Denise and Jonah continued to lead Riley along the path towards the church and keeping the look out for the occasional Husk that passed by. It would be up to Jonah or Denise to dispatch the infected that they encountered. Riley still being a nervous about the whole concept of crushing or destroying the creature's skulls to kill it.

"Almost there." Denise muttered as the group turned a small corner after looking on the other side for any more Husks within the vicinity. Seeing as there was none in plain sight the group moved forward.

This sense of security and upcoming safety allowed for the group to take a moment of reprieve and lower their weapons. This is when Denise was blindsided by a Husk that was just standing around in one of the nearby buildings and had awoken from its daze once she spoke. The creature grabbed the woman causing her to drop her weapon in shock and forcing her to the ground.

Denise gasped in fear as the creature began snapping at her. Her arms holding the creature back, but still not enough to get it off. Jonah rushed to help his girlfriend out when one of the believed to be dead corpses sprung to life and grabbed Jonah leg causing him to trip and hit the sidewalk with a thud.

Riley pulled out his weapon, intent on helping Jonah out before Denise gasped in fear as the Husk nearly took a chunk out of her. Riley grabbed the creature by its shoulder and tossed it to the side. The creature snapped at him as Riley raised his weapon and delivered the blade into the creature's face causing it to go limp and be silenced.

Jonah meanwhile was busy caving in the school of the other Husk with the bluntside of his shovel. To the point where the creature's head became an exploded pile of mush and brain matter.

"Thank you." Denise said voice filled with gratitude. as she began lifting herself up and grabbed her weapons and pack. Riley merely nodded as he looked at the limp creature below him and pulled out the machete.

The group continued their journey in silence before they saw their objective said before them. The church was standing before them.
