What the war brought : Chapter 4

Drake was in a desperate search for Emma when he came accross Aron’s body. Laying mostionlest clawing at a lock door. He died trying to get in. Drake sat down and sobbed quietly. He began to cough lightly at first then harder. It subsided and he put a fruit covering from a nearby fruit stand over his dead friend and continued his search for Emma.
“Hey kid.” said someone off to Drake’s right.
Drake spun around startled. He found a man about mid 20’s pushing open a door to a store.
“Yea?” Drake asked.
“You got any clue what the hell happened?” asked the man,
“No, I just saw the missile then hid with a friend.” replied Drake.
“Where is this friend?” asked the man.
“She ran off, i’m looking for her now.” said Drake.
“I’m looking for my family, mind if I join you we’ll help each other.” asked the man.
“Sure.” replied Drake.
They walked for about an hour until they saw something. A woman holding a baby walking about an intersection. She was singing.
“laladedumdiddydum I will pull off your thumb.”
