► Gillian carried on, hardly being able to hear the boy over his own breaths and his own running. When he was far away enough, he slowed into a walk until he stopped in a quieter, more closed away space. He thought he could hear rustling and walking, but it was probably his mind playing tricks.

xxxSitting for a while, the man bit his lip, wondering where the girl might go. The city came to mind first, with how close it was and simply how large the place was, but he wasn't sure if she would go on that sort of trek just for medical supplies. It wasn't usual for her. He wanted to try it, but it might have been suicide.

xxxA couple of hours or so had past, and the older man had since started walking again, his fragile frame casting an even thinner-looking shadow against the floor as he strode across the desolate land. Without realising, he may even have been mumbling aloud, trying to figure out where he would go. Suicide or not, he was armed and knew how to use the weapon with ease. Surely it'd be easier than what he was telling himself. He had experience and shouldn't have lost someone for trusting them.

xxxStarting to walk more accurately in the direction of the city, he frowned to himself and made himself another cigarette, speeding up again into a quicker pace as he smoked, taking short but more frequent drags on the cigarette posed between his delicate fingers. He almost kept thinking he could see silhouettes in the distance, though he may have just been confusing himself. He was eager to catch the girl, and would try to follow her as best he could even though she would have an advantage in that she was further away from him now, unless she set herself a camp somewhere. He kept his gun up and ready in one hand, in case a zombie appeared or even if Troy re-appeared. He ran himself into fatigue, trying to close in the distance between him and the city as he attempted to find her.

♣ Jayce chuckled, finding comfort in his shared sense of humor with Levi. He was worried at how startled Levi looked when he asked about a car, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what a car is." Jayce teased sarcastically at Levi's rhetorical question, tacking a smile on the end of his sentence.
"Do you really think cops are going to pull me over for not having a license out here?" Jayce laughed, gesturing to the empty streets of the once beloved New York City.

"I'm a good driver," Jayce retorted with a chuckle to Levi's remark about a car accident, "You get practice in when there's no one here to tell you you shouldn't be driving." He shrugged.
"It's not that I have anywhere to go, a car just gives you an option." He added. Jayce knew full well there was no where else for him to go. His family was dead, he didn't make any friends with his constant moving. Maybe having a car was just what was familiar to him. Traveling constantly and not needing to stay in one place too long.

♠ Troy's feet pounded against the solid ground as she raced down the path to where she kept the car she'd arrived it. She had found it in the city many years ago though CRUCIAL had forced her to get rid of it to join their ranks, unaware that she'd stored it away. The red Prius car was stashed beneath some branches and Troy slowed her pace, beginning to throw branches wildly to free the car. She fumbled for the keys, buried deep within her pocket and slid into the driver's seat. She sat for a moment, allowing the silence to envelop her as she thought deeply about what she was doing. She'd never fully measured the impact of abandoning her brother. She was the only one he had left but she knew this was what was good for her.

The engine started eagerly and she pulled out from her spot within the woods, onto the winding road that headed down through the mountains and back to the city. The city was only about a two hour drive from CRUCIAL, something many of the survivors didn't know or else they would have made their way up there already. She contemplated what she'd do with her knowledge of CRUCIAL. She'd been one of them for so many years she wondered if releasing all their information on the vaccine was moral. Morals were hardly in question anymore though, so many good people doing bad things.

Lost in thought, she pulled herself from her mind and brought her attention back to the road. Suddenly, the figure of a man appeared before her and she noticed an exhausted Gillian in the middle of the road. She slammed on the brakes, the car coming to a screeching stop feet away from the man. Troy's heart pounded in her chest, rage filling her as she met eyes with the man, eyeing the gun in his hand. She panted, her car at a stand still in front of him, Troy staring unmoving at Gillian.

► The man noticed the car, though it didn't phase that it was coming towards him. He nearly didn't even register it, before flinching slightly as it stopped in front of him. He quickly made for his gun and pointed it straight at the girl, readying it in case she planned to leave anywhere. "Get out of the car, girl." he said, his voice quivering as he breathed heavily, smoke forcing itself out from his cracking lips as a cigarette, again, lay comfortably within the older man's mouth. His voice made it almost sound like he was flirting with her, but his demeanour and facial expression contrasted that greatly.

xxxHe wanted to ask what she was doing, but desperately waved the gun at her, staring her down and even daring himself to take a step towards the car. "Get out." he said , more threateningly than the last comment; he narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brow a little, glaring coldly at her. He didn't dare move, but knew he might be hit if she wanted to do that. Gillian tried to get his breath back, trying to breathe evenly as he kept staring her down, watching her movements closely and readying himself in case something happened.

