She nodded, her face showing her relief. "Good. The only weapon I have is a screwdriver, so I'm kind of screwed. No pun intended."

Since the outbreak where most of the human population died, many hospitals had closed, such as the one Logan was currently sitting on a swivel chair in. She spent most of her time at the hospital, as it had strangely good security that the walking dead couldn't get through easily.
The red-haired girl spun the chair repeatedly before finally stopping by placing her feet on the pharmacy's counter, which she was sitting behind. No one bothered her really. Sure, there were a few living people in the hospital, but they mostly kept to themselves. Everyone else was either killed by a zombie or died from whatever they were in the hospital for. There were a lot of corpses for Logan to dispose of when she first arrived at the hospital. She ran the place, as whoever had been in charge before had run away or was dead. Once in a while, a junkie would come by, searching for their next fix. Logan didn't refuse them meds, as long as they paid her. But all the same, seeing another human being was still pretty out of the ordinary.
“I have two knives. You can take one, and we’ll find a gun for you later,” Pollux suggested, “Honestly the first thing I did was find weapons.”
"That's probably a smart idea. I'm not exactly interesting in killing anyone, human or zombie." Jaylin admitted, staring down at her phone as she followed the directions to the hospital.
Pollux looked at his feet. "I wish that were the case for me… I'm starting to question my morals."
He thought back to early October, just a couple of weeks following the outbreak. Pollux had looked one of the people he loved the most in the eye and pulled the trigger. He shuddered a little at the thought and pushed it away.
Why is there just 10 minute gaps… where nothing happens…))
(Part of it is because I was using my phone to try responding to 3 different discussions, and it was a disaster.)
Jaylin opened her mouth to question why he had shuddered, but decided that it was better to keep her mouth shut. "It's nice to be travelling with someone who can actually kill zombies. I've just been running and hiding this whole time."
(Ack I'm on my phone too and it's so annoying)
(Part of it is because I was using my phone to try responding to 3 different discussions, and it was a disaster.)
oOf))
"I'm sure you can… it's just a matter of whether you will or not," Pollux said, "But of course I'll kill zombies for you when necessary. I hope I can protect us both."
He was walking a bit ahead of Jaylin, suddenly feeling a lot more stressed than normal. Maybe it was because he had another person to worry about now besides himself.
"Don't put all the pressure on yourself. We'll help each other and keep each other safe." Jaylin stated, gesturing to the right as if telling Pollux to turn here.
"Alright, good to know," Pollux replied, "Damn, I just hope that hospital isn't infested."
He kept a sharp eye out in the meantime, and kept his voice very low when he spoke.
"Well it seems to have been closed for a while. Hopefully there's no one inside so we can just find what we need and leave." Jaylin said, still not taking her eyes off of her phone. She took a right turn at a fork in the road, staying on the sidewalk.
After a while, Pollux caught sight of a blue sign with a white H on it.
"We're pretty close, yeah?" he asked, glancing down the road.
They hadn't come across any trouble just yet, and for that, he was glad.
(oh gosh, I missed a lot, how do I yeet myself into this?)
(Maybe they meet your character on the road or near/at the hospital?)
(oh gosh, I missed a lot, how do I yeet myself into this?)
They could be at the hospital, I gues??))
Jaylin pointed to the sign. "That's our place. Hopefully if there are people inside they'll just let us right in without any trouble."
(Oh yeah, your characters could go ahead and meet.)
"Well, if nothing else, I'm armed, and I can only hope they aren't," Pollux said.
They drew closer to the hospital, and Pollux found himself a little more scared than he previously had been. In fiction, usually hospitals were one of the most dangerous places during a zombie apocalypse. However, this one had been abandoned for some time now, and was probably clear of most, if not all zombies. He could only hope.
(she'd probably be stealing all of the medicine)
As they reached the front of the hospital, Jaylin turned to face Pollux. "Remember, only use violence as a last resort." She had just met him, but she assumed that he would listen to what she said. At least, that's what she was hoping for.
"Well, yeah… It's not like I set out to hurt people, you know. It's just… I've had a lot more turn hostile on me in these past several weeks than I ever have before, so I'm prepared," Pollux reassured her, "Believe it or not, I was all lined up to go to medical school and spend a lifetime helping people before everything went to hell."
He made sure his gun was loaded and decided to lead the way in. The front door was blocked off.
Logan heard the sound of the door through the silent hallways of the hospital. Zombies? My usual customers just knock, She thought, grabbing her spiked baseball bat and walking calmly up to the second floor. She peered out the window above the door the sound came from, seeing who it is. People? Never seen these two before. I should go let them in.
She hopped back down the stairs and to the door, her arm idly holding the bat beside her. She slipped a key out of her jacket pocket and unlocked the door, stepping aside to let the man and women inside. "Come in. We shouldn't talk with the door open."
