Chapter 35: Unnatural progress at Westbrook.
Very extravagantly and very loudly, Nimo yelled, "What the hell?"
"So, I have a space, and I can keep supplies inside." Pointing at her friend and cautioning her sternly, Sunshine added, "This stays between us. We have always trusted each other with our lives, and it was the same way in the apocalypse. That is why I am sharing my greatest secret with you."
"Are you kidding, I would never tell anyone about our space. An apocalypse is all about survival...food, drinking water and survival." She placed her hands on Sunshine’s shoulders, massaging them gently. "You, my friend are the goose that lays golden eggs and I will guard you jealously. With you by my side, I will not have to drink pee when the world falls apart."
Sunshine almost grimaced.....almost. But such a thing was not unheard of in the apocalypse. They had even found various ways to turn urine into water.
"Turn around." Nimo told her.
Just as Sunshine slowly turned on her feet, she saw a fist aiming for her face. It came fast--a blur of knuckles that she caught with one hand quickly.
Nimo smirked, "You were not lying when you said that you learned how to fight in the apocalypse. Show me your skills."
Sunshine grinned and took a few steps back from her friend. "Nimo, as painful as this might sound to you, I am beyond you now. Are you sure that you want to test me?"
They circled each other, surrounded by the silence of the empty warehouse.
