Location: <i>Near #3,4,5</i><br/>
Addressing: <i>Rachel, Clive</i>​</div><br/>Damn it, that woman was running straight into the arms of someone and from the little bit that Rebel could see, it wasn't her brother. This body was thicker than Tobias, maybe a smidge bit taller, and Rebel realized he could see that the movements didn't match those of the elder Strickland sibling one bit.<br/><br/>It's strange, the things a mind picks up.<br/><br/>Rebel also realized that whoever it was, the person didn't mean Rachel any harm. It wasn't shuffling like a walker or reaching for a weapon, and from what he could tell, the person was alone. Through the sounds of the river frogs and distant bonfire he heard movement in the darkness that could have been people or it could have been nearby dead drawn by the sound of gunfire and shouting.<br/><br/><i>'Thanks, Rachel,'</i>he thought.<br/><br/>Her scream didn't help any; probably woke any idle dead that were within earshot, but nothing could be done about that now except to get the refugees to safety.<br/><br/>The stranger seemed reasonable enough from what Rebel could hear as he approached, constantly scanning for others. What was the saying? Cowards Ran In Packs? It probably wasn't what the CRIPs meant when they gave themselves that name, but it stuck.<br/><br/>"Rachel, come to me," Rebel cautioned. He was still at the low ready, still wary after Hale's mention of the "other group" that Sou had paired with in hopes of bringing Abendblume down. He eyed the other man, noting the 'we' he used. "If you and your group didn't shoot those shots, who did?"<br/><br/>It seemed safe enough to holster slowly. If he had learned anything from patrolling it was that those who lived on the outside didn't take kindly to firearms being out. He held his left hand up, mirroring the other man's peace gesture, and slowly did so.
