Massive is an understatement for the size of this megastructure. It's only one story, but it stretches for almost a block wide and long. It has four sections: Hardware, Lumber, Misc., and Bath and Body. It has everything you need to barricade a fort.. Though, don't think that only one person has thought of that. This place is in the beginning phases of being looted tremendously. Be careful when coming in here, you never know what kinda of psychopaths are running about with chainsaws and improvised weapons. Don't forget to grab a scythe, iron bar, or a sledge hammer on your way out.

The dark blue SUV pulled up to the store,it's one working headlight flickering off. Anna sighed and leaned forward, touching the crack on the windshield.
"Dammit..." she murmurred.
The woman sighed once more for good measure, reeling back and looking at the store ahead. She roughly rubbed at her face and then suddenly looked back over at the young man beside her.
"You okay, kid?" she asked.

Arc at the glass, as the vehicle came to a stop. It was in bad shape, but it couldve been much worse then what it was now. The crack in the widsheild was able to be ignored, but a crack only worsens. One of the things needed inside the hardware store would be sealent. It would harden the glass around the crack, aswell as prevent unwanted elemental damage. He looked over at Anna, and then gave a faint smile. "I should be asking you the same thing, chika..." Arc open up the door, and then stepped outside, closing it softly behind him. If any unwanted noise could be avoided, he would try to keep it down the best he could. As Anna left the drivers side, Arc looked at her shotgun, and then remembered something.
Reaching around to his extra pouch, he pulled out a speedloader for a shotgun. It wouldnt be much use for the kind she was using, but the shells could be removed and used in any. Walking over to her, Arc held out the metal block toward Anna. "Your low on shotgun shells, arent you? Here ya go, take mine... Theres a dozen, it should do you until we find more..."

Anna reached over and grabbed the item and began to remove the extra shells. While doing that, she walked ahead, toward the Hardware store, putting away the ammo.
"Thanks. And I'm fine by the way," she said, replying to his comment previously. She reloaded her shotgun, put it away and un-holstered her side-arm from beneath her arm.
"So you think there's anything left in there?" she asked, nodding her head forward.

Arc walked ahead, and then opened up the main door. This was a fairly large building, it would be nearly impossible to not find anything inside. But it looked to be looted about a billion times, and most of the good stuff was probably already gone. "Hopefully theres enough for something..." As Arc cut down and isle, he scanned through the tops of the shelves, checking to see is anything could be of use. He came to the blades section, and saw the most of them had already been taken from the shelves. Then suddonly, he heard a rattling coming from above his head. Looking up, he couldnt seen anything, as most of the lights inside the place were either broken, or too dim to focus right.
"Hey... Did you hear that, Anna?" The same noise was heard, this louder then before. Arc pulled out his SMG, and aimed it upward, flicking on his LED light. Scanning the ceiling tiles, he noticed that some of them were missing. Then he heard more rattling above him, moving around, almost like there was someone inside the gaps. Then a loud crash brought him rolling to the side against the wall, as number of various sized Saw blades were dropped where he was standing. He fired three rounds at the tiles above him, but didnt seem to hit anything. Then out of the silence, he heard a haunting cackle of a womans laughter. Keeping his SMG pointed above him, Arc responded to the voice. "Were not infected, you dont have to worry..." But somehow, he knew that whoever was up there was well aware of that aleady...

Another tile from the ceiling opened and a couple more random sized blades fell from above. Anna dodged out of the way and onto the wall, Arc was against. She laid her gloved hand on his shoulder and kept her eyes up.
"You okay kid?" she asked. As she did, she could hear the feminine cackle and more rattling. She aimed her weapon at where white dust began to shift downward. Anna squeezed onto the trigger, nailing the specific area four times.
"COME DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS UP AND I'LL TRY NOT TO KILL YOUR CRAZY ASS!" she warned. Suddenly another tile fell directly over them. Anna grunted and shoved Arc away, managing to bipedal herself back and also away from the crumbling tile.

