Course of Action

They sat around after taking inventory trying to figure out what to do. Each one had ideas of what they wanted to do since anything they could think of was now at their disposal. Ninja wanted a Ferrari, Money wanted to steal a plane, and Waffles wanted a pizza. Unfortunately these ideas would have to wait. They knew that rational and practical thinking was the way to go, at least for now. They decided to take all of the vehicles and run to the QT gas station a few blocks away. If things went south safety wasn't far away. The plan was to hit the pumps and fill up first, and then go inside and scope it out. Ninja pulled up first and jumped in the bed of his truck to stand guard while Money and Waffles gassed up. There were plenty of cars littering the roads, but no undead to speak of. The trio was able to fill up without an issue. After lining up their vehicles for a fast getaway (just in case) the siblings (Waffles and Money) proceeded inside while Ninja stayed on guard duty in the parking lot. As they entered the front door they stayed side by side, first looking forward and then each covering their respective sides to the left and right. The only noise they heard was the hum of the refrigeration units that lined the store. Money looked over the counter and found the store clerk dead. He followed rule #6 and gave him a round in the head. The noise from the shot alerted an old biker in the back that looked like he had been run over, but Waffles was ready and dispatched him with 4 shots from her pistol. They cleared the rest of the store together and didn't encounter any more baddies. Money stepped outside and gave Ninja the thumbs up for the all clear. A minute later Waffles came out with a case of water and four frozen pizzas. She got what she wanted after all. Money took a few minutes longer but came out with a dolly loaded with several cases of beer. It was good thinking on his part. They only had two beers left back at the house. Ninja was very pleased to see that he and Uncle Money were on the same page. They loaded everything in the back. Ninja said "hang on a sec" and ran inside. He came out with 5 cartons of smokes and a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper. The other two just smiled and laughed but Ninja was now a happy camper. They were just about to roll out when Money noted an overturned FedEx truck across the street. In all likelihood it would be a waste of time, but the team decided to risk it. Uncle Money took a post on top the wrecked truck while Waffles and Ninja tore into the boxes like 4 year old kids on Christmas morning. After digging through about 30 boxes there wasn't much to show for their effort. Ninja had found a nice set of binoculars. Waffles dug up 2 flashlights and a Dallas Cowboys jersey (#41). She also discovered a box of high dollar yo-yo's. Ninja figured anything that had any entertainment value was worth hanging on to. As they cleared out Uncle Money saw the jersey and stole it from his sister in a full sprint back to his car. Waffles was not happy and looked to Ninja for assistance. He just shook his head. He wasn't about to get involved in a sibling rivalry. As he got back in his truck he let a smile creep across his face and shook his head again, and said "Cowboys fans" under his breath "just not the brightest ones out there".

The team returned back to the house. Their minds all planning out what was to come next. They knew they wouldn't stay here long, but if they were going to go somewhere else the needed more protection.
