Katie - Haywood - Waiting

In the days following the 'Lauren incident' as everyone was referring to it in whispers, Katie had been trying to be good for Emma. She didn't like anyone else, not even Emma's brother Daniel, who scared her a bit. The only people she would listen to and talk to were Lauren and Emma.
There wasn't much to do for a little girl. Katie met a nice lady named Jessalyn who was going to have a baby, but she wasn't comfortable around her.

She still wanted her daddy. She wished for him every day. But she was quieter about it now. No one liked him, not even Emma though she tried to hide it from Katie.
Speaking of Emma, she had nightmares regularly. She tried to hide it but Katie heard her at night. It made her feel bad for her friend. So she tried extra hard to be a good girl for Emma, do what chores she could, bring her flowers that were actually weeds but they were the best she could find, draw her pictures with scraps of paper and pieces of pencils that she found.
She was actually finishing up a picture right now. It was a picture of Emma and Katie holding hands with a heart around them. Underneath it Katie had written : I luv u.
Holding up the picture and pronouncing it perfect, although she wished she had crayons to color it and make it prettier, the little girl went off to find Emma and give it to her.

Noah - Haywood - Daniel, Anthony, Abram

Before time skip.

Noah finally gave a breath of relief as the two soldiers put their rifles down. They weren't going to die today, that was always good. He gave a small smile as one soldier gave a small excuse. Noah could forgive him, he had witnessed what some people would do these days. After Daniel introduced himself and Abram and gave his crowbar back, Noah strapped the crowbar back onto his belt and looked back at the two. "I'm Noah, and this is my son Anthony," Noah said, indicating Anthony with his hand. "We've been on our own for a while and honestly I don't think we would've made it out of that situation so, thank you." Noah gave a pause, consider what he should say next.

"If you'd allow us to stay here, we can prove useful. I can fight if needed but more importantly I can cook which seems to be needed. You'll see us as honest people and will be able to trust us." Anthony looked over at his father, raising an eyebrow. He was obviously a bit surprised by Noah saying this, but Noah was sure of it. He knew especially after what just happened that they wouldn't be able to live on their own for long let alone their food situation too. Anthony gave a breath and gave a short nod. He too acknowledged that this needed to be done.

After time skip.

Noah - Haywood

The next week for Noah felt rough, but seemed to go without incident. He worked in the kitchens and did the best with what he had to make satisfactory meals, which was very hard several times. Haywood didn't have many supplies as Daniel had said, but it was enough to last them this long. Nevertheless, Noah did his best to appear trustworthy, but many still seemed like strangers. His trouble with remembering names didn't help at all. In the end though the place was safe, and that was good enough for Noah. They were on one side of the walls, and the dead were on the other. As long as that didn't change they would be safe.

Noah continued walking down the road back to the kitchens, stepping through a door on the side of the building. Inside he didn't see anyone, as expected. Noah sat down at a table and leaned back in his chair, pulling out a book that he had found. He had always liked to read, and he had no time to do it while they were going around Louisiana for this past year. These breaks were always satisfying. In a bit he would have to stop and start looking at what he could make today which hopefully wouldn't be too much of a challenge this time.

Anthony - Haywood

Anthony's transition into Haywood wasn't as graceful as Noah. He was only 14, yet he had grown accustomed to this world. He give little trust to anyone especially the ones who appeared nice and friendly. Staying in the small room that was given to them was the main place Anthony stayed, only coming out if he was needed or couldn't handle sharpening his knife anymore. Such as the circumstance was now as Anthony finally left the room, sheathing his dagger. Staying in this place was uncomfortable to him. The dead were constantly near and the only thing blocking them was a wall. He kept imagining just one tiny little gap that the Walkers would exploit as soon as they realized it was there. Anthony shivered, maybe staying near the wall today was a bad idea. No, best to walk around the interior and keep out of sight of the wall.

Tyler - The New Orleans Museum of Art

He watched as Reggie fired a second shot into the man on the floor, cutting short his last few seconds of life. He watched as Reggie stared at the two dead men, their limp bodies beside each other in a growing puddle of blood. Though it was Thomas that watched, it was Tyler that raised his gun to the back of Reggie's head. There they both watched, imagining the bullet smashing into Reggie's soft head and blowing his brains out on the other side. In just a few more seconds it would be over, though Tyler wanted to savor these last few moments with Reggie. He was a respectable man who had been guilty of little more than looking out for his community. It was just unfortunate that he had to be eliminated in order for Tyler to get to his one and only daughter.

"Reggie," Tyler said a bit wearily. He couldn't shoot the man from behind, unfortunately. Despite what some people probably believed, Tyler had never taken much joy from the act of murder. He would have to look this man in the eyes as he died.

"What is it, Thom-" He turned around with little fanfare. As far as Tyler could tell, Reggie wasn't surprised by these developments, as he wasted no time in raising his own gun. A valiant effort, but too slow to stop the inevitable. Tyler's pistol fired a bullet into Reggie's head, killing him instantly. The man crumpled to the ground as if his very life force was suddenly ejected from his body. Tyler stared at the man's open dead eyes and thought of Brad.

Rudy - The New Orleans Museum of Art - Aoife/Cody/Sylar/Hex

His team of Bex and Aoife had encountered little resistance securing their entrance. As planned, the fighting had been concentrated at the front, though a few stragglers eventually ran into them as they tried to flee. Reggie had ordered that they take no prisoners, so it was with heavy regret that Rudy and his team killed them as they arrived. Though Bex hadn't said a word, Rudy could see trepidation on his face. Whether the man had a problem with killing the men or if something else was on his mind, Rudy wasn't sure. Eventually the shouting and gunfire ceased and Rudy believed that they had finally won. Not wanting to keep watch over the entrance any longer, Rudy brought his team further into the museum to get some sort of status update on the situation.

It was then that they found Thomas standing over the bodies of three dead men. When he noticed Rudy approaching the scene, Thomas buried his head in his hands. "Rudy, I'm-- Damn. I tried to save him." Rudy, Bex and Aoife circled the bodies and they saw that one of them was Reggie. "One of them got a shot on him. I-I didn't fire in time. Reggie wasn't a good man, but I didn't want it to end like this."

Bex shook his head and turned away from the scene. Rudy looked up into Thomas' eyes, unsure of what to say. "So, he..."

