Nikki hopped out of the truck ignoring the fear in Kat's voice. [color=f49ac2]"I can't leave him. He is all I have left and Grace needs her daddy."[/color] She said as she took off running back towards the horde.

Out of the field burst a 1967 Impala. It landed right in front of her with no time to stop. Nikki literally jumped onto the hood and slid across it to keep from running into it.  The door popped open and this guy leaned over. Nikki picked herself up off of the ground and she pulled her gun just in case.

[color=8493ca]"Come on, you wanna stay here and die? Get in."[/color] Chris said.

Nikki looked up and the walkers that had split off and followed the truck was almost here. She looked at the car and saw a girl in the backseat that was telling her to hurry. Nikki looked at the man in the front seat and her stomach did flip flops. Still untrusting, she climbed into the car and shut the door. [color=f49ac2]"Follow the truck please."[/color] 

At this point she could hardly see the point of driving through the horde when she had no idea where Ethan was or if he was even alive. Tex had started driving again and the car followed. Nikki looked at Chris and his sister. [color=f49ac2]"You almost ran me over."[/color] She made sure that he saw her gun on her lap. She had on her trenchcoat so he had no idea he was sitting next to a small arsenal. [color=f49ac2]"I was going to go look for my... my brother. We left as the horde reached us. I thought he was in the front of the truck but he wasn't. I had just watched our friend die. I can't help but worry I won't see him alive again."[/color]

Nikki caught a few glances at the man driving the car. [i]Damn He is a hunk![/i] The irony of it all, physical attraction still did it's part to complicate things she thought. He was older than she was by quite a bit but age was never a problem for Nikki. She liked older men. His sister was chattering in the backseat but Nikki wasn't paying attention to what she was saying. 

Nikki adjusted her coat and her sword became visible. It was laying on the seat under her coat and thusly it was laying painfully against her thigh and poking her in the calf. [color=f49ac2]"I'm Nikki...Nikki Hyatt of Dana Point. Who are you guys?"[/color]
