Cilia took anna on her shoulder, she jumps down from the window of their apartment, trying to move both herself and anna to a safe spot.
Although she wanted to stay alive and keep anna safe, a part of her also wanted to go back and fight with clerk, he was outmatched.
But clerk gave her a direct order, she couldn't go back, at least not without taking anna to a safe place first.
She thought about reporting to the police about what is going on, but then she realized that it wouldn't be a good idea, she is also a zombie, if the police should get hold of Jayson, he would surely rout them out to the police also.
So looking at the options she had, getting clerk out of that means seemed to be the best bet.
She pushed anna under an abandoned water truck not so far from the hotel, just as she had placed anna under the truck gently, she checked to make sure that anna couldn't be spotted as she led under the truck.
She started running as fast as she could, jumping on top of cars and billboards, until she finally arrived at the hotel, what she saw wasn't something one would call pleasant, but yet she couldn't help but to feel amazed by it, she hid at the corner of the broken window, watching the scene from there.
They kept running around the room, throwing their fists at each other, clerk moved back to get some space, Jayson standing tall surprised that clerk could still hold his ground, even when he hasn't fully mastered his zombie side yet.
Jayson grabbed the standing lamp beside him tightly, angered at the thought of losing to a kid. "You are impressive, who knew you had it in you," he said with a big smile on his face.
"You are still a first-hand zombie, and for some reason, you are still standing toe to toe with me, every impressive," he said clapping his hands manically.
"I don't understand a word that is coming out of your mouth, can we just finish this, am getting bored standing here" clerk said.
"I see, then I guess I shouldn't hold back anymore," Jayson said.
"Fine by me" clerk said as he leaps forward with his leg, landing a direct blow at Jayson's face, falling to the ground clerk grabbed Jayson by the shirt punching him continuously.
Just as clerk kept punching, he noticed Jayson's face was getting ticker, Jayson turned his face to clerk, with a big smile on his face.
"Haven't you figured it out yet, you can't defeat me" Jayson stood up holding on to clerk's hand as he throws him across the room.
Jayson stood up gently, dusting his body, he walked slowly towards clerk who was still on the ground trying to get up.
"Hmmm, I guess I overestimated you, you are just a weakling," Jayson said with his voice getting louder with each word, trying to intimidate clerk who is struggling to get up.
Clerk still struggling to get up, Jayson kicked him in the stomach which sent him flying to the next room. She couldn't hold in her patience anymore, she came out from her hiding spot.
She propelled her body forward, bringing out her claws as she tries to land a hit, sensing the danger coming, Jayson took a step back grabbing cilia's hand and pinning her to the ground putting his foot on her face.
She twisted her leg on his hand holding him as tight as she could, trying to punch her while she still got hold of his hand, she kept moving her head left and right evading the punches that Jayson was delivering.
He carried her up with the hand she held on to and tried to slam her to the ground, just as he started lifting her from the ground she turned her body anti-clockwise, twisting Jayson's hand and moving away from him to stand right in front of clerk.
"Are you okay, clerk?" she asked clerk, while still carrying a stern look on her face forced at her opponent.
"Yh am fine" clerk answered getting up from the ground with his bones making cracks with every movement he made.
"Where did you learn to fight like that, and what are you doing here?" clerk asked, feeling happy and surprised from what he saw.
"You b***h, am going to make you regret what you just did," Jayson said feeling angered, he straightened his broken arm and was ready to attack.
His skin grew thicker, his dark hair grew longer and his eyes became pitch dark, he started moving towards them, every step he took made the ground tremble.
Clerk and cilia didn't stand a chance at this point and this they were very sure of, clerk held cilia's hand ready to make a run for it, it was obvious that Jayson wasn't just going to let them run away.
Running away is one thing but outrunning a huge man-like Jayson is another subject entirely.
Fast or not, he wasn't sure if he could outrun Jayson in a race, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place and he grew more anxious as Jayson grew closer to him. But his anxiousness was soon turned into relief as the sound of sirens could be heard race across the street.
"Tch! The police, them interfering now will only prove to be burdensome" he said as he steered at the broken wall where he could the color sirens.
"Seems we'll have to finish this another time, we have been interrupted, take this chance and think about the offer I gave you cause next time, I won't be so friendly".
He left through the window, jumping from building to building until he was so far away that he couldn't be seen anymore.
Clerk and cilia fell to their knees in relief as they took a deep sigh,
"Oh, that was so scary," the clerk said placing his hands on the ground and facing the ground.
"Yh, talk about intense, I thought he was going to kill us," cilia said sitting upright looking at the ceiling.
The long silence in the room was soon followed by a burst of loud laughter, terrifying as it was, it was still exciting, the laughter lighten the room for them, a means of comfort.
"We have to get out of here before the cop shows up" clerk said standing up and helping cilia up.
Clerk took the receptionist's dead body along with him as he made his escape, he felt obligated to do so, thinking she was dragged into this mess because of him and the least he could do is give her a nice burial.
They ran as fast as they could also making sure that they didn't get caught, they managed to sneak past a couple of police officers and made their way to the truck where cilia his anna.
Once they got hold of anna, clerk was able to fix the truck so they could all ride inside, being a thief, there has been a couple of times where he needed to steal a car to escape getting caught.
When he finished fixing up the car, they all got in and drove towards an abandoned wasteland while still trying to evade the police, they were lucky not to get caught, that was until they ran into some police officers who were scouting the road that led to the wasteland.
One of the police officers confronted clerk, using his torchlight to knock on the window of the truck. The situation became dire, they had a dead body and an unconscious girl with them in the car and had to body to call if they were ever in a bind at the moment.
"Yes officer, is there a problem" clerk said pocking his head out of the window, he played it cool that his entire body became stiff.
"What you got in the truck?" the policeman asked pointing his torchlight into the truck trying to see who he had in there with him.
The other policeman opened the door opposite to clerk's and wanted to enter to check who was with him in the truck
"Wait!" clerk yelled trying to stop the policeman from coming in, the noise he made was so loud that it made anna wake up from her slumber.
She opened her eyes and sat upright, trying to make herself feel more comfortable she placed her hand on the chair only to feel a warm liquid sock her hands.
Feeling curious about what it was she checked and saw that it was blood, she check again and saw a dead person looking right at her, she screamed as loud as she could, terrified of what she just saw.
The scream most definitely picked the cop's interest, "Sir am going to need you to step out of the car" the cop said in a very serious tone, pointing his torchlight directly at clerk's face.