"It's a mess," Thomas said. "But we've won. What we need to do now is gather everyone together and figure out what to do from here."

Thomas was right. Rudy was thankful that Thomas was right, because he had no idea what to do. Thomas was a capable man and someone that Rudy knew he could rely on. Rudy knew he was only cut out for being a follower, so he was glad there were people like Reggie and Thomas who were good at being leaders.

"Let's go."

***

The scouts were gathered together after their arduous battle. Their casualties were lower than expected, consisting of only Simon, Reggie, and Arthur. It seemed that Jerry had faced more resistance than Rudy and that Arthur had been killed in the fighting. As for the wounded, there were quite a few, but only a handful of scouts would be out of commission.

Despite the rumours of Reggie's hand in Samantha's murder, many of the scouts had respected Reggie. For him to die was a heavy blow to their morale. Though it was a hard topic to discuss, Rudy suggested that they choose a new leader for the scouts as soon as possible. Mostly everyone agreed and Phon was suggested to take over for Reggie. A few of the newer scouts suggested Enrique and a smaller number suggested Lucas. Rudy thought those were good ideas (Well, except maybe Enrique), but he had someone different in mind.

"Guys, I know a lot of us loved Reggie, but there's something we need to talk about!" Rudy raised his voice to drown out the talking, but quieted down once he had everyone's attention. "There was a group of us who were... investigating Reggie. We had searched his cabin a week ago. Samantha was one of us." The group of scouts looked warily at each other at the mention of Samantha. "We found a journal belonging to Reggie that implicated him in the mutiny from before. It's likely that he was the one who killed Samantha in retaliation."

Perhaps it was because Rudy had spoken without a single swear, but the group of scouts had gone deathly quiet. Their minds appeared to be connecting the dots and already they were believing what Rudy was saying. Of course, Adam quickly stepped forward and demanded they show this evidence. Rudy began to speak, but Thomas cut him off. "We don't have it with us," he said. "It's back at Outpost and probably in the council's hands. The truth is, Reggie has been using you all for a power trip. He's lied and cheated to get where he was. Though I wish he hadn't died today, the truth is that he was no friend to any of us."

The group was being easily swayed, the rumours from before were still weighing heavily on their minds. Rudy chose now to make his suggestion. He tried his best not to swear. "Thomas is a man I've come to respect. Without him, we would not have figured out the truth about Reggie. He has worked so hard for us despite barely knowing us. I think that despite him only being with us a short time, that he should be the new leader of the scouts."

That got a loud response, though Rudy could see the newer scouts already warming to the idea. They liked Enrique for whatever reason and Thomas was Enrique's friend. As the group began to voice their affirmation, it seemed that Thomas would become the leader after all.

"Ridiculous," Phon said, uncharacteristically speaking up. "Reggie was not that kind of man. I am not following a man who would speak ill of my friend."

"Yeah!" Adam yelled. "Fuck that! Reggie was one hell of a guy! He couldn't be a murderer!"

They were the minority. Thomas only shook his head. "I'm sorry, but it seems we've come to an agreement. If you have a problem with my leadership, then you may leave and I would not hold it against you."

Phon was quick to go. "This is too much for me. I'm sorry, everyone, but I can't go back to Outpost." As he began to leave, Adam rushed to follow him. Before long they were both out of sight.

Myriah - All of Outpost

Myriah had been in a state of shock ever since the attack. She could barely live with herself. That poor girl had died while Myriah was in the next room. When Myriah had awoken, all she could tell anyone was that it had been a man who attacked her. Unfortunately, they had been quick enough so that Myriah had not been able to get a good look at them. Myriah believed it was shameful, especially so when it was believed that Myriah had been the intended target. Why the killer hadn't finished her off was beyond her, but Myriah couldn't stand thinking she was the cause of Samantha's death. It had to have been related to Samantha's strange actions the night before, but neither Myriah or anyone else could see the connection.

When Elliot and George came forward with the journal, it all began to fall into place. While everyone was led to believe that Reggie was behind the murder to cover up his own tracks, Myriah knew that just could not be possible. When it was discussed at the community meeting that Matt had a heavy hand in finding the evidence, Myriah knew who was to blame. Unfortunately, she could do nothing while the community's approval of Matt grew. It bugged her that approval of the sign language class grew as well by some ironic extension.

The day after the community had discussed drafting a new scouting team, the old one returned, albeit without Reggie. They had been met with disapproval and suspicion, but once they explained that they had nothing to do with Reggie's actions, the people began to warm up to them again. Everyone found it weird to see someone they didn't know too well as the new leader of the scouts, but once Matt spoke up for Thomas, everyone's doubts seemed to disappear and Alex was offered a spot back on the team. Though it was considered inappropriate for Thomas to join the council, it was decided he would stay the leader of the scouts. In fact, Thomas already had a new mission in mind for his group. It was briefly discussed with the council that after the success of taking down the art museum gang (Which the council hadn't been too happy to learn about after the fact), that it would be in Outpost's best interest to take out another dangerous gang lurking within the city. Matt's new sway with the council and the community pushed Thomas' plan into approval and preparations were underway for the attack on a place called Haywood.

***

The evening the plan was approved, the scouts had left. They intended to reach Haywood by morning, but that was beyond Myriah's concern at the moment. She had let her emotions boil to the surface and she could not take sitting on her hands much longer. At a time when most of Outpost was going to bed, Myriah confronted Matt in the office. "We should talk," she said, standing before him in the doorway. "I think." She crossed her arms and let out a heavy sigh. "I know that Reggie wasn't behind the mutiny. And it's doubtful he killed Samantha." Myriah paused, though she wasn't trying to be dramatic. She just wasn't sure if she wanted to continue with this. "... You killed her, or at least a friend of yours did. Maybe it was that Thomas man. I don't know."

She continued quickly, in case Matt got the idea of killing her now as well. "But unfortunately I can't say anything. I would have by now if I could. It's related to how I know Reggie is innocent, so come to your own conclusions." The truth was, Myriah had been the one behind the mutiny attempt. It had been her idea all along in order to convince Outpost that she wasn't fit to lead them by herself. Though her plan ultimately worked out, it seemed Jonah had gotten overzealous. Myriah would have ensured his safe escape after his fabricated attempt, but Jonah had decided to turn it into a real attempt. If it hadn't been for Reggie, Myriah knew she would have died and it would have been entirely her own fault.

