[b]Alex Clark - New Orleans/Crashed Vehicle - Reggie/Aoife/Nelson[/b]

Tugging at the door together with Jerry and Reggie it finally came loose after he tried using his pitchfork as a lever, getting himself knocked down as the door gave away. Reggie had already started saying that the guy inside the car was a lost cause, but Alex would at least try to take a look at him. As Jerry checked the pulse of the man Alex inspected the injured head of the young man, realizing it was '[i]just[/i] a broken nose. Once the man was out of the car he helped support him together with Jerry, slinging his rifle over his shoulder while carrying the bloodied pitchfork. He was spilled with crawler guts, but that had become something he started to get used to when out there. The smell would haunt him for days however even after he'd wash himself, in the privacy of his own skull.

He knew from Reggie's disappointed look however that he had screwed up, and in fact, he had screwed up. Then again, giving him a gun was a bad idea. One week ago it had been the first time he had ever touched a gun, and now he was out on scouting missions carrying a bolt-action rifle. He knew from his geekness how it worked allright, he even knew how to fire a musket. That didn't mean however that he'd be good at it, or good at aiming at all. 

As they picked up the pace going back to the safe Outpost Alex felt the need to apologize to Reggie for making a mess of it, and he wanted to say that he shouldn't be using a gun, but didn't really find a moment to ask. They were in a hurry and Reggie never seemed to be open to conversation much, not to mention the fact that they were still outside in the dangerous area, carrying a bleeding unconscious man. He had been accepted in the Outpost when he had arrived here a few weeks earlier, and it had to a certain degree meant an end to living in hell. He had withnessed enough for ten lifetimes, and finally he stumbled across a place that almost seemed normal. The only problem was that he simply kept screwing everything he did up, just like he did before he arrived here. It was one of the things he found hard to live with, especially considering the fact that he could be jeopardizing this entire community with his mistakes.
