"I'm fine babe", Jamie said. Seeing Jamie in that armour gave Kahleen a little break from worrying. It may weighted heavy on them both and it pressed the itchy white overall to their skin, but it was a little bit protection. It was a hint of safety. 

"Has that guy gone crazy yet? Maybe you should give me that gun and I can put him down." Did her animal-loving, vegetarian girlfriend just suggest to end someone's life? Kahleen didn't get to think about that change in her lovers personality much.

Within the next minute a lot happened. Kahleen wasn't sure how to react to it. A man pointed out that some moron had given away their position and their state of still being alive. Any second there could be a bunch of infected bursting through the door to happily kill or infect them all.

Some survivors had managed to open the door wide enough for them to slip through one by one. Kahleen's first instinct was to flee through the door before anything else could endanger them in this locked up room again.

But someone gave her a second option. Someone who turned out to be yet another army guy had entered the room. He was armed and first thing Kahleen wanted to pull Jamie back.

But she was surprised when she was the one being pulled behind her lover for protection. "Stay behind me, babe. Looks like another one of these fucking soldiers wants a piece!" 

She grabbed the woman's hand and squeezed softly. The soldier that entered gave them the option to either go through the door where they'd have to fight through many stages of infected people or climb a rope to reach the 20 feet above walkway and get easily out from there on.

Just as Kahleen thought aboit the option being realistic for her, her girlfriend made the decision. "I can't climb that, is he crazy?" she paused, "Of course he's fucking crazy." Kahleen had to agree that climbing was no option for her either. She wouldn't make it. That's for being lazy in sports class. 

She didn't wanna go out there and face the crazy people. She didn't wanna get in danger again. That was enough action for her for a lifetime!

Kahleen looked for another way out, which was obviously silly. They've been in that room for long enough to know there's no other way. Escaping is a matter of time, the crazy could be here any heartbeat. She opened her mouth, not really sure what she was even gonna say. But it didn't matter. Jamie pulled her hand out of her soft grip and marched over to the slowly awakening soldier on the ground. Kahleen wondered if she had sen anything useful to grab or whatnot but instead she kicked him into the balls hard.

Kahleen's jaw dropped, literally. Her mouth hang open. Soft, kind-hearted Jamie has turned furious. Full of anger and hate. 


"Yeah fuck you," she said, spitting at him. "I'm done with the Army. You guys can all go with Captain Crunch if you want, but me and Kahleen will take our chances on the other side of that door!" 

Kahleen had never seen her girlfriend this furious. And spitting at him was so unlike her. Sure Kahleen felt the same anger towards the army. But she wouldn't spit at them. Not yet anyway.

The blonde turned to Kahleen, "come on, babe, let's get the Hell out of here."

Her head was spinning with information and searching for every logical action. Kahleen felt she had heard something that made her mind ring a bell. The same bell that had rung every time a child in her nursery school had told a lie. 

She frowned and spoke up. "Can you even replay the messages sent on a headset? I thought it's just for communication and not recording." She didn't wanna point a finger because in fact she had no idea if they could play already spoken messages. She thought it didn't.

Thinking that this was now not the worse problem, she turned her attention back to Jamie. "If you are sure that's for our best, let's go. All I know is I don't wanna be alone in this war." She felt weak for whispering the next sentence but she needed to say it. [i]"Please don't leave me."[/i]

Seeing Jamie take charge of their situation had Kahleen gone weak. She felt like protecting Jamie was a whole lot easier with her being that strong badass girl. And just for a moment it had to be okay for Kahleen to be weak and speak out her fears. The truth was hard but it was the truth. She couldn't survive this alone.
