seriously?”
     
    “What!? It fits and I crack up whenever I see this shirt!”, Dave quickly replied.
     
    “Well, if you insist. We probably won’t be coming back here anytime soon, you know.”
     
    “I’m good, Jay”, Dave replied with seriousness in his voice.
     
    They both took a look at their clothes, that looked much older than they really were, while they stood looking lifeless on the store’s floor. It was a poignant moment for them. There would be no coming back to the store. They both walked out quietly
     
    “Jay! Let’s head to Tanzili’s Gun Shop!”, Dave broke the silence.
     
    “Come on. Let’s go. I need something loud that goes great with this outfit”, Jason said.
     
    Walking up the escalator slowly, the footsteps they heard earlier were much more hurried and accompanied by some noise. All they could make out were muffled voices and the sounds of something soft getting pounded.
     
    “Jay?”, Dave quietly said.
     
    “Just keep quiet for now. We don’t need any needless confrontation. Let’s just stay quiet, get what we need, and head out”, Jason replied back while looking in the direction of the noise.
     
    “Right”, Dave whispered.
     
    Climbing up the escalator grew more and more tense between the two friends. The noises weren’t stopping and the voices were barely audible. All they could make out were hostile noises. It was at this point where they didn’t know if they should be more afraid of the living, rather than the dead.
     
    “Do you think it’s pirates?”, Jason asked.
     
    “Pirates? Like, with swords and parrots?”, Dave replied with a hint of sarcasm.
     
    “Yeah, kind of, you know, without the boat?”
     
    “Yes, Jay, pirates are in the mall. That’s exactly where they’d go. Not to peoples’ houses, not prying open the cars, but yeah, they’d come to the mall to steal your amazing hat. Yes, Jay, those are pirates”, Dave ranted.
     
    “…Ass”, Jason replied back quietly.
     
    “Hey, hey whoa! Check this out!” Jason whispered excitedly. “There are some copies of that book I wanted to check out on display; ‘Deviant’, a story of sex and sexual addiction.” Sounds interesting enough.
     
    “Sounds kind of hot”, Dave replied, uninterested.
     
    Flipping through it, Jason replied, “Sounds kind of boring.” And he soon tossed it aside. “Come on, one more floor to go before we hit the gun shop.”
     
    The friends arrived at the gun shop. The store’s sign was a simple “Tanzili’s” on a dark wood background with a picture of a pistol after the S. Jason tugged at a door, only to find that it was open. The lock was broken. Ironically enough, it was shot off.
     
    “Well, shit”, Jason said as he slowly and effortlessly opened the door.
     
    Dave ventured inside, bat at the ready, but it didn’t matter. The store was all but empty, save for a few old and worn looking weapons. There were bullets scattered all over the floor and glass reflected softly in the light.
     
    “Let’s take what we can and get out of here. We need to get to the army site before they leave without us”, Dave said.
     
    Jason grabbed a 9mm pistol from the floor. “You’re right”, he said as he released the clip and checked for bullets.
     
    “Do you know how to use these things?”, Dave said in a surprised voice. To his knowledge, neither of them had ever played with guns before.
     
    “Well, no, but I’ve played a lot of video games”, Jason replied.
     
    “Oh”, Dave said.
     
    Dave looked at the walls and noticed that almost all of the gun accessories still remained. There were many holsters of different colors and textures. There were even slings left on the walls.
     
    “Jay, look. I think we can totally make use of these”, Dave said excitedly.
     
    “Something is kind of off, man” Jason said. “Why is there such a mess around the guns, but all the tools and accessories are fine? If the people here had ample time to get ready, you