♠ Troy hesitated, staring down the barrel of Gillian's gun as it was point straight for her. She wondered for a moment whether she should just continue, risk being shot but have a chance for freedom, or keep her life. She pulled the keys from the ignition, silencing her car and slinging her bag over his shoulder, opening the door of the car. She stepped from the driver's seat carefully, standing tall beside the car with her hands over her head, warning Gillian not to shoot.

"I just want to get to the city, Gillian." She called to him carefully, wary of the gun the man still held in his hands. She could sense a nervousness about him but Troy was no match anyway, adrenaline rushing as she stood before the man. She didn't know whether or not he was holding her here for her own good, or because he was protective of the vaccine they were cooking up in the CRUCIAL labs. Whatever it was, she wanted no part.
"I won't speak of word of the vaccine." Troy added, her voice quivering as she attempted to persuade the man.

► Gillian stared her down, licking his lips quickly as he took out the cigarette and dropped it to the floor. He kept his gun on her, watching her carefully. He had seriously thought she was going to hit him, and couldn't really process that she had stepped out.
xxx"Why do you want to be in the city?" He asked, scowling a little as he did. Suddenly, he changed. His mindset seemed to spontaneously switch, as he tried to process how she was feeling. He could see she was anxious, and bit his lip.

xxx Gillian walked nonchalantly over to her, trying to change his demeanour as he waited for an answer, biting the inside of his lower lip gently. He stood by her and pressed her nearer to the car, almost standing over her as he pressed her delicately against it, moving close. "What's so wrong with where you are now? You're cared for, and you're important," he commented, almost muttering in her ear. He tried to put on a 'lighter' tone, leaning carefully on the car though his gun was still readied in his hand.

xxx"Tell me, dear, why you want to be in the city." the man repeated, watching her closely and trying to keep his focus directed to her eyes.

♠ Troy said nothing at his initial question, her body trembling as she listened to the words rolling off of his tongue. She stifled a breath as he stepped closer, backing her against the car. She shook nervously, her breathing coming rapid as she felt his body against her. A wave of discomfort and fear washed over her though she did her best to conceal it.
"I can take care of myself, I don't need you." Her voice was rough as she growled to her, clenching her teeth. She dropped her hands against the car, one fist balling up the end of her jacket.

"I just," Troy's voice wavered as she spoke, "I need to go." Her tone became increasingly more demanding. She met his eyes but only for an instant, his gaze like ice as he continued to stare at her. She listened as his voice softened, speaking to her gently but she could detect the forced undertones. She brought her hand began her back, silently wrapping her fingers around the knife in the back of her belt.

●● Levi blew out a breath and sighed. Even his amusement was dull now. He glanced toward the street when it was gestured to him and sighed once more and shook his head. "Yeah..." rubbing the back of his own neck. He wasn't interested in letting this kid leave but then again he wasn't this kids authority. He had no say in what he did.

Reluctantly he finally answered. "Yeah. I have one or I can hot wire one..." He answered sitting up and then standing. "Come on..." He said before jumping down from the top of the crate looking around before up at him and then around watching out for any zombies who caught wind.

► The man snickered a little at the statement, grinning and running his tongue along his top, front row of teeth, lowering it back into his mouth as it slid over his canines. "Don't get difficult, girl. I want to know why." Gillian almost growled at the last word, turning his body and standing over her, forcing her even more against the car and holding up the gun to her gut, resting his other hand on the car to keep himself from falling on her as he glared into her eyes, almost smirking at her discomfort as if he got some sort of sick pleasure out of seeing her visibly uncomfortable with him so much as speaking to her.

xxxHe glanced down at her waist, watching her arm. He braced himself for what she might do, sucking in his stomach slightly and steadying his breathing, the arm holding onto his gun trembling slightly with adrenaline. Becoming more desperate, he jabbed the gun into her side impatiently, raising his eyebrows and growling a short 'why?' at her, though his accent turned thick as he mumbled it and turned it into more of a snarl for her to stop moving. A distraction, even.


xxx► [ AHH I'm so happy that you like him I think omg??? ?? He is such a creep though I'm so sorry for Troy
but bWAH I keep having to pause too it's making me so giddy? I literally love this so far and I envy your writing skill because Troy is a gorgeous character omg]

♣ Jayce noticed an instant change in Levi demeanor though a tinge of excitement hit him as soon as the boy mentioned hot wiring a car, "You know how to do that?" Jayce spoke excitedly. He could pick his fair share of locks and new some survival hacks from YouTube videos he watched but past that he knew little to nothing. He has many more physical capabilities and quick thinking though his technical skills lacked.

Jayce leapt down from the crates, following in Levi's footsteps as the two made their way down the street. Jayce checked his surroundings carefully, no zombies in sight at the moment but he kept his hand on the knife he kept in the lining of his belt.
"You can come with me you know." Jayce's voice was soft as he looked to Levi. He couldn't help but wonder if that's why his attitude had changed suddenly. Jayce never minded the independence but he knew others could stand to see a friendly face from time to time.
