Alex really didn't understand why Clara was climbing to the top of the van until Haru told him. Still didn't think it was necessary but OK. After leaving the school they only drove a few minutes. The main issue of leaving so late in the day. With the sun down they couldn't go anywhere because Ollie forgot to check if the van's headlights were working. Alex could have done it, but he didn't. He told the other to to get some rest because he was planning on moving at sunup.

Alex didn't actually go to sleep though. He had gotten use to going on a low amount of sleep. Actually it was more like he forced his body to rather than got use to it. It was one of the ways he trained at night when within the school. Anytime he almost feel asleep he would leave his room and run a lap through the halls and smack himself in the face with a wet rag. He doesn't think anyone knows about it, but he can't be to sure.

Anyway to occupy his time he searched the van and found a random book under one of the seats. He eyed it and then checked to make sure his team was sleeping. He really didn't desire them knowing he had discovered a sappy romance novel let alone he had started reading it. He grabbed his lighter from his bookbag and would switch from reading the book to scoping the area. Only twice during the night did a walker show up. He dispatched each of them with his new knife. No need to get the katana bloody. Other than that and his enjoyment of the book nothing really happened that night.

Just before the sun started coming up Haru was moving around and waking. Alex quickly hid the book back where he found it before the boy completely woke up. Alex returned to his position and watched the horizon for one of two things. Survivors or the horde. Haru had fully gotten up know and went to wake Clara. Next thing Alex knew Haru was on his back right beside him. [color=cyan]"My opinion. If love hurts, either don't do it or get some padding. Cause the way I see it, your gonna be hurtin' a lot."

"Sure. Let's eat."[/color] Putting the rifle aside and taking the Kit-Kat without even caring why or how they had candy he savored the taste. He hadn't had chocolate in a long time. Maybe about ten months. He always gave the treats to Sadie or Micky but seeing as they weren't there he indulged in the snack. [color=cyan]"To answer your question, Clara, I'm just watching the landscape. Main reason we out here is to help survivors from Dana Point. Gotta make sure they ain't hostile but also can't let 'em die. It'd also be nice to figure out about how big the horde was when it hit them."[/color]

Alex jerked his head slightly to the van as if to say, [i]"Let's move."[/i] But as he started moving to the driver's side all three of thier walkies sparked to life, [color=cyan]"Huh, that's wier-"[/color] Alex's voice was cut off by that of a little girl. A Dana Point survivor? Alex quickly grabbed his walkie and spoke through it, [color=cyan]"Hello. Camyllia. Don't be scared. This is Alex. I am a member of a group of survivors at San Clemente. We are looking for Dana Point survivors. Is it true a Walker horde hit yal?"[/color] Looking back to Haru and Clara, [color=cyan]"Alright. This could be a survivor. Let's hope she is telling the truth and that we can help her."[/color]