Arc stumbled backwards across the floor after Anna pushed him, and he saw the debris fall between her and him. Getting back balance onto his feet, he looked over, and then yelled out. "Im fine. Lets sweep the area. Stay on your toes, and keep moving!..." Arc ran down the isle, and then slipped into another, out of Annas sight. He browsed down the horisontal shelves, seeing if anyone was hiding beteen them. As he moved passed another isle, he saw the blur of someone run passed him. Whipping his gun around, he quickly aimed left and right, seeing if he could catch the target. But as he turned around, someone swung a flat board into his side, knocking him breathless.
Dropping his SMG as he was brought to the floor, Arc looked up at the man who struck him with the peice of wood, now pulling out a machette. The psycho instantly swung in the air, but Arc sweeped him onto the floor with a kick. Getting back onto his feet as he grabbed his SMG, the crazed man slashed his large knife into Arcs leg, cutting it across his knee. After yelling out in pain, he used his other foot to pin the man into the floor, grabbing the machette from his hands. Bringing it up, Arc drove it into the mans chest, and then repeated this four more times until he was motionless on the ground.
But before he could check his wound, another one of the men from the group appeared on his other side, pointing his SMG at his face. Arc looked at the man, he could tell by how he held the gun that he never fired at another man before. Staring him directly in the eye, he smirked. The man gasped at this, as the gun trembled in his hands. Arc took the opportunity to strafe to the side, and swing the machette downward on the mans arm, lopping it off at elbow joint. As the man screamed out in pain, letting the SMG fall to the ground, Arc hacked with the machette once more, this time cutting it deep into the mans skull. He kicked him down onto the ground, still leaving the blade inside, as the screaming instantly came to a stop. Picking up his gun, Arc strapped it on, and then turned to look across the store for Anna.

Anna heard some odd noises coming from the side Arc ran into. When she went to go investigate she heard a light whooshing noise coming from above. She quickly glanced up and right when she did she quickly fell back, a falling blade cutting her forearm.
If she hadn't moved faster her arm would have been totally screwed! She could see someone's face looking down at her now before moving away. Before she responded, her gun was knocked out of her hand and before she knew it, her face met with a right hook.
Anna flew back, wincing and rubbing at her jaw as blood trailed down her busted lip. The culprit was a rather large man with a trench coat and a hammer peeking out of his pocket. He pulled out his weapon, kicking her gun aside and swinging down at her. Anna rolled away, sweeping her leg at his feet, instantly tripping him.
"GRAH!" with that grunt, he waved his arms, trying to maintain his balance. Anna took this as an advantage and got to her feet. The man stood tall again, his eyes narrowed at the woman while he took another swing. Anna being heavily trained, stopped his attack with her forearm and kicked his shin out, tightening her grasp on his arm and pinning it behind his back.
This forced him to drop the hammer, but as he did there was that white dust again. The former cop muttered a single curse word before letting go and moving away. Before the big man had a chance to react he got a saw blade through the crown of his skull.
Anna looked away for a moment, trying to take it all in before grabbing her gun and looking up once more.

Arc saw the man attacking Anna, as he stepped over the dead body, and lightly jogged toward her location. But before he even had a chance to help, the man was dead on the ground, already taken care of. Arc knelt down against a shelf, and rolled up his pant leg high above his knee. Looking at the gash that came across his leg, he wiped the blood away, and then held the wound together. It was pretty deep, and the bleeding wouldnt stop unless he held the gap together. Walking on it wasnt the best idea, but he didnt have much of a choice. Arc saw Annas arm, it didnt look as bad his, so at least he didnt have to worry as much about her. "Arh... Im... Gonna go try and find something to stop the bleeding, watch yourself..." Arc stood up, and slowely limped away from the isle, stopping ever now and then to balance himself on a shelf.

Anna wiped the blood off of her mouth and started walking after Arc. She kept her eyes up as she did so, making sure they wouldn't be surprised with anymore dangerous objects falling from the ceiling.
She quickly glanced at the man's leg and sighed. "I'd help you but then I wouldn't be able to cover you if---" before she could complete that sentence, she noticed two tiles shifting around.
The woman clenched her teeth and shot at the area, hearing a scream. Above, there was another woman with dishelved hair, laying on her back, holding onto her bleeding shoulder. She cried out in obviously in pain.
"I'm goin' up there, try not to die, kiddo," Anna advised before releasing the empty clip and slamming in another. At this rate she only had that current one plus one last clip tucked away.
With that said, she ran off to find an open vent.

