Matt held Kat and when Gracie got close enough he managed to wiggle her up into his arms too. "Kat, we are going to reinforce everything. The only reason he got into the kitchen was because he knew Jenna didn't lock that door during the day. Walkers can't get in unless it's wide open and the guards should have seen him. James knew there was a blind spot there that if he hurried he could get through it undetected. We are correcting that. The Guard is outside and they are manning everywhere that could possibly be broken into. I personally fixed the door he set up to distract us. It is secure. You and Grace will be fine here." When she cried about leaving he shook his head. "Baby, we can't just up and go. It's too dangerous out there with babies to up and join the walkers in a race to a possible new home in worse shape than where we are now. This is our home. THIS is where we are staying. There is no way in hell I'm taking two pregnant women into the wild kingdom of walking zombies with a baby. It's not going to happen. God forbid you went into labor out there or Nikki. I might as well serve you to them on a platter.

Matt calmed down and hugged her tighter. "I'll keep you safe baby. I promise that everything is being done." He kissed her and Gracie who was crying because she had no idea why her mommy was crying. He told Gracie to take care of her mommy and put her in Kat's arms. "I have to go back down babe I'll be up later. I love you."

James watched as Nikki came out like normal for her morning jog around the track. She had been doing this every day since she found out she was pregnant. It was obvious that Nikki was nervous she was looking around more and she seemed a little jumpy. James chuckled to himself as he watched her circle the track a second time.

Nikki was uncertain how she was being watched but she felt it. She knew in her heart she was being watched. The stress was not good for her she knew that but she couldn't find a way to de-stress. She went into the gym and Darius went with her if Kyle wasn't with her. Nikki was on edge, James was crazy and vicious. And Vincent....he was a whole other class of batshit crazy.

Nikki had gotten into the shower when she got done with her exercises and suddenly it dawned on her. She hadn't seen Erin. She grabbed her walkie. "Darius, find out if Erin and Haru are still here!" Nikki said. It was a few minutes later before she got her answer and she put her head against the wall of the shower.

"Oh god he got Erin and Haru." Nikki said to herself. She heard familiar laughter and she grabbed her gun and her walkie.

"Bravo Nikki," James said coming out of the maintenance room that adjoined the showers. She had a towel covering her with one hand and the gun in her other one. James leered at her and then he pulled out 8yr old Oppal from behind him. "I made a little friend. He doesn't like the game we are playing though. He said he wants to go play with his other friend."

"Let him go James..." James smiled knowing he had her on this. "Nah, Nikki you gotta come with me and we might take a detour and have some fun ourselves before you go see your baby daddy." The thought made her cringe inside and she looked at Oppal. She had no choice here.

"Get dressed we go and then I'll let him go or he goes out like Jenna."

Nikki visibly paled. She grabbed her gun and walkie and went towards the bench so she could get dressed. She made sure that when she put the walkie down it was broadcasting all over to everyone in security.

"Hurry up Nikki." Oppal saw the knife and started crying and trying to get away. James held him tightly in his grasp though. Oppal screamed as he got cut when he flung his arm. Nikki turned her head to Oppal and saw the expression on James' face. "Not my fault if the kid cuts himself." Nikki looked at where the knife was and her breath caught in her throat.

"Ok, I'll go with you but let him go. James please he is a little boy." Nikki walked slowly towards him. "That is close enough Nikki." Nikki looked at Oppal and tried to reassure him. "It's ok you will go play with Camy in a minute ok?"

Oppal nodded, his tears making trails down his baby face. James tossed her a roll of duct tape. Tape your hands and feet together. Nikki really didn't like this but she taped her feet at the ankles and her hands at the wrists.

"James? Why did you pick the showers to ambush me? Is that because you are such a pervert?" James picked Oppal up and threw him like a rag doll into the lockers. Nikki screamed and the child didn't move. James taped her mouth and tossed her over his shoulder and he walked across the parking lot to the monster and pulled her keys he had lifted from Jenna and drove through the gate with Nikki crying in the backseat.

Kyle woke up, to find Nikki not in bed with him. He wasn't extremely worried. Nikki had that habit of disappearing, not from everyone's view, but she was the leader so she went where she was needed. Kyle sat up straight and looked around. Kyle wondered how he could wake up without waking up Nikki, and she could do the same to him. He goes out in the morning, and she gets all teary eyed. Granted yes Kyle had to tell himself last time he brought almost a horde of walkers to the school, but those are just details. Kyle swore if she went out too, he would really......not do anything because he would melt inside her warm eyes.

