[i]-[color=lightseagreen] Mercy [/color]-[/i]

The blonde woman wasn't surprised that the dark haired twin didn't comment about her first statement. She was however pleased when he answered her question about Dog. It was a confusing answer rather ambiguous in nature, it caused confusion to leak into her expression though she didn't attempt to push the subject any further, what he had told her was enough for her to think over. A shiver ran down her spine however as she focused on his last sentence, she would have to thank Dog for that some how...providing his word was enough to influence his temperamental brother whilst he was away. 

Before she had even had the chance to excuse herself, Cat moved first. She inhaled sharply, holding the air in her lungs as he swiftly passed her and disappeared out of the door without another word. Once he was gone she released a shaky breath and brought a hand up to her chest, resting it atop her breast as she took a few deep breaths. [color=lightseagreen] "That's quite enough 'excitement' for one day..."[/color] She murmured to herself, sarcasm present in her tone as she said excitement. With that said, she turned on her heel and exited the attic as well, nervously looking out for Cat as she descended the stairs before skittering into her room. She dropped her first aid kit back into her backpack on her way to the bathroom, grabbing the glass off of the side of the sink she tipped a portion of sterilisation fluid into it before dropping the needle in to it. A smile crossed her face as she washed her hands, having tended to Cat's wound as she had told Dog she would, she was now free to do as she pleased. Having spoken to Lloyd earlier she had a good idea what to do next. 

Mercy was barely able to contain her excitement as she scooped up her bow and grabbed her quiver, though the distance between her and Tamashii weighed on her mind, sitting around worrying about it wasn't going to help. She hastily made for the door to her room, a few seconds later she was trotting down the stairs sliding past Cat silently if he was still near the staircase before she shot through the front door. As she hopped down onto the grass she took a deep breath, willing her heart to return to a steady beat now that she was safe...ish. Without a moments hesitation she made a beeline for the barn, a smile lit up her face as she was greeted by a friendly whicker from Bandit, whom was stood with his head over his door. Providing no-one was already in there, she rested her bow against the wall next to the door alongside her quiver before approaching the piebald, who nuzzled her hand eagerly as she stroked his neck with her other one. [color=lightseagreen] "I'm going to guess you'd like to spend a few hours out hmm? The inside fence is secure so it wouldn't hurt"[/color] She murmured to him, scratching his forehead before reaching for the head collar by his door.

Shade had left the building before Dog and Tamashii had even made it through the door, as they edged inside he was jogging back down the alley towards Bulldog's truck. When he reached Bulldog's window he nodded his head at his boss before holding up 5 fingers for the other man to see, after a moment he curled 3 of his fingers in towards his palm pointing back over his shoulder. Using his hands he explained the position of the other survivors. Bulldog reached over and wheeled his window down as Hank begun to shift about in his seat clearly excited by what he had seen so far. [color=khaki]"You're sure?"[/color] Bulldog questioned him, dropping his pencil in his lap he reached up and scratched at the stubble darkening his chin. Shade nodded his head once more, staring at Bulldog with a platonic expression. [color=khaki]"Armed?"[/color] Bulldog asked, watching Shade as the man lifted his arm holding it horizontally he tilted it form side to side as if unsure. [color=khaki]"Military grade or civilian?"[/color] Was Bulldogs next question. Shade held up two fingers as his answer, a grin spread across Bulldog's face before he noisily clapped his hands together rubbing them eagerly he turned to face the other two men in the car. 

[color=slategray]"Well, what's the plan?"[/color] Hank asked impatiently. [color=khaki]"Alright boys sounds like we've got some recruiting to do! Guy drives us straight through those corpses keep this car between that group and whoever is in there, just in case they don't want to play nice. Then finish off those things whilst Hank and I...negotiate. Shade clear them out of that building, try not to damage them too much"[/color] Bulldog ordered, waving a dismissive hand at Shade who instantly headed back down the alley he had just come out of. Hank scooted across the back chairs jumping out of the back of the truck as Bulldog got out of the front seat. Both men went round to the back of the truck and hopped into the cargo bed at the tail end of the vehicle.

