Esmeralda opened the door and looked back, holding it open for him.

Squall placed a hand on the small of her back and hurried her in. He quickly braced the door once it shut. "Check and make sure we're alone." Squall said.

Esmeralda nodded and checked out the building, not finding anybody yet, she turned back to him, "I think it's clear."

Squall nodded. He pushed a desk in front of the door in case the zombies tried to get in. "Esmeralda, are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm okay." he assured her. He looked around. "What should we do? We're stuck here until that hoard is gone."

Esmeralda looked over at him, "I don't know, but I'm not going back."

"Yeah, I'm not exactly going to go out in that either." Squall said.

Esmeralda narrowed her eyes, "You know what I mean, Squall. I'm not leaving you or Lonnie here."

"Esmeralda, what if she's already left? You'll spend the rest of your life here looking for her?" Squall asked.

Esmeralda sighed and shook her head, "I don't know. But I can't-" her voice grew thick, "I can't- What if she's in trouble? Or-or... what if..." she trails off, as shakes her head not allowing herself to even consider the possibility Lonnie might not be living, but a tear fell noneheless.

"We can't focus on what ifs." Squall said. "It will eat you away until there's nothing left." He knew what could have happened to Lonnie. He hated that the two women had gotten separated.

Esmeralda nodded and looked down, pulling herself together, "But I can't leave here until I know, Squall."

"Sometimes, knowing the truth is worse than not knowing," Squall said. He couldn't imagine what she would do if she found that Lonnie had either died or had been turned.

Esmeralda shook her head, "You're wrong. Not knowing is worse, because your imagination will never let you rest until you find out. And my mind is a terrible place, Squall. I've seen her dead corpse walking towards me and I've seen her torn apart by the monsters outside countless times in my dreams and my waking hours. I have to know, if only to stop the images constantly running through my mind."
