Katie scowled at Josh, took Jack's hand, giving it a squeeze, and with that, she ran off after the girl, too. 'At least someone else doesn't like him. I bet we'd have more in common if we could just talk.' She thought, tiring quicker than the girl. After the fifth block, Katie was puffing hard, and she stopped, hands on her knees, hunched over, catching her breath. "What a stupid idea. I don't even know which way she went." Katie said out loud, peering down the block. Just in the distance was a humanoid figure, with, what she could tell, all four limbs. Katie opened her mouth to yell, but thought again, and instead, walked close to the buildings, getting closer to the person.
Jack's eyes grew sad. He didn't want her to get hurt. But, knowing Katie, she would probably show up sooner or later. "I'm staying. What about you?" He asked, turning around to the guy behind him with the fox.

Talia didn't take any risks. She peered in every doorway, have every car a wide birth. There was no telling where or when one of those things would pop up and try to eat her alive. The one place she failed to check was behind her, because she figured she'd hear anyone approaching. It was a bit lonely out here. Perhaps she would leave the city and head for the forest. What were the odds that many people had become zombies there?

Katie finally tried one last push, catching up to the girl. "Hey." She said, hoping not to scare her. 'Please let her turn around like a normal person. No gun pointing or knife throwing, please!' She prayed, pulling her socks up.

"Copper and I are staying too. Looks like you guys could use a little happiness. The doc told me i was immune to this disease. Doc's never been wrong before!" Copper ran down Mat's arm and onto the ground, running up to Josh jumping up on him. "Haha! Look, Copper likes you! Don't worry, he doesn't bite. Hard." A grin spread across Mat's face.

Talia turned, seeing the girl from before. She had her sword still in her hand, however she wasn't threatening Katie with it. She looked behind the girl, but her little entourage wasn't with her. "What?" She said with a lofty sigh. She handy really thought they were sick before, but she had needed a reason to bolt. Apparently it hadn't worked, because here was one of them right in front of her. Was she going to try and convince her to join them? She didn't like the looks of the doctor, and the other boy was a bit more headstrong for her liking. Talia crossed her arms, the sword in her hand sticking out to one side.

Katie shrugged. "I didn't want to stay with them. The only reason I would have had to stay was because of my brother, but he can take care of himself. I came to travel with you. I am not taking no for an answer." She said, placing her hands on her hips.

Josh backed up and pushed the fox off of him, "Well, you're probably the ugliest cat I've ever seen." "Looks like it's going to be guys against girls, who's got food?" he said straightforwardly.

"Copper is not a cat. He's a fox. You can insult me, but don't you dare make fun of him again. I'll make 'em bite you." Mat said, as he put his finger to the other boy's chest. "I have no food. I have this piece of metal and this knife. You?" He said gesturing to Jack. Mat picked Copper up and set him on his shoulder, stroking his back. "By the way, I'm Matvey. But you can call me Mat."

Josh rolled his eyes and pushed. . . whatever his name was's finger away. "I got a brain," he said sarcastically before pulling the backpack off his shoulders, opening it up and showing whatshisname the contents. "Let's see, there's some gauze, pain killers, disinfectant, some other medical stuff you wouldn't understand. What about you, other guy?" he said turning to the third person.

Jack smirked. "You've got a brain, but have you courage? Or, say, a heart?" He asked, tilting his head and taking his backpack off. "I have some beans in a can, beef jerky, pads of paper, tissues, lotion, a screwdriver, and two knives."

Josh couldn't help but laugh a little, "Who are you, Shakespeare? Anyway, some food is better than none. Anyone know a good place to stay? Sitting out in the open is a good way to get killed."

Talia looked like she was about to object, then signed. "You don't look sick. I suppose you can come with me," she relented. This kid seemed sensible; maybe two heads were better than one. They could share supplies and defend each other's backs. "You're going to need a weapon. Here, have this until we find something else," she said, handing her the short sword and drawing the pistol for herself.
((Sorry low muse brother is at the ER))

"Yeah i know a good place. Any building would be fine. We're in a city. I don't think a building will be hard to find... And we could probably find one with some food in it.

"Finding a building will be easy, I'll give you that, but finding one that's not going to crash in on us in the middle of the night is not so easy," Josh pointed out.

Jack sighed. "Come on. Let's go downtown for the shops there. It isn't even noon yet. We have time. And I'm sure some of the shops have rooms in them." He said, kicking a rock.
Katie handed the sword back to the girl, shaking her head. "I don't like swords. I have a shotgun here. Thanks, though. So, where to?" She asked, reloading the gun with the bucks.
