Realistic or Modern Zombie Apocalypse

Miyuki listens to Austin as he mentions about splitting up, "Are you sure about that?" She asks as she holds Josh in her arms and then up at him, "Who would you want to take, Tammy or I? We are the only ones able to fight if we get into a tight spot." She says as she rubs Josh's back. Miyuki looks over at Tammy and then Austin.

Tammy's stubbornness was annoying Jennifer.


"How do you know the shots are perfect? Perfection in shots don't come in the timing between the shots, but the actual shot itself. Anyone could shoot perfectly timed shots apart. Think of it as if you're counting the beats in a 4/4 measure of 90 beats per minute. Anyone could easily shoot just like that. The shots themselves mean nothing, and there isn't much we can muster from them on their own. There's nothing to go on unless we actually go there and see it. The timing of the shots mean literally nothing. And you can't say the shots are perfect if you haven't seen them."


Jennifer was slightly dumbfounded how Tammy could think that the timing of the shots were perfect. Anyone could pick up a gun and go "1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4," and make perfect shots in timing from one another. Luckily, it seems that no one really bought what she said, because there wasn't any true evidence that is was Holiday.


Austin's idea of what to do seemed risky. Sure, Jennifer was still healing, and Miyuki has Josh, and Tammy, well, might not be proven enough to earn Austin's trust. But going alone is a bad idea. He should have some backup to at least watch over him, or at least be the eyes on the back of his head.


"Austin, are you certain about that? One of us could go with you and at least watch your back. I think someone should go. I would go, and stay in the car, and just make sure no one's creeping up behind you. Besides, I'm so high on adrenaline that I don't feel any pain. That, and painkillers, that is. But look, I'm not sure if you should go alone. At least bring one person with you, or have me go and sit in the car and watch your back. These raider assholes came out of nowhere. We didn't see them. We got ambushed, and lost a life. Someone should at least go with you and watch your back for more of them or not. We don't know who fired those shots, and we don't know if there are more of the raiders out there. I just think you should have one more person watch your back, but that's just me."

"Honestly, no. Risking my life on a hunch doesn't sound like something I want to do." Austin's words were a reply to them asking if this was a good idea. "But if it is Holliday, it sounds like he's in a bind. Normally I'd say let him get himself out of it...." Austin looked over at Jennifer, "But you and I owe him." Austin shrugged, then let his clip slide out to check his ammo which was half full. Sliding it back into his weapon he tried to think it through for another moment though time was limited.


Austin scratched his head out of light frustration, "Look, it's not a smart plan. But bringing any one of you means that I'd be risking not only my life with the dumb plan, but yours too. Not to mention if anyone from that group is following us or looking for us, then we need enough people to protect the kid and Tiffany. I'd rather go alone."


@tammynorthland @KathleneWilliams2121 @Jennifer Shotain

 

[Peacemaker .45]

"You raise a good point," started Jennifer, "you and I owe him. I know I'm not in the best shape, but you're right. I do owe him. But as I said before, you can use a set of eyes to watch your back. I can do that. I don't need to be walking and running with you. I can stay by the car, keep a lookout. I can do that much. And," she said as she looked at everyone left, "I think they'll be fine without me."


She looked down at her gun and took the magazine out, and saw it was fully loaded. She checked the chamber, and a round was in it.


"I'm ready to go if you're ready to go. I'll watch your back. You shouldn't be alone on this one. And as you said, we owe him."


By now, the adrenaline had been wearing off. The pain had slowly crept back, but it was manageable with the NSAID she took earlier. It shouldn't hamper her too much of shit were to hit the fan again.


@Crono @tammynorthland @KathleneWilliams2121

 

[KathleneWilliams2121]

Miyuki looks over at Jennifer and Austin, "How about you stay back. Jen, you are still injured. Like it or not, you can't go. What if your injury makes it hard for you to focus." She didn't want something to happen out there because of Jennifer getting hurt and she didn't want her to get worst. "I say the best plan we have is that Tammy and Austin go. I should stay here because I have a good range. If something does come at us, I can shoot them from a safe enough distance." Miyuki hates being left out of the action, but she felt it was best to be here with Tiffany and Josh. "That's my two cents though, you guys have the final say."


