He made his ways up the steps and towered over most all around him standing at six and a half feet tall and weighing in at just over 250 pounds. The man was older, easily approaching his mid-fifty's but one too many had taken his older age and thick layer of fat as weaknesses. There was a reason that the steel blue eyed elder was the second in charge of Eden and the enforcer for their lord God [url=http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1cynuhiF31qkzq2g.gif]Adamm[/url]. [color=ed1c24]"Yes... In some thing's they are very innocent but if we are not careful and strike down with vengeance they could become a thorn in our sides. Especially now that we know she is there."[/color] Adamm made a point to stress what he was saying as he sat back in his throne like chair from which he ruled the city of Peachtree from. [color=lightgray]"He could have been mistaken, he was never very reliable."[/color] Shoving the stained rag back into his pocket he pushed up his glasses a bit and looked over towards Adamm, only to see the Father shaking his head. [color=ed1c24]"One does not mistake her."[/color] Picking at his nail with the tip of his pocket knife Adamm he looked up and over to the cage in center of the room. [color=fff79a]"Let me the fuck out of here you wankers! I didn't do shit and you're tossing me in the cage? For what? Because some idiot think he saw Zoie and because another who ain't happy with his chipped beef on toast says I helped her? I ain't helped no one in this life but me! You know that Adamm!"[/color] Ryan bellowed from the thin bars. [color=lightgray]"Shut your cake hole O'Riley,"[/color] Nathen barked as his thin chin wobbled. [color=fff79a]"Eat me Nate."[/color] Adamm just smirked. Ryan had a big mouth but he was manipulative and cunning. He had proved useful over the years in Eden, it was why Adamm kept him around but he kept a close eye on the man. Out of all the people in the city Ryan was one he knew could get to him, to have him killed. It was better to keep him close where he could watch him. Now with the sighting of Zoie over in Newnan, the man might prove even more valuable. There was no proof that O'Riley had helped the girl escape but something ticked at the back at the old man's head that told him he was at the center of it. "Boss, we got trouble! A Hoard is coming in!" one of the men of Eden yelled as he came running in from outside. "Got to be hundreds of them!" Adamm scowled deeply as he stood up and was escorted by Nathan to the front to look out. Everyone in the place rushed to see what was happening and chaos was about to ensue before Adamm turned and instructed everyone on what they should do. They did not hesitate and went to work. Ryan stood there; watching, waiting. Until he was able to make sure no eyes were on him. This would be his one chance. A quick pick of the rusted locks, and he was out and into the crowd that was running around barricading the doors and windows as the hoard approached. Ryan kept his head down and his mouth shut for once, slipping out the back with his things as the hoard got to the Golf Course Club House. He didn't know his chances but he knew they were better than sticking around. He had seen the look Adamm had given him before with others. It meant his time was drawing near and Ryan was sure as hell not going to stick around for what he knew was coming. [hr][center][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/iqgzzQam3fJQY/giphy.gif[/img][/center][hr] It had been a month since Ryan had escaped Eden with a pack in hand. It hadn't been an easy month. He knew once the hoard was cleared out they would be looking for him if they didn't find his body among those that were going to be scattered on the ground. He had taken the long and hard road from Peachtree City to the one place he knew might be safe; Newnan. Granted he also knew Newnan would be a target as soon as things calmed down in Eden but Ryan was one of those that liked to place a bet and then stack the odds in his favor. If he could get inside the walls he could learn a lot. If Eden got the upper hand, he could always play the ace up his sleeve. Right then though as the wall came into view as he walked up the street, he knew he only had one ace left currently. That was Zoie. Sure, they weren't friends but he had helped her escape Eden and he had never laid a hand on her while she was there. He was placing all his bets on that little bit. He knew Zoie had one of those people with big hearts, that she forgave people, was a good person. It what was used to capture her in the first place. Her kindness had been her downfall. Maybe it would work again. Not that he had set out to intentionally dick her over but if it came down to her or him, he would always chose himself first. The closer he got to Newnan, the more clear it became that there were a lot more people standing guard at various posts around the city. [color=fff79a]"They're learning,"[/color] he said to himself as he continued to walk down the road and over the bridge that lead to the main outer gate. He didn't bother trying to hide or sneak up. It was best to appear as if he was laying all his cards out on the table right then. He knew Zoie was going to be suspicious of him anyways as soon as she laid eyes on him, it was best not to make matters worse by breaking and entering. "Stop right there," Jim said from his post on the tower as he aimed the rifle right at the Irishman's head. Ryan did as he was told, stopping in