♠ Troy let out a shriek as the gun fired, a bullet piercing her leg. She hit the ground with a steady thud, grasping her leg in panic, blood pooling in her hands that trembled. Her breathing quivered and her gaze instantly flickered to Gillian who looked just as stunned as she was, sweat dripping down her face. She made no motion to say anything to him, tearing the sleeve on her jacket instantly and tying it securely on the wound to stop the bleeding.

She looked up to him again, pain evident on her face as her hand shook, holding her wound, "Get me back to the warehouse," She snapped at Gillian, her voice wavering, thick with strain, "I need my medical supplies." Her voice was low as she gasped for air, the burn of the injury creeping up her leg. She allowed herself to breathe, knowing the warehouse wasn't far from where they were on the road, but walking there would be agony.

► Staring forward in disbelief, Gillian flinched as the girl shrieked and gazed at the injured leg. He snapped his neck up to look at her as she spoke, then almost turned to leave her alone. Realising he needed her, the man moved himself over awkwardly and held onto her waist, walking her to the passenger's side of the car; it hadn't clicked that only minutes ago he was urging her not to be in it.

xxx"Which pocket is your keys in?" he asked hurriedly, opening the passenger side door for her but gazing at her pockets, gesturing towards them. He had no idea how to react, and no time to either. He wanted to laugh in her face and push her to the floor and shoot her again, but he needed to think of a way to counter what he had done to her to try and encourage her back onto his 'side'. However, that didn't totally matter right now.

♠ Troy rifled in her pocket for her keys, not willing to let the man dig in her pockets. She tossed them to him and braced herself against him, moving cautiously to the passenger seat of the car. She slid in carefully, letting out a quick sigh of pain as she sat, slamming the door behind her and pressing her head against the head rest, shutting her eyes and trying to calm herself.

Lucky for Gillian, she wouldn't be going anywhere again anytime soon with a bullet wound in her leg. Anger pooled inside her and all she could feel was rage as she clenched her fists, her mind buzzing with all the different ways she wanted to carve up the man. Her thoughts flickered back to River who was probably back at the warehouse, unaware of the threat Gillian now possessed to the two. She could have driven from here. Sucked up the pain, made it to the city, and gathered supplies, but she needed to go back for him after Gillian displayed his villainous side.

► Gillian bit his lip as he took the keys and got into the driver's seat, starting up the car and taking them back himself. He parked it near the warehouse, so that it wouldn't be such a walk for Troy. He got out of the car, smirking to himself as he started to calm down. He shifted slyly over to the passenger's side, shoving the keys into his jeans pocket, and opened the door for Troy, leaning down for her to use as a support if she wanted, whilst making sure she had enough room to get herself out.

xxxAs he waited for her to get out, he glanced over the roof of the car and to the warehouse, looking to one end of the building where the entrance would be and biting his lower lip. At the same time, he knew she still had a knife on her, and wanted to keep his distance in case she did any real damage with it. He figured he'd probably have to either sweet-talk the girl and delay how long it'd take her to attack him, or force the knife off her while she was injured.

♠♦ River lifted his head at the sound of tires on the gravel outside of the warehouse, his attention instantly on the car that had pulled up. He recognized his sister's car, unsure of why she'd be returning to CRUCIAL at all. His curiosity turned to fear as Gillian stepped out of the driver's seat, his body tensing. Frozen for those few moments, his mind wandered back to the gun Gillian had had in hand earlier, dreading the worst for his sister. River pulled his crossbow from his bag in a single motion, loading in a bolt effortlessly and striding towards the car, his eyes fixed on the older man rushing to the passenger's seat.

Troy allowed Gillian to remove her from the car for those moments, pushing him away instantly as soon as she had her weight on her good leg. She turned, her gaze meeting River's. Her brother was standing only a few feet away, his crossbow loaded and aimed at Gillian. She could see the anger in her brother's eyes, fury glistening deep in his icy blue gaze. Troy didn't speak up to her brother, knowing she wouldn't protest if the boy decided to shoot Gillian.

