Futuristic Brain Burger

"So why don't you tell me about--" Norman was interrupted by a knock on the floor. He paused for a moment as he looked past Chandler. "Come in!" He called out to whoever it was that was knocking. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna opens the door and peeks in. "It's just me. I think I found some stuff that might be of interest." she said softly while stepping in slightly and walking over to where Chandler and Norman were and taking the knife, magazines and photo out of her pocket. "I think these might be yours... I found them in a car nearby..." she said softly. (@DrTrollinski)
 
Hunter came out of the shower, his expression still showed his disposition for anything at the moment. Though this changed when he saw Ann sobbing against Elizabeth. "Ann?" His voice was almost like a whisper, not just in its volume, but in its remembrance of his caring side to Ann. His eyes lost the darkness that had encased them, showing now the guy who was willing to extend a hand even in a time like this. (@Soul OMU )
 
Elizabeth looked up slightly at Hunter as she held Annie, Annie slightly lifted her head as she looked at him. "H-Huh? O-Oh hey Hunter." she said and quickly wiped her tears away. "What's up?" she asked softly while moving away from Elizabeth. Elizabeth getting up to leave them alone. (@Huntrey)
 
Chandler reaches out and takes the picture and knife from her; he tosses the knife onto the desk in front of him but holds the picture up close, gulping as he inspects it - it was a picture of just him and his father - he's younger in the picture, perhaps around the age of eight. He didn't say anything at first but then looked up to Brianna, nodding at her. ".. Thank you." He whispered.


"Thank you for that, Brianna..." Norman said to her. "Could you go and find that Hunter guy for me? I think he had some stuff he wanted to talk about." He said to her, nodding. (@Soul OMU)
 
Hunter watched Elizabeth leave and then returned his gaze to the girl. The strong impenetrable girl was a big softie and Hunter knew that, but she was never one to cry for no reason. "Ann, why were you crying?" His voice was still soft, almost not sure if the conversation would lead to him talking more or none at all.
 
"Uh... If he's talkin' to someone just stick your head in when you get a chance, but don't interrupt. Just let him know I'd like to speak to him when he's free." He said to her, smiling. (@Soul OMU)
 
Brianna nodded and slipped out of the Dispatcher's Office to go look for Hunter, wandering about the halls as she did so since she was in no rush. (@DrTrollinski )


----


Annie rubbed her hands together slightly while looking down. "I...I..." she said softly before sniffing slightly. "I... Just wish you'd talk to me again... You know you can tell me anything right...? Haven't I proved that already?" she said softly while lifting her gaze up to him slightly. (@Huntrey)
 
Hunter let his gaze meet hers, just a tinge of happiness could be seen by a small smile. "I know that... You have proved it more then anyone else here." He broke the gaze and adjusted the towel around his neck, again his past was creeping up on him in ways he didn't want.
 
Stewart walks over to the dispatcher's office and strolls in,


"Oh, didn't mean to interrupt you two." He says to Norman and the new kid.


(@DrTrollinski)
 
Chandler placed the picture down on the desk and took a deep breath, still staring down at it; Norman looked over at it and sighed.


"That you and your dad there...?" He asked him.


Chandler gave a long exhale and cleared his throat. "Yeah." He choked, forcing a shaky smile before turning the picture over. Norman looked at the sadness in his eyes and frowned a little, seeing that Chandler was pained just by simply looking at the picture.


".. What happened to him?" He asked softly in a friendly and gentle tone, Chandler leaned back in his chair, not making eye-contact with him; he glanced around the room for a few seconds while he began speaking, but once he had begun his explanation he just looked at the area around Norman, but not directly at him.


"We were livin' in Fort Lauderdale in Florida. When all this started it was just us and our neighbors - We heard there was military in Jacksonville so we went there; we ended up livin' in this 'anti-terrorism bunker'; on the way there we made friends with a few people and even had a sergeant from the army with us. There was this doctor, too. James, his name was... He did research on the whole... Cause of the undead thing before we left that place - my dad taught me how to shoot a rifle and drive a car on my twelfth birthday which was only three days after we got out the bunker... He heard on the radio that there was this big settlement up north in Virginia, he--.." Chandler paused and took a deep breath, looking off to the side. ".. We got attacked on the way here in a store... He got stabbed, but... He still managed to stop me from gettin' hurt. I... He told me to leave him, said he couldn't make it any further..." He muttered, he quickly reached up and swiped his eyes with the sleeve of shirt, sniffling a couple of times. "And I looked him in the eyes and told him that..." He paused and wiped his eyes again, swallowing hard. ".. That I was okay with leavin' him right there."


Norman was certain he was about to burst into tears; he wasn't really sure how to react, but when Chandler's struggle to hold back the emotion collapsed, it only became more difficult for Norman to react to - tears streamed down Chandler's cheeks but he covered his face with his hands; with a sigh Norman rolls his chair over and places a gentle hand on his shoulder. (@Stew)
 
Hunter put his hand on her shoulder, pushing her back on the ground softly and sitting down next to her. "Ok Ann... What do you want to know?" He knew what she would ask, but this way he wouldn't have to confront it for another couple seconds. 
(@Soul OMU )
 
Annie sighs softly and runs a hand through her hair. "God where do I even start... There's just... so much I don't know about you but you won't tell me anything... But... It's not my place to ask is it...? Cuz we're not together together so I have no right to pry." she said while looking away.
 
Stewart takes a sip of his coffee before taking a step backwards,


"I think I'll go." He says, followed by him walking out the door and towards the kitchen.


(@DrTrollinski)
 
Norman sighs as Stewart leaves and then squeezes Chandler's shoulder slightly, taking a deep breath.


"What happened to him wasn't your fault, Chandler..." He said to him, attempting to comfort him in the slightest - the sobs only got worse; he began just all out crying now.


"I coulda' saved him... I coulda' saved him but I didn't!" He bawled, Norman shook his head and hushed him softly.


"No, no... No you couldn't. Don't go blamin' yourself for that, alright? Sometimes things happen, Chandler... Even when we don't want 'em to..." He said, Chandler just turned to him and hugged him. He was desperate for some support after trying for almost a week to cope with it alone - Norman as taken aback and slightly startled by it but he allowed it to go on. He just let him cry out all the emotion and pain that he had bottled up. He was full of regret, clearly, and the most he could do was give him a back-rub for the time that he was embracing him. After around five minutes he pulled away and wiped his eyes.


"Can I go outside? I need some air." He whimpered, Norman nodded and watched him as he walked out; Chandler went downstairs and out the front door, leaning up against the wall beside it to take a breather for a while.
 
Hunter didn't look in her direction, staring off into space at her rejection of them being together. "I sat down Ann, I'll tell you anything." He then matched her soft sigh, "Just don't make me regret it please.". (@Soul OMU )
 
Annie sighs softly and plays with her fingers. "...Who's Sara...?" she asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "...Don't answer that if you want..." she said softly as she sighed. "...What were you planning to do with your life before all this?" she asked afterwards. (@Huntrey)
 
Hunter continued to look off in space, his lips smiling and frowning as he recalled memories leading up to this point. "Before all this? I don't even remember what I was majoring in, nor do I remember what college, or anything of the sort. All I remember is my military career and a girl who would wait for me everyday from basic.".
 
Annie sighs softly. "Oh... I see..." she said softly while fiddling with her fingers slightly. "...What were your parents like...? Did you have any siblings...?" she asked softly while looking at him slightly before looking down. (@Huntrey)
 
Stewart leans onto the desk, his elbows propping himself up,


"So, what was the last movie you watched?" He asks, followed by a chuckle.
