Leia had noticed the uncomfortable look on his face and smiled. “I don’t bite, honestly, but I do have skills with a knife.” She nodded, he was smart to not stick around here. Zombies in the nearby vicinity could have heard the screech of the zombie as she stabbed its heart. She watched at the casual way Jay simply placed his hands in his pockets and walked away as if the zombie apocalypse didn’t exist and he was invincible. Leia thought hard about whether she should follow and trust him or not, he had trusted her after all. She deliberated as he looked back to check if she was following him and she started walking. She jogged lightly to catch up. The walk wasn’t long but it seemed like forever, a silent and almost awkward forever. When they came to an intersection she stayed silent because, just like Jay, she had no idea of which way they should go. Both ways looked like they went somewhere that they didn’t want to go in the night.<br/>‘Hmmm, such a ghost town.’ She nodded as the foliage covering the buildings cast a horrifying and creepy shadow over the lit ground. The over grown plants made it seem like the movies when you look out your window and see wines or roots or branches that look like a creepy hand. The paranoia was almost overbearing. It would get worse at nightfall. Jay seemed tired and seemed to be thinking about something. “Jay… are you okay? You seem worn out.”  She noticed. She contemplated whether to take him back to the base or not and then thought that she should. He trusted her, now it was her turn to trust him… and he trust her a bit more. It was all about trust, which is a weird but tangible concept in an apocalypse.<br/>“Follow me to my base.” She knew where it was from here, she knew the Tacoma area like the back of her hand. The many tests she had on the Tacoma area in the safe haven were worth it. Tedious, but beneficial in moments like these. As she made her way back she looked for significant land marks and wasn’t concentrating too much on Jay. Then she heard something a couple of streets ahead and held the handle of her knife with skilful hands. When she approached she saw an old school Humvee and a man sitting on top of it with a dog. These were the same people she was spying on earlier today. ‘Please hurry back…’ He must be talking about the girl. She was walking up from behind him and decided to make herself known. She hid her knife before she did so. “Hey, I’m Leia.” She said with a smile.
