Vincent carried Nikki into the bathroom with a frown on his face and a red cheek. He felt horrible for what just happened and now wished he could take it all back. He set her down and help her get cleaned up while deciding on what to say or even do at this point to make whatever happened better. [Color=orange]" I'm sorry Nikki. I'm such an idiot for bringing you here in the first place without thinking that something like this could happen. I'll have Ingrid rush you to the... No you would have to stay here due to that. What do I do?"[/color] he mumbled underneath his breath.

Nikki was brokenhearted and said [color=f49ac2] If I lose this baby because of you and your selfishness...I'll never forgive you. Don't touch me."[/color] Nikki kicked him out of the bathroom.

He couldn't place his thoughts in order like normal. Especially with the blood that could be a sign of a miscarriage. In every way the man knew he had acted like a child trying to get their way on this while throwing a tantrum until the thing was given to him. The only way he could ever make things right was taking Erin and leaving the state with his tail stuck in between his legs like a whipped dog. The guy's head went side to side as he tried so hard to think of how to correct this mistake.

Ingrid had heard what was going on with Nikki and she snuck into the back door armed with knives and her anger alone. Once inside she pushed past Haru, Erin and Raven. Vincent was the one standing outside the bathroom door and she could hear Nikki yelling at him from the other side. [color=a2d39c] "Nikki it's Ingrid. I'm coming in."[/color] When Ingrid opened the door Nikki was standing there barely on her feet and holding onto the wall and the sink. She grabbed her before she were to fall.

Kyle, Matt, and Darius parked their vehicle a few miles away from the trailer park that housed Vincent. Kyle had wanted to drive straight into the trailer park, basically guns blazing, but Matt's cooler head prevailed. He convinced Kyle that having the element of surprise was the key in rescuing Nikki, and that who knows if they will even be able to see Nikki if they cause too much ruckus. Kyle calmed down, and agreed to Matt's plan. Kyle, Matt, Darius hopped of their vehicle and walked the last few miles, crouching as they got closer.

Kyle's nerves of steel served him well, as he silently dispatched any walkers that crossed their path. Kyle was surprised, using walkers as a guard system. It was not like no one had ever thought of it before, but Kyle has never seen a place who used that kind of thing live very long. Kyle smiled to himself. Thinking that the odds of Vincent beating those odds were slim. Kyle and his group moved forward, as they started walking on the cement, Kyle took one step and then jumped back knocking into Matt and Darius. They hid behind one of the trailers, hoping no one heard them. When Kyle started walking on the pavement, he started making a squeaking sound with his feet with every step. One guard, only slightly armed, came to investigate the noise. When the guard got into their range, Kyle dashed forward grabbing the man from behind. Kyle covered the mans mouth and roped his arm around him so he could not use his arms. Matt and Darius helped him and they brought him back behind the trailer. When they set him down, Kyle brought his knife to the guards throat.

[color=0054a6]"So Hi! My name is Kyle. It seems as if Vincent might have something of mine. some things actually. So be a lamb and tell us where Vincent is."[/color]

The guard shook his head. [color=ed145b]"No the man will kill me if I do."[/color] The guy's eyes widened as he felt the blade slice him a little bit. [color=ed145b]"Vincent may be with his sister and brother or may be with Nikki. I'm pretty sure that he's with Nikki because of what happened.[/color]"

Matt put a little pressure on the guy with a blade to his gut. [color=00aeef] What do you mean? What happened to Nikki?"[/color]

Kyles eyes widened. He grabbed the man by the throat, and lowered his knife to the mans privates.

[color=0054a6]"Hey new friend. Got another question,"[/color] Kyle asked smiling dangerously, [color=0054a6]"What happened to Nikki? Oh and before you think of saying you cant say, and before you think of saying you cant tell me where they are SPECIFICALLY, just know Nikki is my wife."[/color]

[color=ed145b]"His trailer. They will all be at his trailer. Erin tried to commit suicide that same day the two siblings arrived. Nikki is bleeding last time I knew. I swear that's all I know."[/color]

[color=0054a6]"Your so nice. Thank you so much mister man!"[/color]

Before Matt or Darius could intervene Kyle let go of the man, raised his knife, and slashed the mans thoat. Kyles face was covered by the blood of the dead man. After the guards eyes lost all of their light, Kyle laid the man down and closed the guards eyes. Kyle took the mans weapons, a small knife and the mans personal machete. Darius tried to protest to killing the man, and stealing his weapons but Kyle refused to listen. But Kyle realized something important.

