Joan ignored the doctor at first when he asked if she was ok, and just stayed silent. After guessing that he wasn't going to try and hurt her she replied to him, She was referring to the six-inch purpley red bruise that was stinging like a thousand hornet stings right at the moment. She was in quite a bit of pain, but she handled it like a champ and she wouldn't let him see how much it was hurting her on her face.
" That looks like it hurts... are you sure you don't want me to look at it a little closer?"

"'Dead Games'?" She asked curiously and just ignored his apology.
"Yeah, well its what I've been calling them. I about a night ago or two I heard sounds like the stadium was alive again and everything was normal. But the cheers blended in with scream and pleads for help. In the dark it was easier to move but I had to find out what all that noise was. I didn't realize that those things moved around at night as well as day, they doesn't seem to sleep at all. Anyways as I blended in with a group of soldier that welcomed me to their group after a night of drinking I made my way to the outskirts of the Colosseum".
the doctor shook his head
"They had cages, dead, living men, women and children, betting tables.... "
"They had made lanes to run in like back in high school for track. They would place a living person in a lane , then tell them to run or that would would then by bow and arrow. Then the so called fun began with one of those "sprinter" released behind the living. If you made it to the end, you would live for another race. Winners would live for another few hours or a day. Truly barbaric if you ask me... "

Joan wasn't the kind of person to fool even once, but she mostly understood why he would've lied for his own safety. She decided she'd forgive him sooner or later, but for now she was more curious about the games he was speaking of. Joan had heard both the rifle shot and machine gun, and Josef crossed her mind.Joan stayed exactly where she was when the doctor introduced himself. She said to him and watched him as he looked out of one of the small windows. She heard what he said and then heard Josef's familiar voice. She heard him say and that's when she got up to look through the view port herself. She cussed as she witnessed Josef and Chloe being taken away by the soldiers. "Damn it, that's my brother." She said and let another cuss word slip.
"Dear God" The doctor spoke

She stepped away from the view port and sat down with her back against the inside wall of the carrier to think. A minute or two passed by before she looked up out of thought and said "We've got to save them."
"Us?... Me and you?" The doctor pointed at himself

Looking down at the one automatic pistol in her hand, she remembered that she had to discard the other one in order to better climb up the mortar carrier. She tried to think of what they could do and there was only one thing she could think of that could work. "Whenever things heat up out there and the soldier's get carried away slaying the brain eaters, we can sneak passed em and rescue "the bastards" She said with a look toward the doctor, not exactly sure where the soldiers had taken them. She guessed that the soldier's were holding them captive inside one of the trucks. She sat back up to look out of the little windows again and was debating when she would go. If the doctor refused, then she'd go alone, but she'd regret ever trying to save his ass if he didn't help.
"Ok.... I'll help if you let me see how bad that is first. We are not going to do thing half-cocked, ok?" .
" I realize that is your brother but this would mean that I'm willing to place my life in your hands" The Doctor will examine her bruise if she will allow it.
" So with that being said then what is your plan other than that?"
" Did you figure out a way to escape and get away yet because I do have an exit strategy and that vehicle right next to this one is ready to go" The doctor point in the direction of

"I've got to trust you and you have to trust me. Are you willing to do that?".
" I do appreciate what you have done for me by coming, I'm glad that some normal people are still alive, thank God. I know that it might be hard for you trust me but I'm willing to help you go after those two. What I want in return is honesty because IF we plan to stay as a group we will need trust so everyone can sleep at night agreed?"
" Now" The Doctor reached for some clothing, picked it up and tossed it beside her " put it on...we are both going to blend in at least if seen or talk to these idiots and assholes". " If you feel that you can't change into these clothes while I'm here to save your brother them don't. Because that will be your choice as well and if you get shot, don't worry about me rending aid either I'll spare your modesty then too but I want to live".
The doctor will then after she changes of not explain his plan for infiltration. The doctor will attempt to watch glancing through the view port so that he doesn't loss sigh of his targets. He also explains that if they get separated that in 20 mins of losing sight of each other to meet up at the flag pole.
