The Shadow Runners (thriller/horror) PG-13

[Draak_Tand]

"She got ripped to shreds a couple days ago. So no, she didn't."  He said thinking what a shame it was that she had to die. "And no, I'm not being sarcastic." She was a good runner, but in the end, she wasn't good enough. "But I'm more than capable of handling my self. I've survived this long haven't I?"

(Don't feel like you need to be a bad guy if you don't want PO5ID3N25. Im trying to get to a template we can all work with which is coming very soon!)

Trinity grabbed the radio tossed to him-stared at it and then back again to the anthro. The rogue was gone as quickly as he came leaving Trinity wondering if he had even been real.

When the words left 01's mouth there wasn't an emotion found in him "Runner 1 or not you're only as good as your team."

Just a listless nod, he tried not to acknowledge his and her history. The partnership they once shared. A sense of duty over the years had replaced the emotions...well, most of them anyway.

That night when they had returned to Fort Lazuras, he hadn't said more than a few words. Meaningless words with no expression.

"11 this is your first night here. Unfortunately we are not as well equipped as Velox. Sleep wherever you like I'll be in the paddock sleeping if you need me. I'll see you both in the morning @ 0500hrs." He tried to slept but mostly tossed, turned, stared at the stars and thought.

The grass was moist and even through his seeping bag made his body shiver. In the middle of the night he tried to sneak pass all the runners. He made his way to the tent where recently deceased Runners' personals were kept. He found 99's stuff and rummaged through it and took a small paper. He wasn't alone for long however because someone was coming...

Far away from the tent I stirred in my sleep bolting up out of bed as something seemed to move outside the window "they've come" I vaulted the bed and headed out the back as I did I sensed as much as anything it above me so I dove to the ground hearing the shadow land behind me as I rolled over it stepped on my leg shattering the bone I scream as it screeches its victory I draw and unload my gun in its maw as it staggered forward it crashed to the dirt "damn it" I cursed as I crawl to my hut "this is going to hurt" as I anticipate setting the broken leg

PO5ID3N25: ("Disclaimer: I will be Trinity Zane as well as the 'creatures' or 'others'."- pg 1 of this forum. I will allow this scenario just this once but keep this in mind for later dates. If you'd like to fight a shadow creature contact me directly. Thank you.)

Tand heard someone in the night and, decided to follow. When he got found 9 just sitting there looking through 99s stuff. "Watcha expecting to find?" He asked out of the blue, and crouched down next to 9.

[Trinity_Zane]

As he slyly slipped the paper away in the collar of his shirt Trinity stopped "She had something of mine."

The fox remained still, looked over at 01 and stood up. He wasn't sure if Draak would buy it or could see through his poorly executed lie.

[Draak_Tand]

He knew 09 was lying but, for some reason, he trusted him. "Whatever man do watcha gotta do." He said showing no intentions to move. He says "Ima stay here for awhile..." as he trails off a tear comes to his eye. Why did you have to die 99?

[Farewell]

Zaida didn't mind much, she got comfortable before she decided to sleep away from others. She laid on the bag facing the wall of the fort... Her tail wrapped around her waist, as she curled up. However didn't sleep much, not trusting to anthros here nor very comfortable at this fort that she was transferred to. Soon she would get use to this, eventually.
Zaida opened her mouth wide and yawned. Keeping herself warm In the old sleeping bag. Zaida shut her eyes lightly, the room dimmed with little light. The Serynx beginning to get deep in her thoughts. Hoping to drift asleep soon, if she could.

(Talked to someone here who was confused by the layout of Fort Lazuras. Picture a stadium with no roof, essentially with solid steel walls)

He watched him leave, his eyes reflecting the moonlight coming from the door. His paw went down his shirt and pulled out the paper when Draak wasn't looking. On it were coordinates to a place no one knew about. There was more than one freelancer out there like the rogue today but this one in particular was on to something big. He and 99 had been working secretly together with her-the Labrador.

"She was a good Runner. You were a good team." He padded 01's shoulder.

The fox abandoned him believing he needed time to grieve. Everyone here had their own stages of depression. Trinities were more abnormal, mostly making his conscious more and more callous. His eyes browsed over the sleeping bodies looking for 11 but couldn't quite spot her. He quietly moved over to his sleeping bag.

[Draak_Tand]

After two hours of just sitting there, he went through her stuff. He found her locket, it had a picture of them together. "More than you ever knew 09," he whispered.
He walked outside and thought about going back to sleep. He decided it wad better to be on watch and patrol around. He put the locket on around his neck. Welp, too late to grieve. and he started his rounds letting someone get some sleep.
((They were best friends, not lovers.))

((My bad))
As I sit in my hut I take a shot of morphine "**censor** leg good thing it was a fracture it felt like hell" I shook my head "gotta stop talking to myself" i splint it and test my weight "I won't be running for a week or two but it'll work" I limp to my desk and record the kill more luck than anything as I do I stare at the radio its partner in lazarus

(Yes you can. But later on I might not allow that to keep us from getting confused)

(Thank you Jacob for being patient. It'll be morning soon.)

Post Merge: November 27, 2015, 08:31:29 PMA few hours had passed and he was awake, though tired. Trinity check his watch and wiped the sleep from his eyes.

0430hrs

He'd gotten up slowly and rolled up the sleeping bag stowing it with other Runner's gear. Everyone was taking down their tents/putting away their pads, bags. Getting ready for the day shifts. Naturally he was the first to the food trailer for breakfast.

As he perused over his plate once more, played with the broccoli and returned his attention to the paper. The fox pulled out the hand held global positioning device. The one he took from 99's equipment.

After putting in the coordinates he left to the command post just south of the paddock. Trinity stood a fair distance away waiting for the night shift to leave the supply tent.

[Draak_Tand]

Tand, seeing the morning come in, walks to get some breakfast. *Yawns* He picks at his food, thinking about last night. What was that thing 09 had. He decided he might ask about it later. He looked for things to workout with. he picked up the heaviest things and started lifting. Nobody thought it was strange because this was his ritual every morning. He spotted 11 and decided to go make some small talk while he waits for his mission. "Hi, how'd ya sleep?"
