Willie listened to the other introductions, finally feeling a bit safer for the first time in over a week...<br/><br/>...Until Kate introduced herself as a cop.<br/><br/>Fuck.<br/><br/>He wasn't worried that she would recognize him or anything, he wasn't on<em>America's Most Wanted</em>YET, but... lugging around a few pounds of weed PROBABLY wasn't legal even during a zombie apocalypse, though he kinda was hoping the current situation would preclude her from 'busting him' should she find out. He was suddenly thankful for the dark material of his backpack, and simply smiled and nodded at her whenever she looked in his direction, giving her his most innocent look.<br/><br/>Shit! Would that just make her suspicious of him? Or maybe she'd assume he was just flirting? Crap! DON'T smile! No, wait, that's no good either...<br/><br/>He listened semi-aware, but heard enough to know that she had lost her spouse, as well, and he felt a momentary pang of sadness, remembering the loss of his own brother so recently. Of course, Kate was a cutie as well - and he began to wonder to himself if -every- female was going to be cute from now on? Maybe so, since there were only a handful left. He shrugged and listened to Sam's intro, as well.<br/><br/>The mention of a library sounded like a reasonable place to hole up, if it was defensible. He didn't figure that zombies would have much use for books, but a mall might attract them for any number of reasons with the variety of stores found in the place. Not that Zombies like to shop or anything, but if zombies possessed even a glimmer of their former lives, maybe they'd think that the mall would be a smorgasboard of juicy shoppers. Or maybe some of them still harbored old tastes for karmel corn or McDonald's. He didn't know - but he was pretty sure that zombies didn't eat books.<br/><br/>When Luna spoke up again, asking if anyone had any health issues, Willie shook his head no. He watched the girl dig in to another candy bar, and his own stomach growled. The only food he'd had recently was some pop-tarts, and that was all the food he'd carried in his backpack. Hmm, maybe he could work out a trade or something later for something a bit different.<br/><br/>Caitlin spoke next, and suggested they split into teams. For a moment, Willie imagined himself on 'Team Beautiful', with all the hot chicks, of course, but he figured that wasn't likely, and he wasn't going to dare say that out loud. Instead, he nodded his agreement with the idea - multiple groups could cover more ground, search more area, would be harder to spot by zombies, but would have the downside of less guns - or bats - to fend off a possible attack. Still, the way Caitlin described it, it sounded like an acceptable risk.<br/><br/>Next, Todd spoke up, and seemed to have some sort of special training, or military training or something. Great, TWO fucking cops? No, on second thought, maybe he was just military or something.<br/><br/>Eventually, Todd addressed him.<br/><br/>"Sure, I'll go with the nurse," Willie said, smiling a bit shyly and nodding at Caitlin. He wasn't upset by that at all - if anything bad happened, being near a doctor or nurse seemed like a good place to be.<br/><br/>"I know for sure that those things hunt on sight and sound both, but ain't sure about smell," he said. "I've seen enough evidence to know at least some of them do, if not all of them, hunt on sight and sound. Following the sound of my ATV - which is out by the loading docks, but out of fuel. And I met a couple walkers at the edge of town," he said, swallowing once, trying to forget the picture of his brother's brains painting the walls of the house. "And they came to investigate after they heard me approach. I didn't know they were in there, but hey couldn't see through walls. At least, I hope not."<br/><br/>"How about a radio? Two-way or even a regular one. Maybe we could find out if there's any information being broadcast, or if we could get in touch with someone on the outside world, zombies are much about talking, so if the outside world heard us, maybe they'd talk to us and direct us to some kind of extraction point?" he offered, looking around the group.<br/>
