Only The Strong Survive

Alex
"Wha- you can't- who- you can't just let random people in- Jade!" Alex spluttered, throwing his hands up in exasperation. "I can't leave you alone for twenty minutes, can I?"

Jade
Jade folded her arms across her chest, head tilted ever so slightly upward to glower at him. "He was already at the door, what was I supposed to do? Go hide in a cupboard?" 

Alex
"Try not letting him in?" Alex scoffed, stretching his back until he heard it pop, standing and offering Jade a hand. "Come on, let's go see your mystery man, then." 

Jade
"Hard to do when you leave the door unlocked," Jade retorted. She glanced at his hand and then swung her legs off the bed, standing up without help and then proceeding to stick her tongue out at him. "Fine." 

Alex
Alex retaliated by swooping Jade up into a hug, laughing as she squirmed in his grip. "Good morning, by the way." He snickered, pressing a hasty kiss to her lips before snatching his bag from the foot of the bed and sticking out his tongue back as he headed out the door.

Jade
"You're ridiculous," she grumbled, but the poorly hidden smile on her face countered the seemingly-upset words. Jade followed him out of the room, realizing she had left her bag downstairs. Can't be careless like that. On the way down the hall to the stairs, Jade kept her eyes out for possible locations of another gun. Just in case Alex was being stubborn today. She didn't see anything, but guessed the most likely place to search would be the adjacent garage.

Alex
"You're ridiculous." He teased, stopping at the end of the landing, steeling himself before he stuck his head over the railing, laughing with relief as he saw the stranger - a mere kid, looking nervous in the kitchen. "I'm suddenly reminded of James."

Angelica 
Angelica decided to go check the town nearby. She went and tacked up the horse that the group stole. She rode down the main road and looked at each house. Strangely there weren't that many walkers. Stopping in front of one house, she looked in the windows. She watches as the figures inside moved. Rolling her eyes, Angelica dismounted and walked up to the house. She took a deep breath and then slammed the door open. Before the "owners" could shoot her, she put her here gun down and raised her hands. "I mean no trouble, I just know how hard it is to live like this. If you want to live, come to my prison. We have food, water, and safe places to sleep."

Jade
She jumped a little as the locked door was thrown open by a girl. "Well, thanks for breaking our locks. That's very helpful when it comes to stopping zombies." Jade shrugged in response to the girl's offer. "It hasn't been too hard. And you do realize you worded that so it sounded like an offer to arrest us and lock us up, right?" She studied the other female. "You could have knocked, you know."

Alex
Alex had his gun out before she had even finished her sentence, but he held off firing, listening to Jade, eyebrow quirked in amusement as he reached the bottom of the steps. "Yeah, that sounds too good to be true, so no thanks."

Outlaw 
She didn’t enter the house, once the girl was gone she vaulted back out over the wall and trudged off to retrieve her other two pistols from where she’d stashed them in the woods. Never could be too certain about people. She crouched next to the hollow log and pulled them out, tucking one into her sleeve and tying it loosely there then hiding the other behind her shirt against her back. 

Angelica

Angelica smirked. "That was the plan, breaking your locks, I dont like knocking. Ruins the surprise. Well I tried, if you get eaten, dont come eat my people." She turned to leave but first she threw a piece of cardboard on the floor. "Address." she stated "If you change your mind, you are welcome."

Outlaw 
After making sure her guns where secure she sat down on the log, thinking while keeping a sharp eye out. She slid silencers onto her pistols. That would help not draw attention. Now did she wanna go back up to that house thingy? Or was she better off remaining a lone gunner? 

Angelica
Angelica came back to camp and looked through the fence. I wonder if that girl is still there....

Jade
"Mhm," she hummed irritably, "just sounds like you wanted to put us in more danger by breaking those locks."  Jade glanced at the piece of cardboard and picked it up, tucking it into her bag. "It'll make a good firestarter." She closed the front door and looked at the lock. Yup, busted. This was the best house as far as lookouts they had come to so far, and Jade had hoped to maybe spend more than one night here.
