[center][b]Joe Carter[/b][/center] Joe noticed a change in Lexie's expression after he mentioned his parents beying from New York. But after she asked him from where exactly, Joe smirked, looked downwards and then back at Lexie. "Like I mentioned before i'm not from Mew York. I was born here in L.A., my parents and my brother are from New York. Well, they're from Brooklyn, New York City actually. They lived there for quite some time, up until my brother turned 5 years old. After that they moved here in LA, where I was born 4 years later." Said Joe as he wiped his forehead with his right hand. When Lexie asked him about his brother and if he knows if he's at Camp Pendleton or not, Joe took a deep breath and frowned. "I have no idea if he's there or not. I hope he is. He's the only family I have left. That's why I wanna go there." Said Joe with a serious face. Shortly after that both Joe and Lexie where distracted by some branches snapping and the sound of leaves beying moved around. Joe saw that Lexie imidieatly gripped her 1911 and he did the same thing with his KA-BAR knife. But he let go and went over to the Lincoln Mark VIII and opening the car. "You know what Lex? Let's just get out of here before more of those crazies show up. And since we were both heading to Camp Pendleton, then I say we go there." Said Joe as he got inside the car and started to twist the ignition key. After the first twist the car didn't start, after the 2nd twist the same thing. "Come on God damnit!" Said Joe upset as he twisted the ignition key the 3rd time. This time the car started as Joe closed the door. The Lincoln's front left fender plus the left door were a little bented in after Joe grazed that tree, plus the left side mirror was gone along with some paint from the bented left sides. But aside from that the car was still functional, and that was what mattered. After revving the car a little Joe started driving slowly forward, taking advantage of the small strip of road that was still accesible. "At this rate we should be at Camp Pendleton in a couple of minutes." Said Joe as he looked at Lexie and smiled.
