On the main floor-

Roy McCrumb and Doug Marley,[b]Wesley[/b] was only a couple of minutes from finishing his treatment of [b]Doug[/b] when there was a metallic banging on the bay doors. [b]Malcolm[/b] held a finger to his lips and motioned for [b]Lou[/b] to join him. The two of them crept across the floor to the open door to the hall with their weapons drawn.

In the basement entryway-
"That's the idea," said Damon. He ushered the group through the open door and went in behind it.

In the hydroponics room-
Damon flicked a light switch on the wall next to the door. Fluorescent lights overhead lit up the vast space beneath the warehouse. There were a few other doors leading off of this room, most of which was taken up by several hydroponic tables. Over each one was an ultraviolet light. "This is our grow operation," said Damon. "As you can see, we grow plenty of ganja here. More than enough for what's left of the city. Those are UV lamps nourishing the plants. The light isn't visible, but it's there. We'll need to retool some of the hydorponics to grow food. We have enough food put away for a little while, but it won't last forever."

"Like, wow," said Heather. "What other drugs you got?"

"We have cocaine, both powder and crack, as well as heroin. That stuff needs to be imported, which won't be happening any more by the looks of things."

"What about crystal meth?"

"We haven't dealt in meth. I guess we could make it if we wanted. Wesley's bright enough to cook that stuff up."

"It's all very impressive.
"Can I eat some of your food?"

On the main floor-

Roy McCrumb and Doug Marley,[b]Roy[/b], [b]Doug[/b], and [b]Wesley[/b] heard [b]Malcolm[/b] say from the hall: "That's far enough, mon."

In the hydroponics room-
Damon laughed. "We've got some upstairs," he said. "When we're done down here, we'll all have dinner. I guess you must be hungry."

"Like, totally," said Heather.

"How come the lights are on down here?" asked Lisa. "I thought the EMP device at the school knocked out all the power."

"We have a generator down here," said Damon. "I'll show you that next. What EMP device?"

"Oh, the scientists built one. That's what took out all the zombies in town."

"Really? Then we need it. We'll worry about that a little later." He led the way across the hydroponics room to a door on the opposite side.

"But we had a generator at the school, and the electromagnetic pulse fried it!"

"I'm guessing it wasn't shielded by tons of concrete." Damon unlocked and opened the door, leading the way inside.

In the generator room-
On the other side of the door was a big room, though nowhere near as large as the hydroponics area. At the back of the room was a large generator that produced a smooth humming sound. Cables led from it into the concrete walls. "This is why we have electricity down here," said Damon. "The lights upstairs haven't worked in the last hour, but that's probably because of the pulse."

Keith-

"Cool! And your power is as safe as houses. This warehouse is the place to be when zombies are rampaging outside."

In the generator room-
"That shouldn't happen any more," said Lisa. "Not around here. The pulse device will make sure of that."

"This is totally awesome!" said Heather. "Nobody will, like, ever find this place."

"Yes, this is the safest place to be," said Damon. "Okay, back to the hydroponics room. Then I'll show you what else is down here." He ushered everyone back out of the door.

Keith followed, keeping-up an enthusiastic manner - without over doing it.

On the main floor-

Roy McCrumb and Doug Marley,[b]Malcolm[/b], and [b]Lou[/b] entered the main floor, along with an ugly man in his thirties. "Thanks, [b]Wesley[/b]," said [b]Doug[/b]. "You did a good job, mon." "Any time, [b]Doug[/b]," said [b]Wesley[/b]. "You're next, [b]Roy[/b]." "Hey, fellas," said the new arrival. "My name's [b]Brian[/b]. What happened to you guys?" "[b]Roy McCrumb[/b]," said [b]Roy[/b] as he sat down next to [b]Wesley[/b], [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2622284/]who got to work[/url]. He [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2622287/]wasn't able to do much[/url] considering the severity of the injury, but he was doing well enough. "Got squeezed near to death by a zombie." "And I'm [b]Doug Marley[/b]," said [b]Doug[/b]. "I got beat up by a couple of rent-a-cops." [b]Brian[/b] examined the Mustang. "Nice wheels," he said. "Too bad about the damage. I could restore her for you, if you like. I'm good with cars."

In the hydroponics room-
After everyone left the generator room, Damon locked it up again. He then led the group to the left wall and opened a door there. "We got living space down here too," he said, indicating about a dozen cots in the barracks-like room on the other side. "This is where you'll be staying."

Darnell smiled and said, "Heather we can do it right here and right now baby."

"He-he, go for it brother!"

In the hydroponics room-
"I could totally go for it," said Heather.

Damon chuckled. "You two kids knock yourselves out. This is your home now."

"Let's go!" Heather took Darnell's hand and went into the bunkroom, closing the door behind them.

Lisa rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything.

"Well, not much else down here you'd be interested in," said Damon. "We've got space down here to store our illicit goods. Drugs, guns, that sort of thing. We keep the legit stuff in the warehouse upstairs. You ready to go back up?"

"Yeah, I'm ready. I'm still hungry too!"

Darnell looked at Heather and smiled. He moved in to kiss her

In the bedroom-
Heather returned Darnell's kiss, wrapping her arms around him and pulling his shirt over his head.

In the hydroponics lab-
Damon ushered Keith and Lisa back into the entryway, then followed them.

In the basement entryway-
"We'll all get something to eat upstairs," said Damon.

Keith Stewart-

"Thanks, Damon."

In the bedroom-
Heather sat down on the bed, pulling Darnell with her, and slowly unbuttoned her blouse.

In the basement entryway-
Damon and Lisa followed Keith upstairs.

In the storage room-
Keith, Damon, and Lisa emerged from underground back into the darkened storeroom.

On the main floor-
Wesley was almost halfway done treating Roy's injury. Ernie walked away from the vehicles and ducked out into the hall for a minute, leaving Brian Stevenson with Malcolm and Lou.

"Yo, boss!" called Ernie from the hall. "We got us a visitor!"

OOC,This is the end of Chapter 5, and congratulations for surviving! Feel free to continue posting and roleplaying, but there will be no more dice rolling until Chapter 6 starts. The gap between chapters will constitute about 15 minutes of game time.

Darnell gets it on with Heather...he does not need 15 minutes to do so however as HE IS A MAN!

OOC,The story continues in the Omaha section of Chapter 6, in the thread linked below.

Bad to the Bone