Kyle got up and changed into his usual plaid shirt and jacket, with jeans and boots. He grabbed his bag full of party favor bombs, and some other bombs he has been developing on the side. Kyle walked out of his room and shut the door, and immediately got a bad feeling. He did not know what it was but he couldn't help but feel something nasty was around. But Kyle tried to shake it off. Ever since his last little excursion his old army senses have been resurfacing, much to his dismay.

Kyle suddenly heard static from his bag. He reached inside his bag and pulled out his walkie, the one that used to belong to Jenna. He was given the walkie after Jenna died. Noise burst through the walkie and he heard Nikki's and Jame's voices, arguing. Kyle immediately took off, hearing the water in the backround he could only guess they were in the showers. Kyle raced towards the shower area, and cut through the parking lot to get there, when he saw James. He had Nikki. But Kyle was too late. James took off with Nikki in Nikki's vehicle and left Kyle in the dust.

Kyle got on his walkie and was nearly in a panic.

"HELP! JAMES HAS NIKKI! THEY JUST HIGH TAILED IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT"

Darius came out of the front door with an AK and shot at the truck. He knew Nikki would be lying down in the backseat if James had a half a brain. So he aimed for the front seats. James yelled out when one of the bullets hit him in the leg. Matt was up on the roof and ran the length of it and threw a homemade grenade at the truck. It hit the truck and spun out underneath it. When it blew up it took out the two outside back tires on the passenger side.

Matt was on the walkie screaming orders and that's when he found the three guards that were killed. Matt dropped to him knees for about a half a second and he got up and ran to the parking lot and Darius tossed him a set of keys. Matt jumped in and found the vehicle in question on empty. He proceeded to destroy what was left of Nikki's useless car in his rage.

Matt knew about where Vincent's group was he remembered Nikki saying they were in the trailer park on the other side of town.

Kyle ran over to the now destroyed vehicle, and grabbed Matt by the shoulders, trying to make him focus and get out of his rage.

"Matt! Matt stop it! Come on man this is a waste of time! We need to regroup and charge after them! They have Nikki for christs sake!"

"I'm gonna kill the fucker!" Matt called him. "Kyle come on!" Matt yelled over the walkie. "George lock down the school Darius follow me and bring the AK." Matt had stashed Tina's truck across the street in the storage place in case of an emergency. It had a full tank and it was ready to go. He hit the button on his key ring and the truck started up in the storage unit he had parked it in. Matt lifted the door and jumped into the drivers seat.

Kyle ran over to the vehicle and jumped into the passenger seat. Kyle looked at Matt.

"Matt, lets go kick some ass."

Kyle checked over his supplies. He had a full supply of walker bait bombs, firecracker bombs, flare bombs, stink bombs, and a few bombs he had been working on, still in prototype phase. Kyle had his walkie, his combat knife, a lighter, some string, and that was it. But Kyle was eager and roaring to Go.

Nikki and James arrived at the trailer park where this had been planned. Nikki was switched into another vehicle and taken somewhere else. The monster would be found a few minutes later by Matt and Kyle.

When they arrived James was there. Matt said, "Don't kill him til you find out where they took Nikki." Matt ducked into the trailer to look for clues where they might have been headed.Darius stood guard and watched.

Kyle walked in circles, with james following in suit as if they were having a showdown. James was slower than Kyle, from getting shot earlier in the leg.

"James......normally this is the part where I smile, I crack wise, I make some stupid one liner that everyone rolls their eyes at. I wouldnt care, I would still say something else possibly even dumber than the first thing I said. But I cant do that today. and would you like to know why?"

Kyle rushed forward and grabbed James by his shirt. He picked James up, and slammed him on the ground. And when he spoke he spoke in between every punch he threw at James face.

"MY-WIFE-IS-NOT-HERE"

By the time Kyle finished saying the word wife, James face was a bloody mess. His mouth was fine, but he had a broken nose and two black eyes. Kyle took out his knife and held the tip of his knife against James gut.

"So I am going to give you one chance. Where is Nikki?"

James sputtered something out, blood being coughed into Kyles face. But James eventually gave in, telling Kyle where Nikki was. Kyle's face went expressionless and Kyle plunged his blade into James gut. He twisted the knife inside James', making him scream more, drawing attention to them. Kyle drew the knife out of James and stabbed him in the center of his chest.

