Tia chuckled at the thought.<br/><br/>CJ was supposed to meet her near the back gate and that was wear Tia waited in the shadow of the makeshift wall near the “junkyard.”  It wasn’t really a junkyard.  It was where some of the larger pieces of salvage were taken and left until they could be parted out or otherwise used.  There were piles of wood and brick, pipes, old cars, tractors motors and other such valuable detritus sorted and haphazardly stacked.  Her back was against the wall as was one booted foot.  Her body language was one of eased content.  She wasn't in a rush.  Tia wore cut denim shorts that hugged her form and a nude sleeveless body suit.  Her naturally caramel skin tanned deeper by the sun.  Her black hair fell about her shoulders and was clipped back to keep it out of her eyes.   A pair of knee-high cowboy boots adorned her feet.<br/><br/>She planned to explore a little further afield today.  She wasn’t expecting to find some giant haul but her old beat up truck was parked next to the gate anyway and they could toss anything useful into the back if they found it.  Tia spotted a figure crossing exit the house and let her gaze follow the woman, a friendly smile on her face.  Tia wasn’t the kind of person to give a new recruit a lot of shit just because they were new.  As far as she was concerned, they were all in this together.  You were generally good in her eyes until you proved yourself to be something different.<br/><br/>“Morning.” She greeted the woman and pushed herself off the wall, extending her hand in greeting.  “I’m Tia,” Her smile was pleasant and warm much like Tia herself.<br/>
