“I’m one of the heroes; the good guys. I thought everyone knew me?”
    “She runs a daycare. The only television shows she’s familiar with is Elmo or the Teletubbies,” said Paige.
    Henry sighed. “I tell you what…Kristie should go in with you and I’ll watch the girls. My back is pretty sore and I probably won’t be much help bent over and staring at the ground.”
    “See, you need me. I’m coming with,” said Kristie.
    “Why don’t I just go?” asked Paige.
    Kristie turned and looked at her. “You need to keep Kylie calm. Plus, you know what Kris looks like, so if you see her outside, you can get her attention. Obviously, Henry’s never met her.”
    Paige bit the side of her lip. “Oh, fine. Just be careful, mom.”
    Kristie raised her gun and smiled “Don’t worry, honey. I’m getting the hang of this thing. I can shoot at my target from over two feet away, now. Plus, I have Tiny on my side of the ring.”
    “That’s right,” said Tiny, flexing his muscles. “And I’m bringing out the big guns, mama.”
    Paige groaned.
    “Okay Tarzan, just remember what I said and make it quick,” said Henry. “Not only will I have to poop, but it’s going to be dark soon. This place might not have a generator working inside anymore and you two don’t want to be stuck alone on the tenth floor in the dark.”
    “Oh, I don’t know…I could think of worse things,” said Kristie, smiling slyly at Tiny.
    Henry shook his head. “Don’t even think about it. You lose sight of what you’re doing in there and the only one enjoying your bootie will be the zombies. Keep your pants on, both of you.”
    “Oh, for Heaven’s sake we’re not a couple of teenagers,” said Kristie.
    “No, but women can’t seem to control themselves around us. It’s always been a curse in our family; if you want to know the truth,” said Henry.
    Paige rolled her eyes. “Oh, Lord…here we go again…”
    “It isn’t funny. Why do you think my back is so messed up? Not just cause I fell earlier today. Back when I worked the rodeo, it wasn’t the horses or bulls that rode me hard.” He took off his cowboy hat and scratched his head. “Too bad you couldn’t claim disability on that.’
    “You’re incredible,” said Paige, not really believing him anymore.
    “I am but you’re a little young for me. So don’t get any ideas,” he said with a light in his watery blue eyes.
    “I’ll try to control myself,” she mumbled.
    “Okay, we’re out of here,” said Kristie. “And you watch your mouth around my girls, Henry.”
    Henry looked appalled. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
    “You’re looking tired gramps, why don’t you just take a nap,” said Tiny.
    “You just remember my warnings,” grumbled Henry.
    Tiny and Kristie gave each other a kiss for good measure, then got out and bolted towards the front entrance. Two zombies began to follow them immediately but Tiny took them out with his rifle.
    “You know, I think I’m just going to rest my eyes,” said Henry. “Let me know when they come back out.” He then laid his head back and placed his hat over his face.
    “You doing okay?” Paige asked Kylie.
    Kylie nodded. “Yeah, but a little hungry.”
    Paige leaned over and started digging through the bag of snacks next to her. “Chips?”
    Kylie’s eyes lit up. “What kind?”
    Paige sighed, thinking about Cassie who loved those particular chips. “Well, there’s some dill pickle flavored kettle chips.”
    “Yum, I’ll take some.”
    She handed Kylie this chips and opened up a can of grape soda for herself. “You want any?” she asked.
    Kylie shook her head. “No. I still have some water from before.”
    “Okay.”
    Henry began to snore and both girls smiled at each other.
    “He’s a lot quieter when he’s sleeping,” whispered Paige.
    “No doubt.”
    Paige watched as two zombies stumbled by the van without even looking towards them. “Not very good at hunting for their
