Fall into Ashes

[InsaneTruth]

the tunnels were not as empty as before there was the occational infant or toddler walker small enough to fall down through street drains and small holes nothing Rick couldn[t handle if he could bring himself to it.


Kai demanded coffee as he slept none and was grumpy.

 

[Ricia]

Sage bought him some coffee, handing it to him, "Kai... have you slept at all? You're going to pass out soon.. you know the human body can only go 3-4 days without a few hours of rest.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I tried," Kai said "even counted blasted sheep," he rubbed his head.


KAt was awake "Kai... maybe if ... you just lay down some more?"


"Kat I didn't know you were awake," Kai said

 

[Ricia]

"Hey Kat." Sage said lightly relived to see him awake, "Kat is right... why not lay down more?" Sage asked him before putting his coffee on the table, "Nothing is a pressing issue... people are feed, there are cleared places for the schools, which Rick is getting." Sage told Kai, "Besides.. someone has to keep Kat company. Should we move to our room?" Sage asked him. Perhaps that would make him more comfortable.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yeah... how long will the food last... we will need to send a group out to get more..." Kai said softly his mind sort of trailing off as he reached for the coffee.

 

[Ricia]

"That isn't pressing. We are fine. This place is suppose to be feeding itself several months... more then half the population is dead.." Sage saw Kai's unfocused hands wounder. Worried he would knock it over or spill it she guided the cup to his hand.

 

[InsaneTruth]

he took a sip "months... how log does it take this zombie thing to die out... why is Hollywood so nondescritive?" Kai asked "lets... go... I need my desk,"

 

[Ricia]

"Can you take a break?" Sage asked with a sigh, though she stood up and rounded the bed before helping Kat up for him to lean on her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I thought we were going to take a break," Kai said looking at her.


Kat sighed but let Sage help him "Ok Kai... break means no thinking... none,"

 

[Ricia]

"Yeah.. if you keep it up i'll give you something to think about and i'll give you a hint about what that is... it has something to do with the duffle bag under your bed." Sage told Kai with a grin.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'll toss it out the window," Kai said unamused in an almost grouchy normal Kai tone.


Kat laughed "he wouldn't he likes it too much,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage smiled lightly before lightly punching Kat in the side as they walked, "You moron. You promised me you would be fine." She scolded, her attention turning to Kat now.

 

[InsaneTruth]

hey no injuring me I'm already hurt," Kat whined hamming it up.


"KAt... I'm putting you on a leash," Kai said

 

[Ricia]

"Put Kai on one too.." She whispered to Kat. Then spoke louder, "Hey Kai.. to save time, why not let me go get everyone at the safe house?" Sage asked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"No," Kai said "you are too reckless... alone," he said "I can't leave and Kat's hurt,"


"Sage... isn't that bad boss," KAt said "but I would prefer to go with you ,"

 

[Ricia]

"I'll be under the sewers the whole time....." Sage said with a sigh, "Just let me do. I just have to walk there and back. I'll have people with me when I get there."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Sage," Kai said "I'm at wits end sending Rick out,"

 

[Ricia]

"Whys that?" Sage asked Kai. He didn't really care that much for Rick, right? Well.. Sage liked Rick well enough to care if he died.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"because he is a asset we can't afford to loose," Kai said "I can not loose you for more then that reason Sage,"

 

[Ricia]

"Come on Kai... we'll save time like that." Sage said with a sigh, "I've been perfectly fine. Kat's the one who got himself bitten twice..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yes once to protect you then in a team of three you come back with only one," Kai said

 

[Ricia]

Sage puffed up her cheeks, "Back me up Kat. I supported you coming here. He was going to leave you back at the safe house."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat gave sage a worried look. He wanted to back her up but he was scared. He was now torn and his pause even if small was all Kai needed "No,"


"Kai... she's capable..." Kat said

 

[Ricia]

Sage gave an annoyed growl. Kat hesitated too long and she knew it. "You let Kat come even though he was injured. And you let him go injured yesterday too. I'm not injured and I've been doing good. I've not been that reckless either..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Sage you live breath and eat reckless... " Kai said "you are too good at killing you take to much joy in it... you are becoming a monster, so do as I say and let me keep you neer me so I can catch you if you fall... and so you can catch me in return,"
