Again, the four shared a silent look, then three turned back to watching their surroundings while the sergeant stayed on the radio.  It was turning into an interesting day.  The conversation between the two strangers wen't quickly, and he was silent through the brief roar of action surrounding the new arrival.  He left Knight's question hanging; what little he understood would be far better explained in person rather then trying to over a radio channel, especially when there was trouble brewing.  All that weapons fire on Knight's part might have drawn some unwanted attention to the area of the pier.<br/><br/>"Hold tight, Knight.  We are enroute now, approximate arrival in five hours."  If things went according to plan, they would be there in three, tops, but it was always better to aim a little over just in case.  "Four-Two, I am now leaving these means.  Will attempt a radio check every hour."<br/><br/>Then he was getting his gear ready, while Stiner headed back inside to update Toby and Ashley.  He wandered back into the room the two were relaxing in, weapon slung casually and staying near the door since they would be heading out shortly.  "Sergeant has made contact with some other survivors.  We are continuing with our mission.  Your choice if you want to come with, or hold here.  It's secure, you've got supplies."  He shrugged indifferently; the decision really was theirs, but the soldiers wouldn't mind either way.<br/><br/>Elsewhere, others had heard all the radio chatter, and were already on the move.  A band of survivors, the sort you really didn't want to run into.  A fairly succesful group, numbering in the dozens with working vehicles, generators, and living in a police station that had been beefed up during the Outbreak as a National Guard command post with extra fences and barricades.<br/><br/>They had guns, supplies, and numbers.  And weren't the least bit shy of killing anyone for what they needed to keep living.  And the chance of getting not only some more gear, but Panacea too?  It couldn't be passed up.  They rounded up a posse and would be at the pier in just a couple of hours, with plenty of time to deal with this Knight fellow and ready a good ambush.
