Dying Rays

Chapter thirty one: The Plants

Taylor pushed Evin inside before pulling the door's shut and locked them stepping back as the horde got to it and stepped back bringing the shotgun up dropping the seldge hammer, Evin pushed off the ground and truned over looking down to his leg that had the screw driver still there ''Hey.'' Taylor looked to him before looking to the door, she moved back and turned reaching down to help him up, they were in a house, two stories and seemed pretty big, she let him lean against the wall and looked to the front of the house seeing the large window in the living room, she went over and shut the curtians fast before walking to the kitchen looking through everything shutting the curtains in there as well. Evin limped to the door of the kitchen hissing at every step with his right leg, he leaned on the archway watching her look in the cupboards and drawers. Evin focused on his smell and turned looking around seeing a basement door, he limped over and leaned on the wall moving closer to the door and smelled more and smiled opening the door, he leaned on the frame of the door and breathed in smiling more ''Taylor, could you help me get downstairs.'' Taylor went over and looked over to him breathing in smelling it as well and went over ''I'll check it first.'' she stated and moved him aside and went down the stairs into the dark basement, she brought her flashlight up and shinned it around her eye's widening.

''Holy shit.'' she muttered, Evin looked down to her and tried the light switch, Taylor looked around seeing a small generator and went over, she pulled the cord three times before it started working, the light's flickered on and Taylor turned her light off looking around with a wide smile ''Taylor?'' she looked to the step's before going over and looked up to him before going up smiling ''There's a bunch of marijuana plants.'' Evin smiled ''You fucking with me?'' Taylor shook her head, Evin grabbed her shoulder and used it as support while he got down hopping. Taylor made sure he didn't fall. When they reached the bottom Evin looked around and sighed with a smile ''Finally.'' he stated and contuiued down the last two step's limping over looking at the plants. He looked around before seeing a glass bowl with a bunch of joints inside. He moved over to it leaning on the table and reached in the bowl picking one up and smelt it smiling before turning leaning on the table and checked his pockets and shut his eye's ''Here.'' he looked to Taylor and saw her holding a lighter, she then reached behind him taking one of the joints as well before placing it in her mouth and lit it before handing it to him, he took it from her as she moved over and sat on the couch that was there ''Paramedic who smokes weed?'' Evin asked before placing the joint in his mouth.

Taylor smiled moving the joint away from her mouth pushing the smoke out ''It's good.'' she stated, Evin pushed off the table and moved to the couch sitting down handing her the lighter back and slouched back into the couch looking around ''Why would they leave this behind?'' he stated looking around at all of it, seeing bongs on a shelf in the back ''Apocalypse called.'' Evin looked around still ''Yeah but, could've taken the joints, maybe a bong.'' he stated and looked to her, Taylor shrugged breathing in the joint ''Are you gonna take some?'' Taylor asked pushing the smoke out, Evin nodded breathing it in before licking his lip's ''Yes, I'm not leaving this behind.'' he stated and looked at the bowl before getting up again limping over to it and placed his bag on the table ''Leave some for me.'' Taylor stated getting up as well, Evin smiled holding the joint between his lip's as he grabbed some, he looked around before finding a plastic bag and opened it before handing one to Taylor.

They started putting some in the bags before putting them into their backpacks, Evin though about it for a bit before taking his sketch book out ripping a piece of paper out and moved his stuff aside picking up a pencil, Taylor looked at him confused ''What are you doing?'' Evin shrugged as he wrote, he finished the note and placed it in the bowl ''In case they come back.'' he stated and picked up his bag putting it on his back, Taylor looked at the note 'Thanks for the stash, sorry for taking it all, life's tough out there.' she smiled and picked up her bag and her shotgun before looking over to see Evin trying to get up the step's. She went over to help him up.
