[B]"I believe there's some civilians over that way! Yeah I see somethin!"[/B] The soldier's voices grew louder.

The jeep began to turn around toward the direction of Joan and the group. Josef jerked Joan away from the gargling walker, after the axe girl had chopped it's arm off, and he smashed the biter's face in with his steel toe boot. All that remained was what looked like a disgusting, smashed watermelon that was black and dark red with brown rotted brains. The stench of the crushed decaying skull stung Joan's nose as Josef dragged her away. Her legs were bloody and she wasn't saying anything at this point. Josef looked around quickly with adrenaline shooting painfully through his veins and he could feel the arteries in his neck pulsing. [B]There was no where close enough to hide.[/B] They had to run. Josef picked up Joan into his arms and looked to the axe girl and whispered [B]"RUN."[/B]

Josef bolted from behind the bushes into the open parking lot and toward the motel entrance! The soldiers were already getting out of the jeep when Josef started to run, they weren't too close, but close enough to shoot. [B]"Hold your fire! You'll bring the biters. Go get them!"[/B] It wasn't clear who commanded the other troops, because Josef was focused on getting inside the motel safely with his sister in his arms. He had no time to think about if the axe girl would make it too. He spun intensely and used his back to smash open the motel doors and held it open just long enough for the axe girl to sprint through. He let the doors fall shut, but there was no time to lock them. Two soldiers were already on their heels - one held a double edged axe and the other a short sword with deep blood stain near the bottom of the blade, close to the handle. Josef bolted behind the receptionist desk and into the back room for employees only. He yanked the axe girl through the door and slammed it shut to lock it. The handle started to twist back and forth violently and the soldiers wasted no time hacking down the door. Josef's heart felt like it was going to stop if it beat any faster and he turned to see a back glass, door that lead to the other side of the motel where more rooms were available outside. Josef jerked his head to look at the girl with her axe and he looked back at the door that was easy to break if the soldiers discovered it. 

[B][I]"I'm bitten. I think it bit my legs."[/B][/I] Joan cursed through the tears that leaked unwillingly that were brought on from a sharp pain on her shin.

Josef felt like he was going in shock and his heart beat unimaginably. He busted out of the back door and lost almost all his senses of awareness as he slipped inside a random motel room outside and lay Joan on the bed. He wasn't even sure if the axe girl had followed. He had hoped she did, because from what he could tell, none of the soldiers saw which room he went into.
