Andreya looked down at Louis as he slept, and sighed a bit. She stood up, but fell back on the sofa. She sighed a bit realizing that her attack had taken a lot out of her. She closed her eyes as she leaned up against the back of the sofa looking up at the ceiling. Andreya sighed again as she took out her cell phone, and scanned it over realizing that Thorton had yet to contact her. She was really growing worried over the man. He had never gone this long without contacting her, even when he was out on his missions. She sighed a bit as she laid back down on the sofa. She grabbed the pillow and wrapped her arms around it as she rested her head on the arm rest.
She just laid there until she could feel the sleep coming over her once more. She yawned a bit as she shifted on the sofa, and rolled onto her other side in order to face the back of the sofa. She rubbed her forehead into the back of the sofa. Andreya sighed again as she shifted a bit more, before she to had joined Louis in slumberer land. Though unlike her previous sleep, her dreams were more settle, and empty.

Louis awoke, hearing a repetive beeping sound coming from his wrist watch. It marked midnight, according to the blurry 12:00 displayed. He rubbed his eyes, and then stood up, stretching his back. Was his sleep schedual ever messed up, it felt like morning. Walking over to the fridge, he opened it up, and then took a Sprite from the bottem shelf. Instantly, he opened it, and then downed it with speed. Louis needed a rush to wake up, he couldnt stand the sleepy like state. After that, he crushed the can, and tossed it onto the counter. Louis noticed the microwave, and then had an idea. Searching the drawers and shelves, he came across a wide variety of instant noodles. Grabbing two bowls from another shelf, along with forks, he went to work...
The microwave made a loud ding, telling Louis it was done. He took out the hot bowl, and set it on the counter. The aroma of chicken filled his nose, it was very plesent. He pretty much scarfed down the noodles, as it was only his second since they had came to the Museum. The second bowl was finished in the microwave, and he took that one out, only he set it onto the table next to the couch. This one was beef flavored, and much thicker smell then the chicken, but none the less a good powerful meal. Louis grabbed another can of Sprite from the fridge and a fork, then set them beside the bowl on the table. Reaching over, he silently tapped Andreya on the shoulder. Though still not wanting to disturb her sleep, felt it was the right thing to do. "Hey kiddo, im gonna be in the storage room across from here. Food here for ya, pop in whenever your finished..."
Louis left the room, and then opened the door to the north wing storage room. This was much larger then the central storage room, but was marked safe by his previous scout the day before. It was more connected with the lounge then with the art itself, and mostly had empty bottles, furniture, reading material, kerosine lamps, mainly odds and ends. Louis found that two of the kerosine lamps were full, and he had an idea. Taking two empty bottle, he filled them up with the kerosine, and then corked them with a bit of rag sticking out. He pocketed the two of them inside his coat, and then kept his light in the pocket near them. Aside from the bottles, he found a shelf full of multi labled tubes and such. They were a wide range of chemicals, and Louis remembered that Andreya had been intrested in the sort...

Andreya shifted on the sofa as she rolled over to look at the table with the bowl of soup. She smiled lightly as she sat up and stretched her arms. She yawned again as she reached out to pick up the soft drink. She stopped before she remembered that she hadn't taken her medication. Reaching into her backpack she pulled out several pills, and popped them in her mouth using the soda to wash them down. After words she quickly ate the bowl of Beef Noodle soup which she loved to eat. It was probably her most often ate food while she was in the dorm. Andreya finished the soft drink, and threw it in the trash.
Stretching her arms as she stood up, she walked to the window and looked down at the ground. She sighed a bit as she rested her head against the window. "Looks like it was just a false hope," she told herself as she looked toward the door, and noticed the storage room was open. She walked across the hall and yawned again as she looked at Louis shuffling threw the supplies. "Thank you for the breakfast, lunch, supper . . . or what ever it's called right now," she said with a laugh. She looked around the room before tilting her head. "So what are you looking for?" she asked lightly.

