**Samantha - Baton Rouge - Abram**

After Samantha woke Turisa up, she gave the young woman a bit of space so that she could fix herself after she had gotten out of bed. She smiled apologetically and turned to face towards one of the few windows the room had and began to walk over as she listened to Turisa. "Yeah, pretty much. We'd feel better if you'd stay with the girls. If you came along with us, they'd be alone and just the thought of that makes me sick to my stomach." 

Once Samantha heard the jingle of the keys, she turned around and smiled at Turisa, making her way over to her. "Thank you so much. This means a lot to me." She made no promises to bring the truck back. From her previous experiences with not only the biters, but thugs that roamed the highways, there was no guarantee that they would even make it back alive. Either way, Sam was beyond grateful, feeling the slightest bit of hope once more and momentarily forgetting about her troubles. Without thinking, she gave the police officer a brief hug before muttering the words 'thanks' and 'sorry' and running off out of the room and downstairs to fetch Abram.

"Let's go. Jess and the baby still seem to be asleep, so Turisa will fill her in when she wakes up." Butterflies flew around in Sam's stomach as she thought about leaving the safety of the house. _'Back to the old routine'_ she thought as she grabbed her beretta and the blade she had been fiddling with while everyone was asleep. She stood at the door patiently while Abram gathered his things, watching him carefully. She would have to learn how to handle guns better and by the looks of it, Abram more than enough. 

Once they were ready, Sam was the first one out the door. She had already made sure that there were no biters in sight in the backyard, so she carefully crept around the side of the house with the blade at hand. 

Nothing.

It was still eerie how seemingly calm it was around the area. "Honestly, I feel like one of these days something is going to pop out of no where." Samantha sheathed her blade and began walking towards the truck, unlocking it with the small control that was attached to the key chain and tossed the keys to Abram. "Oh and, Turisa said if we could fill her up. We'll be needing more gas if we want to make a quick escape in case things get bad." With that being said, Sam climbed up into the passengers seat and sat her weapon down before looking for the map. In her time living in Louisiana, she had never really been outside of the University campus. Hopefully the map would be a better guide than she was.
