There is indeed a parking garage. William flew over them with a bit of a whoosh.
A little while of awkward conversation and silence later, the pair make their way to Kendall's apartment.
William was waiting, though being polite and waiting in the hall.

Peter climbs in and says, "guess we could have waited to talk until now," says Peter as he climbs into the passenger seat. "Are we waiting for William or does he have his own?"

"Sweet you can fly too. See that is the problem now a days. Not enough of us can fly." Mei looks to Peter in hopes that there is something she does not know about. "After you Peter as it is your place!"

Making there way upstairs he lets in Mei and the alien. He says to Mei, "I guess you could look up the Iron Brigade, I'll look for news on zombies. Unless you have another suggestion William."
Kendall grabs his laptop and sits down and begins searching local news sites for anything that might be classed zombie-ish

William nods. "I am pretty sure about where to look. BUt we need to cycle through some information to find Mr. Fixit."
Kendall's work brings up 1,300,000 hits for Century station.

Having no skill with the laptop save for basic surfing and facebook Mei makes her attempt. "Um I should warn I really am not that good at this, but I will do my best."
She also knows how to use office and all that nice stuff

"Who is Mr. Fixit? Mei go to google and type in Iron Brigade in quotes, then a space and Century station in quotes, see what you get."
Kendall begins looking through the things that came up in his search.
"This much information on Zombies in CS? You got to be kidding me."

Perusing the hits reveals to Kendall that there are a lot of movie viewings of zombies, reviews of zombies, short stories about zombies, models of zombies, love poems to zombies... etc. And that's before the things that happen to have zombies in the body text...
Mei pulls up news reports about Iron Brigade activity. "Nicely done." William says. "Mr. Fixit is the supplier of the Iron Brigade. We might be able to track the brigade down through him... Though..." he starts looking at the information. "Does this... goooglee have the ability to map out the locations embedded in each story?"

Kendall looks up and says, "depends on the news outlet. Some might give explicit details of where the event occurred, some might show a map, or just landmark pictures. You'll have to look through them almost individually."
Kendall looks back at his screen and thinks about his search results, "hey William do you have any other information on this zombie thing? Oh, and why do we need the Iron Brigade?"

"Map thingee, I am not sure. Let me try." As Mei attempts to look up the Map on her laptop.
No skill still - [dice=100]/25
Mei visibly gets frustrated at the laptop. "Ugh, I am sorry, I only used this to type up papers and stuff. I mean I know how to check my email and simple stuff. I mean I can facebook like no tomorrow. I am sorry."[rand=2598133256678617504720281425988348584082744350459062893365262070793]

"Just take your time Mei. We aren't in a rush. If it doesn't work once, try it again."
Kendall uses a search engine to look for Police reports that contain zombie in them.

Still frustrated by the laptop. "Fine I will try again. I mean why could it not be on book they are so much better."
Still no skill - [dice=100]/25
"Stupid laptop." She shuts the lid on it. Ugh, I soo prefer books."

"Sorry it didn't work. I'm sure over by the door are some old newspapers. May be some news on the brigade in there," Kendall says while pointing to the recycling bin by the door.

Mei tries to figure out is he is being genuine or condescending. But being that she is frustrated..."Fine I will go read the stupid newspaper then." One can tell she is very unhappy and frustrated by this turn of events and what Peter said did not help either. She walks over to door grabs the newspapers and looks around realizing this is not her place quickly slips on her shoes and walks out of the apartment slamming the door behind her.
Once outside of the apartment she will use her flight cautiously, otherwise run towards the stairs. Once there she will use her flight to head up towards the roof! Either way at this point she starts to let the tears flow.
