They watched the monitors, not speaking for a while before Scud stood up and sighed. He walked around his chair and pulled out a box. He grinned as he sat back down. He ran his hands over the top of the box then smiled at Alexcia. He leaned back in his chair and started patting the still closed box while wiggling his eyebrows.
" Picked up a little something for us." He said. She shook her head and rolled her eyes as she looked away.
" Now's hardly the time to get high." She said.
" I wasn't talking about getting high but if you smoke, I got some good shit back at the warehouse I'd share with you." Scud said. He started opening the box. Alexcia looked at him as he pulled out another, smaller box. He looked back at her. " Donuts. You want?" She smiled slightly but shook her head.
" No, thanks." She said.
" Why not? Don't want to hurt your figure?" He teased. She laughed but snatched one out of the box.
" Like I have anyone who cares about my figure." She muttered as she looked back at the screen. His eyes went down her body than back up.
" I care." He said. She looked back at him, ready to make a smart ass comment when the van suddenly rocked. They both grabbed the counter to keep from falling over.
" What the hell was that?" She asked as they both looked at the roof.
" I don't know." He said before he took a bite. Alexcia looked at him then smacked the donut from his hand. " What the hell?" He asked as he looked at her.
" You're seriously gonna eat right now? Look out the windows or something." She said.
" You look out the windows." Scud said.
" You're a little bitch." Alexcia snapped as she stood up. Scud set the donuts aside and stood up. He pulled two guns out from holsters he was wearing under his jacket.
" Alex, wait." He said. " Get to the back of the van, I'll go out there and look around." Alexcia was already appearing out of the windows.
" I can't see anything." She said.
" Well get away from the window." Scud said as he moved to the side door. Alexcia turned and looked at him.
" What are you doing?" She asked. Scud paused with his hand on the door knob.
" Going out to check around. You worried?" He asked with a smirk.
" Yeah. You have the keys. If you get eaten out there I can't go anywhere." She smirked back.
" You're a mean bitch, you know that?" Scud asked as he dug the van keys out of his pocket. He stretched out his hand, letting the keys dangle from his fingers.
" I know." She said as she moved to snatch them from him. Scud yanked the keys back to his chest.
" What are you gonna give me for the keys?" Scud asked. She stepped up close to him. Scud looked down at her lips than back at her face as he smiled. She moved so she was almost against him. " Now this is what I'm talking about." He said softly.
" How about I tell you what I'm not going to do to you if you gave me the keys? I'm not going to punch you in the balls." She said.
" At least you'd be touching my balls." He said. She shook her head.
" Just give me the keys." She said. He smiled again but handed them over to her. She took them and slipped them into her pocket before she stepped away from him.
" You ain't even gonna give me a kiss?" Scud asked. " I might die." Alexcia shook her head.
" Is sex all you think of?" She asked.
" Since you came around, yeah." He answered honestly. She came up to him again.
" If I kiss you, will you give me break from the sex talk?" She asked. He grinned.
" I'll think about it." Scud said. Alexcia grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him down to her. She kissed him quickly, a simple, quick, closed mouth kiss. It was over before he even got to close his eyes. She dropped his shirt and walked over to the chair she had been sitting in. " That was it? Are you serious?" He asked in disbelief.
" You didn't say what type kiss you wanted." She said as she looked at him.
" Un-fucking-believable." Scud said as he shook his head. He turned around and grabbed a hold of the door knob. He took a deep breath than opened the door.
" Josh!" She called out quickly. " Be careful, please." Scud grinned to himself before stepping out into the rain.
Scud held both UV guns up and out at his sides as his eyes quickly scanned the area. He looked from side to side but didn't see anything until he looked directly in front of him. Standing in the shadows, looking at him, had to be 5 to 6 reapers. His heart stopped and his breath hitched at the sight of them. They weren't moving, they were just staring at him.
" Oh fuck." He said. He turned back around and sprinted towards the van.
He threw open the door and climbed in as the reapers started towards him. He slammed the door shut and locked it. Alexcia jumped up at the panicked look on his face. He was panting as he ran over to her and grabbed his ear piece. She kept asking him what was wrong but he wasn't answering her. He called out to Blade and Whistler through the ear piece and mike.
" B, W, I got them on the van!" She looked up and swore. The van rocked again as something hit it. She jumped and grabbed Scud. He dropped the ear piece and wrapped one arm around her waist as she grabbed his shirt. He held her close to him as they stared at the roof of the van.
" What are we going to do?" She whispered. He shook his head.
" I don't know." He whispered. The van was completely silent again. He brought his other arm around her waist.
" Maybe they left, maybe something else caught their attention." She whispered after a few seconds.
" Maybe. Give me the keys. I'm going to get us out of there." He whispered.
" You can't leave my dad!" Alexcia hissed as she looked at him. Scud looked at her than.
" Look, W will be fine but we need to go." He said softly. Alexcia frowned but took the keys out of her pocket. She handed them over to him. " We're gonna be fine, alright? Trust me." Scud said. Alexcia nodded but took a shaky breath. He tucked some of her hair behind her ear. " I'm gonna get us out of here." She nodded again.
He took the keys than moved away from her. Quietly and carefully he crept through the back of the van. He appeared through the windows before he slipped into the drivers seat. He couldn't see anything but it was pouring out. He slipped the key in a second before...