Vincent McGarth, Erin McGarth, & Haru Sento

Erin was curled up in a corner with bandages around her wrists and a dark blue bruise on her cheek from the girl's brother. She had received a much simpler punishment then Haru had gotten from Vincent. The young man was almost beaten to death or that's what the youngest sibling had heard from passing guards. The door opened causing her to curl up tighter as someone was thrown inside and the door shifted shut behind them. ” Dumb asses! If you try and touch me again then prepare to taste my fists of fury cause I wouldn't go down without a fight! You heard me!” the young man said as he slammed his foot against the door frame and quietly whimpered in pain afterwards. He shifted to face the wall, only to just now notice the girl due to being separated from each other. ” Erin are you alright? Vincent didn't hurt you did he?” the teenager asked. She didn't answer.

” Why does everyone think that I'm the bad guy? There are people much worse living in this world than yours truly.” the older brother commented as he walked inside. ” I don't know. Maybe it's because you had James kill Jenna which caused a chain reaction to have your sister suddenly develop the taste to be suicidal. Not adding in the fact that you're no better than the one who works for you.” the man seemed to frown at these facts. ” Jenna was an unfortunate event. I had no clue James was such a loose cannon. As for Erin's sudden reaction to her mother figure’s death I wasn't aware that the lighter half would do that.” he mentioned as Nikki was brought in through the back door by Raven. ” You knew that she was unstable that day. You knew that her parents died on her birthday yet you still went with your plan causing Erin to actually try and take her own life because she thought it was better if she was dead.” the young woman curled up even though she was in as already as tight of a ball as she could be. ” No. I wasn't aware of this. If I would have known I would have gotten them sooner but now that they're here together maybe my sister's heart will mend. Even if it is just a small fragment.”

The lighter half lifted her head with tears in her eye at the two men before looking at Nikki. The emotion was foreign to everyone in the room and if not at least the amount and was now showing was. The usual loving emotion which used to been seen inside the young woman's eye was completely gone and replaced by empty space. Her movements was that of a an abused child cowering from their parent causing the older brother to look truly hurt. The man wouldn't know the reason for these reactions from the youngest sibling but Nikki and Haru would due to knowing that she was always taking the pills Matt had given her in order to keep Clara at bay.

"They aren't coming are they..." She sighed before turning back. Right as she began to walk she looked back just as the truck crashed through the gate, bullets and bombs flying at it. She ducked behind a car watching as the men ran past, soon driving away. She looked back at the busted gate. The gate that halted the walkers was breached and the shots from the rifle were sure to bring the horde closer. She hurried herself inside the gate and walked into the school.

Kat hugged Gracie close. It had happened. Nikki was gone. Taken, by the dangerous bastard that had killed Jenna.
Matt had insisted they were safe here. Had promised her. But he had been wrong.
Now that Nikki and his unborn child, not to mention his siblings, were out of harm's way, there was nothing to stop Vincent from coming in here, guns blazing, to kill them all.

It was not going to happen.
Not to her or her baby.

Matt had already left with Kyle to find Nikki, if they didn't get themselves killed in the process. Kat's heart was breaking within her, knowing what she had to do but not wanting to do it, wishing there was another way.
But no matter how much she tried, the same solution kept presenting itself:

She had to leave.

Getting up, she placed a whimpering Gracie on the bed and dug until she found a pen and paper. She wasn't going out like last time. This time she was going to let Matt know.



With a heavy heart, Kat placed the note on the bed. Getting a bag she packed a few clothes but left a majority of things as a clue for Matt. Where she was thinking of going was a Walmart on the other side of the city. It would not be easy to get there, especially with a baby, but she would manage as she always had.
Kat shouldered the bag and balanced Gracie on her hip. She would borrow a gun from the armory and maybe a blade or two. She didn't want to go to the kitchen, without Jenna there it seemed wrong, but she knew she'd have to grab at least a few food supplies.

Going out of the room, she made her way down the halls quietly, praying no one saw her and asked questions or worse tried to stop her.

Nikki Hishamie, Vincent McGarth, Haru Sento, Erin McGarth
Colab between @Wick & @Demonic Angel

Nikki listened and the man who had carried her inside pulled the tape off of her mouth. She was listening to Vincent and Haru arguing about Erin who in Nikki's opinion looked terrible. Nikki interrupted him and said. "Take this tape off of me..” Her feet were still taped together and she started to fall over and was immediately moved to the couch. The man, whose name she hadn't heard yet looked to Vincent for approval on removing the tape.

