Jared went to the far end of the shower stalls and put his bag and a towel he had grabbed down. He looked around and realized that he really didn't have anything to protect his broken arm from the water and rolled his eyes. He would just have to be careful and ask Kathleen to replace the cast after he cleaned the arm. Soon, he too was in the stall and he lifted his head and let the warm water run down his face and body with a sigh of relief. He remembered to keep his broken arm away from the water's impact, but was soon comfortably relaxed. He closed his eyes, reveling in the relaxing warmth. Finally, his eyes opened and he slowly lathered soap and shampoo around his body - being extra careful to not get any on his arm.
He rinsed himself off and turned off the water. "Hey Jared, you didn't happen to grab a blanket or something did you?" Jared blinked at Kathleen's voice.
"I grabbed a towel..." his voice trailed away as he realized what the other was getting at. "You forgot one didn't you?"

She paused, embarrassed for a moment and said, "Ya..but it's Ok if you only have one..."
She puled her wet hair up and squeezed it out as she spoke. "We can change you bandages when we get back if you." she rooted around for her clothes in her bag. She found a pair of camo pants and a tanktop, as well as a jacket. She reached deeper and found some socks and dedicates.
I should have some boots back downstairs, she thought as she piled the clothes on the bench.

Jared suppressed a smile even though he knew Kathleen couldn't see him since he was still in his stall. "Well, I can hurry and dress and then find you another towel," he offered. "Or you can just take the towel I have." He shrugged. "It's right outside my stall at the back, and I'm sure I can manage. I'm sure you can use the towel more than me." It would probably be rather uncomfortable but he didn't really care at that moment. Or, he considered, maybe he would wait for Kathleen to finish with the towel and just use it.
Or maybe he would be able to just continue standing there and drip himself dry, drop by drop...

She peeked around the corner, "Well...turn around..." as she stepped out of her stall. She walks on her toes naturally, from years of dancing when she was younger. She takes hold of the towel and slips it from the stall.
"I'm sorry to do this but I'm wearing a white shirt..." she wiped herself down and tossed it back over.
"It's really absorbent, must eb one my dad invented...still feels dry." She walked back over to her stall and put ehr clothes on, she stepped out into the Ail as she braided her long brown hair.

Eden turned red at what Skyler said, though it was barely audible and she almost didn't catch it. She wasn't even quite sure if she heard right, but she blushed nonetheless, half glad Skyler was asleep. Only half. He was heavy, what with all the muscle mass. Eden slipped out from under him and stood up straight on the steps, looking down at him. It looked uncomfortable, so she mustered her strength and managed to sit him up and lean him against the rail, so the stairs weren't digging into his back. Sighing from exertion, she sat down next to him, and fiddled with the wooden stairs, poking at it with her claws.
Jared stared up at the ceiling as he yawned idly, waiting for Kathleen to finish. She said something about a white shirt. "S'alright..." Jared muttered, tracing the absolutely fascinating lines of the tiles on the roof. Then a towel flew down from above and fell over his face. "..." Jared pulled it off.
He quickly dried himself and dressed. He especially had quite some difficulty pulling on a pair of pants with one arm. "You're right," he muttered half to himself and half to Kathleen. "It's a bit tight-fitting."
He sighed as he considered whether or not to struggle into a shirt. It had been hard enough getting out of his old one let alone getting into a new one... Jared frowned and rummaged within the bag. "Aha!" He pulled out a button-up shirt and slipped it on one arm. "Now for the hard part..." Slowly, he eased his arm through. "Hey, Kathleen, can you help me clean up my arm and replace this cast?" He asked as he began the slow process of buttoning up the shirt.

Slowly reawakening a few hours later watching Eden sit by his side, with a slight smile Skyler called out to her " Hello, were you sitting there the whole time." He asked, Skyler was unsure how long he was asleep, he hasn't gotten any rest since they originally left the facility. Stretching out poking Eden in the side as he pulled his arms back, Skyler stood feeling his hair. As it was skillfully braided back into a ponytail as he had left it before, Skyler knew it wouldn't be the last time he would be asking Eden to do his hair. Smelling the air Skyler gracefully hopped down the stairs rolling over Eden heading to where the dead deer layed, running outside than back in with material to build a small fire. With a sigh he began the fire, and with his claws he began to slice up the deer.

