Mexican Standoff

“FUCK ME.” Frank yells, seeing you as you pop up.

Bringing your gun up you fire first at Tom, who's focused on the woman prepared to rut between her splayed thighs, is a great target. You pull the trigger twice in rapid secession, your first round hits Tom in the armpit and as much as the same with Ronald Reagan it does a lot of damage. The second round as Tom had been starting to turn hits him in the Shoulder, spinning him around, and crumples to the floor with a whimper.

Frank drops down and reaches across the stunned woman and grabs her dragging her off the bed, while Rob jumps trying to get to the shotgun. Quickly you decide he’s the bigger threat you fire at Rob who's scampering on the ground, pulling the trigger a third time your round misses the target, ricocheting off the tile into the darkness. Before you can shoot again, Rob acquires his firearm and starts to spin around facing you, unfortunately for him your fourth round slams into his wind pipe just about blowing his head off.

Turning back to Frank you see he’s now standing, with the now sobbing woman held in front of him as a shield. He has a hunting knife, which he has laying against her throat.

“Why don ‘t you put the gun down, before I have to hurt this fine piece of ass before I can enjoy her.” Frank, says in a low growl.

“Sorry Frank, I just can’t do that.” You say, keeping your gun pointed at him. “Let the woman go Frank and I’ll let you walk out of here alive.”

“Fuck You, this cunt is mine, and I’ll kill her first.” Frank boasts.

“Kill her Frank, and you’ll die a few heartbeats later. Even in this world living is better than dieing.” You tell him.

“You bastard, How do you know my name.” He says, spewing hate from his eyes.

Seeing some movement behind him you have a pretty good idea who it is. “You know Frank, you never know who is out there in the darkness.” You say.

“What the fuck do you mean by tha…….. Unngghhh” He start to ask, then without warning two female arms wrap around his neck and with a violent jerk break his neck.

His body drops instantly the knife falling from his hand, as he twitches. The woman shaken by what’s happened crumples to the ground shaking. Lea unclothed like you are crouches down next to the sobbing woman, and wrapping her arms around the woman in comfort whispers something in her ear. The woman wraps her arms around Lea and burrows into her like a half drowned kitten.

Lea looks up at you and for the first time since she interrupted you **** Gwen, you don’t see hate, or disgust, or contempt that’s been there. Her eyes are a little softer as she regards you , but your probably kidding yourself. You hear some movement to see Gwen coming over, nude from the waist up.

“What happened Alex,” she asks, looking surprised to see you naked.

“These three Militia fucks were getting ready to **** that woman and I stopped them.” You say.

“If these three felt safe enough to build a fire, there is probably no one else in here I’m going to get my things and move over that way, pointing off to where some more beds are. Gwen nods and goes over to the other two woman and sits down joining in in giving the newcomer comfort and time to recover.

Feeling out of place you head back to where you were and gather up your still wet clothes you move over to the beds. Arriving, you sit down on the bed, and the smell of clean sheet hits you and for a second you could almost believe you were at home. You start to shake some as the adrenaline start to leave you body, and decide to try and get some sleep when one of the girls comes up to you out of the darkness.
