<strong>Name: </strong>Jack Harth<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Jack's Apartment<br/><strong>Wearing: </strong>Red t-shirt, blue denim jeans.<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Elena (Mentioned), Tristyn (mentioned), Chrissa, Billy, Michael, Tom, Elizabeth<br/><br/><strong>"Good to see you, too, Tom. You can relax around here. These are good people."</strong>He would say to his friend. Then, his attention turned towards those two whom had stepped out onto the balcony<strong>"Black short hair, muscular physique.  Caucasian. Earring in the left ear only. Probably has some fancy, expensive watch."</strong>These words were addressed to Chrissa and Billy, giving them some idea of what he looked like. He couldn't be sure how well of a glimpse they had caught of him back at Tristyn's place, and he wouldn't want either of them taking shots at someone that didn't deserve it.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, though concerned about his girlfriend and regular friend, Elena and Tristyn going off like that, he was fairly certain that Tristyn wouldn't go off and do something half-cocked; and he was also quite certain that Elena would not go back to Dean, no matter what he said or did. Nor would Dean hurt her; at some point, she had meant too much to him, and he doubted that had changed any. So, while thinking of these things, he gets the hot leather armor off of his body, and the leather chaps (which went right over his jeans), too. He just takes it off in the kitchen, knowing full well that the bottom layer would remain firmly in place.<br/><br/>These items, for now, find their way onto his bed; they're just thrown onto it, so he could technically remain in the living room, listening to the others; particularly Elizabeth, as she shouted.<strong>"He's not just a survivor. He's an egomaniac who only cares about himself. He makes his living by sharping, swindling, and ruining peoples lives. He exploits others. He's dangerous. Do you really think someone who enjoys getting people strung out on drugs, then forcing them to do horrible things for their next fix, is the kind of person we want around? Especially if he's already proving to be an antagonist."</strong>His answer was cold, and calm, as he moved back towards the kitchen.<br/><br/>Then, Michael felt the need to speak. Admittedly, he was at least rational, and did bring up a good point. Jack took a deep breath in, and let it out slowly, as he got a bottle of cold water from the fridge. He was parched, and took a few moments to drink from it, before responding.<strong>"I am listening to myself. I'm also thinking about the future. I know I can't see things the way you do, but no matter how I look at it, I can't help but see us being in danger so long as he's around. It's vehicles now, but think about it; you're the one who mentioned the importance of getting out of here, and fast. He's making that difficult. Considering none of us knows how to hotwire a car, and we're not likely to just find some keys in the ignition, just waiting for us to use them, we are now at a serious risk, are we not?"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Furthermore, if we were to walk, that will leave us vulnerable, fatigued, and moving at a mere fraction of the pace we could cover with cars. We'd also have to abandon supplies; combine that with using them up more quickly, especially things like clean drinking water, and we run into yet another very real risk of danger. A situation he created, and which, given the opportunity to do so, he is likely to exploit to further harass us."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Maybe you're right. But he is a threat, and diplomacy is not something that will work on him. What else can we do? Do we just let him continue to sap us, sabotage us at every chance he get, steal our things, possibly try to kidnap some of the women in our group, possibly kill some of us if he's given the chance and the reason to do so? Let him extort us?I just don't see any option that isn't baring our throat to a wolf that doesn't even bother to use sheep's clothing. If their was, I'd take it, because I know exactly what it is that I was talking about."</strong>