((Hey guys...My fiancee just called off our wedding. Im gonna be off tonight..sorry))
((Oh my gosh D: That's fine, take your time))
Eden squeaked when she was poked in the stomach, a strange noise, that made her laugh a little. She waited until Skyler had gathered firewood and such and started cutting the deer before she approached him. She clasped her paws behind her back and perked over his shoulder at what he was doing, unsure of wether or not her assistance was needed. She watched him work contentedly, rocking back and forth on her heels ever so often.
After a moment, she stood straight and stretched, looking up at one of the broken windows to see a few birds fly by, their song drifting through the broken glass. Eden blinked. She'd never seen this type of bird before. Then again, she'd stayed in the same place most of her entire life. She tilted her head to one side. What else was different in this strange place?

"Tonight? I believe they've been smiling on us for a bit" Krein said, thinking back to the escape, although it wasn't a completely clean get away they did do just that nonetheless. He took the bag from Elesh and looked around himself, honestly he didn't quite know what they would need, he wasn't accustomed to taking care of anyone except himself. He looked in towards the bag, and back at his surroundings, nothing truly came to mind as completely necessary to him, but then again he could only be thinking of his needs still. "I believe I'll leave the important decisions to you," he said to Elesh, "I'm not quite sure as the needs of the group," his head twisting back and forth, looking towards all the shelves. Tools were important, yes, but he wasn't quite sure what tool did what, unless it was a matter of food or clothing he most likely wouldn't understand it at all. He held the open bag in hand, ready to carry it as it was to be filled with whatever it was that Elesh would deem as 'useful'.
Kathleen stood in the doorway, now outfitted with camo pants and a black tank top. She held her new, clean labcoat in one hand, and her mother's duffel in her other. She had braided her long brown hair, and it draped down her chest. She was barefoot, but had a pair of boots downstairs.
"Sure, I'll go get everything ready for you."
She turned turned and made her way down the stairs. She passed through a hall and into the main room, then through to her medical room. Placing her things on top, she pushed a table to the middle of the room and brushed it off. Her coat was crisp, and faintly smelled like the soap she had used. She pulled it on, and grabbed one of the medical cases. It made a *thunk* as she dropped it on the table, and the latches opened with ease.
She began setting up her equipment and waited for Jared, and anyone else who needed medical treatment to come.

The night was dark, stars twinkled and danced across a velvet black sky. The tree-tops moved like an ocean as the wind urged it to dance. Bugs chirped and wined in the night, but Aello loved it. She looked down at her hands, and wished Shane was there to hold them. She thought back to her loneliest time...remembered the sadness she felt. The hopelessness, and despair. She never realized how nice it was to have someone around, the happiness she felt with Shane was unmatched in her lifetime...she never wanted to lose him.
She stretched her legs out in front of her on the windowsill and pushed the pane open a little more, so she could feel the cool breeze across her face.

After getting the meat on the fire Skyler turned and poked Eden again laughing, as she would most likely respond in the same matter before a light squeak would have made Skyler laugh. Standing up and stretching out "The food should be done pretty soon Eden, after its done call every one who eats meat over here alright." Skyler told her as he removed his torn and tattered shirt throwing it into the fire. The bullet scars ran down in a pattern down his chest and stomach areas while the scars from being whipped where just starting to fade away, nearly everything that Skyler has done has hurt him in the end. Hopefully having a friendship with Eden wouldn't, but the fear still lingered. Although being hurt at every turn taking some type of pain, very little struck fear into him but that one person had a higher meaning to him what was so different about Eden.
Skyler couldn't help staring at her for a short while smiling awkwardly, than catching himself as he walked toward the darkened areas "Coming with?" Skyler said as he walked into the darkness.

