said.
    "What is?" I asked.
    "Them. How did they find us? I thought we had killed them back there. On our way to the bridge there were none of them wandering around accept the one that we had killed."
    I understood what Claire meant. Then I saw a bloodied torn piece of cloth on a piece of plank at the end of the bridge. It belonged to Sarah.
    "Claire, I think they found us because of this." I showed her the bloodied cloth.
    "Blood? Oh no, Sarah! We need to change her clothes or cleaned her immediately! How can we be so careless!" Claire ran to the truck and found her sleeping. I was glad to see her sleep, she must have been so tired. Roger was a good brothe, I know because how he was able to take care of Sarah, even though she has no relation with him at all. We are getting closer to the marked place on the map in Fort Knox but we had to stop in a fashion boutique store, which was long abandoned. We need to change Sarah’s dress for a new one as it would less attract the walkers. She had got cleaned up and wore a new outfit, and we got back to the truck and continued our journey.
    Fort Knox was a very big city. There were many skyscrapers, retails shops, beautiful gardens and parks but unfortunately this city was also haunted. The place was so quite and sometimes we saw a couple of walkers wandering around looking for something to feed on. We had to be very careful, as they were very sensitive to sound and smell. As I drove, Claire kept on telling me which way to go, avoiding any necessary obstacles and looking for shortcuts. After several minutes we arrived to the place as marked on the map. It was "Newton’s Future Technology and Past Relic Museum". Claire and I got stared with each other. We should have expected that. The museum was very big the wall were painted and decorated like ancient world such as those times in ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. The four pillars at the entrance looked like somewhat there were many ancient writings or codes that seemed impossible to be cracked. We discussed about our planned before we entered the building. I asked Claire to keep Sarah with her while Roger were going with me. We had to go separate ways to figure out this puzzle and to have more chances that we were able to uncover it.
    The museum was very big, it was dark inside, since there was no electricity. We had our torchlights with us and other important gadgets for this mission. Ancient artifacts were kept secure inside a glass display and there were statues of different times from the past and many machines that I guess were the foundation of what devices we have today. We patiently inspected each and every one of them to see if there were any hidden clues or messages within them. But unfortunately, every time we thought we had figure it out we found a dead end. We never gave up and kept on going with our searched.
    Claire and Sarah were inside another room, which I guess was art gallery. There were many paintings from the ancient times. It was that moment Claire started yelling my name, telling me to come and see her. Roger and I rushed toward them to know what had happened.
    "What is it Claire?" I asked.
    "I think I found it." She replied.
    "Do you see that massive painting in the middle at the far end of the wall?" Added Claire.
    "Yeah, it’s a picture of a red dragon. Wait, did you mean . . ."
    "Yes. Do you remember when we solved the pendant puzzle? It says, "As red as an angry dragon, by the flame which it breathes fire, only then I will shine." The painting over there shows a red dragon, it breathes fire toward that circle thing which I guess the sun, and it lights up the dark."
    "Claire, do you think there was something behind that painting?"
    "Let’s find out."
    Just when we were about to move, the power was activated and all the lights were switched on. We immediately moved to another room and hid ourselves behind huge round pillars that supported the room. Then a female voice that sounded familiar to Claire started
