Maddie looked at Robert with a bit of annoyed expression, she was feeling sick and tired but she knew better than to take her uneasy feelings out on him. She stared at Robert for what felt like forever as he took a pause before beginning his story about an inexperienced tracker. Maddie became more interested as the story continued, her face turned from annoyed to intrigued. As he continued Maddie began to feel pity for shouldering such a burden, she also felt a joy that he was willing to open up to her on such a difficult memory. She sighed one he was done speaking.

She wasn’t able to finish her sentence before a sharp pain struck her neck. By the time she realized what happened she already began to lose feeling in her legs. Her face was confused for a moment before she was able to understand that it was Robert holding the tranquilizer gun. The confusion turned into anger as she let go the side of the boat and tried to lung at Robert slurring threats that were ineligible, only to fall in front of him. With no movement left in her body, she could only lie face first on the ground and listen to Robert talk as the world around her began to fade to black. The last thing Maddie felt was being lifted off the deck, her last thought was that she at least would be able to get some rest.

---------------------------------------------

Maddie awoke to guns blazing, men screaming and a helmet that was a little too large for her head. She shook off the grogginess from waking up from what seemed like an impossible nap. Over to her right across the road in a building was a young man with a red cross on his helmet sewing up a soldier with a gunshot wound in his leg. Quickly she began to stand up to run over and help but bullets began to fly in front of her, she backed up a bit and then bullets flew behind her. She was stuck… in the middle of a firefight. The young man started to struggle and the injured more solid began to scream, Maddie could only watch as the young man tried struggled to patch up the soldier.

She yelled over the gunfire, approvingly towards the building that held the young medic and his patient. Then there was silence, everything became quite. A bright flash a loud boom and the ground began to shake. The building began to collapse, Maddie was paralyzed as she watched the two men get crushed by the newly formed rubble. Her mouth opened to scream but her voice no longer worked, tears rolled down her face as she felt someone begin to shake her and call out. No one was with her anymore yet she felt someone trying to reach her.



-----------------------------------------------------

Maddie’s eyes slowly opened, but quickly they closed as the sun shined through the window onto her face. She tried to lift her hand to block out the sun but it was still heavy and took too much effort to hold it up. After a moment the sun was blocked out, she opened up her eyes again and looked out the window and all she could see was trees? She started to gain more energy back and sat straight up but became light headed instantly and needed to brace herself so she would go back down. 

[color=82ca9d]“Where are we? Wha… what is going on?” [/color]

EJ looked excited to see Maddie awake he helped her into a seat in the RV and was able to explain what had happened and how they have ended up in the back of an RV. Maddie was still distraught and had effects from the Tranquilizer, each bump and turn would result in Maddie slumping over to the side but gradually she began to regain some feeling. Which may be bad news for Robert if she is back to her normal self by the time they come to a stop.

[color=82ca9d]“I swear to god EJ I am going to kill that man for what he tried to do. He not only attacked me and you but he put the scientist’s lives in danger also. He may have just tried to kill them all. As soon as I regain my feeling in my legs I’m going to kick that self-righteous pompous ass of his.”[/color]