Eden squeaked again, predictably, drawing her attention from the bird song. She took note of the task she'd been asked, but chances were she'd forget. But that didn't concern her too much. Hardly at all, actually. Looking about the warehouse, she was somewhat dazzled by the array of scarlet and violet lights created by the setting sun. The stars were coming out, and barely a sliver of orange remained on the horizon. Her first sunset in freedom.
Eden kept looking about as she followed Skyler. Her eyes were sharp, but even she could only see his muscular outline in the dark recesses of the warehouse. She almost ran right into a wall. With a small cry of surprise, she reached out to steady herself, placing a paw on the cool brick wall. She had a hard time seeing two inches in front of her face.

Turning back and laughing at Edens movement, her eyesight was restricted she couldn't really see what was in front of her and with a smile Skyler turned and softly grabbed her paw leading her through the darkness. She can't see Skyler thought to himself, the dark became his home during the beginning years kept alone in his room to be experimented on and beaten day in and day out until hope was completely sapped from him. So being alone in the dark wasn't that bad, and his eyesight was just alittle weaker than normal, but Edens eyes weren't as strong so leading her would be better than just allowing her to move by her self.
"I'm taking you to the second floor to this place. Its nice and well lit up there you'll also get to see the stars and such" Skyler said speaking to Eden, he knew using a higher vocabulary would just confuse her. Simple he thought, thats why Eden catches me shes just so simple yet amazing. Continuing to hold her paw as he made his way into a dimly lit room

After almost stumbling over every other wooden step, Eden was finally led by Skyler into a dim room. Her eyes took a few seconds to adjust. A breeze blew through the broken windows, causing her to shiver and move closer to Skyler. When she looked out the windows and up at the sky, Eden saw that he had been right. The cloudless night sky held thousands of twinkling lights: the stars. She stared at them, as though mesmerized. The stars flashed back at her. Eden often managed to sneak out at night, climb into a tree, and gaze at the stars many a night. A smile spread across her face and her golden eyes twinkled. "They're really pretty, Skyler," she said, tilting her head to one side. Indeed, they were captivating.
Jared left the top few buttons undone and pulled the towel and bag up. Feeling refreshed and actually slightly hyper, he happily puttered down the stairs. He went to the small stash of extra supplies and bags and let the towel and bag fall among it. Then he turned and strolled along the large main room, towards the medical room where Kathleen was waiting.
It was growing dark and Jared caught a glimpse of the clear beautifully starry night sky through the open doors. A chilly wind blew through, running through his still slightly wet hair. Goosebumps rose up on the back of his neck from the cold but Jared couldn't help stopping to stare outside. Maybe after Kathleen helped him with his arm he would visit outside or maybe he would go up to the attic or roof. The night looked wondrous. Shaking off his rather mellow thoughts, Jared smiled and entered the medical room, catching sight of Kathleen.
He waved and moved forward in front of her.

"There you are Jared," she said with a smile, "Take a seat for me," she motioned with her hand toward the table. She was happy they had electricity, or it would be too dark to treat him.
He sat on the table and she began the procedure.
"So about the storage garage..." she began, "I have some furniture, and a safe. We could make it a little homier here, and we could definitely use the money for food and other supplies."

Jared nodded and sat, watching Kathleen's hands with interest as they began applying cleaning agents and even advanced medications to speed up the healing process of his arm. Her father had been apparently a gold mine for everything they needed. His gaze moved to Kathleen as she began to talk though and he listened intently. "So about the storage garage..." she began, "I have some furniture, and a safe. We could make it a little homier here, and we could definitely use the money for food and other supplies."
Jared nodded his head slightly. "The money would definitely be helpful, but I don't know how we can lug furniture out - especially to the middle of nowhere - without attracting at least a little attention. We can always rent out a car - or take one if we feel like not using money on that sort of thing." He was thinking out loud, letting his thoughts run away through his mouth.

Kathleen continued her work on Jared's are, ensuring that her movements were precise but soft so she wouldn't cause him any pain. What he said was running through her head, as she attempting to think of what she had exactly in the store-room.
"Well if we got the money out we could rent a moving truck? It's not strange to be picking up furniture from one of those places, and we could park it somewhere until it was dark and then bring it down to the warehouse? It is owned by someone, so as long as none of the kids are seen, we might be able to slide by without much suspicion. That just severely takes away our man-power though..."
She tugged a little tightly as she finished applying the new cast, "Sorry, if that hurt, but you're all done!"
The bag sitting on the table lay unzipped as she reached in and pulled out a bag pull of pill bottles, She listened as she scanned the labels for something to give him.

