:: The first thing Richard heard of was Dan Smith, seeming to smile a bit to himself when he heard him call himself an old man, oh it must of been a happy day for him. He listened carefully to the sounds of Dan heading in his little room to invent as usual, shaking his head lightly as he wondered if there wasn't anything Dan couldn't do with technology. Then he found Cassie sitting next to him, his head turning to look over at her as he smiled softly at her company, she was asking what was troubling him, oh if only he could rant about it all day. "Ah you know, the usual crud. I don't know how many more supplies we can take until we run out in this area, this is the only place those... things can't get us. If the entire world is our enemy now, where do we have to go? Ah well... It would be nice to rest in the arms of a pretty lady, don't you agree?" He asked her teasingly, this was meant to be a joke and not intentional flirting, although he couldn't say how she interpreted it.
Next he heard Lauren making her way to the living room, this brought a small smile on his face, she was getting better at the least and he always found himself worrying on whether she actually did her jobs or if she ran back home with her pants full of crap. That reminded him, how long would the machines they had last, the washer, the dryer, the fridge, the television, all that and more came rushing through his mind in a matter of seconds. The last thing he heard was actually two in one, loud knocking in which he began to roll his eyes and sigh as he got up on to his feet and pushed the chair back in. "I'll get it this ti --" He started, but then rudely heard the door burst open as he heard Bryce Lawford enter in, grumbling to himself as he saw the door still open. "What have I told you about leaving that thing open Bryce?! Jeez..." But as he walked to see it, he saw an unusual man beginning to enter, instinct kicking in as he quickly pulled out a pistol and aimed it at his forehead, making sure the red light came on to alert him.
"Close the damn door, stranger! Bryce, this is why I WARN first, so it doesn't happen!" Richard was obviously starting to panic, this man might already be infected, they had to check. "Cass, Lauren, Bryce, SOMEONE get a scanner on this guy and check if he's infected or not, move!" He could feel his arms shaking a bit, but he couldn't let it be seen. "Sir, do not move until we have made sure everything is alright with you... If you resist before this, I will not hesitate to shoot you on sight. Are we clear...?" He made sure not to speak through his teeth while doing this, he wanted to be understood by this man, if anything hostile came out of him he was sure to shoot his shoulder by accident, but he had to calm himself for now, this man wouldn't dare be hostile with a pistol being aimed at his head, he thought to himself. ::
