Susan had been on her way to bed, intending to simply crash as she was, too tired to think about much beside that. Her steps paused in the hall though as she heard a noise. That had sounded like ... breaking glass.

Easing an arrow from her quiver, she fitted it to the bow as she started slowly down the hall. Fighting in tight quarters like this was far from ideal, but she would do the best she could. She wasn't certain what room the noise had come from, so she stood in the hallway, listening. She heard grunts and noises that she could only describe as primal, and she shuddered, her exhaustion all but forgotten. When the door - her door - burst open, Susan didn't even have time to scream. She fired one arrow very accurately, and very soundly, but before she had time to even draw the second arrow, they were on her ...

Lily had slept like the dead that night, though when she woke - early - she had vague recollections of ... breaking glass and thumps. Dreams, she supposed, inspired by one of the many fears playing chase in her mind. She'd checked the network before even getting out of bed, but there were no updates she hadn't seen. She showered, she dressed, and she stepped into the hallway. She froze before her foot even crossed the threshold. Something was wrong.

Leaning forward, sticking her head out the door, she peered down the hall. First toward the end closer to her, the end with the infirmary, and then toward the other end. She clamped her hands over her mouth to trap the scream as she saw the mangled body at the end of the hallway. She recognized the girl by the bow broken over her middle, and Lily stumbled back into her room, slamming the door closed.

For a moment, there was panic. Only panic. Simply panic. The blind animal instinct to run, run far from daner before her humanity reasserted itself and she tried to think. She did the only thing that made sense just then. Reaching for her Blackberry, Lily marked the post urgent and sent only three words, broadcast to the network:

They got in

Jake, Oy, Open

While he'd wanted to put the bumbler in the safe room, he knew Oy would have none of it. So Jake kept the bumbler with him, and both of them were awakened by the keen buzzing tweeting noise of their device. Jake had read about the 'urgent' option, and he looked at the trio of words on the screen.

Fortunately, he'd found extra ammunition on the kitchen table (of all places) the night prior, so he thought he'd do just fine, if they came across anything.

"If I told you to stay here, would you?"

The bumbler gave him a withering look, and Jake had to grin a little, despite the situation. "All right. Be careful," he said before he pressed his ear to the door. He listened, his eyes half closing as he focused on the sounds, the vibrations. There was something above them, and he glanced up as if he could see through the floor - which he couldn't, of course. Oy was glancing up as well, his teeth bared as his lip curled back.

Jake eased open the door of his room and eased out into the hall. Just a few doors down were the safe rooms, and he glanced that direction first. If it hadn't been for Oy's shrill cry, he would very nearly have met a nasty end.

Jake ducked back as the blade swung down, a hiss escaping him even as he lifted Roland's gun, firing only twice, once through each of the reaver's eyes. At this close range, with his skill honed and ready as it was, a miss was simply out of the question.

The creature fell, and Jake had a moment to wonder what to do with the bodies before he was aware of a noise further down the hall, away from the saferooms. In the stairwell, maybe? He wanted to check the doors of the rooms to the right, but they were closed, presumably locked.

Deciding to take the chance, he glanced down to Oy before he jerked his head toward the two empty rooms between his and the saferoom. Oy nodded and went to sniff under the doors even as Jake started to move down the hall toward the stairwell.

Gwen had her gun in hand as she crept along the hallway, one eye always open in case Jack was able to locate her. That was when she spotted what appeared to be a teen boy and his pet (at least she thinks its a pet). She signaled to the boy she was harmless in spite of the gun as she fire off a pair of rounds into a second set of Reavers that had decided to follow her, sending them flying into the wall and left very dead via one more blast of bullets.

Jack's gun training had paid off in spades this time around and it showed.

She asked the kid in hopes he may have seen Jack,"You see a guy about my age in a WW2 coat around? He's armed too" hoping she was not scaring him with her gun.

Gwen knew she had to help, especially since he looked pretty young.
