A mix of good and bad news

A/N: Just wanted to mention that the next two to three chapters will be short but that after that, we are getting back to the MC and his Team 1/Lion as far as POV scenes are concerned. In the meantime, hope you like the twists to come.

Sergeant Foreman's POV

Once several of the building residents arrived, you and Private Karlsson stayed alert as you escorted the group carrying the meat of the six hunted deer inside. No more zombies bothered you though, so you were soon inside the lobby of the building.

Once there, the ones you understand are the best cooks in the building, Melissa Carter, Parvati Patel, Jade Jones started working on cutting all that food into more manageable parts; knives in hand as they begun. You watched as Melissa and Parvati's daughters started supporting their mothers with the cleanup of the big tables in the lobby, they set up for their impromptu butcher workshop. Jade, on the other hand, was supported by her husband Allen since they didn't have kids; the construction worker helping her hold the carcasses still.

"Hmm," You heard the Swedish new recruit hum, her tone somewhat contemplative. "Reminds me of this one time my uncle and I brought home a fallow buck after a hunt. We certainly had much to eat that night. His horns were bigger than the ones we caught today, though."

You filed away the information that the former reservist also had experience hunting for food in the wild. That was certainly good to know. But before you could open your mouth to reply, Walter came down the stairs, panting as he breathed heavily. You braced yourself for bad news as the old man in charge of the building maintenance took a moment to catch his breath with a concern look in his face.

You weren't expecting his answer, however.

"Natasha has left the building," He said, sounding as surprised as you now felt. "And she left a note for you, Sergeant Foreman."

A/N: So, it seems that the only Russian resident of the building has decided to leave without the MC's direct permission. How could she even do that? And why?

Feel free to speculate in the comments if you want. You may also find some clues in Natasha's bio section from my information on the original residents chapter/post. Regardless, I plan to continue with the next one soon, so that we can all read what's on the letter.

I hope you liked this short chapter and until next time.
