Luke looked to the man as he seemed to come to a block of the guards and he simply stood back and let the situation unfold. If this guy couldn't get him out, no point trying to be a hero, if he could then he could also handle himself. The later was quickly proved right as he easily took down the soldier and was defended by some higher ranked military guy. Nodding slightly to the guards as he passed, no one daring to stop him after what had just happened between his escort and the young soldier. Once he was outside he looked around worriedly. The difference was almost startling.

It was so quiet out here, no movement, and everything seemed to look pale and dull. When the offer was given to him Luke took a few moments to think it through before shaking his head. "I still think you're my best best at getting my friend safely. I don't think this camp thing is a good idea, seems like a cattle farm to me. But I have also begun to realise that I'm just one guy. If anything happened to me, like today or if I got injured or died, then there will be no one to look after her. My best chance of finding a group is, logically, with the biggest group of people. So I do plan on going back once she's safe, I just have to hope I get things sorted out before things go to hell."

The next question was one he thought was reasonable, after all who wouldn't want to know more about where they were going or who they were trying to help. "Her name is Ashley, she's just a little kid, ten she told me anyway. God I can't imagine being ten... In a world like thins? Christ! She's not even related to me for pity's same! Never met her before in my life, I don't know how to look after a kid. I just found her at the bloody airport! Poor kid was sitting next to her mum, crying. The woman had her split open, blood everywhere. It was horrible." He took a few moments to breathe, realising he'd just vented a little, all the frustrations he'd built up over the days.

"But... She grew on me, I suppose. Kept me sane, let me stay in her house with her. As for where that is... Look you're gonna laugh but I don't know. Not an address or anything anyway, I just know how to get there. I only really know the area by sight, no street names or suburbs or anything. Sorry if I'm a bit useless in that respect. It's about a half hour walk from here, maybe twenty if we don't run into, you know, dead guys." He stopped talking but kept up a swift pace, at least for a while. "Thank you," he said softly to the man. "You didn't have to help me, but you did."
