Day 1- On a run
A van sits still running beside a deserted store as two figures leave, guns ready searching for food.

	"I still say, we strip it then we burn it out. Nothing can hide in it if it's not standing any more." India insisted (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Exactly, nothing...Including anyone who's left out there and trying to find us...what if they need this place?" Kara responded, checking the area, seeming almost casual, but as alert as she'd been the first day of the Rage crisis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Moving cautiously through the empty store, Alex's eyes swept over the place looking for food and possible supplies. He picked absently at the bandage under the sleeve of his right arm before moving into another section.
He turned sharply as he heard voices; the sound carrying easily through the empty otherwise soundless place; and tilted his head slightly to one side trying to work out the general direction the voices were coming from.

	Kara let out a low whistle, letting India know she'd heard something, and beginning to range left as India moved right. They were close to soundless and worked with easy grace as a team. Six months of losing people had made them good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The sudden quiet was deafening after hearing the voices, which just made Alex more on edge and cautious than he had been. He moved back into the shadows, placing a loose; almost reluctant; grip on the gun he carried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Another whistle bounced over from India, her side was clear. "Here zombie, zombie, zombie." Kara muttered under her breath. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex's eyes narrowed slightly as he spotted the figure moving in his direction and edged further backwards. As he did so, his foot connected with an empty can - the usually small noise, sounding incredibly loud to his ears and he swore softly under his breath. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kara heard the noise, but the sound echoed, but so did the swearing. The Infected rarely spoke. "We're clean." Kara ventured softly. "Scouts from the University project." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	india_johnas 2008-10-13 05:51 am UTC (link)
	India walked back on soft feet, taking the back of Kara's position. "You're hemmed, but if you're clean we don't want to hurt you/" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex quirked an eyebrow, keeping quiet for a beat before opening his mouth to talk. "University project?" He asked softly, still reluctant to move despite the reassurance of not wanting to hurt him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Survivors project, about five miles north." India continued. "Tiny, but free of Infected." She drew close enough to see him. "Lower your weapon please." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alex_mcewan 2008-10-13 06:31 am UTC (link)
	Alex tensed at the voice behind him, half turning so that his back was against a wall rather than empty space. "I'll lower it when I feel like it...or when you lower yours." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kara_williamson 2008-10-13 06:37 am UTC (link)
	"Or, you could concede to the fact that there's a woman with a gun at either end of the aisle and stop pissing about." Kara's voice was a drawl as she stepped into his view, the gun at her side. "Sorry Indie...not as good at the diplomatic talk as you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	india_johnas 2008-10-13 06:43 am UTC (link)
	India shrugged as she stepped forward, lowering her own gun. "Sometimes your way works better." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alex_mcewan 2008-10-13 07:00 am UTC (link)
	Alex's eyes flicked between the two of them before letting out a sigh and lowering the gun. "Fine. We happy now?" He quirked an eyebrow at them, glad of the shadows that hid the faint bruises still present on his face and neck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Slight overstatement, but now on one needs to get shot...I'm Kara, this is India." She indicated her friend with her free hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex raised an eyebrow at the name India being attached to the other woman but otherwise made no comment. "Alex," he supplied after a pause. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nice to meet you...anything here worth having?" India asked, her voice reverting to its usual softer tones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alex_mcewan 2008-10-13 07:57 am UTC (link)
	Alex shrugged, blinking slightly at the change in tone. "Depends what you're looking for." He said. "Food wise, not a great deal, most of it's off or already been taken." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kara_williamson 2008-10-13 08:01 am UTC (link)
	"Take him to the van." Kara asked India, already knowing what the answer would be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not leaving you...No one alone outside the safe zone." India insisted "Won't lose anyone else." She turned to Alex. "Which I suppose means welcome to the team." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alex_mcewan 2008-10-13 08:44 am UTC (link)
	"Riiight." Alex intoned dryly. "So, you're at the university? And it's free from infected?" He asked slowly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kara_williamson 2008-10-13 08:52 am UTC (link)
	"No...the place is huge, but there's a big enough section for us to live in." Kara explained. "When we're not busy we clear the place a little, gain a bit more every few weeks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alex_mcewan 2008-10-13 09:10 am UTC (link)
	Alex nodded, taking the information in. "And how many of you are there?" He asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	india_johnas 2008-10-13 09:32 am UTC (link)
	"Not enough." The response came from India. "Sal at base and us out here. Never enough." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
