Snippet #1521843

He half turned looking up the hill towards the lady with the shotgun who had stopped and turned back towards them calling back down frustrated tune of voice even if she had not meant it the tone was still there. So he didn’t say anything in return to her after all he understood she was tired sounded sick and the threat of death was still ever much there so they all needed to rest at the same time in one place and the top of the ridge maybe the best place to stop. “Hey your welcome after all we survivors have to stick together right?” He asked the question in a joking tone of voice before turning his attention back down the hill hearing the sound of hurried footsteps coming towards them. Picking up the flashlight he shined it back down the path seeing it was the guy with the other gun coming up.

As it seemed the others had caught up for the most part he turned his attention back towards the lady he had been carrying as she had tried the stand only to fall back against the tree. “Look miss your in no shape to be walking so just take it easy alright.” Stepping around to her side he knelt down placing the flashlight atop her pack before slipping his arms beneath her legs and behind her back. “Alright here we go.” Lifting he pushed up from the ground with her in his arms and close to his chest to better balance out. “There easy as pie now then if someone could get her pack and my flashlight I’ll carry her to the top of the ridge.” With that he started walking once more having to take his time now as his eyes had to adjust to the low light as the flashlight had caused his eyes to become messed up so he was having a bit of trouble seeing.

In a whispered voice he spoke to the lady in his arms as he carried her up the hill. “Hey how about reaching in that chest pocket of mine and getting that chocolate bar out.” It had just crossed his mind that he had left it in there from that MRE he had.
