"What the hell are you looking for, Devon?! Let's hurry up." Brandon called Devon by turning his head 90 degrees behind him. 

Devon, who was looking all over the floor while running downstairs, replied, "Ah. Nothing. Sorry." He increased his speed but slowed down again. 

Brandon finally got annoyed and decided to focus on his speed. Rosy, Rigid was already down to the ground floor. They decided to wait for Devon and Brandon cause:

They would somehow deal with Naomi, and Gwen but they both were not sure how they should deal with Johan's interrogation. 

Devon was constantly looking for Pete. He was making sure he doesn't lose Pete on his way down which eventually slowed down his pace. 

The tip of Devon's ear twitched suddenly. He realized that someone was following him. He quickly brought himself to a stop and turned around.

Behind him was a half-torn neck with bloody eyes, and blood pouring out of its mouth… wide-open wounds, the lust for the brain on their mind.

'Zombie?' Devon's red eyes flashed before he smashed the zombie against the wall by pushing the zombie's chest hard. 

'No. it's Pete!'

"Devon? What's wrong?" Brandon came back walking up to Devon, "Is that a zombie? Wait- did you kill it?" Brandon asked with a worried expression. 

Ryan had clearly instructed them not to kill any of the zombies on their way down. And because of the aura Ryan previously emitted, Brandon was scared to make Ryan angry again.

If the zombie Brandon was seeing in front of him was killed by Devon, he was not sure what Ryan would feel about it when he sees it. 

"N- no. I haven't killed it," Devon too had an anxious expression on his face, he let out a sigh of relief.

'Thank god I targetted its chest. If it was his head, he would have been dead by now.' Devon thought.

When he pushed the zombie against the wall, he made sure to target the zombie's chest and activate his vampire skill of super strength. 

'....it's you…. You are Pete….' Devon finally declared. Although Pete's face was not something Devon would make a guess depending on, he was still clear about Pete's smell, and his body figure. 

Pete always was a fragile-looking guy who always got picked up by bullies. A main source of entrainment for them. But since Ryan changed Colm's face by punching non-stop; no one ever dared to lay a hand on Pete. 

Pete coughed. The gross zombie coughed again. In the next and the last cough, blood spilled all over Devon's hand which was still pressed against Pete's chest.

"Ew! The fuck!?" He let go of Pete, he fell to the ground. Devon quickly pulled his arm away from Pete. 

"Hahaha!" Brandon could not help but laugh, "You should have left that zombie for Ryan!"

"Tch. shut up, Brandon. I haven't killed him. I think…. He's just unconscious." Devon replied while looking at Pete's body and shaking the blood off his hand.

"Unconscious?" Brandon came closer to Pete's body, "Hm… yeah. It's unconscious." Brandon was relieved too. 

"Uh, Brandon. You can go ahead without me,"

"Huh?"

"No, I mean, the zombie right here is Ryan's close friend. He told me to grab him if I saw him. Thankfully, I did find him so I will wait here for Ryan and come out with him."

'Thankfully you didn't kill Ryan's friend.' Brandon thought. 

"Alright. If you say so. I will tell everyone that you are still with Ryan,"

"Yep. thanks. And if Ryan comes out before me or without me, just be sure to inform him that I am waiting on the ground floor's left lobby with…. Pete."

"Alright. Got it." with that, Bradon took off running. 

He saw Rigid and Rosy on the way out. He told them that Devon had decided to wait for Ryan and that they should leave without him.

They both agreed, "Are you sure he will be okay?"

"He will,"

"What I mean is-"

"Nay, I got you. He's with a zombie who's still alive, what if he ends up getting bitten, right?"

"Hm." Rosy nodded.

"Don't worry, he won't bet bitten. And if he did get bitten…. He will turn into something very ugly."

"That's what I was talking about actually," 

"Well, let's just hope that doesn't happen. Devon is not that weak."

"He's not weak, duh, but the zombie might be strong."

"No way. I think- no, I am sure this is their first time experiencing their zombie forms. There's no way a student zombie could evolve that much in a single night; not even a single night but only in a few hours…. Tsk-tsk, it is impossible."

The duet didn't say anything. They quietly walked out of the plaza, right into the group of people waiting for them.

"Dr. Mary, they are here," Steve informed.

"They are here?! W- where are they?" Doc quickly leaned forward from the wall and walked forward. Her eyes were frantically searching for only one person….

"Ryan…?" The expressions of both Gwen and Naomi's faces fell when they didn't see Ryan with the trio.

"Where's Ryan?" Doc asked. Rigid, Rosy, Brandon. Devon and Ryan were not with them. No one actually cared about Devon but they were really worried about Ryan.

"Ryan? Wh- where's Ryan?" Gwen finally asked when they reached close enough to the group.

"He's still inside the building,"

"W- what?"

"Don't worry. He's alright. He took care of their mastermind and said that he had something personal to do with the mastermind. He stayed there to kill a few more zombies before coming out."

"Zombies?" Johan asked.

"Yes. zombies. They exist. Students from our class and Japanese Academy turned into brain-eating creatures overnight. Ryan thinks it will be better to kill all of the zombies before leaving the dorm."

"Argh~ just how long is he gonna make us wait?" 

"He's taking long, damn it." 

Naomi and Gwen facepalmed while taking a step back. They let out a little giggle. Jeez, seriously? It looked as if the worries from their mind suddenly disappeared. 

Johan noticed it, he stepped forward, "I think I should check once. I am still not sure about Ryan's situation."

"Ah, he said he will come out after killing the zombies, right?" Brandon asked. 

"If he said that then he will do, why don't we just wait?" Rigid added.

"NO. I really think I and Mr. Steve should pay him a visit,"

"He said he will come out so he will come out. Just wait!" Naomi, Gwen, and Doc said at the same time while looking straight at Johan.

'W- Woah, what's with the ladies when it comes to Ryan?' Johan panicked.
