[h2]Jason - Office Building[/h2]

Jason walked out from the offices, most of them where little more than cubicles that offered no real protection he needed a real office with a solid door. Most of those he found had broken windows or had a dried pool of blood in them, not a good place to sleep. He had examined the north section of the offices on this floor wich was thankfully uneventful and only took a couple of minutes, he had taken off his mask as it did obstruct his vision and was somewhat uncomfortable. he walked back crossing in front of the stairs, nerves still on high alert as they had been for about 6 months now. Maybe the south section of the office was in better shape but he doubted it. 

He heard a noise from the stair well, initially he didnt register it as speech, he assumed it was one of the ghouls about to try and eat him. he whirled around drawing his knife in one motion. Natalie could see the genuine terror in his eyes as he prepared to fight for his life again. His muscles slowly relaxed as he realized he wasnt about to be attacked by the dead, but he knew he wasnt safe per-say. Several people had tried to rob him which is where most of his shotgun ammo had gone. It was then he finally processed that she had actually spoken to catch his attention. [color=f26522]'What was it she said? hello?'[/color] he thought to himself [color=f26522]'cant be too careful... people are just as dangerous as the ghouls.. she is pretty tho- no! safety first'[/color] She could see that he was processing the situation, scanning her, not in a lewd manner but as a threat assesment. She didnt seem terribly dangerous herself, she was definately smaller than he and probably a little younger she was lightly armed, no firearm which actually made him feel much safer.

[color=f26522]"H-Hi"[/color] he said finally [color=f26522]"Who are you? Are you alone?"[/color] he asked, fist still tight around the long knife with the knuckle guard. He could feel the effects of his hyper-vigilance, months of time without much real rest he was starting to distrust regular people which was either smart or very dangerous. He sighed realizing how it must have sounded, and looked, he lowered the knife to his side and apologized [color=f26522]"sorry, ahh.. come on up here we'll find a safe place to talk. I dont want to be out in the open for much longer"[/color] after speaking he took a few steps back and over the business woman zombie to look down one of the southern halls but specifically never turned his back to her while he did.
