The Supplies Monster - Issue 27 of Beyond The Dead
Lionell: Trust me, I used to wake up every morning and just make pancakes for breast fast!

Willow: I’m sure you did, but what makes you think they’re better than mine?

Lionell: Tell you what, I’ll make some pancakes, and you make your own, and I’ll try yours while you try mine, sound good?

Willow: Is this a challenge?

Lionell: Yea sure is!

Willow: Ha-ha! You’re on!

For the next ten minutes the two playfully begin to make their own batter of pancakes. Every once in a while there would be a little playful push until finally the two were done. Before the two could take a bite out of the others pancake, there was a knock on the front door. Lionell opens the door to reveal Ryu at the front door.

Ryu: Sorry to interrupt you guys, but Anthony told me to let you know that you’re going on the supply run, which will be in about 15 moments, so once you’re ready just meet me at the front entrance.

Lionell: Seriously?

Ryu: Yeah, you might as well start getting used to it man, because you’ll at least have to do this multiple times in a week or two.

Lionell: Damn, well thanks for letting me know, I meet up with you later. Ryu: Alright cool, well hurry up, because time isn’t going to stop any time soon.

-

 NaTron: So who’s going this time Ryu? Ryu looks down at his clipboard that holds multiple names.

Ryu: Well it’s obviously you and I, then there’s Alfred, Mark, Walter, Greta, and Dessi… Ryu continues on too name a few more names.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi sighs in a sign of relief that Lionell was coming.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ryu: Oh, I forgot a name! And Lionell! Dessi sighs again, but this time it wasn’t a sigh of relief.

<p class="MsoNormal">Pecks: What’s wrong Dessi?

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Oh nothing, everything is fine.

<p class="MsoNormal">Pecks: Alright, cool just holler at me if you need help.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Of course Broderick.

<p class="MsoNormal">Pecks: Hey, what I say about calling me by my first name? Pecks smiles

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Oh whatever!

<p class="MsoNormal">From the corner of her eyes she could see Lionell walking towards him. He had casual clothes on, with a Desert Eagle on his waist.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Hey guys!

<p class="MsoNormal">Ryu: Good, just hop on the bus and well get going.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell begin approaching towards the much fancier bus. It had blue and white stripes on the side and inside of the bus were much softer seat cushions. Greta, Mark, and Dessi sat in the back. Ryu was in the driver seat ready to pull off, and Walter, Alfred, Lionell, Pecks, and Tron sat in the middle of the bus.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: How it do main man Alfred! Lionell sits down in the seat across from Alfred.

<p class="MsoNormal">Alfred: Yo, I feel amazing man!

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Really? What happen?

<p class="MsoNormal">Alfred: Let’s just say, I think this Elfred thing is official!

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Ha-ha! Elfred?

<p class="MsoNormal">Alfred: Yeah! You and Willow are Lillow!

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: O wow, very interesting man! So does this make you kind of like my brother in law?

<p class="MsoNormal">Alfred: I mean in a way yea!

<p class="MsoNormal">Walter: What are you young bloods talking about?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Girls, man…

<p class="MsoNormal">Walter: Man, what a coincidence that we’re on a bus, this high school again?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Whatever dude, don’t even get me started about you.

<p class="MsoNormal">Walter: Trust me; I got a lot of amazing high school stories! Well I’m going to take a nap, wake me up, when we at our destination.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Hey, I’ll be right back. Lionell gets up out of his seat and begins walking towards the back of the bus. He immediately takes a seat next to Dessi.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: What’s up? Been quiet…

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Nothing much, you?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Same, just weird seeing you doing stuff like this…

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Why? Is that a problem?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: No, not at all, I’m just afraid you’ll end up being more bad ass then me!

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Sure, I mean Greta is able to shoot a gun, what’s the difference?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Because I grew up around one of the biggest girly girls I have ever met!

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: I wasn’t that girly.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Look, I don’t like the way things been, if there something wrong, then just tell me… Things aren’t like how they used to be…

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: What are you saying?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: I’m saying, we don’t play around as much… It’s just- I don’t know you’re different.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Well sometimes you have to grow up Lionell, there’s people dying, and you’re worried about how I don’t laugh at your jokes or anything like that? Grow up.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: You’re telling me to grow up? In the past few months, I had to fucking witness over two dozen of people die! I lost Ajay, a whole family that took us in got swept apart, and on top of that I have many people blood on my hand! I don’t even fucking know how many people have died! And you’re telling me to grow up? Kill someone for others happiness and you’ll see what growing up is like. Lionell quickly got up, as all eyes were on him. He walked towards the front, where hardly anyone was sitting at besides Ryu who was driving.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ryu: Damn, rough shit…

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: I don’t know, I thought I had a pace here… Trying to enjoy being happy for once…

<p class="MsoNormal">Ryu: Just some people can be ignorant man, you just got to be strong about it, you know?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Yea, I keep telling myself that, but it’s like the cycle just repeats itself.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ryu: Well sorry about that man, all I can say is just stick with the people you love the most... Like your girl Willow, or your cousin Paxtan.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Yea, I never thought about that, thanks man. <p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;">Ryu: No need for thanking me man, it’s just only right.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;">-

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;"> <p class="MsoNormal">Jay: Where the hell you been?