[color=0054a6]"Goddamnit I forgot to ask him where Vincent's trailer is."[/color]

Kyle mentally face palmed himself and was the recipient of many sighs and stares from Matt and Darius. Kyle and his group tried their best to stay off the cement, making their way around the trailer park examining every trailer they came across. Kyle killed many guards along the way, about four or five by his count from what he could remember. Finally after a long search and much anticipation, they found Vincent's Trailer. It was the only one with a girl acting sick out front. Kyle realized it was Erin. Kyle tried his best to sneak past Erin and get inside, much to the protest of Matt and Darius.

Josh reacted first drawing out his gun before Raven lowered it. She was becoming tired of all the fighting and the things Vincent began to do once more. The girl pointed at Matt then at Erin, said telling him to stay with her sister, then pointed at Kyle and walked inside leaving the door opened. [color=ed145b]"She wants you to follow her. I know she wants your friend to stay but it's best you just grab Nikki and get out of here."[/color] The guy said turning his attention but to the youngest sibling.

Kyle, surprised at this unforeseen turn of events, shrugged at the man then followed the women inside. Before he entered however he considered killing the man. He obviously meant to hurt them, and would have threatened them if the woman had not intervened. Kyle was still in full army mode and in a blood frenzy, but Kyle resisted the urge. He could kill him later, after he took care of Vincent, and that woman. Kyle followed the woman inside stopping behind her.

[color=0054a6]"Ok what now?"[/color]

Raven grabbed a piece of paper and wrote on it. [color=f26522]"Don't kill Vincent. He's the only one we have. Not to mention that it should be Clara who should kill the monster he has become inside."[/color] She walked to the bathroom while he read it and came back with Vincent carrying Nikki. [Color=orange]" She's bleeding and I'm not sure why that is. I was stupid to take her from the high school and will never do it again. In fact my sisters and I are leaving the country tonight so please take Nikki and be a better man then I was."[/color]

Ingrid angrily looked at Vincent then at Kyle. [color=a2d39c] "Are you her husband?"[/color] When he nodded she said. [color=a2d39c]  "I heard her call for you earlier. She might be losing the baby. We need to get her medical attention right now!"[/color]

Kyle was at a loss for words. He had no idea what to say or think. This was his first time meeting Vincent and after hearing so much about him and after Nikki being kidnapped....he had assumed he was someone who would be easy to kill. Kyle, bloody knife in hand and still half showered in blood, walked over to Vincent. In one quick motion Kyle took Nikki from Vincent.....and buried his knife into Vincent's right shoulder. Kyle stood there as Vincent backed away and hit the wall behind him, slowly falling to the ground in pain. Kyle then walked over to Vincent and began kicking and stomping him with his right foot. Kyle kicked Vincent in the face, stomped his foot against his chest, and finished by slamming his foot against Vincent's left kneecap breaking his left leg. Kyle then took a few steps back, and looked at the women.

[color=0054a6]"If it was not for Nikki being hurt I would kill you all. But since Nikki needs help I am going to do something for you. I am going to give you a chance. Scribble this down on your little paper. Was it James or Vincent who killed Jenna?"[/color]

Raven glared at him as she wrote down something. It was about to be shown until Erin's voice answered in a croak. [Color=skyblue]" James did it Kyle. Vincent was no where near the school."[/color] she said before being grabbed by Haru and then turned. She was starting to get sick once again. [Color=yellow]" He practically threw the fact in our faces."[/color] he said truthfully.

Kyle sighed and closed his eyes. When he opened them his eyes were full of nothing but anger and hate.

Ingrid looked at Kyle, [color=a2d39c] "No worries, I am not alone. The others and I will meet you back at the school." [/color]

[color=0054a6]"I fullfilled my promise to Nikki then. I killed James if you didnt know. Kinda went ape shit on his chest with a knife."[/color]

Kyle looked over and laughed at Vincent.

[color=0072bc]"Actually the knife I used was that one. Ironic huh? So since im such a nice guy, here is what I will do. I will spare Vincent's life today, as well as your life,"[/color]Kyle said looking at the women, [color=0054a6]"And your life as well!,"[/color]Kyle said loud enough for the man outside,[color=0054a6]"But let me warn you now. If I ever see any one of you assholes again, if you ever come near my school again, If you ever come into contact with Nikki or anyone else from my school again I wont be nearly as merciful. I will hunt you down and kill all of you."[/color]

Kyle turned around and started to walk out of the door, but stopped halfway through.

