The chat around the campfire was pleasant, and Joe found himself sleeping not long after it finished up. However, he was jolted out of his slumber when he heard the blood-curdling scream of their young charge. He looked around, noticing the head of a kid flying out of the trees and landing in the dirt. He rushed forward, noticing Shepherd had beaten him to the head and only then noticing it was Isaac's. The bulky man let out a depressed sigh, [color=burlywood]"... Poor kid."[/color]

He watched as some of his comrades formulated a plan, Sully and Sylvia already planning on heading into the woods to find the creature who did it and rescue Soldier and Rocket, who were both missing. They were planning on dragging Felix, Vix, and T (who Joe had mentally dubbed the 'robot with the damn fine coat'). He watched as Frankie said that he was planning on staying with the wagon to help bury Isaac.

[color=burlywood]"I'll stay with Shepherd and the super mutant,"[/color] Joe began, [color=burlywood]"I should be able to keep watch and protect anybody from any bandits that come by. The rest of you, good luck with finding Rocket, Soldier, and that damn monster."[/color] As he spoke, he had slid on his knuckle dusters, throwing a punch or two to get back into the groove of things before scanning the darkness for any threats.
