[b] Samantha - The road - Abram and the others [/b]

With much hesitation, after making her introduction to the police officer, Samantha had reluctantly gone into the cover of the trees as Abram instructed them. Only because of Jess and her baby. If Abram and the police officer named Turissa were going to watch out for the incoming trucks, someone had to watch over Leah, along with Jess and her baby. The woods were filled with biters and she wasn't going to let anyone die so far. She needed these people for her own survival so she could find her sister.

Once Abram gave them the all clear, Sam walked out behind the girls. She was slightly relieved that the trucks ended up going a different path but at the same time she wished they would have came their way. [i] 'What if they could have helped? Offered more, maybe?'[/i] She pushed the thought away as she recalled the images of being tied up and thrown into a truck full of men with nothing but greed, lust, and violence in their eyes. "We'll be riding with her?" The question was more for herself than for everyone but she still couldn't help but ask out loud. 

Once again, with much reluctance, Sam climbed into the truck and fell quiet as she heard the others talk. Abram asked questions about their weapons and their familiarization with them. She didn't bother answering him out loud, giving him a simple nod. Years going to the range with her father helped her out in times like these.

 "Are we going to find shelter in Baton Rouge?"

 Sam finally spoke up after being quiet for several minutes. She hadn't noticed that Abram was speaking with Turissa, being engulfed by her own thoughts. Still, she didn't bother to stop and apologize. Instead, she looked up and looked out the front window. "We have a baby with us.... So it wouldn't be wise to stay on lower ground. I suggest we find a good two story house. We can stay in the attic. This way we're not too high up from the ground like a building. If not, we can just get a one story house and stay in that attic. The doors usually come down with a sliding staircase so biters won't be able to get to us." With that being said, she settled back into her seat and then looked at both Turissa and towards Abram, although he was paying attention to the road. "And if we get there with enough sun light, either you and I or Turissa and I can go on a supply run. Someone has to stay with Jess and Leah." Samantha turned towards the other girls and smiled, then looked down at the baby. "And baby Ben, of course." 

She spoke as if it were just another day and she had known these strangers for days now, rather than hours. It was her experience of being with a group that kicked in. "I'll be the one going on a supply run either way. I'm pretty fast." Sam looked back at the two in the front and smiled, hoping they'd approve of their plan. It wasn't exactly well thought of, but if things popped up, she could always improvise. Lately, she had become rather good at improvising.
