CC cursed as Ashley fell unconscious. He didn't like this at all. He told Ashley to stay awake, damn him. He sighed and got up and shook his head. Jinxx and Jake were both staring at him with wide eyes. They obviously didn't know what the hell went on with CC and Ashley. Or how Ashley got hurt enough to pass out.

"Jesus man, what happened?" Jake asked him. CC sighed and rubbed his temples.

His scythe had clattered on the ground amongst the commotion of being thrown into the place. He decided to summarize what had happened, seeing as they needed to pay attention to those things out there instead of swapping stories. But it didn't seem all that bad, CC needed to get his mind off of splitting people's heads open anyways. He went over and picked up his scythe, gripping it in his hand firmly before he answered Jake's question.

"Well, I'm not sure what happened. Me and Ashley split up, I had to search for weapons and we would meet at the bar. Obviously the one we're in now. I had to split so many people into pieces that I'll have nightmares for months." he said. Forget months, years. If he was even lucky to live that long.

"Anyways, I found Ashley whacking the hell out of some huge zombie. I actually had to pull him away. Said something about being slammed into a wall." CC said to them. Jinxx and Jake paled and gulped loudly. They didn't have much time to think of a response as the zombies tried their best to break down the door. Well, this was working out perfectly, note the very heavy sarcasm. CC gripped the scythe tighter into his hands, noting the sawed off shotgun strapped to him as well.

"Hey guys, got any shotgun ammo?" CC asked either of them. Jake shook his head. But Jinxx untucked his shirt and pulled out some ammo. Not much, but it would do. CC stepped forward and took it from Jinxx with a small step of relief. He looked back at Ashley, who was still unconscious. The other two took a quick look back at Ashley and looked at CC.

"Go keep an eye on him. We got this for now. Just cover the back in case they get in." Jinxx said softly. CC nodded and went back to Ashley, bending down and feeling for a pulse, more for his peace of mind than anything else. He was glad to find one, it was strong, but CC didn't want to take any chances. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. What were they going to do? While watching Ashley, as well as the back of the bar, he reloaded his sawed off shotgun and restrapped it firmly to his side. He walked around the back, making sure to barricade everything he needed to before going back to the front of the bar.

"So, what happened with you guys?" CC asked them.

"We met up shortly after getting backstage, Jinxx saved my ass by crushing a zombie with a mic stand. We left the venue entirely shortly after. We had a time trying to find suitable weapons with these things trying to feast on our faces every five seconds." Jake said, throwing himself against the door when a particular hard shove would have sent the door flying. Guess the zombies were trying their hardest to get in. That was their only redeeming quality, they were viciously determined. Not really redeeming, as much as scary.

"We found this bar before actually finding weapons. Staking our claim at a safe point and all that. We hadn't been there that long before you guys came along." Jinxx added to Jake's story. CC nodded, he was just glad they were both okay. Now if only Andy were here, then he wouldn't be worried about any one of them. Well, not true, Ashley might be badly injured and they have no way of getting medical attention. Were hospitals even worth going to now in this? Jinxx must have been looking at CC, because he started talking again.

"Don't worry, Andy will be fine. Ashley too." he said softly. CC nodded, he had to believe that. He didn't want to believe in anything else. CC looked out the window and another horror came to him. It was getting dark out and he had played too many zombie games and watched too many zombie movies to know how this would turn out.

"Night time." CC said softly.

Jake nodded, "It seems our time here will be that much harder." he said, He wasn't kidding, CC took another walk in the back to make sure everything was still secure. After yet another round of security watch, he sat down next to Ashley, who was still heavily unconscious. Every so often, there would be a hammering at the door, a zombie trying to get in. But Jake and Jinxx held fast and made sure everything was secure. But even they had to sleep at some point. Besides, they had a long night ahead of them.

"Hey Jake, Jinxx, catch some shut eye. I'll take watch, keep everything safe." CC said, standing up.

"I don't--" Jake said, getting cut off by CC.

"No, you need rest. You're not some robot. The worst thing that could happen is you pass out from lack of sleep and be caught by one of those things." CC said. Jake shuddered in thought and held no argument after that. The two men went over to where CC had sat down and they sat down on either side of Ashley, looking at their fallen friend.

"He's been out for quite some time." Jake said. Jinxx nodded, saying nothing. But you could tell he was worried. CC sighed and went and put himself up against the door, making sure that the door wouldn't budge while he was there. Nothing really serious happened for a few hours, the occasional groans and moans from the undead outside the bar, the shuffling of their feet as they moved across the pavement at a very slow pace. It was only when the moon was high enough, probably around midnight or at least twelve-thirty, that something happened to make CC freeze.

Everything was silent, and he meant everything. He couldn't even hear a bird chirping. Almost like the animals knew something bad was coming. CC wished they could leave, but with Ashley down, they weren't going to leave him to this hell. CC was brought out of his thoughts with a loud and VERY hard shove into the door, almost ripping it off the hinges. Jinxx and Jake jumped awake from their sleep as CC quickly backed away from the door.

"So much for that plan!" CC said, backing up to where the rest of them were. The zombies were now shoving themselves through the ruined door and barricaded. CC took off his sawed off shotgun and aimed, He fired two shots, making sure the ones in the front didn't damage the door even more. Jake took a grenade and carefully tossed it through the opening and they got behind the bar as the grenade went off.

"Not smart, genius." CC said as he hefted Ashley into his arms.

"You try throwing a grenade at a pack of zombies and see how you do." Jake retorted back. CC didn't really have a retort to fire back at the man, he did have a point. CC took aim and fired off four more shots, taking down the ones doing the damage to the door. But the one that caused the damage in the first place wasn't around. Where did that thing go? They got an answer when the back door to the bar was smashed open and since CC was closest to where the zombie was, its attention went to him.

"Now I know how Ashley felt. That thing is huge...and gross." CC said, wrinkling his nose as he backed up. They couldn't get to Ashley fast enough and the zombie was just a few feet from Ashley when there was a loud BANG! and the zombie's brains flew...everywhere. CC, Jake and Jinxx wiped off the brain matter with a grumble and looked up to see Andy standing in the doorway.

"Miss me?" Andy asked.
