James

James had a bad feeling about this. As Lyla was gearing up, he took one more look through the window. The two men were armed and seemed to talk intensely about something. They were also peeking through the window insertions of the car shop's sliding doors. Then he closed the curtains, went to the bathroom and took his clothes from the floor. "I have a bad feeling about this!" He said as he threw his clothes on the bed and started putting them back on himself. "We can't really trust anyone right now! What if these guys are part of a larger group of bandits? They'll want to kill me, take both our supplies and probably keep you as a sex toy...until they get tired." Said James as he finished putting his clothes back on and went to his weapons.

"On the other hand there is also a slight chance that these may be good people and we could be just overreacting." He said as he checked his Springfield 1911, which had 4 more rounds in the magazine and one in the barrel, then slided it inside his jeans. Then he reached out to his kukri as he pulled it out and examined it for a few seconds before putting it back inside the sheath and attaching the sheath to his jeans. "With this outbreak, it's all about survival of the fittest now, and humans can be worse then those walkers when it comes to staying alive." He said as he went to his stuff and started looking for the shotgun but only found the extra shells. "Shit! My Benelli is still inside the car." He said upset as he slammed his hands on his thighs.

In the meantime...outside the car shop...

"Hey Will, do you see what I see?"

"If you're talking about the red Chevelle then yeah, I do. That means we have a visitor, also these doors were open, up until yesterday. And there seems to be a dead walker behind the car too."

"What are we gonna do Will? You know the boss dosen't like visitors. You saw what he did to that guy last week."

"Yeah, Frankie! Ever since we stopped here two weeks ago he turned this town into his private little garden. Heaven forbid the poor fool that decided to stop here."

"So what do we do Will?"

"I have no idea! In the meantime let's keep looking through the windows, maybe we'll catch a glimpse of whoever stopped here."

Back inside the car shop's apartment...

James sat at a table, with Lyla next to him. They were both thinking what to do but nobody seemed to come up with an idea that they both liked. "Ummm...Here's what we'll do. I go down there and talk to those guys. Make them see that they have nothing to be fearful of. And you stay here safe. I don't want them to see us both and get all kinds of crazy ideas in their heads." Said James as rised up from the table and kissed Lyla. "I won't let anything bad happen to you. That I swear." He said as he started climbing down the stairs, determined to do this. As he reached the manager's office he unlocked the door, stepped inside the car shop and went to the doors and pushed a button on the wall. As the two doors of the car shop were sliding up James decides to pull out his kukri just in case.

"Who the hell are you?" Said one of the two men as they both stepped inside and started looking at his car. "I'm James. I stopped here yesterday to rest, make some slight repairs, gather some supplies and then i'll be on my way." He said as he put his kukri back inside the sheath. "Nice Chevelle. I like the Benelli shotgun too." Said the other guy as he was looking through the car's windows.

I've been thinking of making a 2nd character myself. Especially since almost everyone has made one, but I don't know what to he'll be yet. I'm split between a mercenary and a cop.

The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

Chris took off his gloves and put them in the duffle bag that Lisa was holding. Then he started putting his t-shirt and leather jacket on, as well as equipping his KA-BAR knife and Smith & Wesson revolver, determined to go and find a place to rest. He had enough excitement for one day. Just then, Leanne came out and admonished the two irish newcomers as well. Chris accepted the irishman's apologies as he and his sister got out of the gym only to get approached by Leanne, this time dressed differently.

"Excuse me! I think you two need to talk. Gimme that, I'll go find us a place to stay." Said Lisa as she took Chris's backpack and went off.

Chris realized that Leanne was trying to get rid of those two men by using him as a wall but that was okay. Those two were weirdos anyway. He listened to Leanne present herself and apologise for the past incident in the gym where she picked on him because of the whole Nikki thing. He put his hands on his hips as he took a deep breath then let go of the air. "My name's Chris. Chris Donovan. Sure...we can go on the roof and talk. Lead the way." Said Chris not answering all of Leanne's questions and still maintaining a high level of seriousness as he followed Leanne's lead.