his tracks. He held his bag out gradually and dropped it on the ground before raising his hands above his head and turning around slowly. [color=fff79a]"I'm looking for a friend, maybe you have seen her,"[/color] Ryan yelled up to the tower post as he finished turning around fully. Flashing the guard a smile as his eyes squinted from the sun light. "Doubt it, once people get separated now a days chances of finding them are next to none," Jim called out keeping the rifle in place as he took aim through the scope. [color=fff79a]"Yeah, I know but hey, gotta try. Young woman, about this tall. Got dirty strawberry blond hair, bright blue eyes and a hell of a right hook. Real backwoods country accent, sounds like something off Heehaw. Pretty thing and real crazy. Goes by the name of Zoie,"[/color] Ryan said as he cupped his palm over the furrow of his brow to shield his eyes from the sun. Jim slowly lowered the rifle and looked at Ryan directly. Ryan smiled at the reaction. [color=fff79a]"You know her don't you. Please, I'm not asking to get inside, I'm here to warn her. Can you have her come to the gate? Please."[/color] "Warn her about what?" Jim asked as his brow arched over one eye. [color=fff79a]"Eden."[/color] [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=f6989d]Zoie Crawford[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://67.media.tumblr.com/490e96c0165229490a50aa25bacb1019/tumblr_ms3lqysnH41rbmftbo1_500.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][i]Location:[/i][/b] Mess Hall -> Inside Newnan Front Gate[hr][/center] [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ea/88/08/ea88089912dfe9a0af1e0adf2a1b621e.jpg]Miss Sally[/url] same over holding two trays that looked like what used to be used by schools or prisons to serve food on. On each tray was some scrambled eggs, powdered but hey they were eggs, little bit of beef sausage and potato hash, a glass of chilled milk that had been powder that morning but again hey it was milk, and a single fresh peach. "Here you two go, looks like you could use this," she said before setting the trays down in front of them and resting a fork on top of each tray. "Anything else?" [color=f6989d]"Naw, that be great Miss Sally, thank ya,"[/color] Zoie said as she took a seat across from the couple and smiled. Miss Sally nodding her head a bit and turning to go back to work. Zoie looked back over to the couple and pushed the trays a bit closer to them. [color=f6989d]"Eats up, y'all need it from the looks of it,"[/color] she said as she glanced around, waiting for Bossman to arrive. She kept watching the door but then perked a brow as she heard him and turned around after he came out of the back. [color=f6989d]"This be Tatiana and Jack boss,"[/color] she said and was about to say more as her and Ash's radios started to hiss a bit. "Momma, we have someone at the gate that says he knows you," Jim's voice said as it crackled in over the radio on the southern belle's hip. Zoie stopped and a confused look came over her face as she undid it from her belt and relayed back. [color=f6989d]"Jim, whatcha be goin' on 'bout? Who be sayin' they know me?"[/color] Taking her fingers off the button she rubbed her nose with the back of her hand as she gave Ash a sideways glance. As far as she knew the only person she actually knew before she came into the walls was Froggy and he was in the walls. "Says his name is Ryan O'Riley and he needs to talk to you; about Eden," Jim said and Zoie nearly choked on her own tongue as she started coughing. That was a name she never thought she would hear again. It sent a chill down her spine and made her stomach knot up. [color=f6989d]"Son of a bitch,"[/color] Zoie muttered and stood up quickly. [color=f6989d]"Okay folks, I be leavin' ya with bossman here. I gots somethin' to take care of,"[/color] she said quickly before excusing herself and walking as calmly as she could out the door of the Mess Hall. Once outside she broke into a full sprint as she unholstered her side arm. [color=f6989d]"If it really be who he says he is, we might be in for a werld of hurtin'. Posts, y'all keep an eye out and lock downs all gates tight until further notice. Jim, gets him inside the outer gate but don't be takin' yer eye off him!"[/color] she called into the radio as she turned on her heels and started high tailing it towards the front entrance of the Inner Wall Gate. "Got it," Jim radioed back as Zoie kept running through town to get to the main gate. "Alright, you heard her folks," he yelled to the Gate workers and gave a single as he lifted his hand in the air. The outer wall gate opened slowly, just enough to let Ryan walk inside. "Come on," Jim said as he took aim at O'Riley's head once again. Ryan nodded as he picked up his back slowly and cautiously stepped inside. Well, he hadn't been shot; yet. Once he was inside the door closed hard behind him and he looked around. [color=fff79a]"Damn,"[/color] he said to himself, they had nice set up it seemed even if all guns were trained on him. Zoie was running as hard as she could, bolting right passed James as if he wasn't there and down the road towards the outer gate at top speed as if she was Fasuba. Hearing boot hitting gravel he turned back around and looked down the street only to see Zoie coming towards him with a none to happy look in her eye and both her pistols draw now and aimed right at him. He dropped his bag and held his hands up in surrender quickly. [color=fff79a]"Hey girl, long time no see,"[/color] he said with a cheeky grin on his lips as his teeth flashed. [color=f6989d]"Not bein' long enough fer me O'Riley."