Louis turned around toward Andreya, and then nodded his head, and giving a smirk. "Early breakfast... Heh" He walked back over to the shelf full of empty bottles, and then he heard a shuffle on top of some boxes on the opposite ledge. But he pulled out his .45 and quickly scanned the room upon hearing a bottle fall off, smashing onto the ground upon impact. It was only a rat, scurrying outside the storage room. Louis grinned, and then lowered his weapon. He could never ever be too worked up over the small things, because of how easily they could turn into a deadly situation. Walking over to Andreya, he motioned his hand towards the shelf full of chemicals.
"Check out that rack of bottles. Must be hundreds of different chemicals stored away... You were good with that sort of thing, am I right? Probably have access to Amonia, all the way down to zico-what now!" Louis wasnt certain what kind of things Andreya was capabable scientifically, but he did remember her messing with some acidic chemicals back at the University. Maybe she could make something useful, at least, thats what he was hoping for. While his .45 was still out, he made sure both magazines were full before putting it back. He hadnt remembered the last time he checked, but it never hurt to be safe. Looking back at Andreya, Louis stood by her side, looking up and down at the rows of different color glasses. "So... You are gonna show me a magic trick, right?"

Andreya smiled as she nodded slightly. "Sure," she said lightly as she stepped into the room. Her eyes scanning the shelf a bit and studying the chemicals. She might have been trying to keep up in school, but it didn't mean she didn't know what she was doing. The problem was how quickly they were going about teaching. It took her longer to learn things thanks to being so far behind. Andreya sighed a bit as she picked up an empty bottle. Scanning threw the chemicals she started mixing things, poring one chemical and then another, and then one more. Enough to make sure that it started fizzing, but nothing more. She corked the small vial, and shook it a bit. "Smoke bomb," she said with a smile as she threw it outside of the room. Just as the vial busted it started pulling a clear white smoke into the room.
"I c- can also make it so t- that it covers scent," she said lightly as she looked back at the chemicals. "G- give me a b- bit and I can make other things as well." With that said she went back to mixing the chemicals, and when she finished with one she set it on the shelf, and when to work on another one. "W- who are you looking for?" she asked lightly as she looked up at him. "I- I'm sorry if that was inappropriate," she said as she went back to her chemicals.

Louis admired the smoke bomb in the hallway, it would be fairly useful. And when Andreya said she could make one to cover up scents, he instantly thought it could be used against those undead to cover up the smell of blood. It amazing him how much she could make, and was lucky to have found the chemicals inside this storage room. But Andreya then asked him who he was looking for. Quickly appologising, but he didnt mind. Louis then sat down against the wall, laying his back straight up. "Well now... Curious, are we?" As much as he wanted to avoid the answer, he knew that it would only come up down the road. Besides, he had no reason to hide anything.
"Im searching for a man named J-..." For a minuit, he reframed from saying the mans name. It was a bit akward, and he closed his eyes to try and get the words out. Louis didnt know what it mattered to Andreya what his name was, but by now, she would easily sense a lie. Swallowing once before speaking again, he opened his mouth to finish what he started. "Im searching for a man named... A man named Joey..." There, he said it, finally. But now would follow a reason, and would that mess things up for him in the long run? Probably not. But one question was not on his mind. "Joseph... K... D... You dont happen to know him, do you? Heh... But of a character, he is..." ...And quite a hard man to find... Louis spoke quietly.

Andreya smiled as she looked down at Louis before she started to scan the chemicals again. She sighed a bit as she picked up the six vials she had made. "I o- only had enough for to smoke and four e- explosives," she said as she looked at him. She smiled as she knelt down and patted him on the shoulder. "I- I don't know how m- much help I'll be, b- but I don't know h- how much help I'll be," she said lightly. She smiled as she stood up and handed him two of the explosive vials. "F- for emergency. If w- we find anything else I'll see what I can do." She looked out to the lounge they were staying in. "I- I'll help if you want me t- to, but I don't know how much help I'll be," she repeated as she looked down at him. "B- but I'll try my best. Y- you did save me," she said with a smile.
"N- now get off the floor. Y- you get sick like that, and y- you wont be help to your friend i- if your sick," she said as she pulled him up onto his feet. She smiled weakly before walking to the lounge. "W- we can leave w- when your ready," she said lightly as she stuck the remaning four vials in her backpack. She straightened up her skirt, and smiled lightly. "An t- thank you for the e- early breakfast."

