I flail my arms as I jump the gap, not anticipating the distance I just grip the side of the building and pull myself up scraping my knees in the process. I stand looking over to where I just jumped from laughing "yes whos the parkor king!" I turn looking down the street still full of infected but no signs of Glenn or the police officer I assume the worst and continue jumping from building to building.

What I went through on street level shows that the city isnt as safe as it was in the early stages of the infection I have to make move for the country side and live in a farm house somewhere. I reach the last building im able to jump to and find the streets clear, or at least for the moment. I begin climbing down the fire escape when it begins raining, I just shrug makig my way down further but then I hear gunshots and that gets my attention.

I laugh "dont work yourself up Luke, there has to be plenty of other survivors in the city" I make my way to street level when I notice a truck sitting in plain site in the middle of the road and a man and woman with rifles on myself, the man lowers it laughing "well I'll be darned another human" he had a noticeable southern drall, the woman follows his action lowering the rifle but not stopping her obvious glare of distrust.

He slings the rifle across his back "the name Earl Smith this is my wife Nancy Smith who might you be?" He smiles and I only say "Luke" he walks out stretching his hand into a shake I stare but then shake it. He brings me over to Nancy and speack first "nice to see a young man grow a pair amd hoof it on his own isn't it honey" Nancy seemed to dump her glare altogether and smile "sure is sugar" they offer me a granola bar, I take it and tuck it in my bookbag.

"Not the grateful type are ya? Someone usually says thanks for something like that" he jokes pulling out a pistol pointing it at my face, I drop all trust of them at that point. His face turns deadly pointing the pistol on the ground "drop all your weapons and items on the ground" I stare and he points the gun in the air and shoots at my feet missing by inches "I dont want to say it again, I'm not the type of man who likes repetition" I drop my bookbag and weapons down.

Nancy laughs checking her rifles clip "how much a head start you want to give this one Earl" he does the same spitting out what I think I chew tabbaco "I say a minute, starting now" I take the hint and bolt down the street putting the distance between us before the hail of rifle fire rains on me. I duck behind a truck as the bullets shatter the window sheilds I notice a door into a restaurant and throw the door open, the duo laughs "wow honey we can stop for a bit to eat" Earl shoots a few shots.

I am ducked under a table as the glass falls at my feet im traped in the diner with two armed "hunters" at the front door, I stay low and crawl to the back kitchen area and check the door opening it slightly and count about five walkers. I know in an open area they wouldn't be much to look at but all in am close quarters building, like a diner, that would do damage.

Nancy is the first to risk a move inside with Earl close behind "your cornered buddy boy, come out now and we'll make your death quick" Earl taunts, I duck griping a butcher blade I found next to a rotting hunk of raw meat. Someone goes for the bathroom door and a walker growl is heard along with a large crashing sound of tables being tipped and plates shattering. The noise of a screaming woman ring as I hear growsly sounds of skin being ripped and tworn apart, obviously even from my hiding spot i knew Nancy had fell victim to the gruesome attack.
I jump across the counter kicking the stunned Earl who was in a trance seeing his wife being towrn to shreds, he dropps his gun in pain a and fights back. I throw a knee in his stomach and he coughs punching me in the face and then tossing me twords a table, I crash splintering the wooden table. He obviously had me both out matched and out muscled, I had little to nothing that showed I would claim victory I might just have dumb luck if it comes to it.

I stand using the momentum of my semi-sprint to tackle the man to the ground, tossing a flurry of blows everywhere but he just as easily as throwing me, he turns me to the ground to gain the uppef hand. I take a few hits in the jaw and reach for a shard of glass driving it in his eye, he screams and I kick him into the walker who was finished with Nancy, now drove what was left of his teeth into the hunters shoulder. I walk up to the walker and kill it quickly leaving Earl to moan in pain "well go on finish me!" He challenges spitting blood from the fight.

I laugh and he looks at me as if I was insane "sorry Earl your nothing more then a bully, you know what my school said when a bully challenges you? Walk away" I turn twords the door to leave him cursing up a storm but then I stop. I turn back and grab his rifle and lookmat the hunter "mind if I take this and im sure you wouldn't care if I took your truck for a joy ride, nah your cool with it" I walk back outside and move to the truck leaving the hunter to his own fate.
