The trio has traveled with others for this shoot out and as result it created small clans if you will and have been on the road 2 weeks.
"James what are you doing?" Ezmerelda asks, "Nothing." He says, while stabbing a pig and putting an apple in his mouth. She looks at him and inches away due to being disturbed. Arthur laughs at the scene before him, "What is he doing?" Ezi asks Arthur. "Stabbing a pig." Arthur says obviously. "Yeah I got that." She says a little annoyed. "Then why ask?" James asks removing the apple from his mouth only to put it back in and continue stabbing. "Tell me we're not eating that." Ezmerelda asks exasperated, "Why not?" James retorts. The fact that the pig was simply just sitting on the sidewalk close to the grand fire pit in the center of the encampment grossed her out to the point of losing her appetite and walking away from her odd friends who are just plain different in every meaning of the word. "Guess she's not hungry, so how do we cook this?" Arthur states, "With our BBEBEQUE." Says James and they both begin to laugh.
(Pink.R.S: Huh, yeah, only my friend can actually pronounce that and make me laugh. Sorry for interrupting! )
Arthur noticed that Ezmerelda had left her bag on the floor, James noticed it too soon after, as the guys approached the bag a knife had landed next to it the blade bounced off the concrete and slid toward the two. Both backed away in surprise at the sudden item.
The knife had landed close to the guys resulting them to jump back in surprise. Looking to the direction it flew from there stood Ezi, looking at them, "Don't even thing about it." She says with Arthurs ax in hand. "Don't forget this, your going to need something to get close and personal." Handing the ax to Arthur, "Where did you find it?" he asks since Arthur was looking for it earlier that day. "Under James' things." She says grabbing the bag she left that her friends attempted to snoop through. "O' the hypocrisy, you would stab us if we touched your things but you go through ours?" James accuses, "Yeah- no, I tried to move around that car of ours and I almost cut my self, you left it in the passenger seat, smarty." She says, "Where did you get the knife?" Andrew asks. "Knife's." she corrected pulling another from her bag. "As where I got it, it found me, I woke up and there it was looking at me though got scared that none of us noticed if a stranger came to us in the middle of the night; so much for you being a light sleeper" Ezi looked at Arthur accusingly. "How do you know they are meant for you?" James asks puzzled, "Found a note attached to them that had my name on it."
An argument between Arthur and Ezi erupted as James simply slid away not wanting to be in between them. James started laughing at the scene in front of him, Arthur who is tall though not as tall as James yet rather built cowers from a much smaller young woman as she beat upon him.
"If you are done with beating up the poor guy I want to know if you three are ready for breakfast." Offers Chris. "Almost." Ezmerelda says giving Arthur another whack to his shoulder. "Okay, now I am." A smile upon her face.
Traveling with Chris and a few others made the living experience easier, having more people watch over you was something that gave some kind of piece to ones mind.
Days were dull and consisted of driving, finding other survivors, relying on rumors of any kind from other travelers yet no where was safe.
