[b]Tyler - Baton Rouge Streets - Katie\Liam\Scarlett[/b]

Letting out a deep sigh, Tyler placed a hand on Katie's shoulder. "Scarlett's right-- it doesn't matter now. Forget about them." He gave George a look indicating that he'd tell him more later. "We've all survived up to this point on our own, so becoming a smaller group isn't going to kill us. We're all going to be fine." He steered her toward the open street and away from the pub. He looked on the horizon for a sign of anyone, but he couldn't see much at all in either direction. They'd have to pass by a few of the chained walkers to get back, and the thought filled Tyler with a sense of unease.

"I know the way," he said to Scarlett. "And I think we'll be avoiding the tall grass this time around." Moving to take Katie's hand, he started leading her down the road. Aa part of Tyler didn't want to do this-- didn't want to take Katie on yet another trip. He still wanted somewhere stable for her, a place where she could seriously learn and grow. It was just too bad that her daddy had to have messed things up once again.
