Sarah quickly turned around and widen her eyes when she saw a young male running towards them with a weapon. "Umm Marcus!" She said quickly. She pulled her .22 hand gun from her side and clicked it off from safety. Marcus quickly scanned the area to find a good place to take off, if needed "Stay put.." he mumbled to Sarah, back still towards the young man. "Hey! Stop where you are!!" Sarah yelled at the young man. "Stop!" She said once again just in case he didn't hear her. She held her weapon loosely to her side and watched the young man, hoping he wasn't going to do anything stupid.
Marcus slowly turned around and laid eyes on the young man. He sighed and shook his head. "I doubt he wants much, but keep your eye on this one." He said. He could feel Pepper moving around in his pack. The cat wasn't easy to keep calm once Marcus or Sarah began to raise there voices. However, Pepper was great about staying in the backpack. Marcus looked over his shoulder and noticed something off in the distance. He quickly turned and adjusted his eyes. It couldn't be..
"Sarah.. on my count, turn and I will turn to watch the guy." Sarah quickly gave a confused sideways look and nodded. "One... two.. three!" he said. They both quickly turned around. Marcus facing the young man, and Sarah searching the area till she also saw it too. A young female child. "Oh no..." she mumbled, fearing for the worse. She sighed and bit her lip. "What do we do?" She said softly. "I'll take care of the guy, if you can try to help the little one."
"Marcus, we can't afford to take care of a..."
"Hush! Go see if she is ok!" Marcus cut off Sarah and glared at her for a moment. "Fine..." she growled.
Sarah pocketed the .22 hand gun, but left the safety off, just in case. She began to walk towards the young girl and sighed. '
How do I talk to a.. child?', She thought to herself. She was never good with children. "Ummm.. hey.. little gal! Are you ok?" She called out, getting closer to the girl, and noticing she was holding herself pretty well. Too well for a young girl. "Do you know where your mommy and daddy are?" She called out.
Marcus cringed at Sarah being so loud. "Hush! We don't want to fight off anything.. do weee?" He quietly called out to her, still facing the young man. "Who are you?" He called out to the young man.
