The head was still moving despite it's body having been removed. Alex began counting. [i][color=cyan]*1 2 3, still moving at a non-stop pace, 7 8 9, whatever causes this doesn't lose effect even without blood flow, 15 16 17.*[/color][/i] Alex stood up and pulled out a small notebook. He wrote as he spoke, [color=cyan]"So, despite the fact that the normal human head usually stops twitching prior to 17 seconds of decapitation the Walker head continues to move. Even extending that time far beyond what I have seen."[/color] Alex puts away his notebook, [color=cyan]"Still no closer to understanding what these things are. Guess it's time to continue looking for Erin."[/color] The past three weeks Alex has been leaving the school for the majority of time that there was sunlight to look for Erin and try to study these Walkers. Both mission objectives were fairly futile. He couldn't find a trace of Erin. He needed to learn to track. That would make these things easier. He also wasn't getting very much valuable information from his research. Alex walked towards the area that had been the most recent backup option that had so conveniently become overrun with Walkers. Alex shambled about as if he was one of the undead and tried to see if he could find any clue of something. He needed to ask Haru to come with him next time. No, wouldn't be an option. They needed to find Erin. Alex looked towards the sun and realized it would be setting in a few hours. He had to get back to his makeshift sniper post on top of the school. He began the long walk home and signaled to the guards it was him coming back. [color=gold]"Pfft. Guess whose here Alex?"[/color] Alex looked at Derek. One of the people among the group who didn't want Erin around. [color=cyan]"Derek, shut up. I told you not to speak to me. If you want your nose to stay as is don't bother me. 'Kay?"[/color] [color=gold]"Erin's back ya prick. Why'd ya have to give her a reason to stay?"[/color] Alex just rolled his eyes. These guys were all bark and no bite. Only the guards who were close to Jon had any real idea how to fight. The others were just little Chihuahuas that thought they were Rottweilers. They were easy to fight so they talked big but never had the nerve to even try to fight. Alex was grateful that the guy had unintentionally told him Erin was back. Alex walked into the school looking for the girl who had disappeared three weeks back. He finally noticed her being pulled towards the school office by Kyle. It looked like he was holding a head. [color=cyan][i]*Crap. She actually did it. Ugh, not good.*[/i][/color] He walked towards the door to try and listen in. However, using a rifle with no ear protection his hearing was getting bad so he couldn't get close enough to listen in without being noticed. So, he just waited off to the side until someone exited the room. He needed to talk with Erin, and depending on what the two had been talking about maybe even Kyle. He just knew he couldn't let someone close to him go down that road. That horrid road called revenge. [@dabombjk][@Demonic Angel]
