=We make it towards the hotel, and I decide to get a little bit curious=
So...What's she like...personality wise?
(Andrew)
=I blink a few times, furrowing my brow a bit=
Well...she's kind, sweet, and understanding.
=I give a small smile=
But she can be abrasive if you rub her the wrong way.
(Sarah)
=I grin like a little kid, unfazed by the fact=
Well...I just hope we can get along.
=I smile sweetly at Andrew=
(Andrew)
=I couldn't resist that damn smile of her's...Even twelve years removed, that still weakened me=
Guess Abernathy couldn't get rid of that smile...
=I then wheel into the hotel and head to the room, wondering what Mira would make of Sarah= | |

| "Guessing we're not to the point where we can shower together?" She asked. But her voice was joking, obviously not serious about it and klmerely making a joke.
Hibiki si'ghed. "Pigs." She said darkly towards some Raiders, as the twonlaughed over something. She looked to James. "Can we just kill them?" | |

| (James) "I'd rather not.....we're trying to be stealthy here. But if they find us then, well no skin off my teeth."
(Sam) "Heh, yeah." =I'll be honest. While I still loved Eve and hoped that somewhere down the line we really would be 'together'......she and I were still too distant in age. Yeah, we already crossed that barrier, sort of, and even agreed on some bits, but in all honesty I loved her more like a little sister than anything else. So the joke, while it truly was a joke, left me feeling a little uncomfortable=
*Dex* =He heard the walker, but was too busy climbing up to deal with it= "Ace, take it out. Quietly." | |

| *Rick* =The group soon reached a decent spot within sight of the Raider compound. Hidden behind several trucks along the road, they got a good look at the wall= "Okay, this side is way too defended. Hell, it's too hot here, e should head back."
(Sam) "Agreed. We move slowly though, so we don't attract any attention."
(James) "Come on, we need to get closer, see if we can find Sam's group. Remember, we're the backup." | |

| (James) =We kept on moving, avoiding the streets and the Raiders walking down them. Eventually, I spotted Sam and Eve, among two other men, crouched behind some trucks. We were too far away to actually talk and yelling was out of the question. So we simply watched=
(Sam) =I heard something over in the alley behind us, and I turned around shot gun raised. Standing there were two Raiders, one with a gun the other with a bow, both aimed at us= "Shit." | |

| (James) =I was about to agree with her, before I saw four more raiders pop up from the opposite side, and surround Sam and Eve's group= "Crap, we can't. There's too many, and if we start firing we risk hitting them."
=Man, did I hate what's was getting at. I was suggesting we do nothing, while our friend and our daughter faced raiders alone=
(Sam) =I heard the guys ganging up behind us, and we were soon surrounded= "Dammit....."
*Raiders* "Why don't you toss those toys to the ground and come with us ladies. We'll be sure to show you a good time."
(Sam) "Think I'd sooner blow my brains out with a shotgun."
*Raider* "Heh, you'll be blowing something alright." | |

| Eve let her arrow fly, nailing the perv right in the dick. "Next person to insinuate you will force my friend to fuck you in any way will learn a whole new meaning to arrow to the knee." Another arrows was knocked in less then a second.
Hibiki growled. "We can't leave them!" | |

| (James) =Hell, I was about to get up and run for them to help, before more of the raiders came down on them= "Fuck, there's nothing we can do!"
(Sam) =Sometimes, Eve's devotion to me was more curse than anything else. The minute the arrow flew and hit the guy in the dick, his buddies sprang into action, even as he went down screaming. The first one to attack fired an arrow of his own, hitting Rick in the shoulder. I wish I could have given him aid but...under fire and all. My shotgun roared, taking the guy with the arrow in the nuts right in the head. It literally exploded, but the moment was short lived. One of the raiders closed the distance to me, wielding a piece of rebar and knocked my gun from my hand, and then one of his buddies grabbed me, throwing me against the car while the guy with rebar went after the others=
*Rick* "FUCK!" =Even as he went down, he whipped out a pistol and fired off a shot. It missed though, and the guy with rebar swung the weapon down at his head. Everything went black for him=
*Max* "AHHH!!" =He charged the one with the rebar, tackling him to the ground. Then he felt something sharp, a white hot pain in his back, and coughed up blood. Another raider penetrated him with a makeshift spear, the tip bursting through his back and barely poking out of the skin of his chest= | |

I whip out my knife and take it out. I clean my blade and start climbing once Dex got to the top. I climb up the roof and whip off my rust crusted hands.

| Eve fucked up. But she was not letting anyone touch her or Sam. Arrowing another, she whipped out her knife and drove it into another's chest. As she pulled her pistol out, the rebar guy raised the...rebar.
Planting two in his chest, Eve finally felt something hit her head. Seeing stars, Eve went down. | |

"We need to get back to the compound. We can organize a rescue from there." =I placed a hand on Hibiki's shoulder=
"Come on Hibiki."
*Dex* =While crouched on the roof, he heard a sound, gunfire, and turned his head in its general direction. His hand went for his walkie= "Rick? Max? Anyone there? Anyone?"
*Voice over Walkie* "This is a very important person here. We have your friends with us, and will be entertaining them for now. Y'all have a nice day now." =Static crackled then from the walkie=
*Dex* "Shit....see anything Ace?"

"Ace, desperation can make people do extraordinary things, and can make them beyond violent. Right now these raiders are basically cornered animals, and you attack those kind of things with caution."
*Dex* "Listen, before we retreated I got a good look at their defenses, at least from two sides. Southern and south-west sides are the most defended, plus from what Rick's group were saying, they have the most patrols. Our side though had the least, and the walls were least defended, probably because that side faces the river, and there's very little chance of traffic."
(James) "So we hit them there. Ram the tank down their throats and pour in through the breach." | |

| =One of the Raiders knelt down by Sam, hand brushing away some of her hair so he could caress her cheek, and then did the same to Eve=
*Raider* "Looks like we're going to have fun boys. But first things first.....food, before pleasure." =Standing, he looked down at the dead form of Max=
"Tell them to get the grill ready." =Then they picked up the bodies, dead or unconscious, and carried them into the compound=
(James) =We got back to the compound, and I all but flew out of the car for the hotel= "Cooper! Cooper! We've got a situation!"
=Cooper must have been waiting for us, because he came running out of the lobby=
*Cooper* "What the hell happened? Where are my men?"
(James) "Raiders. They killed one of your men, and took three others. It's a hostage situation." | |
