not your average shopping trip!
Time was running short for Jake and his refugees. The grocery store was the closest and the south was not garunteed to have anything for them, as it could be completely picked clean by any other possible survivors. He decided to take two people with him to help him carry things... if they made it back, that is. There wasn't much ammunition, so they wouldn't be able to defend themselves for long if any Radiniri hunters showed up, which was highly possible.
So, packing light, they set off cautiously en route to the grocery store. It was a long, taxing journey getting there, the small group jumping at every pebble they heard skitter accross the ground, and every twig that snapped in the distance. But they did eventually make it to their destination.
Pizza, chicken, toilet paper, toothbrushes and paste, and several other such necessities later, they decide that there is enough to last a few more months in the cubicle. Quietly sneaking up to the broken automatic glass door, they see that outside in the parking lot is exactly what they had been dreading: A Radinri hunter!
Jake began to pray silently while the other two silently drew their pistols and began to creep forward in the hunter's direction, taking aim. He appeared to be the only one around, and was patrolling the parking lot, seemingly off guard.