@Crono @Jennifer Shotain @tammynorthland

 

[tammynorthland]

Tammy opened the car door. " going!" She announced in the midst of the arguement. She had a hard feeling it was longshot she just knew it. She drew her crowbar and walked over the the driver side with austin. "Cmon cmon cmon!" She said stubbornly. She had the fire in her eyes when she was determined to do something. She just had to be part of the action but she also knew that miyuki had to protect the baby and that jen needed to stay on standby due to the fact that there was an injury on herself. She began to let her mind race she begun to amp up. She pulled open her backpack and pulled out her LAST protein bar. She ripped it open and begun to chomp into it. She had her mouth full.


"I'm hungry!" She realized crumbs on her face


@Crono @Jennifer Shotain @Lola Shimmer @KathleneWilliams2121

 

[Peacemaker .45]

Jennifer listened as Miyuki said her argument against going. As much as Jennifer hated to hear it, she was right. Her pain was coming back, although it wasn't too bad, and she was healing. But, she felt that if she went, she could provide over watch over Austin. She felt that she was the best shot in the group that was in the car, and her rifle was outfitted more towards medium to longer range engagements, being that she did have a 4x optic on it. Although, she did have a small RMR red dot on a 45 degree rail, her gun was more meant for medium range shooting. Of the people in the car, Miyuki had a bow. Sure, you could shoot longer range with it, but it's way harder to do so. And then Tammy wasn't familiar with firearms in the least. She wouldn't be able to provide cover fire so much as she would be using her crowbar. Because of this, Jennifer felt it was best she covered Austin from a distance. And not only that, but she does owe Holiday a favor for saving his ass, if he needs being saved.


"Alright, fine. I'll stay here. Austin, Tammy, be careful. We don't know who is shooting, and what is going on there. So, just be careful, alright," she said as she leaned back and sighed, rubbing her forehead and brushing the hair out of her eyes.


@KathleneWilliams2121 @Crono @tammynorthland

 

[Crono]

Austin listened as the girls debated, and the man stayed out of it. Instead he just listened until they pretty much decided that Tammy would be going. "Alright, take as much of the supplies out as you can then slide into the jeep with Tiffany. We'll take the car towards the shooting, we need a meetup point because you all can't sit out in the open like sheep waiting to be slaughtered." Austin gave it another thought, "And if we aren't back in say....an hour or so then you need to leave. If something goes horribly wrong and we need to warn you to run then Tammy or I will lay on the car horn, which will mean to get the hell out of dodge."

 

[tammynorthland]

Tammy continued to eat crumbs on her face she begun to listen to Austins plan, she did not intend on dying here. she know the risks, rewards, and consequences of splitting up. She also knew that without firearm skills all human combat would have to be done hand to hand. during her survival in the New World she never really came in contact with to many hostile humans, let alone humans in general. She recalled the last human contact she had before the group she met.


after the Zombie Outbreak Reaction Squad Tammy recalled recovering the firearm off of the gentleman. she remembered his biten neck, his scratched up face, and the corpses of the undead lying around him and his used to be men. She remembered his plead, his final request went unnoticed as One Eye was the last known survivor and she never relayed him the message fully. She walked the streets using buildings as cover. she hopped from building to building until she made it out of the central city of Ohio. She was inside an old marketplace which was completely looted. the room was dark and not well lit. She fell and tripped on something soft it moved and moaned. when Tammy turned around and recovered herself she noticed it was a corpse with two broken legs trying to claw at her. as she panicked she pulled out her kitchen knife which was all she had and stabed into the reaching out claw. the hand stuck to the ground as the corpse tried to pull itself toward her. Tammy staggered back as the body moved around cutting its tendons and hand apart to break free from the weapon. she gained distance and found herself in the back security room with computer monitors. There was a lifeless body in there as she shut the door. he had a crowbar in his hand and did not appear to be bitten. no he was shot clean through the head. She drew the crowbar used to the heavyweight it had to it. As she noticed the body continued at her with its now free claws. She approached it and let out a hard downward swing breaking the joint on the already sliced open hands elbow. then with another stoking blow to the head blood went all over her clothes. She was disgusted and couldn't believe herself. But it wasn't the first time.


Tammy rummaged the area for food and water and found a 6 pack of Dr. Pepper and a pack of candy. She hoarded that then heard footsteps. She hid in the monitoring room and stayed alert. as the footsteps neared her she heard a voice. "I am not here to hurt anyone." she knew that she was there.


Tammy stood up "what do you want?"


the voice replied, "I am the owner of this store. "


"why are you still here?" She asked


"because people still need supplies and I have them."