Despite the fact that his arm was now tightly bound in the cast, Jared barely felt any pain at all. "Thanks Kathleen!" He said, drawing his arm closer to himself where it lay comfortably on the table in front of where he sat. "Anyways, we aren't that limited in manpower. I think we can still take some of the older-looking and mostly-human looking ones to help move the furniture. Since it'd be dark, nobody would really notice anything off," he mused. He watched the ex-scientist search through the bag of medicines as he spoke.
"So I suppose I will go to get the money and rent the truck and all that tomorrow night?" He added after a natural pause in his rambling thoughts. "After all, we need to inform the others about this. I wouldn't want them to think that we were under attack and get my arm broken or something again." His tone became slightly joking as he nodded down to the cast in front of him. "I've had enough being beaten up."

Kathleen smiled, "No problem, it's what I do best"
She found the bottle she was looking for and handed it to him, "Take these as needed for any pain you have, but no more than 2 every 4 hours."
The bag zipped shut as she tucked the pill bag back into the bag.
"Tomorow night sounds great.
She yawned and stretched, "I'm a little tired any way..It's been a long day. I think I'm going to take a nap." She grabbed a blanket and smiled at Jared, "Unless their is anything else you need?"
((Gonna be at work all night))

[Alright. Good luck. :O]
Jared accepted the pills and nodded in understanding of Kathleen's instructions. He stashed them away into the breast pocket of his shirt. At Kathleen's question, he shook his head and stood up. "I won't bother you anymore," he said, smiling. "Go rest." He bent his head in farewell and ambled away, putting his free hand into a pocket. Outside of the makeshift medical room, Jared shivered slightly and went to the pile of extra... stuff waiting in a stack. He pulled out a blanket and carefully threw it around his neck.
Then, taking the steps two at a time, he headed towards the highest point he could at that moment. The top floor. Settling down by the window, he leaned against the sill and stared outside at the dark night. He took in the bright twinkling stars, the shadowy masses that were the trees, and his eyes slowly closed as sleep overcame him.

Ow....F*ck. That hurt.
A girl slowly opened her eyes. It hurt to see, but her eyes managed to adjust. All she could see was white. It was a while before she realized she was in a room. An empty white room, with one ceiliing light and a door. It took a few more moments before the girl noticed she was tied to a chair. She looked at herself. Skylar's blood from when he was hit by the bullets were smeared all over her pullover. The scent of the blood irritated her. A sharp sound filled the room. The door was opening and stepping in was the man who knocked her out.
"Hello, Joanne. I see you're awake. I must have hit you little too hard." He gave an ugly sly grin. Joanne took energy to respond, slightly slurring her words.
"Ughh... Not you....Where....Am I...?"
"You're in a safehouse not too far from the city, but far enough so no one knows you're here. Not even your hybrid friends." He slowly gestured to a large vat of water behind Joanne. Her eyesight was so bad she didn't notice it before.
"That there is your punishment. I will continuously dunk you in the water, slowly drowning you. And I won't stop until I feel you've learnt your lesson." His grin widened. He walked up to Joanne and dragged the chair up to the giant basin, and started tilting the chair until Joanne's head was barely touching the surface of the water.
"I don't care if we share the same blood," Joanne hissed. "I will see to it that I'll kill you!"
"What a brave heart you have, Joanne. But I'm afraid your punishment begins now."

It felt a bit strange having Elesh's tail around his arm. He wondered if this is how it felt when he did to others, although when he did it it was to prevent the opponent from struggling while he strangled their life away. Krein shook his head, getting rid of the thought, it couldn't be the same, this felt much to warm and comforting. As he was lead, his eyes kept wandering around, the scenery of miscellaneous items started to change around him, from hard steel and iron, to soft linens. Perhaps there would be something there that would be of more use for warmth than the old pieces of cloth that were found about around the old factory that they were staying at. His attention turned to Elesh as she headed up onto the shelves, her tail unraveling from his arm. He stood and awaited the return for his partner, it was a strange feeling just standing there, unable to really do anything to aid them in this expedition.
