Johnny head still ached as he and Veronica entered the abandoned airport.
Johnny quickly motioned for row of yellow chairs and crashed. Veronica took a seat beside him and tapped on her lap. Johnny shrugged and placed his head over Veronica's lap.
"Why is it that the only solace we find in this place is when were both scavenging." Johnny said.
"That's what you said awhile ago." Veronica chuckled.
"I know, it just bares repeating."
"Hey Johnny,"
"Yeah?"
"What do you think about this place?"
"We just got here, Roth. I don't know what to think."
"No, I'm thinking we can crash the night here. This place does have everything we could need..."
"You got a point."
"Its got everything but a shower."
Johnny lifted his head and sniffer Veronica's shirt before laying his head back down. "You smell great, Roth."
"Sure, I do."
"You do."
"I haven't had a shower since I we were in the hotel."
Johnny rose to his feet.
"Come on, lets find you your shower."
"Here?"
Veronica realized that they could have used the bathroom from one of the abandoned houses the passed by.
"Yeah."
"What's there to lose?" Veronica shrugged and got up.

Tobias had found the airport with little difficulty, there was an odd peace he found at airports. There was no one on the flight line and none of the service trucks were operating. He quickly started to check a few of the planes and found a helicopter that was still in good shape. He smiled and headed inside the terminal. He paused at one of the few stands and glanced around; no body around. He hopped over the counter and helped himself to a cup of coffee. He did a double take at the wall, stepped over and pried off the fire escape plan and took a seat. He finished that cup and grabbed another and started walking around. There was a service desk along the hall on the right. He started down and thought he might have heard somebody talking. He kept walking, sipping on the coffee, he switched hands and looked at the plan again. "A shower? Your in luck, there is one on the other side of the airport. But its in a secured area for the airport's workers, might need to break in.."

Veronica and Johnny approached the restricted area for the workers.
Johnny could have sworn that he heard footsteps somewhere.
Veronica turned the doorknob.
"Damn," Veronica mumbled. "Its locked."
Johnny slammed his shoulder against the door, but the damn thing would budge. Johnny took several steps back before charging forward and kicking the door in. The door fell back as Veronica slowly stepped inside.
Veronica looked back at Johnny and said, "I've got a hair clip, I could have just used that and picked the door open."
Johnny chuckled and turned his head. "Take that shower, Roth."

Tobias walked along the halls, he finished his coffee and tossed the cup in a trash can as he passed by it. He heard the door get knocked open and more talking. He walked up to the door and checked it. he pushed the door open and looked around. the voices were slightly stronger inside. He started to walk around and found a couple talking, he slowly approached them. "Y'know thats a chem shower right?"

"Yeah, chem shower. Its for the workers. They have to work with fuels and solvents and various other liquids that are corrosive and can cause unhappiness with the body. Its typically used as a first aide kinda circumstance." He told her, smiled and looked to the man. "Y'all never been in an airport before have you? I mean this inner parts of the inside."

Johnny leaned against the wall and said, "Pretty much my first time. I hate to flying."
Veronica looked at the man and asked, "You think its clean?"

He smiled to the man and nodded. "Perhaps a blessing and a sin. Flying is pretty good actually, given the right pilot and aircraft." He walked around to a line of lockers and vanished from sight. After a few moments he came back and looked to the woman. "there is a clean shower around that row of lockers and to the left. Most of those lockers have clean looking towels if you need one."

"That's good enough for me!" Veronica said as she headed towards the lockers.
Johnny took out a pack of Marlboro's and placed a stick between his lips, lit it, and drew hard. Johnny exhaled a moment later and offered the man a smoke. "I take it you're new in town?"

He nodded to the girl as she left. He shook his head to the man's offered smoke. He leaned back against one of the lockers. "Got it in one. I don't know anything about this place other then I woke up in a hotel room, found my way around to this place and ran into you two. Whoever stocked the stores here don't know anything about good coffee. What about you?"

Johnny pulled the cigarette away from his lips and replied, "Veronica, that pretty thing that just left us, and I have been here for weeks. I haven't tried the coffee, but the food isn't that bad... Considering the place and all. Let me guess, you woke up in Room 4?"

"weeks and dont know much about this place? sounds a bit off to me..." he trailed off as he thought for a moment. "again, got it in one. Guessing from that, so has everyone else you have talked with. Food might be good, haven't eaten in a while..." He pushed himself off the wall and slowly started to go through each of the lockers. He found some keys in each, towels, boots and spare changes of cloths along with shampoo and soap and toothbrushes. He found a lunch box in one, opened it and stared at the empty container, shook his head and tossed it behind him. "Sorry, Im Tobias, you are?"

"The only thing I can honestly tell you is that there's a lot of things here that you've probably never seen where you came from. That said, whatever's here, down beneath our feet, called us here and something is waiting for us."
Johnny released himself from Tobia's hand and asked, "Care to hand me one of those towels?"