[/color] Zoie said in flat tone as she pulled the hammer back on both her guns, taking several deep breaths. [color=f6989d]"Whatcha be wantin'?"[/color] Ryan stayed standing there, glancing over his shoulders and looking back at the gate he had walked through before looking back over to Zoie and cocking a crooked smile. [color=fff79a]They know you're here."[/color] Those words made Zoie blink and she slowly lowered her guns, letting the hammers fall back into place carefully as she held the barrels pointed at the ground. She swallowed slightly as Ryan finally dropped his hands and took a slow step forward. [color=fff79a]"They saw you, during the raid. Adamm knows Zoie. Nathen didn't believe Tomas but Adamm sure did."[/color] [color=f6989d]"Fuck me,"[/color] Zoie said as she looked at the ground for a minute and kicked at the dirt. [color=fff79a]"Well if you want,"[/color] Ryan said in a sly voice. Zoie's response was to raise her gun and point it right back at his head without evening looking at him. [color=fff79a]"Kidding, kidding!"[/color] [color=f6989d]"Why you be here tellin' me? We ain't exactly two peas in a pod,"[/color] she asked, skeptical of his intentions, as she looked over at him and kept her pistol aimed where it was. [color=fff79a]"Survival. Mind getting me out of the sun before I tell you anything else? It's hot as hell out here and I am thirsty as fuck,"[/color] Ryan said. It wasn't a lie, it was hot and he was thirsty but he wanted out of the sun and the direct line of fire as quickly as possible. [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=82ca9d]Astrid Hansen[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]http://images.tvfanatic.com/iu/s--8-B1APp7--/t_full/f_auto,fl_lossy,q_75/v1458094974/lagertha-vikings.jpg[/img][/center][hr][hr][center][b]Location:[/b] The Infirmary [/center][hr] Astrid tossed the papers that had surrounded the band-aide into the trash and got back to work. She only had a few things to straighten up before she was able to sit down at the desk and pull out her worn copy of the Nursing Diagnosis Handbook and went to her studies. She had a lot to learn still even though she had picked up a lot and been taught even more by Froggy over the last month. Sighing she pushed the book away and grumbled a bit under her breath. She was brooding. Neisha hadn't said two words to her when she dropped off Sophia and the rudeness of the situation was starting to get to her. Astrid had done what she could over the last month to ensure that Neisha had gotten to see Sophia. Froggy didn't want the woman anywhere near the infirmary, but Astrid had arranged for the girl to be able to stop by and made sure to keep her informed. Astrid felt no remorse for binding the woman when she came in that day. She was acting like a raving lunatic, as if she knew everything and owned the joint. Only causing treatment to be delayed and ticking off the resident doctor. The woman's attitude and self righteousness had been a plague since she arrived. But Astrid had kept her mouth shut and kept doing her job. But to keep acting this way over a month. Astrid had had it. Rudeness and lack of gratitude was not something she could tolerate. Looking over as Bridgette came in she leaned back in her chair and shook her head. [color=82ca9d]"No, haven't seen Triple B today. Maybe she is walking the perimeter?"[/color] she said as she crossed her arms over her chest. Kicking a chair out to her friend she finally unloaded what was going through her mind. Astrid wasn't one to talk a lot but when she finally did really voice herself, she voiced it in detail and quickly. Sighing she rubbed the bridge of her nose. [color=82ca9d]"To take a page from your book. Fuck that cunt."[/color] [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=a187be]Tatiana Korvo[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]http://www.tvworthwatching.com/img/pages/RPQHOBXVVZ2FLYJ.jpg[/img][/center][hr][hr][center][b]Location:[/b]The Mess Hall [/center][hr] Tatiana stayed next to Jack, following his lead and sitting down next to him in silence as her eyes darted about. Her fingers folding over Jack's as the food was brought over to them and sat down by the older woman. She forced a bit of a thin lipped smile to her and nodded. [color=a187be]"Dank you,"[/color] she squeaked out. She felt the butterflies in her stomach flittering around and sighed. She hated being this nervous around people but after everything she was just glad she hadn't passed out. Seeing Ash come over and introduce himself she stayed seated, just holding onto Jack's hand as he stood and went to shake the man's hand. She was happy at least one of them could function as a normal adult. [color=a187be]"I Tatiana,"[/color] she said in that same squeaky nervous voice as she looked up at Ash and then her eyes darted back down. Figuring she would let the others just talk until she was directly addressed she sat there, touching the edge of her tray a bit but not eating yet. Then Zoie suddenly got word in from the front gate and excused herself. She wondered what that was about but as it came into through the radio Tatiana went white. Worried something bad was going to happen, worried they would be blamed since they arrived just before whoever this Ryan guy was. Letting out a shaky breath she tightened her hand in Jack's, squeezing it.
