[i]God damnit.[/i] Lian thought. She had seen both of them, the first crashing in through the door and the other through (what used to be) the window. This was the sound she had heard, the girl knocking over something on the shelves, mostly empty containers or garbage. Anything that was left to salvage in this place was long gone. Lian carefully stepped out with her crowbar high in hand. [i]"Both of you shut up. Move toward the back of the store, quiet and quick. Do it now, and make no sound. Say nothing until you are here."[/i] she said in as low a voice as she could manage for them both to hear without the infected catching drift. The announcement had just ended and the beasts were crawling back into whatever spot they lurked at before. One thing was certain, the streets wouldn't be safe for at least an hour. Well, not that it could ever be safe, but it's all a matter of perspective.
Now, if the two would do as she said and quietly moved to the back of the store, they would quickly spot Lian standing next to the half-opened door to the back storage. With simple eye-contact and a wave of a hand, Lian directed them both inside. It was much safer in there and they could speak without anyone hearing there. She had been careful not to leave any of her supplies in the open however.
If they wouldn't come to her, she would simply wait. One hand on the door, another on the crowbar. If infected came bursting through the door, Lian would be safe. The other two would distract or keep the infected away while she... No... She could never leave people to their death. Knowing her, she'd probably do anything in her power to try to get them into safety. She didn't think about that it might cost them all their lives if such a thing were to happen. Shaking the pesimism off, Lian considered the third option.
If one of them came to her, but the other did not, she would wave the one who did inside and risk a small whisper to the other one, saying [i]"I'm closing the door. Last chance."[/i]

Either way, she wouldn't wait long. They had to do as she said [b]now[/b] or be locked out. With infected around, Lian had to wait for a while more before leaving. Damn...
