<strong>June 1, 8:33 p.m - Jackals and Shots (hunting supply store), Mall, Downtown.</strong><br/><br/>Chris grunted as Caitlin put his wrist in splints and bandaged them but had to commend the young woman on her work. She'd bandaged it up so that he couldn't move it, allowing it to heal properly while allowing enough movement for him to at least used his weapons in a fight. He'd already flexed his fingers and tried holding his gun and seemed to do okay, although the kickback would probably hurt like hell.<br/><br/>They were soon gathered around as Caitlin started the introductions, although he could tell she was nervous being the centre of attention and listened as she introduced herself, a sadness filling him when she spoke about her fiance. Followed by the priest who had noticed him earlier and introduced himself before announcing his plans to retake his church, no doubt hoping people in the group would help him on his quest. Chris noticed that Carl was looking at him the longest, probably because he was the most armed person in their group, not that Chris was going to volunteer for that mission he had his own problems to deal with.<br/><br/>Chris thought he heard a noise and glanced over his shoulder, hearing a new voice introduce herself as Kate and that she was a police officer. After confirming that there wasn't anything there he turned back to face the group, in time to see Sam wave at them all when she was introduced. It was when Kate's eyes was drawn to his that he realised he knew her, remembering they had trained together during some anti-terriorism thing a while back.<br/><br/>He decided he would go next "My name is Christopher Wade, but everyone calls me Chris." he said with a slight wave. "I'm a sniper on the NAPD SWAT team and I was down at Mercy Hospital when everything went to hell, after which I did what I could to help out."<br/><br/>He paused "A few days later my best friend Zeke and I had to escape the NAPD when it was overrun with zombies." he gave a soft snort "We barely made it out of there alive." Shaking his head he continued "We found out that everyone had been given the order to abandon our posts so I went back to my sister's house in the outskirts of town, we had a pretty good defence setup there when I left so it's another possible safe haven if we can make it there."<br/><br/>He glanced around the small group already seeing the<em>Why are you out here then?</em>question forming on their lips and couldn't help but smile slightly as he answered their unasked question. "I'm out here now because Zeke's girlfriend called me saying that Zeke stupidly decided to go back to the NAPD and break into the armoury for some more weapons and ammunition, and if that place is anything like it was when we left it..." Chris paused and looked down at his heavily bandaged wrist as he tried to hide the worry he felt for his friend, knowing full well the odds of Zeke being alive was slim to none.<br/><br/>Taking a breath he looked up at the group, a determination in his eyes "I don't know what I'm going to do after this except head back to the outskirts, find my sister and get the hell out of here. But for right now I only have one goal: find my friend."<br/><br/>There was a long silence when Chris had finished as they waited for the next person to introduce themselves.<br/><br/>
