Reaching the truck, Tyler opened the back and tossed the prisoner in. He struck the captive again, ensuring he'd be quiet for the ride.


He took the keys out and hopped inside, starting up the truck's engine. The radio sprang to life and began blaring loud speed metal. "Crap! Damn it Blaine!" He yelled as he turned the volume down. He opened Kai's door as walkers showed up to investigate the noise.

She slid in next to him, still tense and her knife glinting in her hand. "Let's get the hell out of here. Now."

[Blaiiine]

Tyler hit the gas and sped down the road, avoiding the recently made blockade on the exit of town. The truck bounced as it slammed into the dirt, sparks flying as Tyler maneuvered it back onto the road.


After a few minutes, they were out of town and halfway back to the mountain house. Tyler lit a cigarette and rubbed his bad shoulder with his free hand.


"You alright?" He asked, still looking to the road. He wasn't exactly looking forward to telling Blaine what had all happened.

[cuzyeahboi]

"Yes, but the moment we get back you better let me check you. You're falling apart Tyler, stop before you can't go anymore. At least heal for a few days." She said, in a stubbornly caring voice. She was not happy with all the craziness going on.

[Blaiiine]

Tyler took a moment before responding, taking another drag of smoke. His free hand found Kai's, holding it for a bit before returning to the wheel.


"I know. I just...thought it'd be a good time away from the others and..I didn't expect that to happen." He said, rubbing his eyes tiredly. "But okay, I'll let you take care of me." He shot a look at her, smiling like an idiot.

[cuzyeahboi]

A small smile crept onto her face. "You better,or else you can't take care of me." She said in a humorous tone

[Blaiiine]

"Oh well, I think I can handle that." Tyler replied, letting out a small chuckle.


Pulling back into the driveway, Blaine was there to meet them as he shut the perimeter gate. He stepped up to the truck, taking the backpack from Tyler.


"So, how was the trip?" He asked, smiling. Though he smile disappeared as he noticed all the bruises and the blood stain on the shepherd's shirt. "Dude, what the hell happened?"


"Some bear, named Farrow, happened. Got a gang, I guess they run..the town or something." Tyler replied, wincing in pain as he leaned against Kai.


"Well, damn it. Get him inside, he looks like hammered crap." Blaine said, rubbing his temples.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai gestured to the truck, "We got one of 'em in the back. Knocked out. Might be useful as a hostage or information." She then helped Tyler inside.

[Blaiiine]

Tyler took the reins as soon as they entered the house, throwing himself over and onto the couch. He dropped the rifle and kicked his shoes off, which offered him a little comfort.


Sitting up, he pulled his shirt off and tore the bandage off his wound. It looked worse, torn even more and still bleeding. "Oh that's just fantastic." He muttered as he pushed the bandage back on, keeping much needed pressure on the wound.


Blaine popped open the truck's back door, taking a look at the prisoner. Another feline, a panther this time. "Well...let's get you somewhere." He laughed, picking the prisoner up and dragging him into the garage. The door loudly slammed and locked.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai sighed, "I'm going to go get another bandage, try not to die or pass out." She then bounded up the stairs.

[Blaiiine]

Tyler threw a Boy Scouts salute up, laying his head back. "Don't worry about it, doc." He muttered. Tossing his cigarette in the ashtray, he got up and walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge.


Cursing quietly as the cold air hit his wound, he went back to looking through the fridge for a drink.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai came back downstairs holding a strip of cloth, contemplating if she could even sow the wound shut. They would need to clean it out, alcohol would do the trick. She crept up behind Tyler, nearly completely silent. "Anything alcoholic in there? Preferably stronger than beer?"

[Blaiiine]

Startled, Tyler jumped up and hit his head on the shelf in the fridge. "Ah, Jesus! You scared me...and yeah, there's some here." He replied, grabbing a bottle and a soda can. He kept the can, opening it with one hand, and gave the bottle to her.


Sitting back down on the couch, he looked cautiously at Kai for a moment. "Sooo...why did you need that anyways?" He asked, looking up at her.

[cuzyeahboi]

"Sorry." She looked at it, reading the back. Some whiskey, this would work. "Here, drink some. You'll need it." She handed him back the bottle. "Not all of it though."

[Blaiiine]

"Ugh. Well, it is for medical purposes." He said before doing as told. Finishing that, he took a giant drink of soda to wash out the burn.


Laying back on the couch, he looked up at the ceiling and just waited to get everything over with. He was honestly looking forward to not jumping through anymore windows in the near future.
