here]Lockdown kicked the door to the hardware store down and barged in. There was already a zombie in here, a big one, who the bounty hunter guessed was the owner of the store. There were also two other zombies with him, so Lockdown was already outnumbered. But that had never stopped the bounty hunter

Meanwhile, his friend was already headed toward the exit. Claude didn't want to get separated, but he took one last moment to at least grab a hardhat with a light configured on the front, as well as a utility belt. The belt he slung over his shoulder until he could probably fasten it around his waist. Eyebrows furrowed, he glanced down at the light on the hat, moving his thumb over the switch to turn it on.
Just as the beam came to life, and Claude was about to move on his way, something hard and heavy collided with the back of his shoulder. Claude yelped both in pain and surprise, and he was stunned to find a hammer dropping to the floor. Something had thrown that at him! Or someone. Eyes narrowing, Claude quickly glanced around, but he knew he didn't have time to figure out what had happened. If that hammer had been aimed a little higher, it could have hit his head, knocking him out in the process.
They needed to get out of here.
Gritting his teeth, Claude quickened his pace and followed after Guy. He just had to ignore the throbbing pain where the hammer had struck him.

A shovel really wasn't the best weapon, but he got the feeling that blunt force would work well against the monsters. There were some gardening shears, but those couldn't be used effectively as a weapon. Besides, people were rushing in and grabbing things off the shelves like mad; he was lucky enough to have the shovel.
Guy nodded when Claude clicked the light on - the hat looked kind of silly, but that hardly mattered when it would both protect Claude's head and make sure they could see more than a few feet in front of them. Just as Guy was going to start moving again, he heard Claude yell out and turned right back around to face him again. He was more than ready to jump in and jab the shovel at anything that was attacking Claude, but it looked like something had just been tossed at him.
"These things are smart enough to throw things?" he exclaimed, in a state of disbelief. That meant they shouldn't be underestimated.
Almost right after that he heard a horribly loud noise that he didn't recognize, though it sounded like some kind of machinery or motor. More importantly, it didn't sound safe, and without thinking Guy snatched Claude by the wrist. "We need to get out of here!" He started for the door, not willing to pause for anything else.

That sudden roar of a motor caught his attention, and Claude wildly looked around, trying to identify the source. It sounded like a chainsaw or something -- not exactly the most comforting realization in the world. Man, he sure hoped whoever had it was on their side!
Claude was yanked out of his thoughts once Guy grabbed his wrist, though, and he was forced to follow him out of the store. As they ran through the exit, he cast one last glance backward, and for a split second he thought he caught a glimpse of a familiar shock of green hair. The moment passed, however, and soon they were outside.
