Back to base
The University still stands huge and imposing, it's halted building work torn apart to help with fortifications.
Inside there is a large open space, where can foods clothing and medical supplies stand stacked not far away from a huge noisy generator.
Upstairs sits an old media centre from which the broadcast flows.
Some precious electricity is given over to an old CD player, playing constantly in an attempt to drown out the noise.

	"Well, he kind of is." India responded, sharply aware of Sally's response. Her friend didn't see the good in everyone, "OK for you too Alex, canned carrots with ours." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mm?" Alex blinked in confusion and glanced at Inia; having not been paying much attention to what was being said around him. "Umm...oh...sure" He muttered with a shrug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DP hesitated, then, a bit shyly, offered, "...if there's a place I can set up a flame, I can make bannocks. ...I've a bit of honey, to go with." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That would be great." Sally said, smiling crookedly. "Need help? As an apology for being an arse?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He hesitated a moment, then, finally, left his post by the door, Snap following silently a few steps behind. Shrugging his pack off his shoulder, DP unzipped the top of it, and pulled out a tennis ball. "...show me where to set up the fire and then keep Snap out of the bannocks until they're cooked?" He offered her the ball.

Snap's tail came up at the sight of the worn, green sphere, and he began to wag, front feet prancing in place with delight, his broad jaws gaping in a delighted grin. DP smiled at him, then glanced at the others. "...if you don't mind?"

	"The place is running, that's me done." Sally smiled lightly, taking the ball. "Come on boys." She walked away from the rest of the group. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	India watched Sally leave, and Kara migrate over to the gun rack. "So, spill?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex watched the others leave before frowning as India spoke. He turned to look at her, blinking in confusion. "What?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex stiffened, his hand unconsciously going to his neck and he swallowed thickly. He lowered his gaze, lips pressed into a thin line, not answering her but not denying it either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It won't happen here...I won't let it." India's tone was set. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex snorted and pinched the bridge of his nose, before running both hands through his hair. He raised his head slightly, frowning at her. "You don't even know why." He pointed out flatly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex instantly seemed to close off. His expression becoming void of emotion, his eyes becoming distant and his whole body going rigid. After a long uncomfortable silence he eventually spoke, his voice as emotionless as his expression and gaze firmly fixed on the far wall. "They didn't like my attitude."

	"My parents provided the financial backing for the group that released the apes..." India said softly. "I could have stopped this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: The meet 'n' greet alex_mcewan 2008-10-16 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	Alex closed his eyes briefly and let out a small shuddering breath. "Why are you telling me?" He asked, his tone still very much emotionless nd detached. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: The meet 'n' greet india_johnas 2008-10-16 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Because I doubted you'd hear me." India said shakily, turning to walk away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alex rubbed a hand through his hair, ruffling it and making it stick up in all different directions. He glanced up, watching her start to walk away before opening his mouth to speak again. "It still would've gotten out." He murmured. "I mean, the animal activists would've found some other means of finance." He added, his hand going to his throat briefly and gave a slight wince. He hadn't spoken this much for a while and it was starting to make his throat hurt.

He gave a small shake of his head, unsure why he was trying to reassure her. He could have told her the truth but despite her words, he didn't fancy being lynched again.

	"Excuse me if I choose to be incredibly skeptical about that," Alex said dryly, eyeing her with a half suspicious, half confused expression upon his face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ahh, no, I'm pretty certain I shouldn't," Alex replied in a curt tone, his eyes flicking around the room again, running a hand through his hair. "I'm not planning on staying anyway...made that mistake once, won't do it again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Or, you could trust us...we need someone with medical knowledge." India said in her soft voice. "You don't know us, and you've been through something...I'll be willing to listen if you'll be willing to tell." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: The meet 'n' greet alex_mcewan 2008-10-17 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	Alex frowned at her. "Medical knowledge? What makes you think I can help there?" He quirked an eyebrow at her. "Yes, I don't know you...and you don't know me." He sighed and ran a hand down his face, before adding in a flat, short tone. "I'm not willing to tell." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