Louis grinned, and then leaned against the wall. Putting his hand into his coat pocket, he looked at Andreya with a very puzzled face. He wasnt quite sure what to make of it all, was it for the right reason that he needed to find Joey? Feeling the peice of paper inside his pocket, which was a map of his approximate location, he drilled it a bit deeper. Louis closed his eyes for a but longer then a standard blink, and then stared at Andreya once again. This time, his eyes showed a mixture of puzzle and surprised, but still greatful no matter what the outcome. "So... You mean to tell me that... Youll help me find him?"
Louis closed his eyes now, and then pictured the map in his mind. Deep down inside, he knew exactly where Joey was, and what he was doing right now. Kind of funny to be thinking about it, actually. At first he was in denile Joey was still alive, but then he couldnt possibly think that. Even though it crossed his mind mutiple times. "Im not even sure if hes..." Louis didnt mean to speak it aloud, he was only lost inside his head. Nothing ever held him tightly like this moment did, it was a strange aura surrounding him. Forcing him to go on with it. "Youll... Really... Help me find him?"

Andreya looked back at Louis and smiled. "If you let me," she said lightly as she started straighting things up. Though it was pointless, but some how it kept her at ease while trying not to think about what was going on. Andreya sighed a bit as she looked at Louis. "D- don't think about it t- till you see it with your eyes. Y- your head doesn't a- always know what's right," she spoke lightly as she threw away the last bit of trash. She sat down at the table opening the salt shaker and dumping the salt on the table. She then started to play with it, running her finger around in it, and drawing in it.
She looked back at Louis and smiled again. "T- the decision is yours w- weather I come or not, but I w- would like to repay the f- favor," she said lightly as she flattened the salt out on the table. She smiled lightly as she licked the salt off her fingers. "S- so, Louis, what will it be?" she asked as she turned around in her chair to face him. "W- we can leave now or w- wait. I'll leave it up to you," she said as she tilted her head a bit waiting for his answer.

Louis smiled greatly, and not just a cheap fake smile like he put on for other people. This was one that he never had in a good long time, it was something he wasnt used to. Andreyas kind will to help him made him feel like he finally did somthing right, like he wasnt a bad person. Louis was nearly double her age, but at this moment, he felt a young as ever. Now he was smiling bigger, and then suddonly, he let out a laugh. "Ahhh hahaha! I really appriciate it, kiddo... Thanks, I really needed that..." Grinning widely, Louis stood up straight, and then put his hands out of his pockets. He quickly walked back into the lounge, and grabbed the backpack by the couch. Bringing it back into the room, he lifted it onto the table. "Take what you think youll use... And lets hit the road."
Louis nodded, and then slowely walked out of the room, waiting for Andreya to quickly gather her things together. As everything was set, they both went down the steps, and then left the museum. They could easily return anytime, or save this place for other people willing to make good use of it. He opened the passenger door, letting Andreya get inside. Closing the door, he jumped into the drivers side, and then leaned back in the seat. Louis pulled the printed off map from his pocket, and handed it to Andreya. "Thats where he lives... Deep inside the Arklay Forest. You can probably guess we wont be going near there in the night time, though. But anyways, I recon hes somewhere in this city... Were gonna need to find a good map. Any ideas? You lead the way..."

Andreya smiled as she nodded slightly. She scanned threw over the map for his friends location. She had lived in Raccoon City for almost a full year now, but she didn't know it like the back of her hand. She thought for a moment before she nodded in agreement with herself. "The Library," she said lightly as she looked up at Louis. "It's o- on the east side of town. I w- went there a lot to study. T- they keep a lot of u- up dated maps for people to look over," she said lightly as she folded up the map he had given her and stuck it in her pocket.
She watched the street as Louis pulled away. Downed cars, people still screaming threw the night air. She sighed a bit as she wondered if this was how the first outbreak went. She looked up at Louis before looking down at her backpack. "W- was this how the f- first outbreak happened?" she asked lightly as she looked back up at him. She smiled weakly before looking away. "I- I just came here right t- toward the end of the last o- outbreak. I never r- really dealt with the undead. I f- faced a few BOW's, but not really to many walkers." She sighed a bit as she watched them turn the corner.
((Louis and Andreya now at the East Side Library Ruins.))
