Josef spun around when Chloe grabbed him by the collar and noticed Joan wasn't behind her, [B]"WHAT?"[/B] he exclaimed, after he heard what she said. He looked all around, but couldn't spot her anywhere. He and Chloe had already made it close to the street that they needed to be on in order get to the Cadi. He began to freak and his mind was beginning to jump to all sorts of conclusion. She could've been snatched while no one was looking or she could've fallen. Then he realized that they would've heard something. Then it hit him, she went to get the doctor. [B]"She knew I wanted us to GO."[/B] Josef said half shouting. He was beyond pissed off and he felt he wanted to punch out a window. He tried to calm himself, and said [B]"She never listens to me. I shoulda known to keep an eye on her."[/B] Josef was so focused on where he was going that he didn't think to watch her carefully. He had looked back a few times earlier when she was still following along, but she must've slipped off right when he wasn't paying close enough attention. [B]"If I remember right, she should be going to get him over there by the Pepsi center."[/B] Downtown was a good distance away and he began to worry that Joan might've gotten caught. [B]"Stupid-"[/B] He mumbled holding back a few curses. It wasn't like him to cuss much, but he felt like dropping a few f bombs or three. He led the way toward downtown and he stuck as close to the buildings as possible just in case they had to bolt through a door if the military spotted them.

They made it to the pepsi center unnoticed and Josef looked back to see if Chloe had caught up with him. There had been several soldiers standing in groups in the parking lot. A lot of the soldiers were heading for the arena for some reason and Josef didn't care to know why. He looked to his right and pushed Chloe inside the bar and grill real fast and jumped in as well once he saw what looked to be sixty walkers walking toward the shopping outlets of downtown. Why wasn't there more? They must've eaten most of everyone and moved on to other parts of the city. That's all Josef could think of at the moment, but all he knew is that there weren't many around. [B]"Sorry I freaked out a little."[/B] He said to Chloe and then looked around the inside of the bar. It was empty. The place wasn't exactly trashed either. He could smell alcohol strongly as if a party had just taken place and there were several army bags on the tables. He could hear walking near the back of the restaurant and he motioned for Chloe to follow him out. When they got out, he went around the side that was concealed from where he spotted the walkers and turned the corner too quickly to find a large, bulky soldier man with spiked blonde hair who finished pissing against the back wall.

[B]"Who the-"[/B] The man put his junk away, and kneed Josef in the stomach before he could even react. Josef dropped to the ground on his knees and the soldier aimed his gun directly at Chloe. "My, my looks like we have some more rebellious civilians." He said with an almost drunken slur. He shook his head a little as if he was dizzy and he almost let his finger slip to pull the trigger and end Chloe's life.