James

James got into the bathroom and started inspecting the place. It was clean and in very good condition and it had both a bath tub and a shower cabin. This whole apartment as well as the car shop below were still in great condition despite the outbreak. James expected this place to be raided, empty and totally useless like every other place he's been in the past 3 weeks, since this whole outbreak started.

"Okay! Here goes nothing!" He said as he opened the shower cabin and put his hand on the hot water tap and started rolling it. Shortly after that, water, actual hot water started coming down.

"YES!" He shouted in excitement as he imidieatly turned the water off and started taking his black leather gloves off, followed by his green hooded sweatshirt, the white tank top underneath, the black boots and finally the blue jeans.

James enters the cabin and turns the hot water on as he closes the door. It was his first shower since the outbreak and the sensation was divine. He could hear Lyla say something but he didn't pay attention as he kept scrubbing himself as the hot water was pouring down on him. He didn't even notice her getting in the bathroom. By the time he did she was already inside the cabin, fully naked, with her perfect body on display, only for him.

She was so perfect James didn't even knew what so say. But his smile and the expression on his face was all the answers she needed. Even Aphrodite herself would be jealous of a body like this. And James had her all for himself. It was strange, but he felt like he dosen't deserve her. James slowly pushed her against the wall as the two of them started kissing again, with the water pouring down on them both.

"You drive me crazy you know that? No other woman made me feel the way you do!" Said James as he removed Lyla's hair covering her neck and started kissing her there and caressing her with his hands on his whole body as the hot water was making them feel like they're in heaven. For James at least, that's how it felt like.

James

Much to James's surprise, Lyla was extremely sympathetic towards him and his suffering. Besides his uncle, she was the first person that truly understood him and didn't stereotype him. James realised she blushed but didn't say anything about it. He followed Lyla through the manager's office and up the stairs into what seemed to be an apartment. Once there, James quickly pulled out his kukri at the sight of a walker, but Lyla made short work of him with her crowbar. But the two of them weren't out of the woods yet as James familiar sounds behind him. James gave the walker a right side kick to the chest as he watched him fall. As the walker was getting up, James forced him down again with his knee and with a powerful blow, plunged the kukri in his head killing it.

James then took the kukri off the walker's head, cleaned the blade with it's clothes and put it back in the sheath as he went back to Lyla and they both checked out the rest of the place together. It had two bedrooms out of which one was used as an office. James was surprised to see that the place still had electricity. Then Lyla came up with the extraordinary idea to stay here for a while, at least while they work on her car. The two of them wrapped in each other's arms and started kissing. James could feel the heat rising in his body as the two of them continued their kissing session. Then he grabbed Lyla, raised her up and they both went to the bed as he gently put her down and then he sat himself next to her. They weren't kissing anymore but their faces were so close they could touch each other, plus James had a weird sensation in his stomach.

"Sure!" He said smiling. "We can stay here for as long as you like. Besides...It's not like we are in an actual hurry somewhere are we?" He continued as he chuckled. "I wonder if this place still has water. I would kill for a shower right now." Said James as he rised up and went to the bathroom.

Chris was a little annoyed by Leanne's comments as he put his hands on his hips, and watched her enter the aerobics room. He took a look at his sister who nodded her head annoyed and then wiped off the sweat from his face as he he headed to the aerobics room and confronted Leanne just as she started doing her exercises. "You know what?! I never gave her any hope. She's the one that started everything, not me. She didn't even told me her damn age. And some time later, she freaked out and dumped me like a piece of trash." Said Chris with an annoyed tone but without raising his voice.

"I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't mention her ever again. Oh and one more thing. After she talked to you, outside at the entrance, she came to me and literally threw you into my arms. That was the drop that filled the glass. After everything that happened, women are the last thing on my mind." He continued as he finished his statement and walked away.

