Surviving the end - A way out [IC]

Michael whipped around and aimed his M4 at the man's head. "God damn it you'd think for a wasteland it'd be a little less crowded!"

Daniel felt his heart jump. "Please, don't... Please," Daniel moaned, dropping to his knees.

Michael lowered his M4 and approached the man. "Get up, kid. We have to leave"

Michael lowered his M4 and approached the man. "Get up, kid. We have to leave"

Daniel felt hope ignite like a flame inside his heart. He jumped up, and smiled. The pressure had collapsed on Daniel; he couldn't take it. He was better, now. He felt safe. Well, until the hundreds of zombified screeches and gags erupted from the end of the hallway, the sounds seeming to become closer each time. "I'm way ahead of ya'," Daniel said, racing down the hall, presumably to the other stairwell.

Michael followed him, but soon jumped in front of him to lead him. He fired at Walkers, also bashing in their heads as they proceeded to the exit. "HOP IN!" Michael yelled as he hopped into the drivers side and started the Humvee.

Daniel threw his body into the car, slamming his head on the window, which ended up hurting a lot more than he imagined. He closed the car door in the nick-of-time; the walkers smashed their heads up against the car-window.

Michael hit the gas, sending up a cloud of smoke before crashing through Walkers, crushing them under the Humvee. "Blackjack, hit the deck!". The other soldiers sat down in the back seat and wiped his forehead, not speaking of the man.

As they drove to the Zoo to meet the man, Michael turned to the man beside him. "We're heading to the Franklin Park Zoo, then to the Fenway Park Refugee Center. What's your name?"

Daniel still was gasping for air. "Uh... Uh... Dan... Daniel. It's Daniel." He sat in quiet for a moment, and then said," Want some fat-cakes?" He emptied his bag of the delicious treats, already helping himself to one of them.

Daniel chuckled a bit, amazed at the sound that had escaped his mouth. He smiled, and threw one back Blackjack. "So... What's your story? Family, friends--where...uh...are they...?"

"Well... my family... they were at a refugee camp in New York City before it was bombed... not sure if they're alive... what about you?"

"Well... my family... they were at a refugee camp in New York City before it was bombed... not sure if they're alive... what about you?"

Daniel held his wife's necklace in his hand. "Well. My wife was five months pregnant, and... A few days ago she was bit. I tried to help, but... But she was a goner," Daniel said, his eyes glowing.

Michael didn't respond. He didn't want to say he was sorry, because that'd make him feel worse. "We're here" said Michael as they stopped at the entrance to Franklin Park's Zoo.

Daniel glanced upward, and saw the massive facade to Zoo, something he hadn't expected. "Wow... Uh... This is really large," Daniel said, while fiddling with the door.

"Stay inside" Michael said as he left the Humvee to look around. He then got on the channel and spoke. "Hello, this is Sergeant Wolf. We are at the rendezvous point, over?"

Azad noticed the kid, he wasn't really suprised to see another unfamiliar face here. He took a look out of the window only to notice a huge crowd of walkers, "Shit, the kid is right, lets get out of here!" he said to Yury.
Azad couldn't handle this lazy stuff at the hands of death and so he started to walk out of the room, "I'm in the car if you need me."
Yury took a look at the kid, "So, are you coming?"

"Yeah." The pain was like a white-hot rod of iron jammed into his thigh. "This may seem like a strange question, but you haven't got any morphine, have you?" Then he collapsed against a wall. "Ooh, that's not good. Who turned on all those lights?" He just barely managed to keep his feet and stumble after the group.

Thankfully, the woman decided not to shoot them with her arrows. However, things were moving a bit too fast for him now. First, there were the two military people. Then, there was another shot, and ANOTHER man who the military shot at and got angry at, for some reason, and now there's another person. Next, they heard about the soldier's refugee camp, which got overrun. Now there's at least two different cars that two different people want everyone to get into.

"Fuck this shit,"said Theodore."Let's just get out of this place. I'm getting in with Dom. Where are we meeting up at?"

