บท 11: 11. Prospects
Sam and his skeletons quickly killed the crazies and headed to Kelly's flower shop. Sending in a skeleton to check for the living yielded nothing but finding out the skeletons can hone in on anything living. Moving down the row of small stores Sam came upon scene after scene of bodies half eaten or ripped to pieces. Sam hardened himself as each gruesome scene played back in his head. Moving forward Sam came upon what appeared to be a hardware store with its windows and doors intact. Not knowing if people will be inside Sam commanded the skeletons to guard the door as he knocked three times and waited a few minutes. A bang and shuffling could be heard as a scruffy wrinkled face popped up.
"Who's there, what do you want" the old man said as more whispers could be heard.
"My name is Sam and I'm from the grocery store on the other side of the parking lot. I'm looking for survivors and supplies" Sam half yelled through the door. More shuffling could be heard as more faces popped up in the windows.
"What are those things behind you" The old man asked as he paled at the sight of Wraith.
"My job allows me to summon skeletons. Can you come outside and we can talk" Sam told the old man trying to coerce him outside.
"I'll come out but just me. Now back away and no funny business" The old man yelled. Sam moved away from the door and commanded the skeletons to keep their guard up for crazies. Scraping and clanging could be heard from the inside as the door creaked open and a skinny old man walked out.
"Now say your peace or kill me, I'm old and dont have much time left anyway" The old man grumbled out as he held a knotted cane.
"As I said I'm from Harry's grocery store and we are clearing out the stores and parking lot for survivors and supplies. Can I get your name" Sam stated as he asked for the old mans name.
"Tom, but everyone just calls me Old Man" Tom waved off Sam as he fumbled around with a crumpled pack of cigarettes. Tom started patting his pockets and cursing as he couldn't find a lighter. Sam pulled a match book from his pocket and offered it to Tom who thanked him and lite a crushed cigarette.
"So what do you want to happen. I'm old not senile" Tom said with no emotion to Sam.
"Honestly. I want to move everyone here to the grocery store and clear out everything that's useful here" Sam told Tom flatley. Tom nodded and walked back into the store, not saying a word to Sam. A small argument could be heard then it went quite for a few minutes. The door opened up as Tom and five others walked out of the store.
"Alright young'en we're out now what" Tom asked Sam.
"Please follow me back to the grocery store so you all can get some food and then talk to one of my people about your job and strengths" Sam said as he got the small group to follow him. Wraith intercepted a small group of crazies with its group of skeletons as Sam and the survivors made their way into the grocery store. Truth ran up to Sam as he walked into the door grabbing his arm.
"Sam is this all you could fine" Truth asked sweetly in a jeering way.
"Nine different stores and only the hardware store didn't look like a meat grinder" Sam said disheartened. Truth's mouth dropped at the news Sam dropped on her. Collecting herself Truth recounted everything that happened to Chris and her.
" I found a lot of small useful items and 3 people hiding in their cars. Chris has cleared quite a few groups of Crazies and what we guess is a mutated cat that looks like a tiger" Truth finished recounting the past few hours as they found Kelly delegating tasks to survivors.
"Kelly we have a few new faces that need to be accounted for and tasked. Is there anything you need from me before I head back out" Sam asked Kelly. Kelly just shook her head as she continued to task the survivors.
"Tom this is Kelly I want you to work with her in taking people work and recording jobs, levels and items found" Sam politely asked Tom who just nodded and walked over to Kelly. Sam started for the front door as his system dinged a level up notification.
*Level Up*
*Lvl 5 Achieved new skill learned*
Dark Mana lvl 1
Sam froze at the notification of a new skill and wondered what the skill did.
"Why did you stop Sam?" Truth asked quizzically at Sam's sudden stop.
"I've hit level 5 and learned a new skill but its weird" Sam told Truth as he started for the door. Truth walked quickly to Sam side as they made there way to the parking lot.
"I hit level 5 today too and I got a funny named skill as well" Truth told Sam looking for praise.
"What is the skill called" Sam asked. Truth looked at her stats for the skill name.
"Daughter of Mercy is the skill" Truth told Sam the skill name. Sam didnt have a clue for either of the skills they unlocked. Separating from Truth as Sam headed to the next row of stores looking for survivors. Sam made it to the first store when a loud crash and a man yelling for help. Running as fast as he could to the sound Sam came to a middle aged man being held down by a large tiger looking cat and a women that's was still on the ground, not moving or making a sound. Sam rushed the large Cat as he activated Dark Mana as his longsword was covered in a black mist. The sword sliced deep in to the cats back as it whined in pain and collapsed. The man drug his self from under the cat's body as crawled to the women.
"Miranda wake up kiddo please wake up" the man pleaded. Sam walk over to the women to look for a pulse. Remembering his first aid training Sam found a pulse and heaved a sigh of relief as he told the injured man the lady was fine just knocked out as far as he could tell. The man started to cry as he thanked Sam for saving him and his daughters life.
"Thank you sir my job is alchemist and I didn't receive a weapon but a cauldron and my daughter's job is cleric" The man told Sam about themselves. Sam called in 3 skeletons to help the man and his daughter to the store.
"I have summoned 3 of my minions to help you and your daughter to the grocery store we are staying at. They are skeletons so don't freak out" Sam warned the man as the first skeleton walked through the door.
