[b]Weather:[/b] Light rain
[b]Location:[/b] Franklin, GA.
[b]Interacting With:[/b] Ashton, Maria and Kris [/center][hr]
[color=steelblue]"Ma'am? Couple points of bad news: We're almost at where we're headed, that being Franklin. Need all of us on the clock. Best I can offer is freezedried MRE coffee. Also, can't help you with the painkillers, least not yet." [/color]

A groan and small gag escaped Lorna at the mention of coffee. [color=olive]”Uuugh, coffee… No thanks. Yeuck.”[/color] She shuddered a little at the mere thought of it and shook her head to get herself back in the game. Of all the things to get disgusted by in this world… Her face fell a little bit further when she heard they didn’t have any painkillers but she had put up with worse pain than this so it wasn’t too big of a deal.

[color=steelblue]"The good news: We're scouting for supplies, medical being part of that. Franklin's a small town, low population, off the beaten. There might still be things worth having. Now, I promise, the first four Naproxen we find are all you."[/color]

Light laughter rang out and Lorna gave a grin towards Ash. [color=olive]”I’ll be holding you to that promise, Cap.”[/color] Her eyes shifted over to watch Maria and Kris for a moment. She was glad that Maria wasn’t dead but she knew how much Kris had missed her sister and to find out that she wasn’t dead after months of uncertainty? Lorna wasn’t about to interrupt their reunion just yet.

[color=steelblue]"We're five minutes out of town. Another five to get to the downtown. Unless it's crawling, that's where we're setting up base camp. Three of the spots we're hitting are right around there, so it's a good place to start. I'll brief everyone on site, soo... you've got ten to close your eyes. Wish I could do you better."[/color]

Nodding while Ash spoke, Lorna listened intently despite her weariness and her smile seemed to split her face in two when she realised what Ash was saying. [color=olive]”You’re my new favourite person, Ash. No offence girls.”[/color] She winked at Maria and ruffled Kris’s hair a little before settling herself down into her seat more, getting comfortable to grab her power nap. She adjusted her cap and rested it over her eyes to keep out the slowly rising sun.

[color=steelblue] "Hey, Marine,"[/color] 

Lorna lifted her cap with a couple of gentle fingers and peeked out from underneath it at Ash. She noticed the ammo and stretched her left hand out, taking them from him. 

[color=steelblue]"hang on to that carbine 'till we're home, ok? I hope we can avoid using it, but if we have to leave fast and loud, I want someone screaming OORAH carrying the damn thing."[/color] 

Maria definitely had good taste in friends and Lorna silently thanked the powers that be for keeping Maria safe with good people like this. She had thought Maria, if she’d been alive, had been suffering worse than she and Kris had but apparently it was the other way around. Her mind quickly snapped back to the present. A nod of the head and her cap falling back down over her eyes was all the answer she could muster but a small whisper left her lips as she began to pass out in the back seat of the car. [color=olive]”Ooh-fucking-Rah.”[/color][hr]
Time flew by quicker than Lorna would have liked but she could hear the tell-tale noises of the engine slowing as they approached their destination. Lorna stretched her body out as best she could in the confines of the SUV and fixed her cap back on her head, tucking her hair up into it to keep it all out of her way while they did what they had to do. [color=olive]”Alright Cap, thanks for the cat nap. I’m ready and rarin’. What’s the first stop?”[/color] Just as she asked the question and began getting her gear in order, the M4 being slung over her shoulder she could hear the familiar crackle of a radio and raised an eyebrow at what came out of it.