Vincent didn't do anything at first. His mind was wondering if she would run and save herself but then again that wasn't like the woman. " We can untie you but I must ask that you stay put." he said calmly as he went and whispered something into the man's ear before dismissing both Raven and the guy. The guy walked over and untaped Nikki. " There we go. I'm sorry for the sudden kidnapping but I was afraid that Matt would deny me visiting hours."

Nikki got up and went to Erin on the floor purposely ignoring Vincent's comment about Matt. "Erin? Are you okay hunny?" Nikki gently but firmly pulled the girl into a sitting position and hugged her. "You are okay. Everything is going to be fine. Vincent doesn't want to hurt us.” Nikki rocked Erin and tried to comfort her. Nikki didn't look at Vincent at all she turned to Haru.

"She has been taking them how long now? Just a few weeks right?" Seeing his nod she looked at Erin's expression. Her eyes were dull and listless and she seemed like she was just a void. There was nothing there. Nikki held her and laid her head on her shoulder.

"Vincent, Erin has been taking medication to get rid of Clara. Erin didn't want it, Clara did and so Clara was taking them. This is a direct side effect. She has withdrawn so far into herself, that coupled with the grief over Jenna's death....Erin is in there but she is lost in her own mind."

" I don't think it's just the medicine Nikki. It might also because her personality has been spilt for so long she doesn't know how to act like a normal person." Haru stated as Erin shivered as if she was cold. Vincent just sighed and walked to the couch and took the blanket off. He walked back over to the two girls and covered them up. " I thought we agreed to give the pills a week?"

"She wouldn't take them. One day out of the blue Clara started taking them." Nikki wouldn't even look at Vincent. She was afraid of what she would see there. "I don't know Haru at this point I would say anything is possible.”

Nikki felt Erin trying to cuddle with her a little and she let her. Sitting on the ground wasn't helping either of them though. "Where is our room?" Nikki asked Vincent. "I think Erin and I should lay down."

Haru shook his head. " I want to change the bandages first." he walked over and slowly removed her arms out of the blanket causing her to flinch. The young man slowly unwrapped them showing the cuts. They were deep enough to cause scarring but not enough to bleed out really fast. " I need alcohol or peroxide. As well as a change of bandages. If doesn't look like she hit anything major. For now on I would advise she not be left alone." Vincent returned with everything the teenager asked for. Erin tried pushing them away only to be held down by her brother as the other male cleaned the wounds.

Nikki scooted to make sure she helped hold Erin and softly spoke to her to comfort her. Erin eased up a little bit. After they were done with her wounds Nikki knew she had to talk to Vincent. "Haru can you take her to where we are sleeping and stay with her?"

After they were alone Nikki looked at Vincent, "Why? why did you take me away from my family. I am needed there. Do you know that today James may have killed an 8year old child to get me here?" By this time Nikki couldn't help the tears, it was that pregnancy crying thing that drove her nuts. "Why is what you want more important than other people's lives?" Nikki backed up from him.

"I am married now. My husband and Matt will make sure they come for me. You aren't going to get away with this."

" That's not funny Nikki. I want our child safe from the dangers out there and I want my sister to be normal once again. Not drugged up like she is right now. I want my family to be together and stay with me and not running around playing super hero to a bunch of delinquents. You could have been killed out there by another group for all anyone knew. I'm not going to risk you getting hurt just because people are playing stupid. Now the three of you are staying here and that's final." the man said in a stern voice. It was obvious that he wasn't moving on this decision.

"What in the world would make you think that you had any say in my life at all? This isn't your baby. It's mine and Kyle's. Even he doesn't try to tell me what to do. It has nothing to do with control it's about Respect! Stay away from me! And if you try to hurt my baby I'll kill you." Nikki said with a determined look in her eye.

Vincent glared at her. " I'm not going anywhere. We both know that your child is ours not yours and some other guy's! I'm trying to protect you and our child from danger and you're acting as if I'm the worst person on Earth! I'm not telling you twice and if you haven't noticed my word is law here!" the man said in anger. There was a knock on the door causing him to breathe in deeply then release it in order to cool his temper. " If not for me then for Erin. She needs you here and I'm unfortunately rather busy keeping my people alive." he said trying to use a different strategy.

Nikki shook her head, "This baby is NOT yours! Why can't you understand that? And as far as I'm concerned YOU ARE the worst person on the planet. What, did you threaten them all into following you? Your sister can not just stop taking her meds cold turkey or it could kill her. You knew she was going on meds. I have a large supply for her at the school but there is no way that she can get them here. If you cared anything for either of us you would take us back and leave us alone."

