[b]Robert - Haywood Gates - Daniel/Amy/Etc.[/b]

The man before him revealed his status in the United States Army which brought a faint smile to Robert's face. With a distant laugh, Robert spoke up himself. "A fellow brother in arms then. Robert Dalton, First Company Sergeant" the man declared. He took Daniel by the arm and shook it with respect. Men who served in the armed forces were relatively connected in some odd way. People who haven't served would not understand, but those who have can relate to what Robert was feeling. 

In addition to them both having military backgrounds, Daniel reminded Robert of his actual younger brother. Robert had lost his little brother when he was visited by him during the war with Afghanistan. Robert was in the infirmary during that time, he had broken three of his fingers during a futile attempt to overtake a certain terrorist group. Anyhow, during his time in the infirmary, his brother arrived to keep him company. During that time, the infirmary was being infiltrated by a small unit of terrorist. To cut to the chase, his brother was killed along with many other good men and doctors. Robert and a few of his brothers were abducted and tortured for days at end. A squad of U.S. soldiers luckily got there in time to save them. Robert had to attend rehab for about six months to get over that insanity he attained from solitary containment. 

"We've got our squad mobilizing right now Daniel. We were thinking of attacking them head on, maybe our forces will outmatch theirs. But now that you say you know a way around them, then lets do it your way. Everything is ready, weapons, ammunition, everything. I hate to say it, you're a stranger and all, but I suppose I'll have you lead us" he told Daniel, turning to the gates. "Roll out! Let's get going!" Robert yelled, waving his hand to announce to the drivers to start exiting the community. As the vehicles roared in the background, Robert returned his attention to Daniel. "Your friend, ummm.......Shay was it? Anyhow, she'll be safe in the city. We've got a decent medical group working on her as we speak, don't worry. "C'mon, we head out now. I know it's overwhelming, I know its sudden, but we've decided to do this now" he started, opening the slide door to the black van. "I'm sorry to hear about your sister and I know all you wanna do is save her, but I need you to focus on my men. These are [i]my[/i] men, but they'll be under your command. If anything happens to them, its on you. I'm trusting you to put thirty lives over one. I know its hard to do, but you were in the military, you know what your priorities are. Let's go, get in" Robert finished, entering the van with Daniel and Amy, shutting the door behind them. He then handed them their weapons, the ones taken from their truck. "You'll need them." 

"You with them?" a guard called out to Enrique. The guard was in the bed of the truck with two more armed men. If Enrique answered [i]yes[/i] then the guards would allow him to enter the bed and go with them to raid the raiders. If he answered [i]no[/i], then there would be a problem. In the meantime, the old man was allowed into the community. The guard that helped him inside was leading him to Haywood's infirmary. "I'm taking you to our little medical center. The medics aren't all that educated in their field, but together they can heal most of us. I mean, nobody has really died from any illness or anything. One of your friends was taken in here too, the girl with the bullet wound. How did that happen anyway? Was it the raiders?" the random guard asked the old man. 

The van and the following trucks then rushed through the streets, heading to the catacombs at dashing speeds. The sun was shinning brightly in the faces of the drivers as the burst through the wind. The hiss of the engines called the walkers hiding in the grasslands. From time to time one could see their small decomposed heads pop out of the bushes, their hands reaching for the trucks. Robert just stared out of the window, his elbow laying on the armrest as his hand covered his mouth. He was lost in thought that man, worried for what was about to happen. He felt they were rushing this, but this little leverage they had, this second entrance was not something they could pass on. After a timely travel, the group was about a mile out from the catacombs. All the trucks stopped as the van instructed them to. Robert turned to Daniel and Amy before speaking and opening the slide door. "We walk from here. You will lead most of these men through the entrance you spoke of. I will attack from the front, catching their attention while y'all flank them." The men started to get into two groups, two thirds of them turning to Daniel for instruction, the rest following Robert. Robert started to walk down the road, but before fading from Daniel's sight, he turned to him. "Kill that son of a bitch for me!"

[b]Floyd - Catacombs - Katie/Lauren/Lynn[/b]

Lynn's words were getting to Floyd, the redneck just stood up as she started to call him out. Though she hated to agree with her, she was right. He couldn't let something so stupid get to him, there were more important things to worry about. But regardless her being right, regardless her helping him escape that pitiful trance, Floyd wasn't going to let her shit go unnoticed. "Shut up bitch" he told Lynn off, trying to return to his regular self. He had finally shown them a small portion of weakness, how even [i]he[/i] could fall. 

But once he returned, he [i]returned[/i]. That same arrogance and winning personality sprang up from his deep soul. His thoughts regained consciousness, which helped him understand what the people around him were saying. He listened to Lauren and could actually make sense of what she was taking about. Maybe if they could find the other girl, they'd have a clue where Jess was taken. Or maybe that wasn't even Lauren's plan. Still, Floyd did not trust the raider, regardless her statement that she wanted nothing to do with them. "Let's go" Floyd said, starting down the hallway in the way Lynn pointed. He turned to Lauren in the process, "What do ya wanna do bout the brat?" he asked her. There was no way he was bringing her along, no way. "And what exactly is ya game plan? We can't just stand here and wait for sum shit to happen, we've gotta do sumthin. She's sumwhere in here and I gotta find her. I gotta at least see her, just to make sure she's alright."
