Cyrus watched the girls communicate. They weren't friends, so he assumed that they had just met. On seemed really nervous around people. The other girl seemed a little more relaxed. He also noticed that the girl grabbed some pills, he wondered what they were for.

Cyrus decided that hiding would do nothing for him. One girl was suggesting a move to the countryside. That had also been his plan. But she obviously didn't know about the horde that was cutting off any movement from the east, which so happened to lead to the countryside. They were lucky that the horde wasn't moving. Yet. 

Cyrus came out of his cover, and was delighted to see that they had their backs towards him. "I don't want to hurt you, but if you make any sudden movements, a bullet will be lodged in your brain before you can draw any of your weapons." He kept his pistol raised, finger on the trigger. "We you guys part of that crazy guy's zombie act?" That part had been bugging him, what was the doctor doing? 

Cyrus then lowered his weapon, but was still ready to shoot. He didn't want to scare them into joining his plan. "Hey you," he said, pointing towards Steph. "We have the same idea, moving towards the countryside. But there is a horde blocking any movement in the east. If any of us want to move to the west, then we are going to have to go through the horde. Or find a way to distract them. A partner or partners would be helpful t a time like this. There aren't a lot of us left, and there is strength in numbers. I would be willing to work with you. I have food and water," this was a dangerous proposal, he had no idea how they would react.