Nikki looked at him with a combination of anger and regret. Her frustration was obvious and she turned away from him. "Why do you want me when you know I am married now and love someone else?"

" Because I still love you. Please get some rest I need to take care of something and then I'll be." he started to only hear Erin's scream. The man dashed towards the room with Nikki in his heels. He slid inside and slowly walked towards her. " Erin it's just a nightmare. You're safe here. I promise that you're safe." she was curled up in a ball into the corner of the bed. " I swear I didn't do anything to her Nikki. She was asleep and then her eye suddenly snapped open and screamed."

"I know you didn't Haru." She moved around Vincent without touching him at all. "Eye? Which one? Erin's or Clara's?"

" It's still Erin. I've tried everything to have Clara pop out before the day James grabbed us but she's like in a coma or something." the young man stated as the lighter half started to back up and nearly fell off the bed.

"Yeah, the meds work but they take Erin too. We need her meds. She can't come off just like that or it can do serious harm, possibly kill her. Do you by chance have some of them with you?"

" No. I wasn't able to get her out from underneath the table."

Nikki thought a minute and looked around and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from the desk. She wrote a note to Matt. It said,

Matt,
Erin needs her meds to keep Clara at bay. We need to take her off of them. Please give them to Haru.
~N~

She handed the note to Vincent. "That should get her what she needs. Once she is off of them then I am going back home." Nikki walked out the back door and sat on the steps.

Haru walked out of the trailer. His walking was off due to a broken rib and a sore leg. " I understand that you want to go home and all but what about Erin? I mean have you seen her cheek? I'm betting he hit her just because she stayed in the high school." he commented to get Nikki's attention.

Nikki had her hand on her stomach. "Haru, I care a lot about Erin. I really do but my baby and my own life have to take priority. I'm not being mean, just honest. At some point in time Erin or Clara needs to take over and run her own life and take care of herself. If that doesn't happen I'm not sure how long she will make it in this world as bad as it is now." Nikki looked at Haru and shook her head slightly. "You could look a little better yourself."

" Yeah. Teenager meets the devil within big brother was not even close to what I experienced. I understand I just figured I would ask. I noticed something on the table when we arrived but I couldn't get a good look at it. I suppose it may be concerning the school." Haru said as he placed the note back into Nikki's hands. " Get outta here and never come back. You need to stay in the high school. You need to forget about us and tell everyone to stay away." he said in a very serious voice.

"Haru that is much easier said than done. I have no idea where we are. I have no weapons, I'm pregnant and Erin needs these meds so she can come off of them properly, she could have a stroke or worse without them!"

" We don't need you. We don't need help. I can help her without any help." he said harshly. It was all a lie but he needed Nikki in a safe place that way they could distract the mobster. He placed a set of keys in her hand as well as the razor blade Erin had used. " It's an old style razor blade but it should work and I managed to swipe these off of a guard. Now get going."

Nikki looked at the keys and it had a Chevy emblem on it. There were only 2 chevy's on the lot and one of them was missing a hood and a roof. She got up and ran to the truck and once inside it she backed it up and hit the gas. She rammed into the other two cars on the lot making them undriveable. Once she got out to the road she hit the gas hard.

What the girl didn't know was that Vincent had another team waiting for someone to attempt to escape. They were careful and shot one of the tires causing a flat. They quickly had the two cars drive on both sides and then made them come side by side forcing Nikki's truck to stop. One of the men held a gun up and told her to get in their car. When she did the drove back to the camp and locked her inside with Haru and Erin.

Blitz padded towards the showers she had been looking for Oppal along with Camyllia. Camyllia had packed to leave when they heard about Jenna dying Oppal had gone to get a drink. When the word about Nikki getting kidnapped along with two others got out Camyllia went looking for Oppal.
Finally when Blitz had caught his sent and something else. She whimpers and runs back towards where Camyllia was calling for Oppal. Blitz circled around the teens legs letting out whimpers and whines.

"What is it girl?" Camyllia asks. When Blitz bolted down the hallway where the showers are Camyllia couldn't help but feel dread twist in her stomach and made a mad dash down the hall. Coming to the entrance of the showers Camyllia held her breath as she opened the door.
Blitz came by making her way towards what Camyllia could assume was Oppal. She followed her dog without hesitation wanting to find the boy. But when she came around the corner she feels her stomach tighten into a permanent knot. Laying on the ground by the lockers was Oppal.