"I don't trust you, and I don't like this, but I have to live with it. All I ask is that you don't speak to me ever again outside of council meetings. We must unfortunately coexist."

Shannon - Haywood - The Attack

It was unbelievably relieving to finally get her sling off. She had almost kissed Riley when he told her it was time. After how miserable she had felt in the last few days, Shannon now felt like she was walking on air. Now, they could finally start seriously considering leaving. Her group of four had discussed who would go and who would stay a few times, but they had not seriously committed to an idea yet. Shannon had warmed up to the idea of taking Katie with them, though she imagined that Katie would need Lauren to join her. This was a problem, as even though Lauren had been keeping her cool for most of the week, Shannon still could not get the woman's violent outburst out of her mind. They had all tried to make an effort to get along, but it had been rather difficult.

Shannon decided she would bring Lauren some tea this morning. A sign of good faith, right? Shannon was in a good mood now with the use of both her arms and figured they may as well use the tea if they still had it. Boiling water was a bit of a process without a stove or electricity, but Shannon had done it so often within the last few months that it almost felt as natural as making tea before everything went to hell.

She brought the mug of hot liquid upstairs where Lauren was sleeping. The woman was still dreaming, so Shannon silently watched her for a moment, wondering if she should wake the woman or not. She could just leave the tea at Lauren's bedside, but it would be awful for the tea to grow cold while she slept. As Shannon started working herself up to waking Lauren, the mug of tea exploded in her hand. She screamed and ducked to the ground, her mind briefly imagining that she had made some kind of explosive tea.

But a second sound of breaking glass was heard and Shannon found shards of glass surrounding her. It was then that she realised someone had been shooting at her from outside the window. "Daniel!" she yelled as she cautiously peeked her head up to see outside. She didn't see who was aiming for her, but she saw a group of people at the gates ready to break it down. They were all armed heavily and-- SMASH! Another shot was fired and Shannon ducked for cover again. Vivid memories of Emma's group firing back at her suddenly filled her mind. Lauren sat up in the bed and groaned and Shannon leaped to grab her by the arm.

"We're under attack," she told a bewildered Lauren. "Find Katie and lay low!"

Jessalyn - Haywood - Attack

Jess had been feeling funny ever since waking up. Restless, not being able to sit still... She had slept well the night before so it couldn't be lack of sleep. It might be depression. They hadn't found a trace of Floyd yet.

Floyd... every day she missed him... every day she prayed she'd see him again.
It was a struggle to smile so she gave up after a while. Everyone in Haywood was very nice now, looked out for each other and there were no secrets, unlike when Bruce was in charge. From the way they treated her it was like they still felt guilty about what had happened when she had last been in Haywood and were trying to make up for things.

Jess spotted the little girl running across the yard towards one of the buildings calling for Emma. She still had her little arm in a sling, but seemed to be doing just fine with it. The doctor had said that it should be taken off in a few days and then they would see if Katie could move it, but he had high hopes that she would be fine. The bullet hadn't done too much damage thankfully. It was a shame that such a thing as an innocent child getting shot in the crossfire would happen, but this was the kind of world they lived in now.

A sudden pain hit Jess and she doubled over in pain for a second. Those were starting to happen more frequently. Maybe it was time to talk to the doc about-
Suddenly someone grabbed her arm and pulled her aside as bullets started flying.
"What's happening?!" she asked.
"We're being attacked!" a young girl, Audrey, told her and pulled her inside a building for cover. "Stay here and stay away from the windows!" he said, grabbing a gun.
Jess was about to speak but was cut off by another sudden pain. She grabbed her stomach as she slid to the floor.
"What?!" Audrey asked worriedly. "Were you hit?!"
"No," Jess gasped and looked down. "My water broke..." she said, staring in disbelief at the wet patch on her pants.
"What does that mean?" she asked.
"It means get the doctor. Now."
The young girl's eyes widened as she realized what was happening. "God... oh God... CRAP! Okay just... stay here and... breathe and... just breathe!" Racing out the door, she started shouting for the doc.

Alone, Jess struggled to relax as another pain hit her like a wave. "You had to pick right now?" she asked the baby incredulously.
Her baby was about to be born in the middle of a gun battle.

Nothing was ever easy...

Crowe Siblings(Yes I Know That's Cheating)/Sylar - Haywood - The Attack

Emma's eyes snapped open when the shot sounded and the glass shattered. The morning was still early, but both Daniel and Abram were gone, leaving Emma by herself. The second shot resounded from outside, and Emma rolled off of the bed, hitting the floor. "We're under attack!" A shout came from downstairs. Emma reached under Daniel's bed fishing for the small box that he kept a few treasures in. She felt it with her fingers and pulled it out, removing a pair of outdoor binoculars. She peeked her head to the window, and gazed out at the gate through the binoculars. The girl's breath caught, and she feared she would never regain it, as she saw the group of at least twenty people with guns, surging towards their home. Emma spotted one man that seemed to be leading them forward- she gasped sharply, her eyes beginning to water, and the binoculars fell from her hands and to the ground outside. At the head of the group was Tyler Salem.

Still dressed in only her underwear and shirt, she rushed to the door, trying to open it. However, the door was locked, and Emma couldn't get the knob to unlock. She banged on the door, and yelled for Daniel or Abram or Rob. She went back to the window and saw Daniel herding everyone into the administration building. She was alone in the house now... Emma banged and banged, yelling louder, trying to bust the door down.

In the administration building, Daniel had barred the door and locked it when he made sure everyone was accounted for. "Where's EMMA?!" He barked. Riley shook his head. "I didn't see her, lad, I assumed she was already in here!" Daniel ventured to one of the side doors, where he cracked it open. A shot rang and hit the brick wall beside the door. They must have sharpshooters around the place!

--

Sylar had his plan layed out in his mind; he and two other scouts would round the complex and infiltrate the area over the fence. He secured a loop in a long strand of rope, and threw it to one of the brick stacks atop the gate. He pulled tight to make sure it was secured and began to walk himself up the side. At the top, the man threw himself to the ground, seeing that he had ended up behind the big house, he was satisfied. He waited until his other two companions, Hansel and Cane, got over the wall. When they had, Sylar unshouldered his crossbow and kicked in the door of the house. It seemed to be empty, until a scream came from upstairs. "Daniel!" A girl's voice came.

