((oliver isn't using a M16 he's using a TAR

Shane continued crouching along.he didn't recognize the voice so he didn't dare follow it he continued along his course whispering into his throat mic. "I dont think that we will get any trouble from the punk who shot me....if anybody calls for help from inside the sewer,don't answer.who besides us would be in the sewer in the first place."He had his talkie synched to Rayde's sending her the message privately.

Shane continued creeping along the sewer tunnel up behind the crying man.He kicked him into the back so that he was laying face down on the floor and put his feet on the man's arms."Who are you what do you want?" He said harshly.he thought it was another ruse by oliver and was not about to be swayed easily.He glared into the back of the man's head Rayde's MP5 pointed at the man so that he could shoot and kill him in a moment's notice.

"Leave the way you came.take your chances.theres no where thats safe."Shane said and backed up off the guy walking away his back against the wall sidling along his weapon still pointed at the stranger.He went into the darkness turning the bend in the sewer tunnel and went through some wider side tunnels deliberately changing his course incase the stranger attempted to follow him.He through some so small he had to crawl through.

((Grammar warning one, work on your grammar, your posts lately haven't been good when it comes to grammar))

Andre monitored the sewers from the switchboard at the control center, but his mind wasn't really into it, unless they clogged a pipe, he wasn't going to know where the others were. He thought for a moment, that punk who he had shot probably had friends in LA, he'd seen cars driving around while he was in the attic at the house he had been staying in...He thought for a moment, there were few places that would be able to support a gang without drawing attention from the infected..he smiled, an idea coming to his head, he could just go the same way he did earlier. Andre left the center and got onto his Motorcycle and went back to the house that had been lit on fire, he found the tire tracks leading away from the house and drove after them..

((yah but if he got inside a car the blood trail would disappear))

Andre stopped the motorcycle when he spotted the car and the end of the tracks. He pulled his Glock out and walked over to the shack and kicked the door in, he looked around, nothing... he walked back out and looked around, then he spotted it, a hatched entrance to go underground. Andre thought for a moment, he could go down there...but if they knew he was there, they could just shoot him as soon as he went in...Andre though for a moment then smiled. He popped the hatch open then walked over to his motorcycle and pulled out a plastic satchel. He popped the gas intake on the cycle open and drained all of the gasoline into the plastic satchel. He walked over to the hatch and poured a bit of gasoline down on the floor of the entrance, then tossed the whole satchel down. Andre lit a joint and took a puff on it, then tossed the joint down and closed the hatch before the lit joint hit the gasoline and set it alight, causing a moderate sized explosion..

Rayde awoke with a start, her shift had ended hours earlier and it was the middle of Nilla's shift when she heard over her headset "I dont think that we will get any trouble from the punk who shot me....if anybody calls for help from inside the sewer,don't answer.who besides us would be in the sewer in the first place." It was Shane's voice. SHe so badly wanted to answer but she knew she had to stay silent. She had heard movement in the sewers and didn't care at this point if it was living or dead, her primary concern was the people in this room. SHe hadn't planned on hailing anyone down anyways not with a killer on the loose.

Rayde spoke ever so quietly, "Nilla? you still there?" The room was pitch black. It had to be so that it would look like any other room down here in the sewers.

Rayde crawled over to Nilla's spot by the door, feeling around with her hands until she found the girl's bare feet. Nilla jumped with surprise. Rayde sat down next to her against the barred door. "Hey hun, how you holding up?" Rayde asked her. Rayde felt how cold the girl was and grabbed her nearby blanket and wrapped Nilla up tight to keep her warm. "Hey, did you mean what you were saying earlier about why we are fighting? I understand that this has got to be confusing for you right now but trust me when we get back to civilization you'll understand. There are some kinds of civilization out there, my family and I had a small enclave up in Alaska in an old oil rig off shore that we had converted to be hospitable. We had saved about forty people and moved them to that oil rig before we started running out of supplies. My brother, Charlie, you remmeber him, led the groups out to find supplies. My Sister Rebbecca, you didn't know her she died when we found you, kept the water purifiers running, and I kept everything safe on the defensive side, stopping raiders like this b*****d that's hunting us now." Rayde started tearing up a bit. It was hard remembering her family, it hurt.

Rayde didn't know why she was talking like this to this girl, but she just felt she had to. "I've seen too many of the people close to me die to give up hope that there are other groups out there like the one my family and I had started. I sometimes wonder if its worth it and then I look at you guys, the rest of you survivors and it gives me hope that maybe we'll be okay, maybe we'll make it somewhere and live life like it should be lived. When you started feeling lost and hopeless it really makes it hard. I need you to hang in there, we're going to make it, we've been through to much to just die like the rest." Rayde started thinking about her brother and sister again and teared up. She missed her family horribly, they had been the only thing that got her through her husbands death and the death of her parents and friends. Rayde had seen too much to hold it back anymore. She began to softly sob as she laid against the door with Nilla looking on. Rayde missed the rest of her group here in California, she missed Shane's sense of humor, and Andre's logic. Hopefully they'd all make it out of here safe and that b*****d who shot her brother wouldn't.
Wit hthat final thought Rayde succumbed to her feelings as a wave of emotion hit her like a tsunami. She slumped down with her face in her hands and just thought about everything that had happened, what she could have done differently, and what she was going to do....