Tammy walked out to the voice, it was a old man armed to the teeth in riot gear and equipped with a small gun and some kind of shield. "wait really?" she said... Well I took a few things I didn't know anyone was here." she said bluntly admitting to stealing. "this body made its way in here too."


"ah that's okay all I ask is for stuff in return to trade" he rebuttled. "since money has no effect anymore and protection and food are worth a lot what do you have trade?"


Tammy was a bit taken back and she could have easily ran but he was in her way. he didn't seem hostile but she was not the chance taker. he held out a water from which he pulled from his pocket. " a gift." he smiled missing a tooth. "all I ask for is something for future customers."


Tammy nodded and begun to pull out some unneeded gear. " woah woah woah. not here. its not safe come into my shop." he stated walking her upstairs to a locked door." he pulled out 3 keys and unlocked each lock and opened the door. Tammy saw food as far as the ceiling could fit and supplies like medical, ammo, clothes, and water.


He smiled. you are being watched so do not try anything."


Tammy took his word for it. his whole shop was upstairs and inside this room were 2 beds. not for just him she knew. could it be a bluff? she did not plan to find out.


"why let me in here?" she asked.


he opened his dry mouth. "if you were going to kill me you would have done it already."


The words echoed again and again in her head. he was right. she continued her trade with the gentlemen who said he was out of rubbing alcohol, pain killers, and gauze. All these Tammy had plenty of from the complexes first aid kit she stole. she bartered.


"I need food and water, preferably high calorie."


he nodded and walked to a box and handed it over to her. "I will give you 2 days worth of food and if you have bullets of any kind let me look and I will make a meaty offer."


She smiled a bit still holding the crowbar. " I have this pistol but I need it and I only have this thing with bullets in it. " she pulled out a magazine, a spare, with ammo inside but she did not know.


He smiled. "that's not a lot but I will definitely give you something for it if you have water."


she hesitated. "wait you just gave me water?"


"ah yes but that was my last bottle."


"why give it up then?"


"because without the gift you would never trust me enough for me to ask for some in return for a fair price."


that was true "in this New World one cannot trust people anymore but with a little compassion you can earn it enough to ask for help in return. about 2 days ago I ran out of water and that was my last bottle. "


She looked around the room and noticed he was not lying not a single water in site. wine, liquor, gasoline, soda, but no water.


She pulled out the one liter jug she had and placed it on the small end table where her new stuff was. :this is all I can trade for."


"This is a MRE pack, there are 7 meals in here which on top of your other gear and if rationed properly should last you 10 days" she took the gift.


"how do I use it.?" she asked.


"Just add water which no both of us have."


"now please pack up and be on your way. The sun is setting soon and you need to continue moving and I need to lock up."


this man truly showed a big heart for someone he did not even know. he then held his gun at the door. "please... do NOT tell anyone of my location." I will not trade with anyone."


she started to pack her stuff and before she knew it was leaving from this hidden oasis. "wait..."


he replied with a rusty yes.


"why me and why offer stuff you need to strangers?" she asked


he shook his head. "simple ...someone needs to run the family business." he begun to laugh and then finished," anyone you come in contact with is either going to be killed or be an asset to you. And I know that neither of us would benefit from killing each other." his last words before closing the door were. "anyone you meet, you must find out if they are an asset or a liability before you make the final decision what to do with them." and he shut the door.





Those words from last month echoed in her ears to this moment. 'If I meet someone I must remember them as a threat or a friend.' she would not have made it without that man, If he was still alive that would be a miracle and she could have never found that hidden place whether he was dead or alive. She realized at this point these people were useful to her and protective of each other. She would continue to do her part, and help find Longshot. "You ready Austin?"

Miyuki nods her head at Austin as he explained their plan. "Alright...." Miyuki looks over at Jennifer and then Austin, "how about we meet up down the river. We should be able to build a temporary camp there until you three come back." She looks over and sees Tammy eating away a granola bar and shakes her head. She holds Josh up and opens the door and hops out of the cab. When Miyuki got out, she goes over to Tiffany and opened the door, "Hey Tiff, you ok?" She asks as she explains to her what was going on.

@Shimakage Thunder @Jennifer Shotain @tammynorthland

Tiffany's contractions have been acting up due to stress, but it was no worse then a stomachache...Well, one that hurt badly. When Miyuki opened the door, she took a deep breath. "I'm fine. Just really tired and I need a place to lay down."