Chris got back into the gym and started hitting the punching bag again as his sister rised up from the bench and made a few steps towards him. "Are you okay?" She asked. "I'm fine!" He responded as he stopped and grabbed the punching bag with his hands while looking at her. But just as he was about to continue his workout, two people with irish accents that he never seen before got inside and started arguing. "Are you serious?" Chris said to himself. "Hey, hey, hey, hey! Do you mind taking your yelling some place else? Some people are trying to workout here!" Said Chris while looking at the two of them.

James Harris

James was gathering parts as Lyla threw him the soda can. He stopped and opened it as he started drinking from it and listening to what she was saying. It was good, a welcome break from all the water he's been drinking. Then he thought about what Lyla said. "Yeah, you're probably right. Humans are just as dangerous as the walkers themselves right now. There's no telling what they're capable of to stay alive. We better be careful if we ever encounter any. So far you're the first alive person I've seen ever since this whole mess started." He said as he watched her go wash herself of the blood she had on her face and hair from the walker she just killed.

"I know us working here is gonna make noise. But we can always close down the sliding door. That's gonna help suppress the sound. Or we can abandon the car if you're too afraid to take the risk. Honestly I thought of using this tow truck to bring it here. Most of the walkers in this part of town seem to be dead anyway." Said James as he continued drinking from the soda can. Then all of a sudden he noticed three gas canisters sitting in a corner of the shop. After going to check them out he saw that they were still full.

"Well isn't this convenient! We should take these with us." He said as he took the canisters and put them up front, near the exit. As he went back to Lyla, James sat on a chair and finished his soda. "You said you have a black belt. I know quite a little bit of fighting myself. When I was in..." Said James as he suddenly stopped, his face becoming serious and his view turning to the floor. "There's something you should know about me. Something I didn't told you but I think you deserve to know, before we go any further." He said stopping for a few seconds.

"I'm an...I'm an ex-convict. Seven years ago I was arrested and convicted for assault and battery after I attacked and beaten my mother's ex-husband. The guy stood a couple of weeks in the hospital trying to recover. I spent two years in prison because of that. But I had to do something. Even after divorce the bastard wouldn't leave her alone. My mother was too scared of him to do anything so I took matters into my own hands. But instead of going to the cops I went to his apartment and beat the living crap out of him." Said James as he rised up from the chair and started walking around as he was storytelling.

"While I was locked up they gave me this cellmate, some MMA instructor that was convicted for murder after he killed a guy that raped his wife. The rapist got away with it due to the lack of evidence so this instructor I just spoke about, followed him home one night and then tortured and killed him out of revenge. He got 25 years for that. Anyway we became friends and since we were cellmates he also taught me some MMA moves so I could protect myself just in case. That got me through those two years of prison quite well. After I got out I had to deal with the hate of society, who often pointed fingers at me like I was some kind of monster. I couldn't even get a fucking job, everybody kept showing me the door. And to make matters worse my mother died of liver cancer three months after I got out. The doctors told her that the disease was diagnosed too late so it couldn't be treated, so she killed herself. She left behind a note in which she said that she dosen't want to go through all the pain and suffering that having this disease implied." Said James as he suddenly stopped and sat on the chair again with his arms crossed.

"I don't even know why I'm telling you all this, I mean we barely just met. I guess it's better to talk with a stranger then with someone you know. Anyway, after my mother's death I decided I need a change of space, so I moved in with my uncle in Minneapolis, he hired me to work at his car shop as a mechanic. It was a small business, just me and him, but very successfull. I kept visiting my cellmate in prison, even after I moved to Minneapolis. We developed quite a bond. Honestly i'm curious to know what happened to him. Is he still alive or is he one of these walkers too? At any rate...I wouldn't blame you if you woudn't want to have anything to do with me anymore. I had plenty of that so i'm used with it." Said James with a sick smile on his face that really wasn't his, as he went to the tow truck and started checking it out to see if it's still working.