► Gillian snickered as he was pushed away, watching her as she gathered herself. He turned to walk into the warehouse and stopped, freezing on the spot as he saw River with the crossbow. He didn't know how to react at first, raising his hands carefully.

xxx"Don't." he mumbled, his voice adorned with worry, backing up carefully and keeping his eye on the boy and trying to shift behind Troy to mess with his pockets with one hand to try and get his gun out carefully.

♠♦ River smirked at Gillian's one word plea not to shoot, readying his trigger finger when Troy spoke.
"Don't shoot him, River," Her voice was cool though full of discomfort, "I don't want to have to tend to his wounds." She finished. River didn't lower his crossbow, blocking out Troy's words for a moment, seething rage still moving through him. Then suddenly he lowered the crossbow, never taking his eyes from Gillian as he gave him a cold stare, making the older man aware of the threat River posed.

River came forward, wrapping his arm around his sister as he began to help her inside the warehouse.
"Help me to the medical supplies." Troy clenched her teeth as she spoke delicately to River. Her brother became her crutch as she limped back towards the warehouse, River at her side. River tossed a look over his shoulder, addressing Gillian.
"Watch yourself," River snarled at the man, "I'm a good shot." He aided Troy into the warehouse, one arm hooked around her wait while the other hand dangled at his side, his crossbow tight in his grasp.

●● Levi atayed quiet while he hot wired the car in a matter of a few minutes. He was even more impressed with himself when the car alarm didn't go off and he pulled out of the car and stood looking to him for a moment before looking away. "Good luck." He said before turning and walking away from him heading back to the crate to grab the knife he had forgotten on top of it. He climbed onto the crate once more grabbing the knife before getting back down and jogging down the street. He fired at a few zombies running at him before rounding the corner and shooting at a few more. So it was nice to know no one even considered him when they were on the streets. They'd take a shot without him then with him. That always made him feel wonderful. Oh well. Ever one died or turned. Maybe Levi would get ambushed and bit and turn into a scavenger hungry mouth on the streets like every other damned body that roamed here. He was technically already supposed to be turned or eaten alive. Maybe his time was soon..

► Gillian glanced between the two of them, keeping his main focus on the crossbow. When he noticed the boy's threatening stare, he couldn't help but smirk, especially as Troy spoke. He looked down briefly to get a cigarette out, disregarding them, then he snickered at River's comment, not bothering to open his mouth or even look up.

xxxWhen he lit the cigarette, he took a quick drag on it and made his way inside, checking the place before making his way up to his own quarters. He sat, smoking quietly and shivering hard, trying to relax himself so that he wasn't so attentive and paranoid; he was wincing at sounds around the warehouse as he started to daydream. He wanted to speak to Troy but figured he'd wait until nightfall.

♣ Jayce watched intently as Levi finished with the car and to his delight, opened it with ease.
"Thanks!" He smiled to the boy who in turn responded harshly. Before Jayce could say anything more, Levi was out of sight. A pang of sadness struck him as he watched Levi go. He hadn't seen people in a while and he had to admit that being a lone wolf wasn't all it was cracked up to be. He let out a sigh, sliding into the driver's seat of the car. He sat in his own silence, his hands on the steering wheel, thinking to himself deeply about Levi.

He pulled the car into reverse, turning the best he could with his limited driving abilities and driving down the road at a slow pace. He rounded the corner, noticing Levi shooting zombies left and right. He boy looked numb and Jayce didn't pity him, simply because he knew that feeling. He pressed the gas, driving alongside Levi as he walked.
"Don't your feet get tired?" Jayce pestered him from the window of the car, rolling alongside Levi, "I have a nice seat right beside me. I might need someone to grab the wheel, I'm only sixteen and haven't even taken my permit test." Sarcasm rolled off his tongue as he spoke to Levi with a little laugh.
