Markus and Leon had been walking for days with no idea where they were or even where they were going. They had passed a sign that was torn up and otherwise, looked rustic, that read in big letters WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS. Markus thought about and rubbed his head, smiling. His dark blue eyes surveyed the area as he saw no sign of life at all. Could it really be that there is no longer any life left on this planet?, Markus thought to himself. He looked down at Leon as the german sheperd looked up at him and began to pant very gently as if he was waiting for something.
Markus smiled and nodded. He knew that Leon might be hungry. He saw an abandoned super market or that's what it looked like from the front of it. Markus and Leon both entered and looked around. Markus took a handgun out from the holster that he picked up earlier before he arrived in Las Vegas. He knew that he probably wouldn't need it, but it was like a condom. He would rather have one and not need it, then need it and not have one. Leon surveyed the area by smell and tracking then barked to Markus, as if giving him an all clear. Markus smiled and headed for a cart to gather some supplies.
A few hours passed by as Markus and Leon exited the super market and looked around. Next to the abandoned super market was what seemed like a apartment that was in ruins. Markus thought it was perfect and decided to occupy the surrounding area. As they entered the apartment, Leon did his usual thing and gave him an "all clear". Markus sighed then grabbed a random key from the keyrack, heading to a room that on the lowest floor possible. He opened the door and brought the grocery cart inside. The place was a complete mess. He was ok with that though, just needed some tidying up.
Another few hours passed as Markus began to clean. In the last few hours, he was able to make the place look liveable. He even found some weapons that were stored here by the person that lived here before the Armageddon hit, which was alot of help to Markus. The sun was beginning to set now, turning day slowly into night. Markus set up a chair to the "balcony" window and sat down, his handgun in his right hand. Leon came and laid down right next to his master very quietly and gently. Markus leaned over and began to scratch the top of Leon's head, then took in a deep breath and let it out.
"Don't worry, boy. We'll find our answers soon. I hope. Go get some rest."
With that being said, Leon immediately followed his masters orders and got up, heading to the bed Markus had made up for him. Markus sat there for a few minutes, thinking to himself. He then got up and went over to the front door, locking it with all the locks their were, then went over to the window, shutting the blinds. After everything was made secure, Markus headed to bed, which was a couch that lay right next to Leon's bed. Markus laid awake for most of the night with the gun in his right hand still. He was wondering what would have happened if things would have turned out differently.
