Fall into Ashes

[Ricia]

Rick climbed down after he set the manhole down. His helmet was on so he could see in the darkness well enough, "Did you have a light?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am fine," Kai said he knew Kat packed him a night goggles so he put them on they were not as high tech as Ricks but it let him see well enough to know if he was in danger. "Light is only asking for someone to find you,"

 

[Ricia]

"Or to trip and fall into nauseous fums and drown into human waste mater." Rick told Kai, giving a nasty image. With that he motioned froward, "You're leading, where are we going?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Elemetary school," Kai said "Kai and Chi are only five... they have to be scared," he told Rick. "I won't fall, I knows these tunnels like I know my own body, and trust me I know my body,"

 

[Ricia]

"I was joking about fumbling in the dark." Rick said before starting to walk where the element school is. "Nothing about your physical attributes."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"You were?" Kai asked a brow raised "I was sure you thought me just as in need of protection as everyone else," he told Rick as they walked

 

[Ricia]

"I already made it clear that I wasn't coming to protect you, didn't I?" Rick said to Kai.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yes but, I do not think you'd weep if I were to die either, one less future thorn in your side," Kai said it was no secreat Kai was the underworld prince and he gave everyone trouble it was his job.

 

[Ricia]

"I don't think I would weep either... but unlike you, you're not really my enemy. You're my employers enemy. If you died... and things did go back to normal, then I might just be making less money because you're not around for people to pay me to try and stop. So I think I rather you stay alive." Rick said with a chuckle.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai shook his head "I will never understand mercinaries," he said dryly. "Well when money ids back in style... I'll compensate you for your aid," Kai said "for now all I can offer is safe houses guns and company,"

 

[Ricia]

"It really depends how this all plays out... in a survival situation.. Money is only kindle." Rick told Kai. "With Sage around... that is about all the company I can handle..." He said dryly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I said when," Kai shrugged "Society will pick back up and even if it doesn't I am capable of adapting," Kai said. He stopped and looked around he could have swore he heard something. His eyes narrowed and he looked up, could it be above his head?

 

[Ricia]

Rick stopped when Kai stopped. He turned to look at him, then look up as well.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I heard something," Kai said. He just didn't know where it came from. "We best move faster," Kai said and began moving again.

 

[Ricia]

Rick waited for Kai to move past him, keeping a long eye on behind them before turning to start walking forward again.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai was on edge and he was holding the weapon as if he would have to use it at any second. he muttered to himself what all he had on him going through senareos and possible reasons for all this.

 

[Ricia]

Rick turned to look behind him again, he turned to see it... it was there, crouched on all four like a creature hunting it's prey. It was stalking them so quietly. Rick grabbed the back of Kai's shirt and yanked him a bit, though one hand covered his mouth to keep him from yelling at him. Rick had a feeling it thought they couldn't see it. It was pitch black.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai was shocked if Rick had not covered his mouth he would have yelled at him. Kai glared at Rick he didn't struggle but he put his finger on the trigger all he had to do was aim and pull. Rick was being too still.

 

[Ricia]

Rick let go of Kai before pointing forward. He was wondering if... what ever it was, was just as blind as they were.. well they were suppose to be. The other zombies seem to really have bad eye sight. He was not sure how this one was functioning... it was somehow.. different. He couldn't quite figure out why..

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai flinched it was like an animal it reminded him of a hunting cat. Kia looked at it though his goggles made it hard to tell where he was looking he stared at it waiting for it to make a move he did not make a sound but Rick could see a light tremer run through the blue haired teenager. He was afraid but he was also ready to shoot. Zombies were slow right?

 

[Ricia]

Rick statred to lead them forward again, more like stepping backwards slowly. He watched it slowly follow them.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai shook his head he was not going to be chased it could see them it was following them. Kai held the gun and slowly raised it.

 

[Ricia]

Rick gave an almost indubitable sigh before crouching, his finger on the trigger to release the spring loaded blades. He was not sure how best to approach it... he couldn't tell what it could or could not do.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai aimed and fired the pistol had a silancer but even then in a small space it made a bit of noise. Kai had good aim but it was dark and if the creature moved his chances of sucessful hit changed a head was a small target.

 

[Ricia]

When Kai pulled the trigger, the zombie seemed to move just enough to the side it his it in the shoulder. It then yelled before running at them with such speed that Rick jumped into action. His blade struck it right in the head and slowly cut down it's body till about mid neck. Rick flung it to the side off his blade.


"That was not a normal one of them..." Rick said before standing up.
