Nero
Nero looked at Clover questioningly after the outburst, who exactly was she referring to when she who someone was looking at, Nero turned his head towards Shawn. Nero realized that Shawn's face was a bright shade of red, moving his head back and forth between Clover and Shawn Nero let it roll over in his mind for a second before he realized what was going on here, or at least he thought he did. It seemed that Shawn was giving Clover the look over that only a shy male could understand, and Clover well she is not used to being looked at or does she like being looked at. So put two and two together and it seemed like Shawn was a bit struck by Clover, Nero's face cracked as he laughed again at the both of them.
"Well well it seems that spring time must be h..."
The sentence was cut short when Nero heard the horn with the rest of them, turning his head towards the side of the cabin where it originated from he already knew that it had come from the truck he had been driving. The range of the sound and how close it had been was a clear indication of that. As everyone armed themselves Nero pulled out the Magnum and clicked the slot open, taking six shots from his pocket he loaded them into the gun and clicked the chamber closed with his palm as he looked at Shawn and gave him a knowing nod.
"Stay here Shawn, sit on the couch in the corner and keep your eye's peeled and your gun at ready."
Shawn nodded to Nero as he walked outside with Clover and Carter his finger was on the trigger already, he was ready for trouble if it came. Watching Carter he identified the woman as someone named Katrina, as Carter took a look Nero stepped forward as he put his hand on Carters shoulder.
"Iet me burrow your light I will take a look, see what I see."
Nero took the flashlight as he bent down beside Carter and put his hand on the ground and took a look at the foot prints. There were two sets as Carter would have seen, but they were obviously different from each other. Bending down on his feet Nero shined the flash light on the second set of foot prints and then at the first, shining the flashlight towards Katrina's feet he looked at her shoes and then back at the mud marks. The marks in front of the door were criss crossed but the second ones were a tad more manly for a young woman, leaning up Nero looked in the cab of the vehicle, besides a slight dampness on the steering wheel he noticed some mud on the edge of the door, shining the light down he saw half tracks, whoever had been in the truck had their feet propped on the edge, from what Nero could tell they must have slipped due to the mud and in turn hit the horn. Nero shined the flashlight back on the ground, whoever it was must have run fearing someone would hear, looking at the ground he followed the foot prints back to a point where Katrina's and the second set separated from each other. The intruder whoever it was had come from outside the camp site apparently the tracks lead away from the tree line near by to the truck, yet there was not a set leading back out. Nero slowly walked around the other side of the truck as he looked for retreating steps, but their did not appear to be any.
Standing back up Nero looked from the tree line to the truck, it would have been a long run, and if whoever was in the truck thought they would not be able to make it and was smart would not have tried to get to the woods. Which meant whoever did it was still here within the vicinity of the truck, which equally meant they were close by. Nero stood up an turned his back walking to Carter and handing him the flashlight back. Leaning his head in close he spoke just in case someone was listening right into Carter's ear.
"I am pretty sure that the young girl was simply coming over here to check out the horn like we were, its seems that who ever was here left tracks leading to the truck but none leading out which he means who ever it is, is still somewhere close. My guess is they are hiding somewhere around the truck but I can't be sure at the moment. Seeming she came from that direction to the left towards the other Cabins this person must have went forward away from the truck in the front, the tree line would be a long shot for someone who was already scared because they possibly alerted everyone by falling on the horn. I am going to walk around the back of the cabin and come up from behind to the front of the truck, I want you all to stay here, if this person is here then I will flush them out and you capture them."
"Anyways its looks like whoever was here is gone now, I am going to go grab Shawn and be back in a minute then we can go find the others. Meet you here in the a bit."
Nero spoke out loud for anyone to hear as he disappeared around the side of the Cabin walking past the door he went a bit slower as he reared around the corner and made his way to the back of the Cabin. Slowly he silenced his foot steps as he brought the Magnum up and went around the back corner of the Cabin, looking he waited for signs of movement but he found none. Continuing forward he would reach the front of the truck in a couple minutes and find if anyone was truly still here.
Shawn
Shawn hit himself in the head a couple times as he called himself stupid in his mind, how could he be so stupid as to let her see that he was sneaking looks at her he should have been more discreet. An now Nero was on to it as well he was sure of it, from what he knew of the man he was hella smart and did not miss a trick all the much at least not that he could see. Shawn hit himself in the head again as he put his hand over his face and shook his head. The first girl he meets in a whole year, and he just practically scared her away and he had not even said ten words to her. Shawn had always had the same trouble even when this world was still the way it was before, in school he was called a weirdo and a stalker because he tended to stare at girls that were cute but never had the courage to talk to them. He had gotten his ass beat a couple times as well by some angry boy friends to for it. He was just way to shy to say anything, but once something goes around school about you, your like a marked man for the rest of your days there. But it seemed like that hardly made any difference anymore, those boys and those girls were probably dead now, and in some ways they deserved it because of how badly they had treated Shawn. If he meant them again in this life now he was almost sure it would be different this time around, Nero was right about everything he had said, Shawn had been sheltered this whole time.
An he had been sheltered because his father and Uncle thought he was too weak to survive with them, so they treated him like he had two broken legs and two broken arms and could not do anything to help. Honestly Shawn had grown tired of it, he wanted to help but every time he tried they said he would just get in the way and shrugged him off to stay alone while they went out. Meeting Nero though even though it was only mere hours ago, he had gotten a real taste of the world and also a reality check on what he would have to do to survive in it. Shawn could easily hate Nero for the way he treated him, but even as he was Shawn could realize that Nero only did it to try an help him and in turn he had learned more in the last hours then he had this entire year. It was obvious that he had to step up and leave that shy weak crying boy behind and become hardened like Nero, and now Carter and Clover. If he would have any chance of her even liking him he had to step up now and not be a pussy anymore. Nero was not his father or his uncle he never could be, but it was obvious he cared enough to show Shawn he had to be tough if he wanted to live, and with that Shawn slowly got up from the couch it was time to be brave. Walking outside into the rain he came to Carter and Clover and a woman he had not seen before, looking at Carter he spoke:
"Whats going on where is Nero?"
