The group of four survivors were becoming more and more exhausted... Getting thrown off planes for Christ's sake. Nick was really beginning to give up, however as Ellis filled the group with hope it quickly disappeared when the Shantytown seemed to be swarmed with the undead. However even with food and water beginning to disappear, the kid seemed to relieve te group of their stress, and as the group began walking out into the village there were a few infected still lingering from the horde the night before. At least the zombies seemed to migrate, probably looking for thing to eat, they only had two instincts after all, kill and eat.

"I found some water!" Announced Rochelle with a sigh on obvious relief.

"Really?" Nick asked as he quickly made his way over to the woman.

"Yeah a whole case!" Rochelle said with a smile.

This water could last them a whole week or more if rationed correctly. In a case of twenty-four bottles of clean water, six bottles were put into each persons bag. Nick actually smiled for once as he shook his head, almost in disbelief, the only problem that seemed to phase the group now was the food shortage. However they could live up to almost a week without food but only two to three days without water. Nick took a swig of his already-opened water bottle and looked out. There were still a few more houses to search before moving on. With that the group was able to find two homemade pipe bombs, a molotov cocktail and a medical kit containing a glow stick, lip balm, band aids, hot pads, alcoholic wipes, a needle and thread, and finally a roll pf medical tape. This was a godsend, and as the group continuing forward, it was clear that this was a large community. Without many hordes came loads of the specials, Ellis had scratches from a pounce from a Hunter and poor Nick got in the path of a damn Charger.

"Shouldn't we rest a bit? I think we could all use a breather." Rochelle sighed as the group collapsed inside one of the more dryer houses, Ellis managed to crawl over to Nick with a small smile.

"How're yer bruises, Nick?" he asked as he tilted his head.

"How do you think?" Nick hissed and narrowed his eyes at Ellis flinch and frown a bit.

"I-I'm sorry." Ellis murmured and looked away, Nick looked to Ellis' hurt expression and sighed before he shook his head.

"I'm alright kid... Sorry." he said softly and gently reached up, patting Ellis' shoulder.

Ellis nodded softly and looked around, he then hummed softly in his wonder, he may as well be productive as they rest. He got up and then looked to Nick, and with a small smile he held out his palm to th other to help the battered Nick up.

"Come on, wanna come look around with me?" Ellis asked playfully as he helped the older male up, Nick sighed and shrugged as he began following the spunky young man around the house and into the other room.

Ellis rifled through drawers while Nick simply sat back and observed the young man... Nick was surprised he never saw how... Hot Ellis was. He hummed softly and approached Ellis from behind, looking the built mechanic up and down. As Ellis turned around and gasped as he practically ran into Nick and gulped down his thumping heart. He just stared at Nick, meeting the gamblers gaze.

"N-Nick, what're ya... A-Are you okay?" Ellis asked softly as he shrunk back under the intimidating stare of Nick.

"... I'm fine." Nick mused softly and began moving towards Ellis, who shrank back a bit more but as the gamblers body began touching his own Ellis gulped and began accepting the other.

Nick's hands began reaching forward, his palms resting on Ellis' hips and beginning to bring his hips towards hims own and pressed themselves together, making the friction beginning to affect their groins, Ellis' visage turning a bright shade of scarlet and his body surrendered to Nick. Nick soon pulled one of Ellis' legs up to wrap around Nick's waist. Ellis bit his lip and released a soft groan and Nick's hand quickly went up to cover it.

"Be quiet or we have to stop..." Nick whispered harshly and began shoving his hand down Ellis' pants and taking ahold of the mechanics member and beginning to massage it thoroughly, making Ellis moan loudly under Nick's hand.

"Hey guys are you ready to-" Rochelle stopped in the middle of her sentence as she walked in on the two men acting... Questionable.

Ellis gasped and looked over.

Oh shit...