Sylar ascended the stairs cautiously, coming to the door. The pounding had stopped, so Sylar reared back and gave the door a hard kick, and it busted open. Inside stood a young redheaded girl, younger than Meghan. She was startled, and a horrified face stared down Sylar's sights. She was dressed in nothing but her underwear and T-shirt. "Don't make me shoot you." He said harshly. He truthfully didn't want to shoot her, so he turned to Hansel. "Find somethin' to tie her up with, do it fast!" The young man bent to his knees and slid his pack off, quickly produced a thick roll of duct tape. "Turn 'round, don't try anything stupid." He snapped. Weakly the girl obeyed, turning around. Sylar lowered his bow, sliding it on his shoulder. He quickly bound her hands behind her back, then ripped another strip off and covered her mouth. The less possibility that these people knew that Outpost had a hostage, the better. He'd come around to hopefully take them surprise and kill them from behind, but they got the next best thing.

Sylar took the girl by the arm and forced her out of the room, and down the stairs. When they exited the compound, sneaking the long route to ensure that the people in this community didn't see them, Hansel, Cain, and Sylar approached Thomas and Bex. The girl saw Thomas, and shrunk away, as if Thomas had tried to slit her throat. "Thomas, we found that they moved out of the house, but we found her locked in a room."

Tyler - Haywood

The art museum gang's armory had been stripped completely in preparation for this attack. Though Outpost had a healthy supply of guns and ammunition, it was lacking in explosives in particular. The grenades worked well, as observed by the death of Simon, so Tyler was ready to throw every one he had at these damned people. Well, not until he had Katie by his side. They would blow the gate open with explosives and ram a couple of vehicles through for cover , a similar strategy employed by Enrique back at The Pub. The sharpshooters were positioned all around Haywood, their sights set on windows and structures. They had spent a large portion of their morning watching Haywood's movements, but the place seemed to be a ghost town. One of the scouts had spotted a large number of freshly dug graves, so Tyler could only imagine he was the luckiest man in the world. It was destined for him to reunite with Katie again. She would be here, he just knew it.

Rudy was at Tyler's side. He was someone that had become just about as loyal as Enrique. Both men shared the fact that Tyler had been lying to them both since he met them. Tyler realised the circumstances were a bit odd, but he considered Rudy a friend. He was a good guy, someone far better than the monsters Tyler used to command. "It was a big risk putting me in charge," Tyler said as the scouts got into position. "I'm not sure how you feel about this, but this is necessary. These people took my daughter from me."

Rudy didn't seem to acknowledge him, only staring straight ahead from their position a block away from Haywood's gates. Tyler was about to ask what was on his mind when he spoke up, "I know you wouldn't have done this if you didn't have a fucking good reason. So, thank you for telling me that."

Tyler smiled, a genuine smile, not just a smile Thomas would make. "... Your name isn't Brad, is it?"

Rudy nodded. "That's it. You got it."

"Really?"

"Nope. One more guess."

"I'll try again after we've got my daughter back." Rudy nodded and Tyler turned back toward Haywood. Perhaps he would tell Rudy his own real name if he managed to guess correctly.

While they watched, Sylar approached them practically dragging a girl behind him. It seemed he had succeeded in his plan to obtain a hostage. Tyler wasn't sure they needed one, but just his luck that it worked out anyway. Beside him, Bex grunted. Tyler turned to him to find that he looked completely startled. He probably didn't approve of a hostage, but--

"Oh," was all Tyler could say. He recognised that girl, she was his captive only a month ago. That meant Bex recognised her as well, as well as that damned Hex. "Make sure to keep her gagged, Sylar. Hansel and Cain should watch her. I'd rather have everyone assisting in the assault, but she needs to be watched."

Tyler then approached the two men and spoke quietly to them. "Don't you dare harm her. Don't even touch her. She's a hostage, and the hostages must be kept safe for them to be effective."

With that, Tyler turned and nodded to Bex and Rudy. "Let's get started."

***

Explosives had been set around Haywood, ready to blow at Lucas' command. The man was a godsend for at least having basic explosives knowledge. It was something that completely baffled Tyler, but Lucas assured him they could wreck the gates at the push of a button to let a whole mess of walkers inside. Inwardly, Tyler warmed with joy at the idea, for it would be Haywood's punishment for releasing his own walkers with explosives. However, unlike these damned people, Tyler would hold off on blowing anything up until Katie was out of there. He could still see his dreams for the future mauled to death as if the scene was right in front of him. Haywood would pay for that as well.

For now, the explosives at the front gate were all that would explode. As Tyler gave the signal for his sharpshooters to start raining down fire, Lucas set off the explosives on the gate. There was an anticipated BOOM! as the gate exploded in a flash of flame. The vehicle parked behind the gate was pushed violently into the air, rolling over once before resting on its side.

"Push!" Tyler commanded. "Don't stop moving!" At the front was the heaviest vehicle, the one that was not to be pushed, but driven at full force into the gate in order to clear the remaining debris. The driver, Jerry, was decked out in riot gear in case his crash proved a bit too bumpy. As he began to drive forward, the scouts began to push their vehicles into Haywood, making sure to duck as low as possible in the process. Beside him pushing one of the front vehicles was Bex, Rudy, and Enrique. "This is for who we've lost," Tyler said to them and only them. Who he meant was different for all three of the men that heard, but Tyler truly meant them all.

Enrique- Haywood

Enrique pushed behind the car, he pushed with allot of effort and continued forcing the truck forward. Enrique didn't think back that much, he tucked his shoulder and took deep steps. He enjoyed the manual labor, he enjoyed the combat, gunfire and blood were his comforts. He dug into the ground and pushed it forward.

"Thomas," Enrique said putting his back against the car, "I really wish... I really wish you'd have let me kill that fucking Reggie."

Enrique slammed his elbow into the back of the truck, "Lets end these fuckers, for those we loved and those we lost, and any we'll lose in the near future."