"O-oppal?" She whispers rushing over to the little boy kneeling next to him. He looked wrong feeling his neck..there was no pulse."o-oh n-n-no...O-Oppal..."

Blitz whimpers nudging Oppals head licking it. Camyllia felt tears start to sting her eyes she looked at the little boy. He looks so at peace it almost scary how asleep he looked. She put her head on his chest...no heart beat and no pulse."Damn it." Her dog growling made her come back to reality. She has to stab him in the head or else he comes back. Letting out a sigh she looks at Blitz.

"Fetch knife." She commands the dog. Blitz hesitates before bolting out of the showers and leaving Camyllia alone with Oppal. Blitz came back not to much longer later with the knife that Camyllia had taken from the armory to give to Oppal. The dog padded over to the teen and put the Knife down.
Camyllia grabbed the blade unsheathing it she lays Oppal on the floor using her leg as a pillow for him to use. She felt his neck again for a pulse...nothing. She take the knife and quickly stabs the boy in the head before pulling it out.

---

A little bit later Camyllia had finished packing her stuff and had given one of the mothers here Oppal clothing. She didn't want to leave some boy cloth-less...at least Oppal wouldn't want that. Camyllia had buried Oppal out side in the field with a couple of the guards with her and Blitz. Camyllia had cried when she came back inside and changed out of her clothes from before and was in "fresher" clothes. Feeling numb she decided she didn't want any part of the right now. Being there bugged her and made her feel like she was about to go mad. Leaving some clothes behind she made her way to her door silently and opened it.

"C'mon Blitz lets get outta 'ere before I lose it." She says almost dry heaving.

The dog whimpers before making her way out of the door and Camyllia following her closing the door.

Sadie Hill

Sadie and Micky didn't know what to do. So many horrible things had been happening recently. What were they suppose to do. Alex seemed to take anything that happened in full stride not letting it affect him. Sadie and Micky however didn't know how to handle the situation. Alex had told them at one point that if things got to bad that they'd be leaving as soon as things were clear. Sadie and Micky were both scared that they'd be leaving after the news of Jenna's death, but so far nothing. The two sat quietly within their room until they heard a noise from the hall. Both looked at each other and slowly got up. Sadie poked her head out the door to see Kat and Gracie walking down the hall with considerable amount of gear. Sadie and Micky quickly walked out the door and down the hall to Kat and said, "What's going on? What are y'all doing? I thought we were suppose to stay in our rooms?"

Matt grabbed some maps that were marked and he found what looked like a plan for the school without any details.

"Shit!" Matt said. "Darius, Kyle. Come on we have to go back."
Kyle lifted his knife out of James chest and held it mid air. Kyles eyes were slightly unfocused, he just kept thinking about how he just fulfilled his promise to Nikki. Kyles breathing was heavy, his arms were shaky, and he realized this was his first real kill in a long time. Kyle snapped back in to focus, realizing he still needed to cross off Vincent and keep his other promise to Nikki.

"Matt," Kyle said speaking slightly loud ,"I know where Nikki is at. They are at an old trailer park not too unimaginably far from here."

"That's great but we have to go back to the school. This looks like an attack plan of some kind and He busted through the gate and with all the noise the walkers are inside the fences and we are down three guards. I hate to say it but we'll have to come back for Nikki." He saw the look on Kyle's face.

Kyles face grew became a face of outrage when he heard what Matt had said. Kyle flipped his knife and in one swift motioned grabbed it by the handle and sheathed he, but he kept his hand on it. Kyle got up and walked over to Matt accusingly.

"Come back? Come back? No we are not going to "Come back" for Nikki. Its an entire school full of zombie killing machines, I am pretty sure they can handle this without the three of us. But Nikki has been captured by a psychopath. That would call for our immediate attention, no?"

Kyle pointed his finger at Matt

"What would you do if it had been Kat, or Grace? Wouldnt you risk everything to save them?"

Matt nodded hesitantly. "You are right. Let's go." Darius jumped in back and Matt and Kyle got in and Matt headed them off towards the other trailer park. It was about 15 minutes away outside of town.

Ingrid opened the door and snuck in closing it behind her. She looked at Nikki. "Are you the pregnant one?" Nikki nodded. "Are you okay? I saw what they did. Did they hurt you or the baby?" Nikki was surprised at the young woman's questions. No one around here had seemed to notice much else but how to hop around and do whatever Vincent said. Ingrid thought Vincent was wrong and she was going to help Nikki any way she could. "I think we are okay." Nikki said watching her carefully.