Tamashii edged further into the building, it had been left in a complete mess unlike the outside. The front counter was  covered in a thick layer of dirt, empty stands had been tossed behind it along with a broken cash register. Broken fridges lined the left wall, some with doors and some without, a lot of shelves had been pushed over and were leaning against each other blocking the aisles. Tamashii stepped forward carefully negotiating her way through the litter scattered across the floor, her eyes inspecting every possible hidey hole that she came across. She turned back to glance Dog as he whispered softly, though she had to admit the entire petrol station they were in, caused prickles of unease to crawl beneath her skin she wasn't getting any bad vibes from the building they were in. 

[color=forestgreen]"It'll be fine, this place looks pretty empty"[/color] She attempted to assure Dog as she became a little more confident and crossed the small shop floor, to the open door of a small office, she edged around the door frame, inspecting the room cautiously. One of the windows in the office had been completely removed but apart from that it was empty. [color=forestgreen]"This place must have been ransacked...strange how it's messy in here but clean outside"[/color] She commented reappearing out of the office, though she was still visibly tensed she was more confident with her movements as she started to rummage through the filthy shelves. 

[color=forestgreen]"Well since you're here as well, help me look around, there may be something useful in here"[/color] She told Dog, glancing over at him as she spoke, sifting through a few empty containers on one of the shelves before she walked over to a pile of rubbish, something caught her attention and she swooped down to dig it out. Crouching next to the pile she brought a dirty vial of nail polish up, holding it so she could see it properly in the light filtering through the door. [color=forestgreen]"Hmm, Mercy's favourite color..."[/color] She murmured to herself, standing up so she could tuck it into her jeans as she did this a tinny rattle echoed around the building as if someone had caught a can with their foot. Tamashii's eyes lifted to see where Dog was, though something told her the jovial twin hadn't caused the noise. As her hand dropped to her firearm, someone shot out of the shadows and seized the back of her shirt, hauling her back off of her feet, the man turned sharply and threw her into a row of shelves. The action rendered Tamashii severely disorientated as she lay splayed across the broken wooden shelves. 

Shade didn't wait for the brunette to recover, knowing she was alive was enough, leaving her there he swiftly turned to find Dog. Unless Dog had run from the building it wouldn't have taken the hooded assailant long to track him down in the small shop. Shade approached Dog more carefully than he had Tamashii, though he noticeably left the other man a path towards the open door as he moved in closer. If Dog didn't take the generously offered escape route, Shade felt obliged to 'convince' him that he should. Shade slowly came to a stand still lifting one of his arms, he pointed at Dog before pointing at himself he curled his fingers into his palms and lifted his fists to chest level dancing from one foot to the other, a challenging smirk crossed his dark face, as the screeching of tires on tarmac filtered into the room and Bulldog's voice split the silence that followed.

Having given Shade a few moments to 'flush' out the two survivors from the building, Bulldog couldn't wait any longer. He tapped the top of the trucks cab, signalling for Guy to accelerate. The nervous  man obliged and slammed his foot down on the accelerator causing the truck to leap forward. The heavy revving seemed to reverberate around the surrounding buildings as the vehicle shot forward towards the corpse infested opening. Though the survivors moving between the cars would have already heard them it may have been a surprising sight as the truck suddenly rammed through the small group of walking corpses that had gathered in the entrance to the city. After mowing down two of the corpses, the truck screeched to a halt in the opening between the city and the petrol station, resting across the space at a diagonal angle. Bulldog was stood in the back of truck, leaning on the cab though he was ready to duck if any bullets flew at him, he had his shotgun rested on his shoulder and his eyes seemed to instantly seek out anyone who hadn't already ducked down or dove into cover. Hank stayed down, swinging one of his axes into one of the corpses skulls on the other side of the truck, watching as Guy skirted around the last two, working to finish them off quickly. 

Hank hopped out of the back of the truck, walking round to the tailgate he swung one of his axes around as he came to stand in the survivors view, keeping half of his body behind the truck as he waited for their reactions. [color=khaki]"Warriors...come out to play-i-ay"[/color] Bulldog taunted, raising his voice so it travelled across the large space in front of him. Despite the fact this man looked dangerous, his voice didn't sound it, there was an irritating squeakiness to it that almost seemed to offend ones ears. Hank cast his boss a look of disapproval, rolling his eyes before sweeping his gaze over the cars in front of them. [color=khaki]"I know you're out there, how about we skip the game of hide and seek? I'll give you two options, option one you all come out now so we can have a nice [i]friendly[/i] chat...or option two, stay where you are, though I can't promise we'll be gentle when we find you"[/color] He shouted out, trying to keep the amusement out of his tone as he did.
