Autumn was busy scavenging through cars for parts when he heard cars come up. Assuming it was Luke and Marshall coming back after getting gas he didn't turn around. It wasn't until he heard the car door slam that he bothered to turn around. Marshall was getting out of the car. Behind him was a police car that hadn't been there before. When the group had gathered around Marshall began to talk. He told them how Luke had been scratched on the ankle. How Marshall had shot him before he had turned. 

Running his hand through his hair Autumn swore, "Shit man. He's really... he's really gone? I know that we never got along well but... I just can't believe it." He slumped against the side of the car, his eyes dulling. His mind tried to comprehend Luke's death, but after so many that they had gone through... it was impossible. It was easier to just dull everything, just stop thinking.

However Autumn couldn't sit there and do nothing. Blame it on the ADD or his strong belief that the easiest thing was the worst. Standing up Autumn walked over to the hood of the car and pushed himself up on to it. He wanted to make sure everyone heard what he had to say. For Luke's sake. "Everyone, I know this is hard. Harder for some then most." he looked at Ash sadly, "But we can't allow ourselves to dull. In times like these it seems like the easiest thing to do, to lay down bellies up and just give up." He shook his head. "That is not what Luke would have wanted from us! He would have wanted us to survive!" 

Autumn's voice rose as it filled with passion. "I know we've just lost one of our own. Someone we felt was dear to ourselves, but I have a plan. A plan that Luke would want us to follow. These things." He pointed out down the road, gesturing that he meant the walkers. "they've killed us, beaten us down, and crippled our society. In many cases they've even broken our spirit. Yet here we are, we've managed to survive. Though with a few losses." Sadly smiling he looked around at the gathered group. "We are better than these animals. We are smart, capable, and kind. In this time of darkness we must make a light for ourselves."

Autumn's voice dropped, "I'm asking that you guys trust me, hear me out. If I'm wrong then we can figure something else out, but sitting here and doing nothing... It's not going to work. We have to do something, anything. In the name of Luke, lets survive." His speech done Autumn sat down of the car hood and took a deep breath. He wasn't used to making such big talks in front of people.