Alex Clark - Haywood - The attack - Jessalyn

He had been overjoyed when they had allowed him back in the scouts, and the prospect of doing something had gotten him so excited he hadn't had an attack in the last few days at all anymore. Hope had kindled within him that he might be starting to heal inside, when the next scout operation was announced; an atack on yet another criminal band. His enthousiasm had carried him through the original shock, but he didn't like the prospect of going out there solely to kill others. He didn't want to be a murdere, wether it be out of self-defence or not. Killing crawlers was one thing, but living humans...? Then again, he didn't want to try his luck and stay behind. He had just been allowed again to prove his worth once more, to prove that he was not a nuisance, and he had to take it with both hands. He had to do what was best for him AND for the entire community. Join the attack.
Once there he had joined the assault team, simply because he was a terrible shot. He had been given a military grade assault rifle of sorts, as they now had weapons in abundance, and been ordered to charge in and clear a rather large building. It was a bit sad, he thought, as he snuk up on the compound. It looked eerily similar to the Outpost, with these walls around. Strangely enough it was so deserted compared to his new home, and the presence of countless graves accounted for that. "Crawlers..." He had been surprised by the lack of security these bandits had, and the longer he looked at the camp, the less convinced he was of his reasons for being here. These people didn't look like bandits at all. They were just ... well ... Like them. A community.

However, as the signal for attack was given, his hesitation was shoved into the background as he stormed into the complex, firing afew shots at the buildings, afraid to accidentally hit an ally. He was for once not carrying his pitchfork, partially because of the unwieldyness of the thing during a sneaky operation and partially because he didn't want to stab a human being with it that wasn't dead already, and he felt the comfortable weight of the survival knife against his thigh as he ran. While running he was surprised by their victims returning fire at first, he had only been shot at once before in his life, a few months ago, but once he was into the relative safety of the house's walls as cover, he noticed how little resistance they actually encountered. From what he had been told about the attack on the museum gang, bandits were supposed to have an awful lot of firepower. Back then they had lost two good men, but here it seemed to be turning into a real slaughter. Was it because of the recent outbreak of the dead that had occured in this settlement, or... was this really just another community of survivors? His stomach turned upside down as he imagined the concept of shooting innocent people that just tried to survive, just like him. That'd make him a bandit, a murderer.

Violently shaking his head, he kicked in the door in front of him, and stormed inside, checking all rooms for potential danger. However, he was distracted by his panicking thoughts, and the more rooms he checked, the more he saw, the more he was convinced that he had become a bandit. He already was overwhelmed with guilt when he had caused the death of some of his friends, was now about to cause the end of an entire peaceful community. Cold sweat ran down his spine and he passed through the hallway, and suddenly encountered a man running insidealong with a young woman about his own age, carrying a case of medical supplies. The man nor the girl looked armed, and with a pale face Alex aimed his rifle at tem.

"S-S-Stop!" He managed, trembling heavily as sweat ran down his pale face. A soft sound to the right of him drew his attention, and he threw a glance into the door he had just pushed open, where he saw a young but heavily pregnant woman stand, breathing heavily and leaning against the wall. This was not a bandit camp.

Tyler - Haywood

Tyler looked at Enrique through the corner of his eye, his expression settling on a glare. "The bandits got to him first. There was nothing that could be done."

As the vehicles made their way into Haywood, return fire began to rain down upon them. It was nothing compared to the art museum gang, further proving that Haywood wasn't doing so good these days. A sudden intrusive thought entered Tyler's mind, that his Katie lie dead in one of the graves. If that was the case, he would just have to murder each and every one of the people who let her die.
Shannon - Haywood

Shanelle and her friend Ryder kept watch over James toward the centre of the house, where it was least likely for them to be hit by gunfire. Shannon had tried to get Valentina to join them, but the girl refused to leave her room, only staring up at the ceiling in a catatonic state. Shannon worried that the girl could be dangerous in her current state, so she was forced to leave her. Then she scrambled to join the others in firing on their attackers, but she found herself stopping at one of the windows to see what they were up to. She kept low, only daring to get the tiniest of peeks out in case she was fired upon.

Shannon watched as the attackers pushed a series of vehicles into Haywood, most of them choosing to settle outside Daniel's home. Once they were in place, some of them scattered, probably to round up anyone wandering outside. One of the attackers began to yell, "I want my daughter back, and any other prisoners your people have!" Shannon couldn't see the person behind the car, but the sound of his voice indicated that he was male. "My daughter... Katelyn. You will hand her over! We have one of your own as hostage! Another young girl!"

Shannon ducked down and brought a hand to her mouth. That man could only mean Katie, and it meant that man was Tyler. Though she had never met the man herself, the horror stories that the others had told her were brought to the forefront of her mind. He couldn't possibly be bluffing about a hostage, could he? Shaking her head, Shannon got to her feet. She felt clumsy and frightened, but she couldn't sit this one out, not like last time. She hurried down the stairs, yelling, "Daniel! They must mean Emma! He has Emma!"

Katie - Haywood - Daddy!

The gunshots made Katie hit the dirt with a scream, not just out of fear but out of pain because she hurt her injured shoulder when she hit the ground. She covered her ears, the terror of the gunfight from a few weeks ago playing out in her mind once again. She hated this! She hated guns! They were loud and they hurt!
"Emma!" Katie screamed. "Make it stop!"

But then she heard something that changed everything.
"I want my daughter back, and any other prisoners your people have! My daughter... Katelyn."
Daughter Katelyn... that was her name... that voice...

Everything else left her mind in that instant. She didn't hear anything or anybody else. The little girl jumped to her feet with a gasp.
"Daddy?" she murmured, not sure if it was a dream or real. "Daddy?" she called louder, then squealed in excitement. "DADDY!" she screamed happily and started running for the voice.
Her daddy was here! He had come for her!

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" the word became an excited mantra as she ran towards the cars, crying happily as she ran. Finally she was going to see her daddy again. Finally she was going to hug him. Finally, they were going to be together again. She would never be bad ever ever again. Never. She would always be good for the rest of her life if it meant she could have her daddy back.
"I knew you would come!" she cried, "Daddy!"
Jessalyn - Haywood building - Riley, Audrey, Intruder (aka Alex)

The door was shoved open forcefully and Jess looked up hoping to see the doctor. Instead she saw a gun.
"Please!" she cried. She could see the doctor and Audrey beyond the door, the man with the gun telling them to stop. "Please! I'm in labor!" she pleaded, praying this raider had a heart. She needed the doctor now!

A contraction hit her and she cried out in pain, crumpling to the floor. She whimpered in pain and tried to breathe like the doctor had told her to.
Screw breathing! It hurt!
The contraction passed, but she knew others were coming. "Doctor?" she called weakly, reaching out for him. "Help..."

