"There's no other companion I'd choose, either. You're tougher than you look - and on an average day, you look pretty tough anyway." He laughed, then just smiled at her. The smile fell a little eventually, and he nodded. "I'll take off, worst-case scenario. Gotcha'." He said. "Best not keep our...

This was it. It was happening. The roles had been set in stone, and admittedly, the place was a lot further down the road than Lee thought. If he was going to have to make his own way back if things went wrong, they could have devoured her by the time he even got halfway back to the group...

Chase nodded to her, "Leave it to me. Rest your hand." He said, "I'll get your bike out and ready, don't worry about it." He said, then went straight to where her bike had been stored, just beside his own, and started doing just what he said he would - he'd rested for long enough, warmed up...

Oh, dear. Trouble in paradise. Lee was up from the cot he'd been sleeping in, and Robin was, too. That didn't change the fact that there was now a conflict of interest between the two siblings. Chase had stopped exactly where he was instructed, killing the engine and flicking off the...

The journey was bound to go on, though. Lee wanted to nap for just a little while, too, so he took the cot across from Lin's. He rolled onto his side and looked at her, a smile falling onto his face. He didn't think he'd find this much peace when the world was ending the way it was, but oddly...

"No matter what happens, I got you." He nodded. "I promise. I won't do anything stupid." He held her hand, "I know this is... I know it all links back to a part of your past that you'd probably rather forget about, but no matter what happens, we're all in this together." He said. He didn't like...

"Mm." Chase murmured, shuffling in his seat again. It seemed he would be set on going to sleep now - he'd talked, but now the pain was catching up to him and he didn't think it was a good idea that he kept trying to fight it. In his eyes, falling asleep was a much safer option. Sleeping just...

"Won't be around forever, though." He sighed. "Once all the power goes out, the satellites can float all they want. No good if we can't reach them anymore, and... Shit, give it some time and billions will be dead, people will be tearing down rooftop satellites to use as scrap. It's a scary time...

"Jack..." He shook his head. "Getting back online now, it's... Surely it would be impossible. I don't think the maintenance guys would have stuck around keeping our networks online." He sighed. "Plus, what more do we need to know? This outbreak, whatever it is... All it takes is for a few people...

"If she left when they didn't want her to, then that's enough reason for any of them to hate her. Women don't often do well in groups like that, I won't lie to you." He said. "And if she was sleeping with one of them, that's all the more reason for grudges to be held. Your sister looks like she...

"I know none of that kind of life is pretty. Look past all the fancy tattoos and the custom bikes, it's really quite the nasty way of living." Chase said, then reached out and patted Jack's shoulder a couple of times. "I was fortunate enough. My club, it... We got into our fair share of trouble...

"She ain't even that. She's thirteen." Chase said, looking over at him. "I get what you're saying, Jack." He said. "The grizzly talk doesn't offend me. Whatever you tell me, I'm sure I've heard and seen far worse." He leaned back in his seat, shutting his eyes. "Roy sounds like a colorful...

"You ain't the only one with enemies, honey." Chase said, and he figured that that would be all that was necessary to be said for now. He had had his fair share of run-ins with other clubs, and he recognized her tattoos for a reason. They'd all done things they weren't proud of, but her former...

"Well, I'll just remember something a good friend always told me - it ain't murder if they shoot at you first." He said. Was he willing to kill some of the only remaining survivors if it meant them coming out on top? Completely. He wasn't going to bow over and take no for an answer, and if they...

"Yeah, I know." Robin nodded. It was the bitter truth. They would never know who made it unless they ran into those people again. But how likely was that? The population of Maine alone was over 1.3 million. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack, and without the proper means to find...
