[b]Hank - Camp - Aiden[/b]

Hank put his hand on Aiden's shoulder and nodded in agreement. Aiden had been one of the first people they rounded up once the outbreak hit. He was a valuable addition to the first five, Seth, DeSean, Jennifer, Heather and himself. Not only was he a magnificent cook, but he was an overall delightful person. He never seemed to brake like most people did, not yet at least. Though he was a bit distant at times, he had shown them he was part of their new family as some called it. 

Though none of them were truly blood related, it seemed everyone knew each other very well. In the zombie apocalypse, one gets to know another rather quickly. But like a family, there were also the bad times. There was an occasion where Seth and DeSean got into a brawl about something - something that Hank couldn't ever recall. There were also all those times with Heather and her nagging personality. There was also Imogen who used to be the most distant member, but learned to adapt to their profound ways of this new life. Getting all these people to live in peace had been a rough journey, but they managed - up to this point. 

Bringing this new survivor would play out the same way it had when the group started getting bigger. As a day-to-day member of the group, new additions would always be looked at with weary eyes. They were strangers, but like always, they would have to adapt to the new rules to survive. This redneck they found would have to do the same if he decides to stay. Thing is, Hank doesn't want to let him go either. If he throws him back out there the guy will most likely die. Even if he provides the guy with supplies and food, there is no guarantee he'd live. But if he stayed with them, he could become another great addition to the group, just like Aiden had. 

"DeSean wants him gone, but I don't want that. If we allow him to just leave, he'll die. Just like that. He wont stand a chance out there, even after he gets well. I'm not sayin' I want to force him to stay - i'm no dictator. But I don't want to send him to his death" Hank started, removing his hand from the other man's shoulder. "Seth is with me, like always. Aaliyah and Imogen will probably feel the same way. Noah and his son.........well.......I'm not too sure what they'll think, but I know they're aren't murderers. I know Noah is concerned for his boy, but we can't allow that to cloud his judgement on allowing this man to stay. Jennifer of course will follow her husband. And Heather............." he paused for a second and crossed his arms. "Let's just say she wont like whatever decision I make. But you're right. We'll see what he does when he awakens, then we'll act accordingly. But listen Aiden, I need him to stay. I can't have living blood on my hands, not now, not ever" Hank finished up with a fierce stare. 

The man was not pleased with the turn of events, but it had already happened. He promised himself that he would not allow another living person die if he could do something about it. This was a perfect example of that promise. He has the supplies and capability of keeping this man alive, so he's going to do it, just like he has for everyone else. "Now let's go eat, I'm starvin." 

Soon enough, he sat beside Seth on a log surrounding the campfire. Jennifer and DeSean were there as well. His main concern though was what was happening inside the medical tent.