Shannon - Haywood

Lauren screamed as Katie ran outside the house. "Katie, no!" The woman ran for the girl but Shannon cut her off at the doorway. Lauren still walked with a limp, so it was easy to get ahead of her. Shannon yelled out Katie's name as well as she grabbed the young girl by the arm a few feet away from the line of cars. She held on for dear life, unwilling to let this girl run willingly into this monster's arms. "No, you can't. You can't!" Shannon found herself starting to sweat. She was out in the open now and unable to defend herself.

Tyler positioned himself behind the car's window so he could get a look at what was happening without putting himself in harm's way. Shannon watched as the man's eyes went wide at the sight of Katie. "Katie," he said, his voice low. "My little girl. Daddy's here now. He's here to rescue you."

Shannon shook her head violently. "No! You're the monster! You--"

Tyler slammed his fist against the car window. "Shut up! You are wrong! She is my-- My daughter! She belongs with me!" There was a long moment of silence. Shannon could feel the tension weighing down upon her. "Let her go and we'll leave," Tyler said, his voice more relaxed. "We'll hand over our hostage and we will leave."

Shannon shook her head. Tears stung at her eyes. "You're lying. You've come here to murder us. Your daughter ended up here of her own free will."

Tyler sighed, looking oddly weary. "You're holding my daughter against her will as we speak. She wants her father."

Shannon stared at the man defiantly, even as tears streamed down her cheeks. Then she looked down at the young girl in her grip. "Katie," she whispered. "Please don't do this. Come back inside with us. I'll let you go but please, please don't leave us."

Daniel - Haywood

Daniel found that every word Tyler spoke caused him to loath this man even more. "No, Katie!" He shouted as Katie tore into the courtyard, Shannon jumping to her rescue. Her turned to Abram with a furious glare, and the man handed him his rifle. Daniel bent down, chambered a rounded, and rested the barrel in the window sill. Their only option was to talk to Tyler. The man had his little sister as a hostage. Daniel already lost Emma once, and he would not lose her again. "Tyler!" He barked towards the gates. "Listen to me for a moment!"

"You don't know me, but I know you. We're in the same boat right here!" He called, silently praying for the first time since he could remember. He'd never really thought it as much, but what else could he do when he was outnumbered and outgunned. "Tyler, we're both reasonable men, so just hear me out. We both have searched very hard to find someone we love! Now that they're in our reach, they've been taken from us! Your little girl is with us, but you've got my little sister. And if we really are in the same boat, you know that I'd kill with my bare hands to get that little girl back! We don't have to do this, Tyler. We don't have to unleash the murderers that we both have burried deep inside us! Now I know that both of us have killed; heck, not to long ago I tried to kill you. However, we have what eachother wants, and if we can make a fair trade, then we can avoid a river of blood!"

Doctor Riley - Haywood - Jessalyn/Alex/Audrey

Riley darted into the room, his arm around Audrey, pulling her with him. The young man closed the door behind them and raised his weapon, but the Doctor ignored him. He knelt down beside Jessalyn. "Jessalyn, listen to me, I know it hurts, but its only going to get worse. We can help you, I need you to take Audrey's hand and squeeze it as hard as you can, she's tough." He took of his jacket and unbottoned his overshirt, leaving his undershirt as the only thing to protect him from the harsh cold of the morning. "Now, Audrey's going to help you get your pants off." Once it was finished, Riley swung his jacket over Jess' shoulders, they needed to keep her as warm as possible.

He looked into the girl's eyes as she began to breath sharply. "Jessalyn, I need you to do your best to calm your breathing, it only makes it worse. In... out, in.... out." He lay his flannel shirt on the ground in front of Jess, ready for when her child came.

Alex Clark - Haywood - Riler/Audrey/Jessalyn

The pregnant woman soon pleaded to him to let her in peace, and the man infront of him, clearly the doctor, promptly ignored his outstretched gun, walked past him into the room with the woman, and started doing his job. He felt absolutely miserable. These people could impossibly be bandits. These were just peaceful survivors like them. People trying to band together to make it out here. Or actually, ... He pondered, feeling his guts turn sour, not like them. They had raided them, attacked them, based on only the words of Tyler. Based on the fact that he said these were bandits. He had so easily swayed everyone to come with him and outright murder everyone in this place, making them into the real bandits, monsters. He felt at fault as a human being, and strangely as a student too. His professors had always pushed them to source check, to not believe unless you can check the source, but he had blindly believed Tyler just so he could earn his place back with the scouts. It sickened him how easily he conformed with a group just for his own personal comfort.

He glanced at the rifle in his sweaty hands, and saw his fingerprints showing on the wet metal. The fingerprints of a murderer? No. Not if he could do something about it. For a brief moment he felt the need to return to the Outpost and try to spread the truth about this place, but then he realized that that'd be a bad idea. Despite the council the person in lead of the scouts held all the firepower in his hands. The people of Haywood all too easily followed a single charismatic leader who dared take the initiative, something that should've been more evident to him after withnessing Reggie. Scary images of the Outpost turning into a murdering band of crazed people flashed through his head, and with a metallic thud the rifle crashed into the floor. He opened the door, showing both his hands, still pale, sweating and shaking, but with a sort of resolve now. At least he had a plan now.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Jessalyn - Haywood - Riley, Audrey, Stranger (aka Alex)

Relief flooded her limbs when she heard the doctor's voice. She tried to relax but just ended up tensing up again as another contraction hit her. They were coming fast.
Too fast.
"Doctor?" she questioned, her voice laced with pain. "Why are they coming so close together? Shouldn't they be farther apart?" she asked, scared that something was wrong with her baby.
When the raider asked how he could help she wanted to scream at him to get the hell away from her, but she stopped herself. He was offering to help and not threatening to kill them. That was something at least.
"Please," she looked at him pleadingly. "Don't let anyone in here. No guns around my baby. I don't want one going off and-" another contraction seized her and she nearly screamed in pain. Whether it was the stress she had been under or just the way things were, the baby was coming very fast.
Katie - Haywood - Standoff

"No!" Katie screamed when someone grabbed her, holding her back, keeping her away from her daddy.
She realized it was Shannon. Shannon was trying to keep her from her daddy?! She had not really liked Shannon before, but now she nearly hated her.
"Let go! Let go! Let go!" she screamed, trying to pull away from the woman's grip. She looked wild-eyed at Tyler. "Daddy!" she screamed, reaching out for him, her arm pulling from it's sling, revealing her bandaged shoulder. It hurt to stretch out but she didn't care. She grasped at the air, her little fingers clawing at the air trying to reach him.
"I want my daddy," she sobbed little girl tears that would touch even the most cold-hearted person. "I want my daddy! Let go! Emma!" she screamed, wanting her only friend to come and make everything better. "Emma! Make her let go!"