 

[Crono]

(Just going to do a bit of skipping if nobody minds. :] )


Once everyone had unloaded the supplies and Tammy had gotten in Austin had driven off without a word. Steering the vehicle in the direction the gunfire had come from he kept his eyes peeled for anymore of the people that had shot at them as the car lurched down the street. "I don't like this..." He mumbled, for several reasons. As if to jinx it a black cloud of smoke came into view as they neared the location. The smell of smoke started to fill the car as they got closer, the shattered driver-side window letting it in, though they were still far enough out that they weren't effected visibility wise.


The man hoped they wouldn't need to leave the vehicle, there had been a reason he'd wanted to go alone. "This is probably a bad time to mention I can't run right now." He said, glancing at his passenger for a second before looking back ahead of them. The old knee injury wasn't going away and he'd been occasionally reaching down to massage the muscles in an attempt to get it to relax.


@tammynorthland

 

[tammynorthland]

Tammy rode shotgun until they got to the location and she begun to smell gunpowder smoke filling the air. they drew closer and begun to see bodies of movement, people? Holliday? who was that? she stared into the distance it was a little to far to tell but instead they paid attention to the road not to hit any corpsers she had pistol locked and loaded but still barely could fire it. it just made her feel better about herself and more worthful to the group. Tammy head what he said...


"wait are you fucking kidding me?" she said bluntly. she kept the stare at him until he gave her a look back.


@Crono

 

[Crono]

"Nope, that's why I wanted to go alone." Austin snorted before looking back over at her, "But you elected yourself to tag along, so we stay in the car. Simple." That had been his plan all along, but he couldn't exactly convince her to do the same without telling the truth. However if he'd said something back when they were with the others he suspected they'd try to stop him, and that would mean someone else would go in his place.


"Don't like it? Shouldn't have come along for the ride."


@tammynorthland

 

[tammynorthland]

Tammy felt her nostrils flare with anger that he talked back at her ."why would you opt to go alone being injured?! that'd be a worse idea than me being with you." Tammy glared back at the road as they approached... That was his truck...but hes not inside. she questioned did he get ambushed? where did .


he go if he left? Tamy begun to scan for him thinking he was fighting. "where the fuck are they?"


@Crono

 

[Peacemaker .45]

Collecting her stuff, Jennifer walked out and watched the car drive off. She let out a sigh. She wanted to go. She felt she could hold her own. But at the same time, Miyuki was right. She was healing, and if she needed to escape, could her injuries plague her? Could they slow her down? Regardless, she had to focus at the current plan. They needed to regroup somewhere close by. But the shootout from earlier is bound to draw undead from all directions. Concerned, Jennifer approached the jeep, where Miyuki and Tiffany were. It seemed they were in some sort of conversation, which Jennifer felt rude interrupting, but it was urgent.


"Hey, listen, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm afraid that our shootout earlier will draw the undead nearby to the general location. I advise that we do something, either get the hell out off this road and somewhere safe, or relatively safe, and hunker down. Or we all pile in the jeep. If they come by, we need to be prepared. Every undead walker is going to be drawn to this area in the surrounding mile. We have to be careful, and make a plan now," she said somewhat quietly and sternly, clutching her side as she felt slight pain enter it.


@Shimakage Thunder

 

[KathleneWilliams2121]

Miyuki nods over to Jennifer who just came up to them, "Alright then, then let's get moving." She says as she finish packing up the jeep. With Jennifer injured and Tiffany needing to rest, she thought she would be the best person to drive. She helps to move tiffany over and hands Jennifer Josh as she hops into the driver's seat and drives off with everything they had. "We'll make a small camp and wait for them at the spot." Miyuki says as she drives the three of them to the meeting spot.


@Shimakage Thunder

 

[BloodThunder27]

When Jennifer came by and interrupted her conversation with Miyuki, Tiffany wanted to blow up, since it was a little rude and because it was one of her off-days and she needed a punching bag, but now was not a time to be arguing. "We can pile up in the Jeep. I'm tired and I don't really want to drive." She said groggily before getting out of the car briefly in order to move into the Front Passenger Seat and slightly reclining the seat. The Jeep had enough supplies to last them at least a week, so they should be fine. However, they needed to find formula for Josh since Breastfeeding was now out the window.


