Limitless Human

Chapter 3 - The Lunch Lady

Ethan: Right and the largest supply of food in the school is?

Mike: The cafeteria!

Ethan: Yes.

Mike: Ethan?

Ethan: What?

Mike: How can you manage to stay so calm under this kind of situation?

Ethan: I don't.... I just think that instead of doing nothing while loathing around won't be of any help. Do we know if this is reality or a dream? A punishment by the God? We have no information about anything. So the only thing we can currently do is fight and survive!

Mike: Wow. That is good.

Ethan: Isn't it. Hehehe watching movies helps in this situations hehehe. Now let's go. We need to hurry to the cafeteria before anyone gets there.

Mike: Yes.

Increasing the speed of their walk both of them rushed at the cafeteria.

-----------------------------

As both of them got close to the bar, the lunch lady working there with her white uniform saw them from afar with theirs wooden 'spears'.

???(Lunch Lady): Both of you! Stop right there!

Mike stopped in his place, just as he was about to open his mouth and tried to calm the lunch lady down, he saw from the corner of his eye that Ethan continue walking towards the bar. Ethan action scared the lunch lady inside, as she unconsciously stepped back bumping into the wall behind her.

Looking around in fright she found a kitchen knife beside her hand.

???(Lunch Lady): Stop right there! Or else....

Ethan: Or else what? Are you going to stab me with that knife? Kill me? Gut my insides out? Then do the same to my friend there to cover for your crimes?

At the same time Ethan was speaking he got closer and closer to the bar and coincidently the Lunch Lady, which got scared by the second as her heart beat increased. She had her large experience of apocalypses movies, series and books. In all of the more realistic ones humans lost all of morals and fell to their d.e.s.i.r.es. From stealing, raping, killing, slaving and so many more examples.

???(Lunch Lady): Please don't do anything to me. You have a mother right? I also have a daughter so please spare me.

Even with the pleading of the Lunch Lady, Ethan didn't stop on his walk. Seeing this Mike was about to rush at him to stop him from doing anything bad.

Ethan: What is making you think that I am going to do anything to you? I just want to fill my bag with food and water. In fact considering our current situation I should ask you what do you want to do? You are the one that has a knife in her hand while I have just a wooden stick.

Mike was slight stunned but it was soon replaced by relief that his best friends hadn't change to the worst with the current events.

Reaching the balcony, Ethan jumped over it to the other side beside the Lunch Lady that immediately backed away.

Ethan: Mike stop daydreaming and get over here and fill your bag with food and water.

Mike: Okay.

Ethan: Focus on canned food and water bottles. They last for a longer time and are more resistance.

While their were filling their bags up, the Lunch Lady approached Ethan from behind as curiosity won over her.

Whoosh

The Lunch Lady couldn't continue any longer as she felt something on her neck, lowering her gaze she found a sharp wooden tip touching her white skin. Tracing it down she saw that it was Ethan that was holding onto his wooden stick.

???(Lunch Lady): Didn't you say that.....

Ethan: If you want to get any closer give me your knife.

Only now did Mike and the Lunch Lady realized that she was still holding onto the Kitchen Knife. The Lunch Lady didn't know what to do. She wanted to let go of the knife, but her grip barely loosened on the knife. At the same time Ethan continued on holding onto his wooden stick pointing at the Lunch Lady neck.

Ethan: Mike don't stop filling the bags. We are running out of time.

Mike: Okay.

Ethan: As for you miss, I want to ask of you for three knifes that you may have here. The size doesn't concern much, but I would prefer big ones.

The Lunch Lady hearing him nodded her head lightly walking off inside of the bar while still holding onto the Kitchen Knife.

After a while when Ethan and Mike had finished filling their bags up and jumped over the balcony of the bar to the other side, the Lunch Lady came out of the inside of the bar with four knifes.

???(Lunch Lady): Here you have it. Now can you please leave.

Ethan: Yes. Thank you very much. Mike take one of them. The other two are mine.

Mike: Okay.

As they were leaving the bar behind, the Lunch Lady couldn't move her gaze from their backs, especially on Ethan one. While doing so a bad feeling rose through her body, as her gut was telling her to got with them.

???(Lunch Lady): "He said that he was running out of time..... what did he mean by that? WAIT! In this apocalyptic situations the most important resources are food and water! And this is the place where most of the food and water are currently. I don't want to get in this kind of shitty situation I need to go."

Finishing her thoughts, the Lunch Lady grabbed onto a plastic bag filling it with food and water, before walking of the bar. She need to food for her survival and her daughter.
