[b]Tyler - The Road[/b]

Tyler exchanged a look with Brad before stepping toward the girl. Brad stepped in turn with him obediently. Al and Gregory stepped away from the supplies, their job done for now. A few feet from the 'line', Tyler stopped and shrugged. "Well, she's certainly pregnant," he said. He hadn't doubted that this woman would be; He was looking for cuts and bruises or some sign of physical impairment. It wouldn't do to receive a woman two steps away from a miscarriage. However, like described, she appeared to be a healthy woman, and no more damaged than anyone could expect in this world.

"You just come over to us," Brad said. "Everyone else stay back."

Tyler turned his head slightly to look at Brad. The man was shifting his weight from one foot to the other. It wasn't an exaggerated movement; Brad was probably unaware he was even doing it. Then there was the twitch, the slight nervous tic that Brad often exhibited on his face. He was clearly anxious, and Tyler started to worry that Brad might do something rash.

"I'll treat you right," Tyler said to the woman in an effort to relax her. He needed her to be calm and not to something crazy to set Brad off. "I promise you that."
