of his backpack on his shoulder that was filled with what he could collect. 

Now, once he made it to the subdivision, he scanned the area to determine where he should start. Some of these houses look broken into and he didn't want to risk running into another altercation but what choice did he have? The first two houses, he was sneaking into, they were damaged all around. dead bodies and the rotting smell definitely gave him a "hell no" answer in his mind as he went to check another house. 

After his other attempts from the next two and coming up short with what he had in mind, staying in, he came upon a home that looked relatively okay. What kept his attention was the model home sign that was in the yard, feeling he had to check this place out but...if he could find a place like this, was there possibly others that found it too?

He walked around the yard quietly to see if there were any signs of anyone staying there but he did notice the car, not knowing if it could be used or not but he would check on that in a bit. First, the house. Malik Didn't know what he was going to find inside but like what he did before, he pulled out his stolen revolver as he grabbed the door nob, noticing it was locked. Looking around, he pulled out two metal pins to jimmy the lock on the door as he managed it open but he did so quietly. He was at the side door of the house, keeping his gun in hand, not knowing what to expect. Making his way inside, he peeked around to see if there were any movements before quietly closing the door.

He didn't know whether he was walking into a trap or not but he was not going to go down easily.