Ingrid left the room and she went outside to see where everyone was at. She counted the guards and brought them more booze. Laughing and encouraging them to drink she got them playing cards. When Vincent made an appearance she laughed at something and asked him to come play cards with them. "Vincent! Come and play cards with yer crew."

@Demonic angel

Vincent McGarth

Vincent looked at Ingrad. This woman had appeared about 30 days ago give or take and seemed to love a pain in the ass. The main reason he had taken her in was because the woman was Irish as well as a good fighter unlike most of these people here. Yet something in the back of his mind screamed that something wasn't right. Like the girl knew something that he didn't. ” I would if I had the time. You see my sister needs my attention right now or have you forgotten about her suicide attempt? As for the rest of you need I remind you that we have a certain amount of time to keep the safe zone in check?”

@Demonic Angel




Ingrid dealt herself out of the game and ran after Vincent. "Aye, she did and she is a little better. I checked on her earlier." She followed him inside and asked him. "Can I ask ye a question?" When he looked at her she said "Why d'you want a girl who is married to another man." His expression made her step back only a second. "I noticed the ring on her hand. I thought you said she was your girlfriend but I'm thinking that isn't so true." She teased him a little. "So, why her? There are others, some of them here in the area that would love to be with you." In her mind she could picture the little girl he kept tossing out of his trailer. She smiled at Vincent hoping she came across as curious and nonthreatening.

Vincent smiled as he placed his hand underneath Ingrid’s chin and gently lifted her head. ” My dear sweet lady. Never ever check up on Erin's health without my permission again. You may have become Raven's friend during your time here and I am really thankful for that yet you seem to be forgetting something. I am the one who decides who can and can't live here. As for Nikki I would like you to never speak of this subject again.” the man gave a cold smile as his cold eyes looked at her’s.@Wick

Ingrid smiled cautiously pretending to be a little tipsier than she was. "I'll remember that for certain. I'd still think the others would like to play you at cards one day. Please feel free to join us whenever you wish ta play. I better get back to my game b'fore they take my winnings." She said smiling the whole time."Night!"

Vincent McGarth

” I'm glad we understand each other Ingrid. As for the game I'm afraid that won't be possible for a while.” he said in his native tongue. ” Goodnight.” the man watched the girl leave before groaning. He walked to his trailer and walked inside. The lights in the living room was flipped on before he walked out using the back door. The purpose was to make people think that Vincent was there when in reality he wasn't.

The man walked for a while before finally finding what he was looking for. The bus was painted to match the background and floral around it. It would be hidden and far away from the camp so no one but those who he trusted would know where it was. Each person had a specific thing to do just like James’s job was to blow up the school's fense in order to get Nikki and now the second thing was being done at this moment. A groaning caught his attention as he watched as one of the men kicked a walker forward to the bus. ” Everything is coming together.”@Wick

~ Trailer Park to the high school~

The bus had left by the back roads in order not to alert the drunken guards which struggled to stay awake. With the new paint job and the cover of night the man in the front seat had the upper hand though for some reason his heart wasn't quite into this as it should have been. The guy knew that Vincent wasn't all good, not since his own daughter had been threatened to be killed if he didn't do this, which had shown his true colors. Though he would have loved to learn how the leader had found out about him allowing the teenager to swipe the knife and key without noticing. The truth was the older man had but decided that it was for the nest that the three escaped. Now his hopes and prayers were of Ingrid getting them out of there safe and sound.

The bus slammed through the walkers on the streets with ease which made the person's heart sink. When the high school came into view he could faintly see what looked like people out in front. He knew that he was supposed to die not matter what so why become a killer in your final hours? The man knew that his daughter wouldn't have wanted this. [I]” Why kill when you can help those in need? Wouldn't that make more sense than to rob from others and hope and pray that they will just help you without even the slightest chance of getting anything.”[/color] When the high school came into view he had decided to help. Drive into the fencing while honking should get the undead to turn towards the bus, then the driver could turn the wheel to the right and circle around, and drive out leading most if not all the walkers with him. So that's what he did.

The bus went straightforward and blaired the horn catching what seemed to be most of the walker's attention, some were splattered from trying to stop the bus, others just shifted their way towards the person inside. The zombies in the homemade cages were slamming against the fencing while placing their hands outward trying desperately to grab his long hair. One nearly had it forcing the bus to just add to the need of repair but also taking out more walkers before disappearing in the distance. The vehicle had crashed miles away from its target and the man inside was eaten but the walkers inside. This must have been the survivors lucky day because the horn was still blairing catching in more oncoming walkers from the north side.