<p class="MsoNormal">Nick: Just been hanging out with my girl Kelsey…

<p class="MsoNormal">Jay: And who’s Kelsey?

<p class="MsoNormal">Nick: That red head that you guys said I couldn’t get.

<p class="MsoNormal">Bradley: Nick in love!

<p class="MsoNormal">Nick: Oh come on guys.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jay: Man, you haven’t even bothered to holler at us, I mean the only reason you’re here is just because you’re on guard duty.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nick: Really guys? It’s like that?

<p class="MsoNormal">Bradley: Man, you know we’re just playing.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jay: You know, what really sounds good.

<p class="MsoNormal">Bradley: What may that be?

<p class="MsoNormal">Jay: Some fish, I haven’t had any in a while.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nick: Maybe Lionell could take us.

<p class="MsoNormal">Bradley: No way, just too get some fish? I am not trying to get eaten over some damn fish. <p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;">Jay: That’s why we don’t get eaten…

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;">-

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;"> <p class="MsoNormal">The bus entered into the outer parts of the city of Baltimore.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: This place would look the same, if all this stuff didn’t happen. Lionell looked around at the few stores who looked like they had been raided all ready.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Yea, it would have. Dessi takes a seat next to him.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: What do you want?

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Look, I’m sorry! I have just been depressed lately, and I didn’t realize everything you been through.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Look it does alright, I understand, just try to think more before talking.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Well I’m really am sorry…. There’s a long awkward silence between the two, until Dessi breaks it up.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: So, what exactly happen with Ajay and the rest?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Well honestly, I just don’t like supply runs… Someone always either get hurt, or killed. One of those people was Ajay, turned the corner and boom he was just bit. He just sat there with tears in his eyes begins us to put him out of his memory.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Wait, so you shot him in the head?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Well I didn’t, Walter actually did…

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Oh, what about the others?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Well they all pretty much died within the same hour…. The fences broke down, and some people weren’t as lucky.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: What about those bandits?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Well then we met all of these new people, like Greta, Mark, Alfred and everyone else besides Elena and Willow… We had assembled a little army, and we were able to take down the school, only person we had loss was Dee…

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Dee?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Yea, Paxtan was pretty upset about it, he been being mostly a wallflower…

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: So how did Willow and Elena come along?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Well actually they’re sisters… I had just found this BMW in the parking lot of the school, and driving back to the mansion I seen these two girls that needed help… Turnt out there car broken down, so I told them they were welcome to stay at the mansion. Then somehow Willow and I became a thing.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Oh, Willow seems like a good girl.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: Yea, so now it’s your turn.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dessi: Well we Lexi and I took the back roads like you told us, and we didn’t have any problems… We came up here, and we couldn’t find my family… I only found my father zombified, so we left to head back to your old house and came upon the neighborhood… When I found out it was Anthony running the place, I had freaked but then we just kept talking more and more, and eventually we became a thing.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: I guess you had the easier route… <p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;">Dessi: Ha-ha, yea I guess I did. Before the two could realize where they were, the bus stopped in front of the local mall.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;">Lionell: Yea, let's just hope this time, the supply monster don't get too any of us!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;">-

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0in;"> <p class="MsoNormal">It’s still a sunny day in Misty Forrest. Everyone is doing their individual jobs, and volunteering for jobs. Diamond was out on the street, wearing her short shorts that were over her knees, along with her rainbow blouse, asking people to accept jobs. Nadine was walking with Lexi, whom the two had just met.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: I can’t believe you used to be with Lionell’s group!

<p class="MsoNormal">Lexi: Yea, pretty co-. Lexi is interrupted by the sound of Diamond’s voice.

<p class="MsoNormal">Diamond: Hey girls, are you guys interested in any community jobs?

<p class="MsoNormal">Lexi: Oh I’m good, already working! Nadine?

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: Actually I like to take a look at it!

<p class="MsoNormal">Diamond: Yea! Here’s the clipboard with all the jobs available. Nadine receives the clipboard from Diamond.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: Oh, already found one!

<p class="MsoNormal">Diamond: That’s great! What may that be, so I can write your name here!

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: I’ll give therapist a try! I love helping people out anyways!

<p class="MsoNormal">Diamond: Well that is awesome! We have a lot of people especially the little kids who have bad dreams and stuff!

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: Sweet! So when do I start?

<p class="MsoNormal">Diamond: Tomorow!

<p class="MsoNormal">
