ARCHIE MURDOCH McKEEGAN
If there was one thing, that pissed him off more than losing the rugby, it was Americans confusing him for being Irish. Of course, he loved the Irish to bits and was distantly related on his mother's side, but it was infuriating. Even then, with a zombified passenger beside him, an insane patient, a decent enough young woman, and two men appearing mentally troubled, it sounded like the beginning of a bad joke.
"I'M BLOODY SCOTTISH YE WEE BASTARD, THINK AGAIN WHEN YE DETERMINE NATIONALITIES YE FOOKIN' EEJIT. IF YE WANT A FIST TO THE FACE, YER GOIN' THE RIGHT WAY ABOUT IT." He inhaled heavily, leaning forwards whilst looking over at Melanie. "I'm sorry darlin'. I'd bury you proper if we had time." She began lunging across the empty seat between them, trying to claw him towards her. Yet the jolting movements caused her seatbelt to hinder the creature that now possessed the young woman.
Taking his time to turn into the backstreets, losing the undead as best he could, Archie heard the shouts. A young woman not too far from the main road begged, and the Scotsman didn't have the heart to pass her by. He slowed to a stop, keeping close watch of the few biters who wandered aimlessly in their direction and cut the engine. Stepping out the vehicle, he put his hand out to ward the stranger away from danger, whilst unlatching Melanie's door. He wrapped her head in the bloody shirt she left, to avoid being bitten, whilst undoing her seatbelt and dragging her out the seat. She writhed and growled, clawing and a mewling for flesh with milky white eyes. "Aye." McKeegan murmured, reaching back inside for his shotgun. He shoved her to the floor, burying the point of the barrel into the back of her skull to pull the trigger. It damn near decapitated the corpse. Yet the thing stopped moving. Alas, the noise would draw the dead - that he knew.
Looking up at Carley, he moved forwards. "Get in the truck. But if yer bitten, that'll be you in a few hours. A'ight, hen?"
