James kept watch, nodding his head when Ethan asked to have a moment, lump in his throat that he tried to keep down. The dead kept shuffling in waves, a sicking thought entering his mind, they could have been there, they could have been torn apart. The house they were in was already swallowed by the things.  
He could hear the cracking voices and breaking souls behind him. Johnny explaining how he should never try that with him, the kid just shook his head. "I really don't give a fuck, if there's a chance you can make it out and I have an idea, than I'm taking it. My mom left me to save her own ass, I'm not going to do that."

Hearing the jeep he turned back, watching it come closer to view. "Ethan, come on we have to go." His own voice betraying him he hesitated for only a moment, looking back at the woman that Ethan called Sarah. "I'm sorry..." He was sorry he couldn't help, he was sorry that he was always one step behind. Reena trusted him to be able to help her and he failed. 
He was sorry.
A few tears falling from his face, he jumped, her face forever haunting him.

"Been hunting my whole life, ain’t much different." The red head just leaped in, crossbow aimed at the ready, she been keeping her quiver full by pulling the bolts from their bodies, but how long was that going to last with hordes like these? Shes gonna have to start making her own again. "Not that far, red building just down the street, we'll probably find a car when we're out, can stock up from there."

Keeping a stance in the jeep, ready to launch herself out on a moment's notice, Reena looked up to see James and Johnny, the pair jumping off the platform followed by Ethan. "You guys okay?" Looking up, waiting for the woman to follow, she found her heart sink a bit. Listening to what seemed to be the end of her life, looking to Dallen she shook her head, it was time to go. And not say a word. 

The ride was quiet, at first it was chaos as they escaped the horde but now, no one spoke a word. James kept his head down, sitting next to Ethan and unable to look the man in the eye. It was tearing him apart, and it worried her, no, it scared her. The kid was going to have to change and change painfully fast is he was going to survive out here. 
"Over there"
Just as she said, a car sat abandoned on the road. Jumping out she held her crossbow, her steps that of a hunter, trying to listen for any signs of movement. A breath escaping her after a few moments she looked inside, abandoned, a child's car seat in the back. A sight that now, made her a little sick.
Finding a gas tank in the back she filled it from the car, transferring it to the Jeep. "That horde is going to be moving downhill, did you notice? Gravity just pushes them around when wind shown up. Guess we can go up, lay low for a few days, than come back to the barn and restock. Figure out a plan and work from there. I have a back up generator there, might have one last hot shower."

The road was empty, the only sound was given from a few cows in the distance that broke out from their fields, poor souls would be food soon. Head turning up from the sounds of birds she gave another sigh of relief, birds meant safety. Least for now. Turning back to look at the group, Reena noticed James rummaging through the saddle bag, producing a bottle of water and offering to Ethan as a piece offering, still unable to really say much. "Before we really start working together, Dallen, that your name right? How you get so good at all this? Ex military or something? Johnny can tell you, I like knowing who has my back and you seem to know what your doing."