Turning back to Shannon, she tried to pry the woman's fingers from her arm. "Please let go! I'll be good! I'll never talk back or be rude or spy on people ever again! I'll never do anything bad ever again! I just want my daddy! Please," she begged her.

When the woman didn't let go, Katie sank to the ground defeated. "I want Emma," she cried, sobbing into her hands. Emma would make the woman let go. Emma would take her to her daddy.
Then the kinda scary man, Daniel, started talking. He said her daddy had Emma with him and he wanted Emma back before he would let Katie go to her daddy. Katie looked back at her daddy. He had Emma with him?
"Where's -hic- Emma?" she asked, now starting to hiccup from crying so much. "I wan-hic-t Emma and my dad-hic-dy."

Tyler - Haywood

Still crouched behind the vehicle, Rudy spoke quietly to Tyler. "Why are they calling you Tyler?" he asked. He waited for Tyler to respond, but Tyler could not pry his attention away from the scene before him.

He watched as the most important person in his universe cried and screamed in front of him. She pried at the woman's hand even in the face of her injuries. She was the most powerful kid in the world, Tyler believed, and it took everything in him not to fire a shot between this woman's tearful eyes. Instead, Tyler calmed himself with a deep breath and said, "I have your hostage waiting outside your gates. I will bring her inside and we can do the exchange right here."

"No!" someone screamed. A woman exited the house, limping and pointing a rifle in Shannon's direction. "Bring her back inside! We're not giving her to this fucking monster!"

A red-hot fury overtook Tyler at the sight of Lauren. He had trusted her, once, and his trust had been repaid by the ungrateful little monster taking his daughter away. Lauren had been one of many in series of betrayals and, unfortunately for her, Tyler had learned one had to repay betrayal with execution. "She's going to shoot my daughter," Tyler said, unable to look away from Lauren. "She's going to shoot her! Someone stop her! Take her out!"

Lauren visibly shook and her eyes went wide. "I would never! He's tricking all of you! Katie couldn't be left around this monster-"

Neither Bex, Rudy, or any of the other scouts had moved to shoot. A few had moved slightly to try and see what was happening, but none looked ready to take a shot. Furious, Tyler screamed over Lauren's voice. "Kill her! Someone goddamn kill her!"

Enrique-Haywood

Enrique watched as the one called Lauren walked out, Tyler had told him stories of her. The traitorous bitch, and he had also told Enrique stories of Katie, the brave little girl who now had a rifle aimed at her, by the very bitch who caused his friend so much grief and so much pain that she deserved death. Enrique heard Tyler's calls and looked at him, he looked him dead in the eyes and knew what he had to do, he gave Tyler a nod and a smile.

"For Katie," Enrique said pulling the slide on his pistol and stepping out from behind the truck, he aimed down the barrel holding it in both hands, he trained his sight on the woman's head and squeezed the trigger. His first shot fell to the right clipping her shoulder, the rifle was jarred from her hands by the impact. Enrique squeezed the trigger again and hit her in the stomach, again and in the face. She fell to the floor limp, and Enrique set his weapon in the belt line of his pants, he looked at the people in front of him. He vaguely recognized them, but he didn't care he had done what he needed to do, Katie would be safe and his debt would be paid. He stared them dead on and put his hands out to the sides.

"She threatened my friends daughter, I took her down." Enrique shouted, "Now let the girl go and I will surrender, you can do whatever you want to me and I will accept it, but you let her go right fucking now!"

Enrique stared forward at them, he looked at Katie and flashed a smile, he looked back at Bex and Tyler and gave them a reassuring nod.

Katie - Haywood - All Hell Breaks Loose

Lauren came out shouting. Katie had wanted Emma, but Lauren would help too. She knew she would. Despite all she said, she knew Lauren would help her.
Katie shrank back in fear when Lauren started wielding a gun. Why did Lauren have a gun? Guns were bad. Guns hurt people. A gun had hurt Katie.
Then things started to happen too fast.
Lauren was shouting, calling her daddy names.
Her daddy was shouting, saying Lauren was going to shoot Katie.
Then something happened that would forever scar the small child.

It seemed to happen in slow motion. There were shots fired. With each shot, Lauren's body jerked like a puppet. She turned towards Katie as she fell. Katie was looking into her eyes, seeing the shock and pain there, right when her face exploded.
Katie screamed as blooded splattered everywhere, getting on Katie clothes, hair and face.
"LAUREN!!!" she screamed, pulling out of Shannon's now limp grip and running to her fallen friend. "No! No, Lauren!" she started shaking the dead woman. "Come back! Come back!" Laying her head on Lauren's shoulder Katie pleaded and sobbed. "Lauren... Lauren come back... please... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Come back!"

It was all her fault. If she hadn't thrown a fit then Lauren wouldn't have been shot. It was all her fault... all her fault...
"I'm sorry," she cried. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
The words kept spilling from her, she was unable to stop them.
It was all her fault.
Everything was her fault.

She ended up curled in a little ball next to Lauren's body, covered in her blood and rocking back and forth. The child had been through so much in her young life, had made it through things that would break some adults.
But this... to be looking into someone's eyes as they died... this was her breaking point. Seeing the woman who was her friend, who had practically helped raise her, who had saved her in the underground from the monsters and had taken care of her out in the woods...
Katie didn't want to close her eyes. When she did, she kept seeing Lauren's face explode over and over.

Her fault...
All her fault...

Tyler - Haywood

Tyler's mouth went agape at the sight of Lauren's death. It was all he could do to stop himself from smiling. A few of the scouts squirmed at the lone shot being fired, one of them even belting out a "shit!". Beside him, Rudy shook his head. "I don't like this, Thomas. You have to-"

"Katie!" Tyler yelled. His little girl had managed to pull herself out of he woman's grip but was crying herself ragged over Lauren's body. "She was a bad woman, Katie! A bad woman who wanted to hurt you and me!"