[Palonitr and Howland]

The Zoo
Dom had sped through the hode the was closing in them and took a short cut in order to catch up with the humvee. Once he spotted the zoo, Dom slowed down and drove around until he found the humvee and with the the rest ofthe group milling around. He got out of the car and then took out his duffel bag full of meds.

"Alright where's that kid thats injured. I got meds here. Anyone else injured? I got a feeling that this will be ine of our last pit stops so if you wanna get patched up. Now's the time!"

Dom proceeded to take out his gun and stood watch. He watched out for looters and another horde.

Noah crouched on the roof of a building near Harvard, observing the group he saw below. They seemed alright, but he knew that that could change in an instant.
Noah had gone to his uncle's house, and found it empty and long since looted. He was headed to the man's office at the university when he spotted the group. He decided it was best not to jump right in. The group of armed people could have been a looting gang or some cult for all he knew. Noah decided the best idea was to observe for the time being, and make a decision later.

The Car needed a little oil, which started to become scarce. His car was virtually trash, as all the window's were broke, and one door half way tore off. He also needed some food. He looked around, and saw a town. It seemed to have a small wall around it. On the wall, was guards. Isaac got back in his car, and pulled up to it.
Isaac stuck his head out of his window.
"Hey! I saw your wall, and I was going to ask if I cou-"-Isaac
He was interrupted by them throwing a bag down.
"Now, get the hell out of here you beggar!"-Guard
Isaac got out, and picked the bag up, and got in the car. It had a little gas, some oil, and 2 Rationpacks and a bottle of water. One guard then fired on the car.
Isaac backed out, and drove off. He had to avoid those large cities, incase they were infected.

Theodore sat in the back of Dom's car and felt relieved when he saw the zoo and the humvee parked outside the gate. Safety in numbers and all that, things are a bit messy right now, but when we've got to a safer place, we'll see if we can elect a leader of our group or something. Theodore got out of the car and walked up to the one of the military guys.

"Uh, what exactly are we doing over here? We shouldn't really stay in Boston any longer, there's another horde coming our way..."

[Maharo]

"Wait, you already raided the store? Well we were in a hurry so we forgot to loot the place" Apolinario said, stroking his hair. He tried to catch the hershey's but failed. "Damn. That was bad" Apolinario thought to himself. Harald then picked up the chocolate bar and handed it to him. "Thanks" Apolinario said, taking the chocolate from Harald. He then took off the cover and took out a bite. "Well, it's been 2 weeks without people beside until today" Apolinario said. "Oh, that truck" Apolinario said. He then saw the driver of the truck get out and take cover behind his truck. Apolinario instinctively pulled his desert eagle. "Yeah, sure" Apolinario said to Harald though he was more concerned about the man behind the truck. Just registering what Harald told him, he took a few glances at the girl.

When he heard the man speaking, he loosened his grip on his gun. He saw Atlas and paid no attention to him. He heard Harald introduce him. "Hey there" Apolinario said, putting his gun back to his hip and took a bite out of his almost done chocolate bar. Apolinario laughed a little when he heard Lily's remark about the number of people there were. "She's right, you know" Apolinario said after hearing what Lily said. "I was!" Apolinario said, raising his voice.

He was surprised at what Lily said. "That's the most sadistic thing I've ever heard someone say"Apolinario said with a shocked expression on his face. "Wait, you have Katanas!?" Apolinario yelled with excitement. "Screw this!" Apolinario said as he stuffed his bloody hatchet into the pocket of his bag. "Well, Lily's right. If we're gonna live we might as well move. Does anyone have a suggestion besides going inside the city? If not then that's our destination" Apolinario said, putting his bag behind him. "I'm just gonna get my motorcycle" Apolinario said. He then took off to get his motorcycle which was near where Atlas was standing.

