	Rex traded a glare between the girl and the disarmed man.  The man's story was a tough pill to swallow.  Maybe he was telling the truth, maybe he wasn't... but if his version of things was that he got bested and outsmarted by a little girl then he probably deserves to be a victim, Rex decided.  At the girl's beckoning, Rex gave King a nod and the two moved in unison, letting the girl take a slight lead.

	[i]Another woman[/i], Rex thought, recalling the little girl's mention of a mother.  [i]Another potential mouth to feed[/i].  This new world they found themselves living in had brought out the pessimist in him.  He tried to skew his outlook, look at the brighter side.  Maybe they already had supplies.  Maybe they've got a system for sustainability.  It was worth checking out.

	The dog slowed his pace and allowed a rumbled growl to escape his teeth.  Rex looked to the little girl and made a quiet, but stern command: "Stop."  The biters were closing in on the sound of the gunshots from before.  Rex knew their approach was inevitable, but he was hoping it would be slower... that they'd have more time to get where they were headed.  With the bow still in hand, Rex readied a new bolt and pointed it toward the ever growing sound of the undead, anticipating their gross, decaying faces to come around the corner at any moment.

	"Little Bit, y'know a diff'rent way to get to your mama?" Before she could answer, Rex looked back at the crippled bearded man and tried to decide if he cared enough to offer the man aid.  Surely he wouldn't be able to walk right and his shoulder was already significantly damaged by the bolt from before.  Truthfully, the most merciful thing Rex could do at this point was to finish what he started before the ghouls found their feast. Rex's stare was cold, his eyes unblinking before he ultimately came to his decision.  [i]Not worth the ammo.[/i]