The woman who had been holding Katie suddenly sprang forward. In the brief second it took her to hop the car's hood, Tyler saw a knife now suddenly in her hand. He raised his gun to stop her but her foot connected with his face and he fell backwards against the ground. There was grunting and a scuffle before someone said, "Shannon?". Tyler quickly propped himself by the elbow and aimed his gun at the woman, but he paused at the sight before him; Rudy was on his feet, his one hand out to stop Enrique and his other awkwardly aiming a rifle at the woman. The woman's arms fell limp at the sight of him. "Oh my God," she muttered.
Shannon - Haywood

This wasn't real. This wasn't real.

"Danny?" She wasn't sure when she dropped the knife, but she found her hand empty as it reached toward the boy before her. His own eyes were wide with-- Oh, God. It was him. It was really him. He looked weary and tired, the bags under his eyes slightly bigger than usual. His hair was a mess and he looked a lot skinnier than she remembered. But it was most definitely him. "Dan. Danny." She couldn't think, could barely form words. How could he possibly be alive? How could he possibly be here? "I don't understand," she said, her hand stopping inches from his face. Danny blinked and tried to speak, but nothing came out. Instead, he dropped his gun and pulled her into a hug, though all Shannon could do was hang limply in his arms. "You're not real."

Danny shook his head. "You're crying," he whispered. "Sorry."

"Rudy?" Tyler said. "What are you doing?" He stood up and aimed his gun at them. "You know this woman?"

Danny gave her a small squeeze before breaking the hug. He turned to Tyler, confusion apparent on his face. "What's going on?" he asked. "Is your name even really Thomas? Fucking hell, man, what's going on?"

Tyler could only stare. "They know me as Tyler, okay? I used a different name when they knew me, but that doesn't change anything. They have my daughter. They took her--"

"Not Shannon. I'm not doing this, Thomas. I don't care anymore." Shannon felt Danny push against her, trying to block her from Tyler. "This is all messed up."

Staring indignantly, Tyler nodded his head. "Then she can come with us. But I'm not leaving without my daughter."

For a moment, nothing could be heard but the sound of Katie sobbing. Slowly, Danny reached over and took Shannon's hand. "Then we go. Right now. Fuck, you deal with this without me, Tom."

Damn him and his bleeding heart, Shannon thought. Grunting, Shannon pulled out of Danny's grip and went for the gun he dropped. She heard him shout and felt his hand try to grab for her, but she could not stop herself. Tyler had to be taken down, no matter the cost.

Alex Clark - Haywood - Jessalyn/Riley/Audrey

What was he stupid. Ofcourse they didn't want his help. They were raiding the place like bandits, and now he expected them to let him help a pregnant woman? He walked outside the room with the woman again, and saw his gun on the floor. He picked it up, and realized that he could hardly stand guard here. If anyone, be it a local or someone from the Outpost would see him, he'd be screwed. The locals'd probably shoot him at sight or shoot him after realizing he 'imprisoned' that pregnant woman, while anyone from the Outpost would wonder why he was guarding a random door and go inside. On the other hand, could he really leave this pregnant woman unprotected? The man had looked sturdy enough to help, but he was needed as a doctor. He couldn't leave these people alone. Footsteps drove his mind into overdrive, and he gave a silent knock to the door as a warning to be quiet.

His teammember had come looking for him, wondering why Alex hadn't shown up on the other side of the building as planned. Damn him, thought, as his mind raced to an explanation why he was standing awkwardly infront of this door. "Hey, what's going on?" The guy asked, his rifle pointing at the ground as soon as he recognized Alex. Ofcours he noticed something was wrong. He was pale, shivering and obviously shocked. How could he get out of thsi situation without getting these people caught? "Alex? Everything allright?" The man asked with a growing suspicion. Flashing through his mind were several possible actions, but he didn't like either of them. He couldn't go on killing this guy, he didn't even remember his name, just to protect these people, right? "Alex...?"

"T-T-There's... crawlers inside..." He muttered, stumbling over the simple words, and sought some support against the wall. "T-they didn't notice me... B-but it's ... it's a pregnant walker and ..." He continued, praying his words would convince the man not to look inside. His already upset body was easily swayed into faking nausea, and at a certain moment he doubted wether or not he was faking it. The other guy, winced sympathetically, and looked meaningfully at the door. "Shouldn't we like ... kill them? You know? Put them to rest... I mean, if it's a ... a pregnant crawler..." The guy then hesitantly asked, causing panick to pump Alex' mind into overdrive again. "N-no way! There's too many inside, and we don't know if there's m-more around!" He replied, and then, as he saw how he was convincing the other man, decided to take a bet. "No fucking way that this is a group of bandits man, no fucking way... It's obvious t-this community was breached, and those are fresh fucking crawlers in there... A pregnant fucking crawler man! These could never have been bandits!" He said with desperation in his voice, upon which the other man grabbed his mouth and nodded. "I... I don't know man... I ... I'll go check the other building..." He said, obviously being gripped by nausea aswell.

Once the other guy had left the building Alex let out a loud sigh, thanking whatever was up there for a God that the people inside had been quiet enough to let his bluff work. But now what. He still couldn't keep standing around in here, or could he? Trying to think of a solution he paced around the hallway, and quickly grew frustrated with the situation. How had he gotten himself in amess like this? How had he not seen what Thomas was doing, leading them here to raid these innocent people. Why did he let himself be so goddamn blind? Suddenly however the door behind him opened, startling him to death.

Enrique-Haywood

Enrique began to draw his pistol but Rudy stopped him, he looked at Rudy in awe as he casually approached the woman whom Enrique recognized, only this time she wasn't in a mechanic shop, with a little boy, and a British woman, and another soldier. He rembered being kicked out of a truck, to find his way around, to die as much as they cared. He watched as Rudy hugged her, or Danny as she called him, he and she embraced, and then Thomas drew his gun. Enrique was confused, they called him Tyler, was he Thomas? Was Rudy even Danny? Was anyone ever honest in this world? He looked around and grabbed his pistol from his beltline, he didn't aim at either pair, he didn't want to shoot the woman, nor did he want to aim at his friend Thomas, he simply let his arms hang at his sides.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?" Enrique shouted looking between the two, "WHO THE HELL IS WHO AND WHY CANT WE JUST LEAVE WITH THE GIRL!?"
