[b]Aleck Inside the Store with Emma[/b]

Aleck had a sudden urge to attack the seemingly submissive girl, the urge was so overwhelming it made him pause as he was forced to regain his senses. The pause lasted for a mere instant, he hoped that he hadn't made a strange face. 

"There," he said after clearing his throat. He couldn't hurt this girl, his sister needed a companion and it was rare finding girls close to her age among the living, the last one he had found had been caught by a group of raiders. He had killed the group but had incidentally gotten the girl caught in the crossfire. She was shot in the stomach and thigh, the thigh was just a flesh wound but the shot to the stomach had been from a shotgun, the internal damage was too severe, so he lopped off her head so she wouldn't turn. The girl had begged for him to save her but she was already a corpse she just hadn't realized it yet.

"We have to get out of here," He grabbed his sword and pulled it out of its scabbard. He had been too loud while bringing the girl to the store, already he could see three walkers coming their way, though they were still at a distance Aleck didn't like taking unnecessary risks. 

Aleck found himself in a moment of indecision, should he take this girl back to his haven or should he stay here and continue to wait for the result of the church fighting? He wanted more guns than the two magnum pythons strapped on his body. He decided to take a quick peek in the direction of the church and found that the raiders were leaving. There were a butt-load and a half of walkers around the church by now but at least there were no raiders, this was going to be his only chance in a very long while to acquire more guns, all the gun stores and depots had been raided in the early days by the stronger groups. 

"Here," he handed the girl a walkie-talkie, he set it to the proper channel. "Stay quiet and stay hidden. Call me if you get in danger and I will try and find you but right now I have to go do something. My name is Aleck by the way."

With that he stripped off his pack and everything that weighed him down placing it behind the cashier counter and left at a running pace towards the church keeping out of sight of the retreating raiders.
