"Unfortunately, that wouldn't be the best idea," Alex sighed. Already knowing Alan would ask, he already began to explain. "Even ignoring the fact there might be a lead in this town, there's another important detail. Supplies. We simply do not have enough supplies to go back out into the wastelands to find another town, even stretching what we have as thin as possible." To prove his point, he opened his bag, to reveal a small half-full flask of water, a loaf of bread, and his tent.<br/><br/>"As it is, we<span style="font-style: italic">have</span>to stop at this town, if only to restock." Closing his bag up again, he swung it over his shoulder back into position against his back. "Fact there's gun shots doesn't bode well however, so we should avoid going on our own. That especially goes for you Murdock, because I'm sure you'll find some way to make everyone in town try to shoot you if left alone," he stated, giving Garret a dry look. He might not actively dislike the guy anymore, but he still doesn't particularly<span style="font-style: italic">like</span>him either.<br/><br/>Out of the corner of his eye however, he took note of the state of the town. Like most towns he comes across, it is quite frankly not the kind of place one would think hospitable. Judging by how nervous many of the people walking around are, the town's either raided often or has been taken over by bandits, namely one of the less friendly groups. The fact he's fairly certain he saw a few forlorn looks when the gunshot filled the air told him that people getting shot wasn't common around here, but wasn't unheard of. Which might mean people getting shot to death, for one reason or another.