@Jennifer Shotain @KathleneWilliams2121

 

[Peacemaker .45]

Slinging her rifle over her shoulder, Jennifer took Josh. Stepping into the back of the jeep, she looked down and at the baby. It was the first time that Jennifer ever held a child in, goodness, years. Looking at him, she felt something she couldn't quite understand. The feelings flooded her. There was a source of hope renewed, innocence, just holding him made her feel. Nothing is more innocent than a child. And the fact he was born into a world where there isn't any left was magical, yet depressing at the same time. The child would grow up never knowing what life was really like once. He would grow up looking at ruins of the world around him, and the dead walking around. To him, these would be shadows of a world long gone, one they could never imagine. He wouldn't view those walkers as bodies of people who once walked the Earth and had families and friends. They had loved ones, lives of their own, in a complicated world of technology, war, politics, and social status. The world they would grow up in would be the only world they ever knew, and the shadows of the past would remain just that. They wouldn't have the fortune of seeing the world that Jennifer and the others saw. They would see a world of violence and evil, more than the world prior to it. And while Josh has his innocence now, would this world corrupt him and make him like the others out there? Jennifer hoped not. He was a sign of hope, for her and the future of this world A baby, so innocent, brought hope to her, and maybe the others, to rebuild a world like the one of the past.


This reminded Jennifer of her dreams of being a mother. It made her chuckle silently.


"You know, I had these dreams when the world wasn't walked by the dead. I used to dream about the day I met a man and fell in love. And then we would get married and move out into the country. We'd get a big house, and have a ranch with animals like horses. We would live there, and just be that country couple. And then one day, we would have kids. They would grow up, and I would tech them everything I know. I would teach them respect and love. And then they would grow up and we would watch our kids find people of their own they love, watch them get married, and have kids of their own. And then me and my husband would live the rest of our lives there, in peace and happiness and love. And then we would die," she said with a smile, before stopping to sigh. "I guess none of that will ever happen now. I won't ever find that man, I won't ever get married. I won't find that house and land that I dreamed of and never have that ranch with horses. I'll never have kids of my own and watch them grow up and get married and have kids of their own, and then live the rest of my life at my house with the husband and die in peace, happiness, and love. That dream won't come true. Not in this life. It's not like I can go to doctors and get a heart transplant when my current donor heart runs out, and run to a pharmacy and get my meds. My life won't turn out the way I dreamed of it."


Jennifer sighed again, and looked at Josh, then looked out the window.


"We so often forget about the life before this. We forget that the walkers were once people, living their lives, with families, friends, and loved ones. We forget about the dreams we once had. Everything is about survival now. Survival, death, and then the undead. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rant. Just kind of came to mind. And talking out loud to people is nice after spending so long by yourself, and for only your thoughts to hear from yourself."


@Shimakage Thunder

 

[KathleneWilliams2121]

Miyuki stays quiet as Jennifer was talking. She felt the same way, that the world would never be the same. "That's a nice dream, almost like the one I would have." She says smiling as she drives the Jeep on the road, "I'm sorry that things don't turn out like your dream, but you can't give up hope." Miyuki didn't know what else to say afterwards. She had dreams like that before, to get married and have kids, but even when the world didn't go the hell she thought that would never happen so what were the odds with her in this world. "I don't think anyone really forgets about their dreams or forgets that those zombies had dreams and lives.....it's just that we need to stay alive because we believe that our dreams will happen, one form or another." Miyuki then keeps her mouth shut as she was thinking to herself she is mostlikely talking randomly about random things, not knowing what to say exactly. She just hoped what she said helped, even a little.


@Shimakage Thunder

 

[Tombstone]

(Several minutes prior to Ausitn and Tammy's arrival)


Holliday breathed a deep sigh of relief when the girl managed to kill the final zeds. She and her dog made a hell of a team, and he took note. He immediately began to reload his pistols with the rounds stuck in loops of his pistol belt. Chances were she really wast with the bandits as she had helped him and all, but you never could be sure. Loaded pistols would restore a lot of his confidence while dealing with this stranger. When he was done he coughed a few times and cleared his throat. "Appreciated, now Ill hold up my end of the bargain. If you weren't who you said you were, you'd probably have let me die. Cant say I still fully trust you, but I wont hold you at gunpoint any longer."


He then walked back over to the truck and set his black powder Remington down on the seat. It would take to long to attempt to reload it there. He pulled out his Winchester and leaned it against the door in case any more zeds showed up. Then he took out two plastics bottles wrapped with a red band and tossed one at the girl. "Cheers, you earned it." Holliday twisted the cap and took a drink of the coke. Its sweet but acidic flavor bit him as he sipped it down. What was that 3, no 4, near death experiences in the span of a week. Holy hell, what had he gotten himself into. Holliday finished the soft drink and tossed the bottle to the floor. With all that he had done in that single day, litter was the least of his offenses.


