[b]Outpost - Bex - Hex[/b] He wasn't entirely sure what he was seeing. Had he officially gone insane? Had he been drinking? Maybe he had been, if Hex of all people was calling him "buddy". Bex stood stiffly, unsure how to respond to this man. With everything that was going on, the last thing they needed was a complication. Especially a complication as gross as Hex. "What are doing here?" Bex asked, still in a state of shock. "You're-- Alive?" Bex shook his head. "I'm not your buddy, Hex. I never have been." He stepped forward menacingly in an attempt to make Hex uncomfortable. "I don't know how the hell you ended up here, but there are a few things you need to know before you even think about staying. Tyler is here, but you do not call him Tyler. His name is Thomas now. No, actually, he [i]is[/i] Thomas now. Tyler no longer exists." If only that were true, Bex lamented. "Don't mess with these people and don't mess with us, Hex. Tyler was ready to kill you back in the catacombs, so be happy Thomas is a bit kinder. I don't know how kind he'll be if you fuck us over." Bex was unbelievably angry, but he had no time to deal with this man. There would be a council meeting soon and Bex figured he had to be there. He turned around and left before Hex could respond. --- [b]Outpost - Reggie - Alex/Nelson[/b] Entering the nurse's station now was Reggie, who looked about as sour as he could be. He gave Alex a long heavy look before speaking. "There's been an incident." Reggie crossed the room and stood before the two men. "You'll know soon enough what's happened, but I should tell you now. One of our own, Samantha, has been killed." Reggie stared at Alex while he gave the news. When he was satisfied, his gaze turned toward the guy with the broken nose. "Unfortunately for you, no one is to leave Outpost until the killer is caught, although I doubt you could anyway with the state we found you in. Your car was beyond repair and you were alone. I'm sorry if you had anyone with you at the time." Fortunately for Nelson, he was just about the only one Reggie knew couldn't have committed the murder. He could not say the same for Alex, however. The exact details of Samantha's murder was a mystery. If this was another mutiny attempt, surely it was a group of people. It could even be his own scouts, Reggie realised. "Alex, report back to your cabin immediately. I have something to discuss with the scouts. Do not talk to anyone along the way or do anything but this, for I will treat that as suspicious." With that, Reggie was gone, leaving the two men alone. He would be a very busy man soon enough. --- [b]Outpost[/b] Outpost was a difficult place to live for the for the next few days. Both Nelson and Hex were forced to live within Outpost's walls whether they wanted to or not. Their probation was put on hold for when the murderer was caught, whenever that may be. Reggie was out for blood, angered not only by the depravity of the murder but by the council meddling into his affairs. If he did not find the murderer soon, it could mean the worst for Outpost. He became an irritable person, lashing out at not only his own scouts but at the the people of Outpost. He pulled random individuals into his cabin for questioning, often berating them mentally. He screamed and yelled, demanding they reveal themselves as the murderer. No one ever did. The week continued without a murderer being found. Reggie only grew angrier and the people were becoming wary him. Rumors were started by Matt's group that Reggie was the murderer and the gossip spread like wildfire. Normally Reggie was a man who was respected, but lately he had become a man feared and reviled. He not only had to deal with finding the murderer, but had to deal with the larger community suspecting him. Though his scouts were still willing to follow him, Reggie found that the newer ones were looking antsy and ready to defect. He had taken on a few more, including the man named Hex, during the week, but Reggie knew he couldn't hold them together much longer. It was for this reason that Reggie had to abandon Outpost. He was running himself up against a wall trying to find the murderer when the real danger still lurked outside their walls. With a little brute force, Reggie managed to escape with the majority of his scouts, setting them off toward The Pub. He left Alex behind, just as he said he would, though it was with reservation that Reggie decided to bring Aoife and Amanda. Rudy, Thomas, Bex, and Enrique followed the man, but discussed watching the man in case he did anything strange. They couldn't let him get away with murder, after all. With Reggie gone, Outpost turned chaotic. Elliot and George came forward with the journal they found, stating that it was proof that Reggie killed Samantha. As Reggie and his scouts fled for reasons unknown to most, it was believed that was further proof of the man's guilt. Before long, almost all of Outpost believed that Reggie was a murderer. However, as no one knew if the scouts would return, the council were forced to temporarily draft a new scouting team for the time being. Though they believed the murderer was gone, Outpost was still in a state of unfortunate upheaval.
