[b]Bex - Underground - Bull[/b]

It seemed Tyler had something special in mind for the girl, as no one would allow Bex to take a look at her. If she had been traveling with Lynn, perhaps Tyler felt the girl needed to be taught a [i]special[/i] lesson. The poor thing.

Bex soon ran into Bull, who was finally off guard duty. The pair decided to get something to eat and made their way to the dining hall, though it was hardly a [i]hall[/i] and hardly a place for [i]dining[/i]. On the menu today were energy bars and canned peaches, to Bex's disappointment. As Bull and Bex sat down to eat their "food", Bex couldn't help but grimace. "This is why we need to retake the damned mall, this shit is disgusting."

Bull grinned, showing off his yellowed teeth. "I dunno," he said, stuffing a handful of peaches into his mouth. "I like it."

Bex shook his head. "Who do we even have out hunting right now? I swear to god, if Tyler put Smith on that again, I'll-"

"Eat your damn peaches, Bex."

Glowering at his friend, Bex began to eat. He bit off a bit of an energy bar and chewed it roughly. The Bull was one of his few friends among the group. Bex tended to only allow his emotions to show toward his friends and that's the way he liked it. The two men ate in silence for a moment, when Bex started eyeing Bull's bandaged arms again. "So, I heard you had a mishap yesterday."

The Bull snorted and waited to finish swallowing his energy bar. "It was some bullshit."

"Ahuh, sure it was."

Bull smiled, though it was clearly sarcastic. "Don't test me now." The giant cleared his throat and laid one of his bandaged arms on the table to show off. "Their was this chick and a kid running away from a bunch of deadheads. They were fuckin' limping, and me an' the boys were sure they'd be easy targets. But the chick, she fires on us and her aim was pretty damn good. Damn near took Ritchy's eye out. I thought I could take her but the fucking kid threw a knife at me. It-"

Bex raised an eyebrow. "Was this kid a ninja?"

The Bull barked with laughter. "He only hit me with the hilt, but it damn near scared the living daylights out of me." The Bull paused at the further amusement on Bex's face. "I know, I know! Embarrassing. Still, the two of them managed to squirm their way into an alley. Billy ran after them, but the dead were on me an' Ritchy something fierce. He got bit , but I managed to walk away with only scratches." He gestured to his bandages. "Damn lucky."

"You always are, you son of a bitch."

"Damn right!" The Bull exclaimed, breaking into laughter that sent his mouthful of peaches flying every which way.

Bex decided to swallow down the last of his peaches before he lost his appetite. When Bull was done laughing, Bex asked, "What happened to Billy?"

Bull shrugged. "Dunno. Probably got bit somewhere. I was the only one to meet back up with Brad. The fucker chewed me out hard, but I'm still standing, at least."

Bex nodded, looking down to realize that he had no desire to eat the rest of the energy bar. He pushed it across the table to Bull. "Here, I'm gonna try and see about that girl again."

Bull took the food happily, licking his lips as he stuffed it into his mouth. "You really must be into the young ones. Just make sure you don't get Tyler upset with you. I could see you doing that, you idiot."

Bex only smiled. He waved off Bull as he got out of his seat and left the hall. Perhaps [i]he[/i] couldn't see the girl, but he had an idea of someone who could.
