The Jerk is a Ghost

"Hello?" my answer. I heard a sigh on the other line.

"You finally answered my call, Vivien." Word of the man on the other line. Huh, this is weird. Why did he call me Vivien? And not Vinchin?

"What's up?"

"Are you free tomorrow?" He asked on the other line.

"No." I immediately answered.

"You're always turning me back. Let's meet up tomorrow then. I have something important to tell you." His words were serious on the other line. I was surprised by what he said. He have something important to tell me? I suddenly felt nervous and my cheeks suddenly turned red. Shuta.

"Hello, Vinchin?" He behaved on the other line.

"I'm here. Sorry Mikey, but I really don't have any time tomorrow. It's family's matter." I word to him. I received silence from the other line. I heard a sigh and the call went down, which surprised me. Did --- Did he just --- Did he just ended a call without saying anything ?! That wimp !!

"Arrrghhh !! Curse you, MIKEY !! SHRIMPP !! A WIMP !! AAGGGHHH !!!" I shouted inside the room and quickly threw my phone to the other side. Don't worry, it's over on the sofa. I just lay down on the bed with a long sigh.

I wonder how 'the future going? Did we stop Blanca taking control over Tokugawa? Or did we create something much worse? I guess, all the answers will be answered when we finally get back. I closed my eyes. I still can't stop thinking about what Mikey said.

"I have something important to tell you."

Sheesh. And he said it in a serious tone. Aagghh! I do not know what to do. Half of me wanted to meet him up, and the other half of me wanted to attend tomorrow's family's gathering. I need to think this through. Be wise with your decision, Vivien. Be wise. In this time, listen to your mind, not your heart. people who can get inside this store, if ever.

My eco-bag is full of batteries and other stuffs because Lucas got more than me. I also found a flashlight and lighter at the cashier so I took more than twenty but of course I had some left over because there was still a lot of stock and on display. I'd rather get a condom, right !? I put the lighters in the mini-pocket of my bag with only screws and nails.

Uno, Rev and Jona were supposed to be at the groceries but it ended up only Rev and Uno took it.

Of course, I also snatched the loots and the ones that have been expired for a long time.

"Is everything ready?" I asked and everybody nodded. "Great let's get ready for our return--"

"Putangina! There's someone outside." said Rev so I fell silent.

"Hide." I only said so and hid in the locker of mops and buckets. I don't know where jba hid because I insisted on squeezing inside.

We waited for a second and we were just surprised because no one entered. But zombies! How did they now we are hiding and getting loots here? To my knowledge our every move was weak. And they are inly distracted by lights and sounds. But all the lights we're out. And even worse, they break the glass in just a glimpse.

They may have been hit on the head again. This freaks! The zombies approached the cashier and I saw Rev and Lucas hiding. While Uno, well, I don't know where he hid.

It looks like the zombies are looking for someone using their. . . smell? Heck! Another discovery! And a worse one.

They sniffed what was in the cashier. And maybe they smelled Luke and Rev.

'Not many people came in but it's dangerous, especially since we might make noise and be caught by occupying personnel or zombies might come.

He later left the cashier. He may have smelled the body of the murdered cashier earlier because it was a zombie.

Lucky them. How about me!? They might smell the my scent.

I was nervous as the zombies got closer and closer to me. Closer and closer to the locker where I was hiding.

I covered my mouth, controlled my breathing, sweats we're about to drop and my heart beats faster than before. So this is how it feels when Zia dies? And was he still able to admit to Uno? Yes, Tara told me what happened. And I can feel how brave Zia is. I'm so proud of her that she can still fight the zombies even though she's very nervous. The zombies is 2 meters away from me. It was still almost far away but I could feel it approaching. Slowly and steadily. Bloods we're in his face. There are two more behind him.

I no longer knew what I should do. I was just dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. My whole system is numb.

When it approached I immediately grabbed the door. It was obvious from the window that its face was small.

He sniffed the door first and confirmed if anyone was inside. And you

Oh

shit!

When he hit his head on the locker, blood was splattered on my face. Disgusting!

I immediately bent down so that no more blood would splatter on my face. I was lucky too and I covered my mouth but I'm sure I could taste his slimy blood. Yuck.

I waited for a while and the surroundings became quiet. There is also no more zombie rapping in the locker.

"Get out of there." Lucas' voice so I went out and I was just surprised that all the zombies were already on the floor and had no heads.

They took action while I was in the locker.

"Let's get out of here. Before anyone or anything can enter again." said Uno and opened the back door. When he opened, we were just surprised by the crowded room like what the f**k!