Ingrid was supposed to be out guarding the southern side of the gate. She had managed to sneak a small knife to Nikki so she could get untied. There were no distinguishing marks on it to say where it came from. Ingrid had then told Nikki to open the door with the knife and get to the southern side of the building. Ingrid was supposed to be on guard duty so she had to pick her time carefully to get Nikki out or she was going to have to deal with Vincent and his lackeys.

Ingrid waved at one of the other guards when he passed her and hoped Nikki could get to the meeting place.

Jon laid atop the adjacent building from Vincent's hideout. Since Jenna's death he had taken his best guard and gone straight after loose ends which may have led to him, a few led to dead ends but in the end it came down to following one of his men back to a hideout. For the last day he had been watching the groups movements and routines from his position. His fellow guardsman Nick had been noting down the movements and the guard shift changes before setting up his rifle with a scope and a suppressor he had stole from the Armed Forces base after the outbreak.

Everything was looking bright for the attack on his base.

Ingrid hesitated a moment when her shift change came and there was no Nikki. Backtracking she pretended she had lost something trivial and was looking for it. She got back to the place where Nikki Haru and Erin had been locked up. Nikki had gotten out and part of the way to the meeting place. One of the guards had seen her and she was caught again. This time one of them backhanded her so hard across the face that it knocked her out.

When Ingrid inquired about the girl being gone from her room her good friend Arthur told her about Nikki's latest adventure. Ingrid knew who that guy was and she also knew that Vincent would be likely to have him killed for hitting Nikki. She had some down time so she went outside of the wall to clear her mind. Killing zombies was mind numbing and right then she felt like crap for getting Nikki punished.

There was a four step plan to Jon's plan of attack. Step one was to cause a distraction while the shift changes occurred to trigger a surge of guards to exit the building to deal with the problem. Step two involved sharpshooter Nick making sure the guards don't go back inside. Step three allowed Jon to go make sure any prisoners Vincent was holding were set free. The fourth and final step would be the most important. Send a message. Its all this was about. This wasn't about killing Vincent, this was more than that. This would serve as a reminder that should he try anything like that again, his head would find itself atop a spike.

There were no guards on duty at the moment, so step one was put into action. A Molotov Cocktail was tossed into a trash can in the alleyway next to the building and one was thrown into the piles of trash outside the front windows. As they began to consume more and more matter Jon snuck back to the shadows.

Ingrid heard something, it wasn't a walker. She darted quickly and quietly towards the noise. She was hoping for something entirely different from what she found. She ended up running almost headfirst into Jon.

Jon fell backwards landing flat on his back. As soon as he saw that another person had ran into him he immediately went into defense mode. He grabbed the ankles of the girl in front of him and dragged her to the ground. He quickly put his hand across her mouth and put a finger across his own. "I don't want you to speak, nod or shake your head to answer, got it?"

Ingrid could not believe the eyes she was looking at but at the same time he was already bossing her around. She wasn't likely to have any of that.

"Do you know the man who owns this building and the people inside it?" Jon whispered making sure not to break eye contact.

"Yes I do and he is evil. You can see it in his eyes." She whispered.

Jon's eyes widened, her voice... it was magical. He shook himself back into reality. "You dont work for him, do you?"

"Not exactly, I befriended his sister Raven and so I get to live here and I help guard as an assigned job of living here. He has taken over and everyone is blind and just does as he tells them to. I'm not blind. I see what he really is. Who are you? Why are you here asking me questions?"

"My name is Jon Carter. I'm here to avenge my... Friend." He whispered, trying not to choke on his words.

Nikki woke up with a thundering headache. Her face felt like it was on fire. She remembered that she had taken a hard backhand that knocked her into a concrete wall and that had knocked her out. The spot she had hit on her head was a goose egg and it was even a little bloody. Great a concussion, just what she needed. She had made a decision when she found out she was pregnant. Fighting walkers the same way she had was fine but fighting the living meant that she would get hit in the stomach so she would block if she could but she would rather acquiesce than lose her baby. Nikki could barely see out of her left eye. She felt it and the tears started to come all on their own from the pain.

Nikki started to feel severe cramping in her stomach. Her yelling brought a guard that took one look at her and cursed. "Shit Vincent is not going to like this." Nikki passed out and the guard saw the blood from between her legs. He grabbed her and carried her to Vincent's trailer and went to find someone who could help her.
