13 The Situation Behind the Cinema Doors (1/2)
11:15 AM City Mall Bacoor South Wing – Cinema Lobby
Mark stood in front of a double door leading to one of the cinema halls. This hall is the closest to the cinema entrance. He approached this hall not because it is the closest but this hall was the only hall that had its doors tightly shut.
The others were confused seeing him standing and not opening the door but no one said anything… except for one person.
”Hey, why don't you open that already? Also, can I borrow the bat? I need a weapon.”
Mark looked at Ange who just hopped beside him without warning with incredulity. He was wondering how this girl's head works. Still, he did not question her antics and just sighed before he replied.
”Later. I'll be the vanguard this time and I just can't shoot the gun every time unless we want to die by attracting every single one of those zombies. Also I don't have infinite shells for this.”
The shotgun shells he managed to get isn't that many, the ones he used when they escaped already depleted more than half of what he had. After replying, he then proceeded to plant his ear on the door trying to listen to the sounds inside if there is any.
Hearing his reply, Ange pouted but did not say anything else and just mimicked Mark also sticking her right ear on the door. She then heard sounds inside. The sounds are a little faint but when she heard the sounds, she was petrified for a second before her face turned red and quickly backed off like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
At first, she did not recognize the faint sounds but then when she poured her concentration on listening, what she heard made her heart pound and her face became red in embarrassment. Through the door, she heard moans and panting of a man along with a fain voice of a woman. It was not hard for anyone of age to imagine what was happening inside.
”What's wrong?”
”There are…”
Paula asked Ange in confusion seeing her back off like that. Of course, the flustered girl didn't know how to elaborate what she just heard to her friend who is also a female.
Ange looked at Mark who was still listening to the sounds beyond the door.
'Men are really perverts.'
That is what she thought at first but was forced to dispel it when she saw Mark's stern face. He then stopped listening inside but his expression is graver that before.
Mark then approached Ange and stretched his hand holding the bat towards her.
”Take this for now.”
”You just said that you need it right?”
”Well, you can just say that I changed my mind.”
Mark smiled as he said that but the smile really looked sinister.
”You guys hide back at the snack bar. Don't come out unless I called out.”
He turned around without waiting for replies. The rest looked at each other and nodded among themselves before going back behind the snack bar and hid there.
”What is going on?”
The mother asked while everyone else is looking at Ange.
”There are people inside. They are… having sex... probably...”
Ange hesitated to say what she just heard but she still said it though her face is crimson red. This courageous girl who can bash zombies' faces with a steel baseball bat and did not falter to the scene of blood is actually weak at topics like this.
The mother and the employee's faces also turned red especially the employee as he is an adult man at the age of twenty-nine. Of course, hearing a girl several years younger talk about something like this in front of him, he would feel embarrassed. Furthermore, he is the only male in the group right now since Mark is away!
Surprisingly, Paula did not react that way and just stared at Ange before saying.
”It shouldn't be just that simple right?”