[color=0054a6]"My name is Kyle Hishamie. I belonged to 1'st Battallion, 71'st infantry unit, United States Army. You stole my wife Nikki Hishamie, pregnant with MY child. Not by blood, but the blood father lost all parental rights. Do not forget my name, do not forget my face. And Vincent, know that you were beaten by someone you had no chance of winning against.[/color]"

Kyle walked outside, and motioned Matt and Darius to follow him. 

Ingrid rushed to the back of the truck and told Darius to stand guard with the AK. [color=a2d39c] Be careful who you shoot others from the school are out here fighting too."[/color]

Matt rushed up to Kyle and Nikki. [color=00aeef]"Let's go, put her in that truck I acquired a minute ago. The guy I got it from was fairly insistent that I take it."[/color] Matt said covered in blood. As soon as Matt was in the back of the truck he took a quick look at his sister and the amount of blood. Matt looked extremely concerned. [color=00aeef] "We gotta go NOW Kyle."[/color]

Haru glared at Vincent while Erin finished. He quickly picked her up and followed after Kyle. The teenager knew that they most likely didn't have a home once again but anyway was better then here with a man who would hit his own sister. The young man stopped by the car and watched Nikki be loaded up. [Color=yellow]" I hope that Nikki will be alright Kyle. Since this was originally our fault and I'm pretty sure that we are no longer allowed to be at the school I would like to say thank you and goodbye. It was nice to meet you all and tell Alex Erin will be safe for me."[/color] the girl shivered in his arms showing that something wasn't right. The guy nodded and turn towards the west and slowly started walking away.

Ingrid broke off from the others at that time and she started to attack the other guards. There were others here fighting on Matt and Kyle's side. Matt noticed this right away. He figured that possibly Jon and that other guard he knew was his friend could be here.

Matt looked at the red haired woman and asked her [color=00aeef] "Who are you fighting with? Who is here from the school."[/color] Ingrid bashed another man with the back end of her crowbar who was trying to get to the truck. [color=a2d39c]"I'm helping Jon Carter."[/color] Matt grinned at this, he knew Jon needed closure. [color=00aeef]"Take care of him, he is a good man."[/color] Ingrid grinned a little as she punched yet another and kicked him back into the bushes. "[color=a2d39c] "Aye, I know he is. You can see it in his eyes. Take care of Nikki. We'll see you at the school."[/color]

Kyle had loaded Nikki into the vehicle, as were Matt and Darius, when Kyle sighed and turned towards Haru.

[color=0054a6]"Hey dude! Come back for a second."[/color]

Haru turned. [Color=yellow]" I have a name Kyle and I must go and find Erin's pills before we need to."[/color] the girl shifted out of his grasp before falling down on the ground and coughing hard. He patted her back and helped her back up forcing her to lean on him as they walked to Kyle. [Color=yellow]" What do you want?"[/color]

Kyle rubbed his bloody fingers against his blood covered nose in irritation.

[color=0054a6]"Listen..Erin is obviously not well. And you seem like you care enough about her. Im guessing that you are not that bad of guy. I mean yes I may have threatened to kill you a few moments ago, but in this crazy world why hold that kind of stuff against someone. If you swear you will look after Erin from here on out, as in basically making sure she gets better and stays out of trouble, you can come with us. Why not join our school? I promise if you do you have my word that no one will try to sneakily kill you. PLus....you know keep yout friends close and your enemies closer right?"[/color]

[Color=yellow]" I can't promise to keep Erin out of trouble. Mainly because of Clara and you know how she is Kyle. Not adding in her recent suicide attempt and her last name being McGarth. Her brother will keep coming for her so it's best we leave now. As for the girl's health it's just withdraw from the pills Matt gave her. Now if you don't mind."[/color] The young woman grabbed onto Kyle, giving him a weak hug, then released and slowly got into the car. [Color=yellow]" Thanks."[/color] he said while getting inside. 

Darius rode in the truck bed. Matt and Nikki were in the backseat when Kyle drove them back. Matt raised his head once more seeing Jon and another guy from the school with Ingrid. He smiled for the first time that day. 

Kyle sighed and got into the drivers seat. He buckled up then turned his head to look at everyone. His eyes stopped at Nikki, and his heart skipped a beat. That was when he realized what he had done. Kyle looked himself over in the rear view mirror and saw what a mess he was. He was covered in blood, his hair was a mess, and his eyes had such a terrible look in them. Kyle was instantly ashamed of himself. He had broken every single rule he ever had placed for himself. Kyle shook his head clean of his thoughts, thinking that he would deal with it when they got back. Kyle smiled and laughed.

