Joe -On the road - Lia
"The fuck? What... Uggh."
Everything came back to Joe. He had awaken in the with Lia and Renegade. Thing weren't good. The group gone off corse, got lost. As the two argued, A deer popped out in front of their car. Lia swerved off road, and into a wooden area. It tumbled down and into a tree. Joe looked around. Lia was bleeding, as a shrapnel cover left arm. However, it seemed her Arm was also implanted wiith a stick. She might had have some head injury, since was out cold.
As the girl laid in her driver's seat, Joe was no better. He was already in rough shape, now he was bleeding from the head. That didn't matter to him. Lia, his only friend, was hurt. As Renegade, barked a storm, slamming himself into the door to get out, Joe realized shamblers had started to swarm them. It was the end it seemed for of them, as Joe was Trying his best to get his door open,
to no luck, and the windshield, while broken, was pinned against a tree.
"Lia! I'm sorry. Fuck. I don't know how much time we have, or if you're awake. but I'm sorry."
I fucked your life up. You're going to die here because of me. I just....."
As a shambler came to his side of the crushed car, Joe would close his eyes, waiting for it to start banging on his window.
But it never did.
Joe opened his eyes, clearing he blood off his face, Joe would see a man, dressed all in what seemed to be thick, brown leather, fighting the shamblers off with two weird looking swords. The top seemed like a hook, the "pommel" area was a sharp point, and even had a another edge coming from the griped area. As the group of the dead circled the man, he easily swatted them down. All his movements came out fluid,
One swing lead to another, a bisection of one, lead to a beheading of another. Soon, all the dead were, well, "dead" dead. The man placed his weird looking swords on his back, moving his way to Joe. Joe would notice something about the man.
A smile. A man knowing who he was, doing right. Helping other. The man opened Joe's Door, followed by letting out Renegaded the dog. Joe Would rush to Lia's side, Pulling her out, and would cradle her. As the man petted the dog, he'd call out to Joe
"She's alive, right?"
"I don't know? I mean, She is, tell me you're a doctor. Or A least know someone. She's hurt bad."
Motioning Joe to follow. the two men, and the dog, would move towards the road. Th4e man would kick the dirt, obviously worried.
" Look, I won't lie, I know of a group with a doctor, just not personally. Their leader, she's a doctor. I've been watching for a few days. I from another group, we're looking for trading partners, allies. These people seem trustworthy. Look, it's a straight shot. They're good people. I'll meet you there, I just need to get my horse."
As Joe nodded, The man would look through is satchel, pulling out a Scroll. As Joe held it, he noticed it was sealed with wax.
"You give this to their leader. Before I go, what's your name?"
"Joe. Yours?"
The man slightly paused. After the man spoke, the two would split, not before Joe found out the man's name/
"Just call me Thom."
Fan - Rick's room - Rick
"So my choices are few and far between, huh? I can keep taking these pills, and try to survive and not weaken us, or I agree to be put down."
As Fan stood in front of him, she turned away slightly. Turning back, Fan rebutted the young man
"You wouldn't be slowing us down, Rick. Look, I'm not going to sugar coat it. The pills have side effects. I just want you to make your own choice.
Rick's face turned a bright red, he turned away, moving towards his window.
"I'm not a monster."
"I know."
"I didn't mean to hit Asya, I love her. That guy, he's no-"
"He's not you. I know. You're just sick. If the world wasn't shit, we wouldn't be having this talk."
The young man nodded.
"I love her, Asya, I love her more than anything. I just don't want to live with him inside me."
Fan nodded.
"Just quick stab in my head? It'll be over?'
Fan again nodded.
"And you'll protect her?"
The doctor nodded once again.
"Alright, if Asya asks, I did this for her. Cuz I love her. We clear?"
"Crystal, Rick."
......................................................................
Fan - Gates- everyone
Walking out of Rick's room, Fan had cleared the blood of her hands in the sink. Greg and Asya would running the stairs towards her. Both seemed concerned. Greg would look at girlfriend, point towards the doorway.
"Fan! We have a dude bang at the gate. He's some gal, and has a dog with him. He said be shouting for the doctor. "
Asya would add.
"He knows about us, Fanny. Him and his friend do look like they need help."
Fan would walk to where she left her staff at the door way.
"Asya, prep rooms one and five on the second floor. Greg, go to our room, grab my Med kit."
Asya would nod, however Greg would turn to his love, pulling her aside.
"Fan! You know I love ya, and trust ya, but you sure? How did they find out about us? This could be a trap. We just can't trust them."
"I know Greg, we're just playing this by year. However, I took an oath. Helping people is my job."
Fan would walk to the gates, staff and Ak-47 on her side. The Tall man with the girl and the dog would settle down.
"You're the Doctor, right?"
Calmly opening the gates, after padding them down, Fan welcomed them in. She knew she had to ask how the man knew about her and the group, but she felt it was a better idea to treat them.
"What are your names?"
"I'm Joe, The girl's name is Lia. We got into a car wreck. She took the brunt of it, you see? "
"Oh, I see. She as a small branch in her shoulder. Hard to miss. Okay Joe, to the Second floor but her in room one, then you go to room five."
"I'm no-"
Fan looked narrowly at the man.
"Room five. We clear, Joe?"
Joe looked at the woman, before moving his way inside the apartment.
