Blitz and Kiley ran most of the way down the street guns at the ready for whatever came at them. Blitz kept looking at Kiley seeing a scared look in her eyes that made her shiver," What's wrong spit fire?" Blitz says using the nickname she given Kiley to lighten up her mood.
"Nothin' jus' worried 'bout the group," Kiley said scanning the area around them as they walked," M-my uncle can be a pain in the ass an' has a big mouth, I should know I got my sarcasm from him, but he respects the armed forces," Kiley's and Blitz started to run faster.
"Why didn't ya warn 'em 'bout t'is?" Blitz asked as they turned onto Gardner.
"Well if I know Erika is that. If my pa does get the bright idea of bein' an 'ungrateful lil' fuck' ,as my uncle likes to call 'im, then she will fix that attitude real quick," Kiley says with a chuckle remembering her first encounter with the woman.
Blitz let out a snort," Why is it bad I actually wanna see that?" Blitz asked as the Bank building came into view. She never got an answer before Kiley basically bolted away from her towards the tall blue building. Blitz lets out a sigh and ran after her quickly catching up to her.
Marcus watched his brother silently fume when Ralph opened his mouth Marcus lets out a cough stopping him before," We got a lace at our Pa's bunker not ta long from 'ere," Marcus said getting straight to the point," We came out 'ere thinkin' she'd jus' be by 'erself," He explained," We didn't exactly plan on ya'll bringin' 'er. If ya'll wanted ta stay we got plenty o' room in the bunker, but we may not have the supplies though," Marcus said rubbing the back of his head.
Ralph was giving him a bad stink eye, Marcus knew what was coming and wasn't scared of it either. Marcus wasn't this bad whenever he was craving beer or something to get high from. Marcus has been clean from drugs for two years now. Ralph and Katrina had finally ended it a month before the Xenomorphs came crawling and its been like hell since. Ralph became an alcoholic leaving Marcus had to get him out of trouble, and keep him alive as well as anyone else who pissed Ralph off. It got worse after Ralph learned that Elyana died, He became cruel and mean to Marcus but puts on the nice guy facade for anyone outside the family due to wanting to keep his ' I'm the good guy' reputation. Though Marcus could handle it he's taken his brother down enough times to handle him, what Marcus didn't want is these people taking his niece away before he can talk to her.
Ralph looks at the woman," How long do ya think it is before she gets 'ere? We gotta get goin' if she ain't 'ere-"
"Oi! Did someone order a missin' teen?" Blitz voice cuts him off as a force knocked into him making him stumble back. Ralph patted her back trying not to push her off him. When Kiley pulled back she had tears running down her face and a smile that made him want to slap her but keeping up his facade he smiled back at her.
"Hi Pa," Kiley said her voice a little scratchy.
"Kiley, ya look like hell," Ralph said looking her over.
"Eh," Kiley said shrugging," Its kinda expected don'chya think?" Kiley said trying to block his glare from Erika.
"t'ey took-"
"Yes Pa, t'ey took care o' me. Saved my ass 'bout 4-5 time actually,' Kiley said defending them.
"Can I get a hug ta 'r am I completely fergotten?" Marcus says coming up to his niece arms open and a fake pout on his face. Kiley lets out a laugh and hugs her uncle who gives her a giant bear hug," Glad ta see ya darlin' girl," Marcus said rubbing her back. He got a muffled response which only made him chuckle knowing that she said 'I'm no darlin' if yer no gentleman'.
