[b]Aleck Encounters Emma on the Tracks[/b]

Aleck saw the girl coming long before she reached the tracks, he noted that she was injured, there was blood. She was weak but she didn't seem to be "dying", he could tell these things, when someone is infected. With practiced ease he exited his sanctuary and made his way towards the girl at a running pace.

He unsheathed the sword and strapped the scabbard to his back when he got within fifty yards, he would need to be quick but silent so he left the guns holstered. The thing about the undead is that they cannot feel "danger" and only feel the drive to feed so they cannot perceive the danger of a sword and thus do nothing to avoid its blade. He cut down the first of the undead as he approached the girl then another drawing the attention of the rest. He avoided dealing with the big one until it was the last one standing, he didn't want to try and deal with the big one while the other ones were still up, if they had caught him then it would have been the end of him since he doubted he had the strength to tango mano a mano with the big none.

He sliced deep into its right thigh dropping it low before arching overhead and swinging down with full force for a decapitating blow.

"And there we go..." Aleck said to himself using the big one's backside to wipe off the blood from his sword. He unhitched the sword from his back and sheathed it before hitching it back on again, after which he made a quick double check to ensure that the revolvers were loaded. With that done and out of the way he scanned the area temporarily ignoring the distressed girl, Aleck had already an escape route set up but now he was checking its viability before heading through it. To his satisfaction the route appeared to be clear and viable.

"Hold on now," he said to the girl. He grabbed her hand, lifted her quickly up off the ground and draped her over his shoulder, he wrapped one arm around the back of her knees and the other on her butt securing her in place as he made a mad dash for the safety of the store he had previously been occupying. "Don't scream or anything because that will kill us both."
