He swung upwards, cutting through the infected that closed on him. They only closed on him because he was in front of the thing, who had been backed into a corner after accidentally shooting a car. The alarm started blaring amend all hell broke loose. Captain had taken to cutting down the ones who closed on Prey who had been puked on. The events just kept happening. The charging things, the things called 'jockeys', and spitting things lay dead at their feet.

The thing wasn't too bad at a shot, but he was a bit clumsy for knowing the best routes around. He gave a slightly chuckle at the thought as his hands flew upwards. Captain should give him a crash course in the sport he didn't remember the name too.

"Vincent! Get on the other side of the gate when you can." Captain called, motioning to Prey to join the two of them.

When Prey arrived, he took off, leaving the thing with him. The infected's numbers had died for the moment, but with no doubt would swarm the noise generated from the gate when they opened it.

He smirked before growling and jamming his hands into a good in the gate. Using that, he swung over the gate, landing in a crouch beside It.

No, that wasn't his name. It was... What again...?

"Ah'm hitting the gate!" Prey called out, finishing reloading. "Y'all get ready now."

"I'm good!" The thing stated, pulling up his weapons.

Captain nodded, slinging congealed blood from his knives with a practiced hand. There was a sharp cry as the gate rumbled.

He grinned and started to crouch, readying to pounce on the first of the infected. Which was a wish granted when the first of the common infected trapped behind the gate gathered close to them.

I plan to destroy the evac center.

Why? It would be able to get others out of this hell. Others wouldn't have to be like him. Neither alive nor dead. Conscious, but running on instincts. But then again, Captain had said they wouldn't make it if they went and got evacuated by CEDA.

...the others can't know...

Of course, now it made sense.

Either Captain was a bad guy, which didn't make sense as he had rescued two others, or CEDA was. But how would this CEDA be bad if they just wanted to evacuate survivors. Did... Did they do something with the people who were supposed be getting out of the hell?

"Watch out, Vincent. Smoker in the area."

He growled to let Captain know he had heard him. Smokers were those things with the disgustingly long tongues that usually tried to grab Prey. Prey carried some of those things that smelled bad and what the smokers usually went for because they smelled bad too. It burned in his nose when he smelled them. Worse than when he smelled those puking things.

He brought his attention back to the fight to find the thing and Pretty standing in front of them. The horde had died down to several stragglers. The gate had been closed again, blocking it off for any other infected that wanted to go inside.

The thing held out a few pills for Prey, who took them. The thing pulled out the paper again, quickly scanning it. "There's a marked safe house ahead."

"Follow th' arrows." Prey called pointing ahead.

A hand moved to pat his head. He drained his head upwards, finding Captain giving a sad smile.

Can I trust you, Vincent?

Of course.

... I want to help...
