Looking at the setting sun Gianni’s smiled, but Nikos wasn't so happy. There were dirtied up some, fingers were dyed pink and blue, their clothes were filled with dirt and grime and their sweat made their clothes stick on them.
Nikos spoke up
Gianni’s replied
Nikos was while speaking becoming more depressed the more he talked.
Gianni’s said showing what they did today.
Gianni’s said with determined look while he was staring Nikos down
Looking away Nikos answered weakly
Gianni’s rose with a difficulty his tiredness and injuries are making his movement difficult, while getting home he thought about what they did today.
It was late noon when they went at the apartment building that looked at the park, it was the only residential apartment building near the park, all the others building there were apartments for shops and services like lawyers and private doctors. Reaching the floor were Gianni’s apartment was opening his door, Gianni’s enters Nikos didn’t follow him inside, waiting for him in the doorway Nikos looks inside there was a 18 year old woman, that when he saw Gianni’s entering raised herself from the couch and started walking to Gianni’s she was furious and said
said Gianni’s raising his voice.
The girl turned and looked at the couch, Nikos notice that on the couch was another girl she was younger than the girl that was talking with Gianni’s, turning to talk to Gianni’s she started whispering she grabbed him and started crying.
A voice picked up from the couch said the little girl.
Margaret cleaned her eyes and started smiling turning to face the girl she said Gianni’s with a disappointed expression looked at Margaret and started speaking Margaret was shocked but Anna had an expression filled with terror she couldn’t continuing talking because he started crying, Margaret had a murderous look Gianni’s had a fed up expression Margaret was angry . Their argument continued with Anna crying on the couch, Nikos knew that he didn’t belong in the argument and he felt awkward, so he left the apartment and sit on the lip of the entrance to the apartment building.

After some time Gianni’s come outside of the apartment building wearing a back pack he smiled at Nikos and said
Nikos asked picking himself from the ground.
still smiling, but he could see sadness in his eyes, waiting for Nikos to sit up he Continued
Seeing nothing wrong with the plan Nikos said nothing. Reaching the hardware shop there faced with a new challenge the store was locked with metallic shutters, there were locked with a big locket trying to break the locket by hammering it with the backside of the axe, leaving only some smalls dents they realize they were going nowhere looking for another shop near the park, they are met with the same problem.
Nikos said stressed out was it hopeless was it stupid. But Gianni’s didn’t think the same thinking about it Nikos realized how easily he was stressed taking a breath he spoke up Gianni’s said Nikos stopped him Gianni’s stopped to think about it Gianni’s waited for Nikos answer Gianni’s smiling for winning Nikos over said pointing the street
Starting to return back to his home Nikos used the roads that took to reach the park but he find new problems, there were more bugs probably double than he saw when he come to the park, but the more annoying thing was that Gianni’s stopped to right for survivors to come at the park, however Nikos understudied why it was needed to do that, Gianni’s was right at doing that but he was still worried by staying in the same place for too much time. Nevertheless they reach Nikos home, but Nikos saw something weird the outside door was open, gripping his axe Nikos slowed down to quitter his step, signaling Gianni’s to don’t follow he passed the doors frame and froze an unknown males body was been eaten by a bug, sneaking on the porch Nikos grebes his cut axe with his two hands jumping on the bugs back and smashes its head, probably his luck running out he didn’t kill it and the bug starting shaking trying to throw Nikos down, panicking Nikos started smacking the axe on the bugs head it was a race who could last longer, was it Nikos grip or the bugs head and something gave first, it was the bugs head making the bug lose strength to his legs and stopping it suddenly throwing Nikos down. Hearing the footsteps Nikos turned his head from the tiled floor that he was laying down to see Gianni’s running to him Nikos thought a minute and said looking at the bug Gianni’s said getting the hand that was presenting by Gianni’s Nikos was raised up Gianni’s looked skeptical at Nikos and pointed to the body taking a look Nikos shrugs getting a closer look Gianni’s said looking at it and being disgusted Nikos answered I don’t know and I don’t want to look at it anymore> Gianni’s looked at it and took the back pack and saying probably to the body.

Getting the steel cuter they returned back from a different way to write more messages about the park. Opening the hardware shop, Nikos looked for a one handed axe and finding a rack there where different types but they were mostly the same taking two axes getting back to Gianni’s and giving one to Gianni’s, Nikos .
Nikos finished speaking he was looking defeated what would happen now he was starting to streets out his heart started beating faster, when he had to deal with a wall and couldn’t jump it in the first time, he would give up and just sit in front of it soaking in depression. Most of the times someone just puss him enough to try again and succeed, this time was different he didn’t have anyone to push him.
said Gianni’s waking Nikos from his depression but he didn’t stop there hitting the back of Nikos he started running around watching that Nikos smiled made he was overthinking it so he started running too.
Meeting again they had found around the park only ten, looking at it they understand that had to get out of the park to get the rest, before they left Nikos had an idea getting a metal saw and some rope he headed to a supermarket near the park, stealing a supermarket cart he started cutting its sides getting the rope he tied it in his hand he created a shield.
said Gianni’s that was looking at me silently when I was making them
Starting gathering bins as quieter as the could, but they were too slow even one bin could take them 30 minutes to get one back, getting the 11th bin there are faced with the first bug they have been so lucky and they could deal with most bugs by changing streets, but this bug just jumped out of the corner surprising us, Gianni’s was in front and was the first to react putting his shield in front of him taking the hit with the shield he twists the shield he catches the bug and the starts to hit the bug until It was dead.
Gianni’s said trying to dislodge the pincers from the shield.
said Nikos pushing the bin
Returning back to the park they started covering the streets, tying them with iron wires so to not move they manage to close most roads except of one, while doing it Gianni’s raised the question Nikos was down on the ground tying the wills together he had questioned that but he didn’t care, it was safe and was all that it matter without answering Gianni’s continued Nikos finishing the job said . Continuing the work until the sun started setting.
