Heather was a statue at this point. Her eyes were closed, trying oh so desperately to figure out just how she was going to survive this. Nothing was coming to mind. Nothing that involved only her, anyway. She knew very well that she couldn't simply just lay her trust in these people to look after her. It didn't make sense. What she did know is that everyone had to work together. What she didn't know was how.<br/><br/>This left her just as she was for the last few minutes; stone stiff. Nothing around her really mattered. There was no getting her to contribute to this situation. Not yet. It still made no sense. It was still so very unreal to her. She could see zombies shambling along outside, but it made no difference. It was unreal.<br/><br/>Having Jake come up behind her, whispering into her ear that things would be okay was probably the most calming, settling thing that has happened so far today. He was a bit of a brute by the looks of things, but but he had an eye for damsels in distress and knowing exactly what to say. Smart guy. She finally turned around, absorbing the bit of a mess behind her with the number of people trying to sort things out. In the end, she could do nothing but hug Jake again. She couldn't be strong for everybody, so why not hug the strong guy?
