Snippet #2333814

Aarti was surprised that Taylor was actually capable of speaking more than a few words at a time, until now she had given nothing more then simple answers to questions or just a few sentences of information when it was needed.
"Well, at least you two got out alright, huh? I wonder how today would have turned out if we hadn't met you both..." Aarti wondered, suddenly looking as if she was deep in thought.

"For starters, we probably wouldn't be hiding out in a tree." Alex offered, still annoyed about the same thing.
Aarti, now, was also annoyed. "I should just throw you down to the zombies, shouldn't I? Since you're obviously so against the idea of us being alive! " She snapped, now beginning to show anger in her expression and voice. Not only was she mad at Alex now, she wished that he would stop being so rude with Taylor and Max around. She didn't want to argue in front of the two.

"If we hadn't wasted the time we did, then we would of been further away from the hoard." Alex snapped. He didn't say it, but he was now regretting that he hadn't killed the girl and her brother while he had the chance. If he had, then he, Aarti, and Leo might have been somewhere else instead of hiding away like cowards.
Alex knew that he couldn't now, though. The sound of the gun would attract too much unwanted attention from the zombies. Also, he didn't think either Aarti or Leo would appreciate it very much if he did. Plus, killing people wasn't his style, but recently he had given second thoughts about that one rule of his, no one got anywhere in the world if they didn't kill. Humans and zombies made no difference now... to Alex, anyways.

"Once again, I'm sorry about Alex." Aarti apologized to Taylor and Max, "I'm sure he'll stop complaining if he was face to face with an infected... which he will be if he doesn't shut up."
She wasn't serious, of course. There was no way Aarti would actually do something like that, but Alex was so frustrating to deal with sometimes it made her want to throw him to the zombies.

"And I try to stay away from the government nowadays," She added, trying to steer the conversation away, "It's definitely fucked up, and it's not like they actually care about anyone but themselves." Aarti sighed, she was finding that Alex and the government had similarities. They were both pointless to listen to.
"I don't see a reason to even pay any attention to what they're doing unless they're seriously trying to help for once."