Now then, what to do with the girl? Holliday looked her over once more now that she was closer. She was young, not very well armed, and fairly skinny to boot. Because of her looks he was surprised at how she had lasted so long. If adrenaline hadn't have been coursing through his veins earlier he might have reacted differently. "So about your plans to go to the hospital, don't. There's raiders there, and from what I've seen unlike me they'll just kill you on sight. Now here's the deal, I'm currently with a group of people who seem like alright folk. I can take you too them, and they might just have a spot for you. Or we can part ways, and you can continue on all lone wolf like. Wouldn't bother me none."


As Holliday waited for an answer he saw headlights in the distance. Probably a mile away. "Shit, we'll have to get back to that later. Someones coming!" Holliday grabbed his rifle and looked around. He spotted a building which had a ladder leading to its roof on the side. "There come on. Well get to the roof and wait to see who it is, my truck will draw their attention and they'll investigate. Best case scenario they're from the group I was telling you about. Worst case scenario they're raiders looking for me. If that's the case we'll dry gulch (ambush) them from up there." Holliday then quickly escalated himself to the top and got perched to snipe down below. When the figures emerged, he saw familiar faces.


@Crono, @tammynorthland, @Dibbydoo

 

[tammynorthland]

they pulled right next to the rig and Tammy pushed her butt off the seat as her feet hit the pavement. there was a bottle of coke on the ground next to his passanger door... 'where was he' she said in her mind. bodies littered the road and there weren't just bulet holes. Tammy was arrogant but she was not stupid and she knew Holliday could hold his own but not against this many unless he had some... she noticed a wound in the eye of a corpse. she gazed into it. "a knife wound?" she knew Holliday would never use a knife that small. she noticed he had a tendancy to overdue everything. oops sounds familiar to her. she then stared around the combat zone.


no sign of him but she knew he had to be nearby. but where was he and why was he leaving the truck in the open like this? these were all viable questions. she noticed there were some of his footprints from the blood shed. at least she could tell Austin she told him so. tammy smiled a bit crowbar clenched and pistol tightened in the other hand. as she looked and scouted the area she noticed no places to run in the woods but saw a small building off the side of the road probably an old market perhaps. she saw very little in the dark and it was hard to see perfectly but she swore she could see the moonlight shining off something. " Longshot I can se your rifle barrel from the moonlight!" she chanted. "I think you gave yourself away!"


@Mercer @Crono @diddydoo

 

[Crono]

As soon as Austin had slowed the car Tammy was off, "What happened to staying in the damn car!?" He called after her though not very loud, so he guessed she might not have heard most of it. Letting out a growl he took a look outside the window before turning the car off so there was a dead silence then stepped out with his pistol in hand. Tammy had already started searching ahead of him, though the man stepped up to the truck with a limp then peered inside. "Well it's definitely his truck alright." What a mess. The mans eyes focused on the furthest buildings trying to make out any shapes moving.


Next thing he knew Tammy was shouting as if she was talking to someone all of a sudden, and Austin followed her gaze warily. Though he wasn't as foolish, instead he nearly fell over backwards as he tried to move behind Holliday's truck and out of the line of sight, "Are you crazy!? That could be anyone!" He hissed, angry that she'd given away their position even though that probably hadn't mattered as they were out in the open anyhow.


@Mercer

 

[Peacemaker .45]

Sighing and looking at Josh, Jennifer quietly replied to Miyuki.


"Maybe."


She opted not to say anything else. She really didn't have much to say after what she did. She knew that dream would never come true. It was wishful thinking to think it would. Even a lie to convince herself that it would. With the dead walking the Earth, everything changed.


"So where exactly are we going to regroup at," she asked, attempting to change the subject.


@Shimakage Thunder

"Well Austin never really said anything about my plan so I'm guessing we're heading up the river, away from the mill and finding a clearing and set up a temporary camp." She says as she drives by the river. Miyuki looks over at Tiff and then the road. She was worried about what was going to happen when she does end up going into labor. "We need to make a plan after Austin and Tammy gets back with hopefully Holliday. We will need to find a safe place to lay low for a while." Miyuki tries to think of a plan, something to get them to safety but the problem was that no where was safe or at least completely...there was always danger behind every single corner, whither it's a zombie, bandits, or something else.


She then finds a small clearing right next to the river, big enough for a small camp site. "Wow, got lucky." she says as she pulls up next to it and stops the Jeep.