"Right... Will do..." Arc spoke after Anna ran off, he chuckled to himself, and then continued his way to find something to stop the bleeding from his leg, keeping a hand on his gun incase he was attacked again. After moving though the simple repairs isle, he notiched something on one of the shelves. It was a staplegun, with a bunch of boxes on the shelf below it. He picked them both up, and then let his SMG hang from his side. Back up against the shelf, she sat down onto the concrete floor, opening up the box of staples, and loaded them up into the clip. Arc knew this would be a quick, but painful method for patching himself up, and it worked like a charm.
Taking a deep breath, he turned the safely off on the staplegun, and then pressed it to his wound, holding the two peices of flesh together. Cringing in pain, he closed his eyes, and pulled the trigger. Holding himself back from yelling out loud, he urked in pain, then pulled the trigger seven more times along the gash. Breathing out exausted, his heart raced inside his chest, the shock was enough to have him gasping for air again after. Arc dropped the staplegun to the floor, as he slammed his fist into a box, taking rapid breaths. Then he twisted the bottem of his pant leg into a knot, tightening the grip on the wound. It was to make up for not having any bandages, but it would be only temporary. Arc gripped his SMG, then stood up and aimed it down more isles as he limped through them.

Meanwhile, Anna heard Arc's scream as she walked on through the store. She spun around on her heel, looking around, scanning the area for him. "Goddammit, what'd he get himself into now?"
Before she could run back, she heard loud creaking and before she knew it she caught a glimpse of someone struggling to climb out of a vent ahead. It appeared to be a woman.
Anna glared and cautiously approached the lady, gun drawn. As the wounded woman managed to get down, she climbed off of a sturdy shelf and tried to get out of sight. As she turned an aisle, the cold, steel, barrel of a gun nudged against her forehead.
She gasped and clutched her wound tighter. In front of her stood Anna, her aim steady and her eyes stern.
"Hands behind your head. NOW."

Arc came around the corner from behind a shelf, and saw Anna with the gun to one of the crazies head, pinned to the ground. He limped over, and then looked down at her, she had a faint resemblence to one of the men he killed. Maybe they were family, but the thought didnt cross his mind for long. He had already killed enough people back in South Africa to know what it feels like, and these people were nothing more then psychopaths ready to kill. Arc and Anna werent here to harm them, they made this messy for themselves. He shook his head, and then glared at the woman, who was obviously enraged by the situation. "Your friends are dead, but just remember... You drew first blood..."

The woman's eyes filled with tears, fearing the worse for herself. Anna looked over at some sets of rope hanging on a nearby rack.
"Arc, hand me one of those sets," she ordered, gesturing for him to grab it. The man did as he was told, limping over to it, grabbing some and limping back. Anna reached down, forced her to roll over onto her stomach,pinning her arms back.
"Why don't you just f**king kill me already, you sonsab*tches!" she cried out. Anna stomped her foot on the woman's back, shutting her up and keeping her down.
"Shut the f**k up and don't f**king move."
She grabbed the rope and tied her up. With a kick of her foot, the lady was turned over, staring up at the two. "I'll f**king kill you two! I'll kill you!"
Anna smirked and looked over at the glass doors seeing a few of the undead shuffling about.
"Not if they kill YOU first. Now shut the hell up or I'm gonna blow your God damn brains out."
The lady cringed and tried suppressing her tears.

Arc passed Anna the rope coil from the shelf, and then stood by and watched as she forcefully threatened the woman. He wasnt the type to be doing this kind of stuff, unless this was an interrogation. It was either live, or die, never suffer, but after the attack prior, it really didnt matter to him what happened to the woman. Arc walked away from the scene, and stood infront of the glass doors, watching the zombies press there bloody face toward him against the glass. He places his hand on his cut, soaking his finger in blood, and then moving it infront of the zombies face on the other side of the door. They were hungery, he could tell just by watching them admire his hand.
