"Trying to go to the restroom." She stood balancing on one foot.

"There's a restroom in here?" He looked toward the door on the back wall.

She nodded and he stood up. "I can take you."

She raised an eyebrow. "Just to set you down in there and then you can call me back when you're done."

"Actually." She pointed to the other doorway, "there used to be a rolling chair in there. Could you check for it?"

He nodded glad his ache had subsided. He jumped up and walked to the opening. "There's surveillance tvs in here-" he trailed off.

"Yeah, remember when I said my friends had kind of updated it." She responded. "Are they on?" She asked unsure.

"Yeah they are, although half of them show only rubble or aren't working." He called back.

Maybe five minutes passed and he hadn't come out.

"Jun- I really need to go."

"Right, right, sorry." He wheeled the chair out to her looking a bit pale.

"You okay?" she looked at him with concern.

"Yeah." There was no way he could tell her what was on some of the tvs. Then he grinned at her, "You called me Jun."

"Is that okay?" She asked sitting in the chair as he held it in place. 

"Yes. I like it." He caught the scent of her perfume and melted a bit inside. 

She started to scoot across the floor using her good foot.

"I can push you." Yu-Jun offered.

"I'm good." She smiled.

His heart flopped. Stupid heart. Does she even know how adorable she is? "Do you think there's anything to eat in here?"

"Check the boxes." She called from behind the closed door.

A few mintues later Evie pushed herself back into the main room backing over to the sofa. She turned to see Yu-Jun sitting at the table going through a few boxes. He pulled MREs from one box and snacks like chips and cookies from another.

"Looks like you found one of the stashes my friends used to keep." She said motioning to the snack box. "There's probably also cards and board games in one of the boxes too." She said, backing herself over to the shelf. "How long did we even sleep?"

He looked at his watch, "Oh, wow. About 4 hours. I also saw a box with blankets and pillows. They'll be good to prop up your leg."

"Okay. Maybe we should check the cameras again. See if we can tell what's going on or if there might be help out there. There should be one or two that show the outside of the courthouse." She said, pulling a box from the shelf.

"Should I check or do you need help?" He said as he stood. He really didn't want her looking at those tvs. He didn't even want to look again. It made him nauseous but better than both of them having those images in their heads.

"I got this." She said placing the box on her lap.

As he came back from the other room she was pulling board games from the box, "Maybe we could play one?" She said looking up at him as he came up beside her. "Might help to distract us."

He nodded, giving her a half smile. "Good idea. I didn't see anything helpful out there."

"We'll check again later or something I guess." She said opening a box to set up the game. Yu-Jun smiled to himself as he watched her face while she set up the pieces mumbling to herself.

"Do you know how to play?'' she asked, looking up at him.

He looked down at the board. It looked like a 2-D maze on a tiled board with more than one way to the finish. There were 5 different shaped pieces to one side of the board near the point marked start. There was a bird, a fox, a frog, a dragon, and a unicorn. Four small piles of cards sat next to the side of the board; one green, one blue, one yellow and one red. There were two dice. One of the dice was cylindrical with 4 sides and pointed at both ends, each side a color of one of the decks. The other is a regular cube with dots for numbers. "I assume we have to move our piece from start to finish," he pointed at the marked points on the board, "before the other person. We roll the dice and pick up a card indicated, then move the amount of dots on the second die."

"Kinda. So you see the board is a maze right, well the cards have directions on them sometimes you move toward one of these markers," She pointed out bright orange tiles each with a N, E, W, or S on them, "other times they have random directions like a log fell in your way find another route, or a hole opened and you fell in move to a random spot. There's also 'if and or cards' like if you're closer to this move here or if you're closer to this move there." He noticed then that the tiles were grid marked; English letters lined the top and numbers down the side. "But you can also look at your card and before you move you can try to convince other players to take your move if you want, the trick is convincing them to take the move you don't want, in this case me." Evie grinned deviously. "Careful though you might screw yourself because there's also cards like if you traded your last card or if you took someone else's card last turn then do this and if you're this piece you do can do this. Some even give you an option to save the card to use at a later point in the game, it will say if you can or not."

"Sounds fun, let's play, but don't screw me too hard." He laughed.

"You might like it rough though." She said and immediately remembered she was not with her friends and turned right red heat filling her face and ears. "I'm so sorry."

Yu-Jun laughed harder. "You don't need to be sorry." She was something else.

Evie relaxed a bit and smiled sheepishly.

Yu-Jun's heart hammered in his chest, the walls he'd been building all his life were now being pulled apart brick by brick and he didn't even care. We could die tomorrow, hell we could die today and I will be glad knowing I met her.

He rubbed his palms on his jeans and reached for the playable pieces.

She grinned and snatched the fox.

Yu-Jun cocked an eyebrow. "Alright then Little Fox." He said and they both laughed. "I'll take this one." He said, placing the dragon on the start marker.