[color=0054a6]"All right everyone, lets go home. Nikki, hold on we will get you better in no time!" [/color]

Nikki reached for Kyle's hand and squeezed it. [color=f49ac2]"I love you....the baby is, I might be miscarrying." [/color]She said with tears in her eyes.

Kyle leaned over and kissed Nikki's nose, squeezing her hand back, and then started driving back to the school.

Jon nodded to Matt as a bullet whizzed past his ear and embedded itself into the shoulder of the guard attempting to sneak up on him. As more rounds were fired it was clear to Jon that now was his chance to go and find Vincent while Nick cleared up the guards. 

[color=ed1c24]"You know where Vincent is right?"[/color] Jon asked the red head that had decided to stick with him.

[color=a2d39c]"Ya know I do.[/color]" Ingrid pointed to the trailor she had been in not that long ago. [color=a2d39c]"His sisters are in there with him. He said they were leaving the country."[/color] Ingrid made her way to the trailer and went inside while she had the chance. She grabbed up a gun from the floor and checked it's ammo. She kept it ready to fire.

[color=ed1c24]"Oh good, i thought i wasn't gonna get any revenge tonight." [/color]Jon said as he followed Ingrid to the trailer. [color=ed1c24]"VINCENT, GET YOUR COWARDLY ASS OUT HERE NOW!"[/color] He shouted, calling out the despicable shell of a man inside the trailer. [color=ed1c24]"YOU TOOK THE LIFE OF SOMEONE CLOSE TO ME, THERE IS A DEBT TO BE PAID AND I'M HERE TO MAKE GOOD ON THAT DEBT" [/color]

Ingrid came out of the bedrooms. [color=a2d39c]"He isn't here nor are the siblings."[/color] She went over to the front door and the remaining guards and people were running around the camp not knowing how many shooters there were. Ingrid shot the guard that had gotten a little out of line with her earlier that day. [color=a2d39c]"So now what? If he is smart he won't ever be seen again in these parts. Most of his men are bad to the bone but there are a few good ones who are loyal and kind."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"We do what i set out to do. Send a message. Can you round everyone up. From there the message will be made."[/color] He asked the red haired woman by his side. [color=a2d39c]"I never caught your name by the way?"[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"Ingrid Ryan."[/color] She turned to go out but stopped. [color=a2d39c]"What are we going to do with them all?"[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"These loyal guards that you speak of will be given the chance to come and join the garrison at the school but these dirt bags, well we cant let them roam the streets or let them join back up with Vincent."[/color] Jon said, reaching down to grab his radio. [color=ed1c24]"Nick, i need you in the trailer park as soon as possible." [/color]

Ingrid went outside and rounded the group up and divided them into two groups. When Jon went to address them she told him quietly [color=a2d39c]"The good souls are on the right and the devil owns the ones on the left."[/color] Ingrid stood beside him.

Jon cleared his throat and took a step forward. [color=ed1c24]"Ladies and Gentlemen and Scumbags. You've been rounded up and been divided into two groups. A labor group and a fighter group. Those of you on the right will follow this beautiful girl here..."[/color] He said pointing to Ingrid. [color=ed1c24]"And will be registered with her. Those of you on the left are to follow me as i need a big hole dug to bury the fallen. They do deserve a proper burial after all."[/color] Very little did those people know that they were digging their own graves. 

Ingrid took the group that they were going to take to the school and get their names, ages relations and basic information. She had a couple of the fathers find a couple of large vehicles to take them all back to the school in. Within minutes they were ready to go and as she 'registered them' they were loaded into the vehicles. When they were loaded and ready to go Ingrid handed keys to both Nick and Jon.[color=a2d39c] "We are all set."[/color]

The holes had been dug deep enough when Ingrid came over to the two men overseeing the project. [color=ed1c24]"Congratulations, you've officially signed away your lives. Nick, see to it that the whole is filled."[/color] The Laborers were lined up and mowed down so that they filled the hole. [color=ed1c24]"Problem solved, gas is on them and ready to send the message. Shall we light the fuse?"[/color] Jon took his match book and lit the fuse. [color=ed1c24]"Message sent, time to leave. Ill lead the convoy, Ingrid follow me and Nick you bring up the rear. Got it? good lets go." [/color]

[color=a2d39c]"Jon we might want to take the back roads to come up from the other side of the school so the walkers are going away from us. This should help out the school if they are under siege at all."[/color] Ingrid said as she got into the 2nd vehicle and the people in the car suddenly realized that Ingrid saved their lives.
