The sound of a gunshot echoed against the walls of the buildings lining the street and Sam winced, both from the loud noise and the fact that it was sure to attract the attention of more biters than they could handle. Still, she glanced at the hole the shot ripped through the biter's skull and saw just how close it had been to making her its lunchtime snack. She shot a thankful grin at Jay and followed the two men atop the cars.

The crowd of biters around the grew to the size of a small horde, with some bumbling out from inside the buildings to inspect whatever had caused the sound they heard. Sam could only suspect that in their rotten minds, the sound of a gunshot may have as well been the same as a kitchen bell signalling dinner time. She hopped atop the car, kicking back at the face of one biter that attempted to drag her down. Once she was sure of her safety, she chanced a look around for anything they could use to escape the growing numbers of biters surrounding them.

She saw another person a couple of blocks away from them, but Sam's gut told her not to bring attention to him. He didn't seem like an inherently bad person, but Sam caught sight of his gun, and if he was the skittish type then that could mean a bullet accidentally firing off and an injury that none of them had the supplies to deal with. She had enough experience with people toting guns without much knowledge on how to use them or the sensibilities for their wise usage. That only spelled trouble and they had enough as it was with the biters.

She gave the stranger a small nod, if only to signify that they were no threat to him, before continuing her search. Three cars from the one they were standing on was a building familiar to her. It was a small convenience store, the very same one that she had raided during her first day inside the city. A couple of days after that, when she had secured the bank as a base of sorts, she kept a makeshift bridge inside it to help her cross to the next building - the one that led back to the bank. If they managed to get to the building's roof and use the bridge, it could save them a whole heap of trouble.

She hopped over to the next car, motioning for the others to follow. [b]"You see that store? We can head to its roof and use it to get to the bank faster,"[/b] and safer, she left unsaid. [b]"Once we get to the roof, we're home free."[/b] There was a grin on her face as she lead them towards the building, one that only grew when she split a biter's skull in half as she moved on to another car.
