[b]Robert - Haywood Gates - Everyone that is there[/b]

With then entire situation escalating, Robert cocked his shotgun, prepared to fire at any incoming threat. The guards followed and prepared their rifles, all of them loaded. They obtained an assortment of ammunition by trading off Jessalyn, something they didn't really want in the first place. But anyhow, as Robert started for Daniel, another being popped from space. An old man, walking towards the gates was stopped by a guards command. Robert turned to the old man, then back to Daniel. He wondered if this was an attack or distraction set up by Tyler himself. He feared that Tyler knew Haywood was planning to betray them back there. If he did, this might be the first step to taking down Haywood. 

"Apprehend him!" Robert instructed one of his guards. The guard rushed towards the old man pointing his weapon at him. "On your knees" he told the old man, ending up behind him, patting him down for any weaponry. "He's clear!" the guard called back to Robert. Robert returned his attention to Daniel before speaking. "You say you've got an injured party member in there?" he questioned again, making sure his response would be the same. But then something altered his trance of thought. The one that seemed to be the leader of their group spoke out about the raiders, meaning Tyler's group. "Whatcha know about the raider?" Robert asked, his rasp coming off strongly. 

Suddenly, three more guards came out of Haywood, joining Robert and the other two guards. They started for Daniel and started to pat him down along with Amy. They nodded in regards to them being clear. "The truck" Robert instructed as the guards emptied the truck of the weapons that were inside. One of the guards was beside Shannon, looking at her injury and the severity of it. "She's been shot, its not a bite" the guard called out to Robert. "Take the truck inside, you two just stay were you are" he told Daniel and Amy, still pointing his weapon at them as they took the truck into Haywood. The truck growled loudly before starting off, the guards reassuring Shannon that they would get her some medical attention. "Calm down, they're just gonna take your friend to our infirmary. They'll do what they can." Robert turned to the old man and the guard who pointed his weapon at him. After about thirty seconds of pure silence, Robert lowered his shotgun and started for Daniel and Amy. He nodded at his soldiers and had them back away from everyone. One of the guards helped the old man stand up. "You're alright now sir, just this way" the guard told the old man as he started to direct him into the Haywood community. 

Once Robert stood before Daniel, he stretched out his hand to shake the tall man's. Robert stood just below six feet, so there was some height difference. But Robert's height didn't mean anything, he was complimented by his size, he was very muscular. "Welcome to Haywood" he nodded gently. "Now, what exactly do you know of the raiders?" he quickly said, turning the tables and the entire conversation.

[b]Floyd - Catacombs - Lauren/Katie/Lynn[/b]

As the raider spoke, his hands seemed to get even tighter. He felt his blood rush right through his veins to the tip of his fingertips. Ironically her skin was tender and smooth, not what one would expect from a raider. As he had her pinned against the wall, he could see the fear in her eyes. This was not Floyd losing himself, this was just pure desperation. He was now facing the woman he had made a promise to, a promise he failed to keep. He had told her he'd keep Jess safe, he'd keep her out of danger, but now he lays in the hands of a monster. A monster that hides his true identity from his own child. A monster that does not seem to understand that his own goal is unaccomplished. 

As Katie tugged on his sleeve, he turned to her, his grip still firm on Lauren's arms. Everything Lauren had said went in one ear out the other. He wasn't worried about his own life, he'd never been worried about it. Even before the virus spread Floyd didn't have much to live for. He hated nearly everything he came in contact with, nothing made his day worthwhile. The hunt was all he really looked forward to. How can someone live off the death of innocent animals? It was a gruesome lifestyle he lived and yet this life continued for him even after the apocalypse, but now he had a purpose. He found something that kept him going, something that made his days worthwhile. He may not always show compassion for it, but its there, there is no denying it. He made a promise and he was planning to keep it, no matter what. 

But when he saw the kids face, he couldn't help but see Jess' disappointment in her little blue eyes. He starred for a while, Lynn's voice echoing in the background. Suddenly, Floyd let go of Lauren and dropped, sitting down, his back against the wall as he starred at the ground. Nobody could see his face, only his hair drooping over his entire soul. Then a small drop of water crashed against the catacombs dirt floor. Then another, and another until it was interrupted by Floyd's own forearm. "I...she was just gone. I ain't know where she went, she was just gone..." he started, following that up with a silence. He then turned up, the water no more, just his red eyes. He looked at Lauren, then at Lynn, at Katie, then back to the ground. He punched it with fierce strength, scrapping his knuckles at impact. "What am I suppose to do?" he whispered at them. His question was interrupted by another one.
