They kept trying to break through the barricade. Rei's sitting with her back on the wall with her knees to her chest, Takashi and Sumiko sitting on the wall beside Rei. Takashi's staring at Hisashi's body and Sumiko lays her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed. Takashi gasps alerting Sumiko who barely opens her eyes staring at him. "What's the matter?" Rei asks in a low voice. "I was thinking what the hell is really going on." He replies. "That's a straightforward answer." Sumiko adds sitting upright stretching. "That's the point of lying about it?" Takashi asks, before scratching his hair. Rei smiles at him before standing up, "I think I should let my dad know I'm all right, let me use your cell." She says stretching her hand out for it.

"I understand that he's a police officer. We can't even connect to 110." Takashi tells her. "I know he told me not to call unless it's an emergency." She says dialling the number and putting the phone up to her ear. Sumiko walks over to the other end of the railing pulling out her phone and trying to call her parents. Unfortunately she goes straight voicemail causing her to sigh, "Please be ok." She whispers biting her thumbnail. She ignores the sound of Rei crying and runs a hand through a pigtail with another sigh. After Rei calms down the trio come up with a plan to leave. Takashi and Sumiko held onto the fire hose while Rei turned on the water. "Are you ready?" He asks both girls. "As ready as I'll ever be." Sumiko replies.

"Yeah!" Rei replies also. "Now turn it!" Takashi orders. He and Sumiko make sounds of surprise when the hose started going crazy cause of the water pressure. Water sprays in the air wetting them both. "Takashi. Sumiko." Rei runs out worried. "We're okay." Sumiko reassures her. "I didn't like most of you fuckers then and I sure as hell don't like you now." He says as he and Sumiko get control of the hose pointing it at the barricade washing it and the zombies away. Takashi lets out a victory laugh as Sumiko sighs at the feeling of being wet. She grabs her broomstick and Takashi's bat as they walk down the stairs. "The fire hose, not too shabby." Takashi comments. "I figured the water pressure would be strong enough." Rei says with a smile. 

As Rei goes on to talk about some memory back in middle school, Sumiko puts the weapons down removes her sweater revealing her completely soaked shirt which reveals her purple bra with black lace trims and butterfly and flower designs. Takashi swallows hard and Rei glares at her but she pays them no mind instead she wrings out as much water as she could out her sweater before putting it back on again and picking the weapons back up. The blue-eyed girl hands Takashi his bat, "Let's go." He says so they run attacking the zombies in the path. They eventually get the stairwell.

"Where do we run to?" Rei asks causing them to stop. "To my house." He replies turning back with a smile. "Go there and get supplies we need and meet up with other people who haven't turned yet. Work together and get someplace safe. Sounds like a plan to me." He says putting his bat on his shoulder. "Not before I find Saya." Sumiko states walking down the stairs giving Takashi a pat on the chest as she walks past him. "Right, but what if she's..." Rei trails off hinting something. "If she is then at least I'll get some closure." Sumiko replies turning to them. "Takashi, why don't we call your house to see if anyone's home." The pink-haired girl suggests. 

"Waste of time. Nobody's home. My dad won't be back in town until next week and my mom's a school teacher so she won't be home until after 5." He replies. "How about yours?" He asks. "I tried calling them earlier but they didn't pick up, probably still at work." Sumiko replies walking down the stairs as the two follow her. The trio gasp hearing someone scream.  "That sounds like..." Sumiko didn't finish her sentence instead she begins running in that direction with Takashi and Rei. As they got closer they saw two other people approaching heard the sound of a drill and when the turn the corner they saw Takagi drilling one of them and Hirano panicking as there were multiple them around. "Someone please!" Takagi yells leaning away from them.