"I raided the candy section, anyway" It looked like there may have even been a little smile from Lily at her comment. "I raided it while you guys were distracted with talking to each other outside. It was easy, really. You guys might want to learn to be more aware of your surroundings if you expect to live for long" She said, saying it to him as if she was giving him advice. Since adults tended to tell children what to do or gave them advice instead, it could be very easy for an adult to feel...off put by a child giving them advice like that. At least, she knew a lot of parents or adults loved telling children what to do or that they were wrong about something, but hated it when they told them what to do back, because adults loved to be hypocrites. Because you weren't supposed to "talk back to adults" but it was fine to talk back to your kids. She never got that.

"Looks better to me" Lily said, glancing at the mans bayonet, then to Harald. "I wasn't referring to anyone specific" She said in response to his comment about him not shooting everything he saw. That was all she said on those subjects.

As Apolinario said that what she had said was the most sadistic thing he had ever heard someone say, Lily found herself grinning in response, like she thought of that as some sort of compliment. "I could be even more sadistic if you want" She said casually, really seeming awful calm about the subject of sounding sadistic. "Shouldn't we be leaving the city instead of heading farther into it? The forests and whatnot are safer than in the city. But if you all have like, a death wish or something, go on right ahead, I have no reason to stop you" She said, shrugging her shoulders lightly.

"Uh, what exactly are we doing over here? We shouldn't really stay in Boston any longer, there's another horde coming our way..."

Michael kept his gaze to his surroundings. "We're waiting for a man and a young child to meet us here, then we're going to Fenway Park to see the situation"

"Sorry kid, no morphine here" Yury said as he noticed the shotwound, "We may have some painkillers" he added as he picked up the injured boy. "I'll give it to you in the car, we need to go now" he continued as he took him to the car where Azad waited.
Once in the car Yury gave the kid some painkillers while Azad drove off quickly, "What's the issue back there?" Azad asked at some point, "He's been shot" Yury replied.
"Alright, lets find a house somewhere, then i can take a look at it" Azad said as he searched around for a house that looked safe.
Somewhere on Clifton Street Azad stopped, "Lets get him in here, quickly" he said not knowing what the situation was on the kid. Once inside Azad started to check the rooms. Upstairs he heard a noise, which came from a walker for sure. Azad pushed open the door where he noticed the walker, a once young woman he figured. He held his baseballbat high and slammed it right into head of this thing, making it fall onto the ground. Yury had taken the kid inside in the meanwhile and he had got all the stuff out of the car. Azad had never done anything on the medical field before but he had watched when local people tried to operate his brother who eventually died from the bulletwound. With that bit of knowledge he had to try.
In the kitchen he got himself some alcohol and some knives that would do. He then turned to Yury and the kid, "Alright, Yury, hold him down; kid, this will hurt, but its for your own good, remember that" he said. Yury pinned down the kid while Azad started to pour the alcohol over the wound.
He then followed by cutting the wound up a bit bigger to search for the bullet, which actually wasn't hard to find. He got it out in some 10 minutes of work. At last he closed the wound with a stapler, which was the best they had.
After the whole surgery they laid the kid in a bed upstairs, Azad went to sleep on the couch and Yury held watch for the rest of the day.

Harald had now gotten used to Lily and her sass. "The forests are probably still full of deer and other food on legs. I think it's our best bet," he said nodding in approval to the little girls comment. He was off put by the fact she enjoyed being sadistic. "Well aren't you neurotic." Harald murmured beneath his breath. He glanced towards Apolinario and Atlas, silently praying their motorcycles were quiet. "By the way I plan to live a while longer. How long you plan to live off candy?" He smirked on his last comment although he felt weird for back chatting a little girl.

[Maharo]

Apolinario heard what Lily said and laughed. "Don't sass us sister" Apolinario said in a playful tone. "Oi, it wasn't my idea to go further in. It was Harald's" Apolinario said, looking back at the people behind him. After he reached his motorcycle. He gave a cold stare at Atlas. After a few seconds he took out his hatchet and handed it to Atlas. "You might as well have a melee weapon" Apolinario said, holding the bloody hatchet.
