[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael narrowed his eyes ahead as the compound came into view. In the distance, he could still hear that damned thing roaring.

[Grayzers]

She seemed to relax in the slightest at the sight. She picked up speed, heading for it. "Almost there.." she said mostly to herself.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

As they approached the compound, Cael sounded his whistle to tell them to open the gates. Two armed guards scurried to clear a path for the racing vehicle to come through.

[Grayzers]

She slowed down enough so that she wouldn't be a hazard ti anyone but raced inside nonetheless. She skidded to a stop once they were clear of the gates, her eyes glancing to Cael.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Once they had come to a stop, Cael leaned back and put his feet up on the dashboard. "Well, that was fun."

[Grayzers]

"If you say so." She said, unbuckling.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael swung his legs down and then hopped out. He grinned at Garret Jensen, one of the team leaders, approached them. "What happened out there?" the man said. "You guys came roaring in here."

[Grayzers]

Jasmine got out of her jeep, pocketing the keys. She decided to let Cael explain

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Believe it or not, I ran into a scagdead," Cael said.

Jensen's eyebrows rose. "Haven't seen one of those in a long time," the team leader said. "We'll have to send a team out to go kill it. Were you out there alone?"

Cael shook his head. "My partner was with me. I doubt he's still alive."

[Grayzers]

Jasmine cleared her throat. "Id be willing to go with that team to kill it sir." She spoked

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael glanced at her and rolled his eyes. "Well, I'm sure as hell not."

"Yes, you are," Jensen said, giving him a hard look. "You're going to direct us to where you first saw it, and you're going to help us find your partner. Dead or alive."

[Grayzers]

Jasmine smiled in the slightest and quickly hid it. She found hi swear somewhat amusing.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael glowered at him but didn't protest. "Fine. Who else is coming with us?"

"I'll send Shira," he said. "She could probably use something to do."

[Grayzers]

Jasmine blinked, leaning against her jeep with a small yawn.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Wait here," Jensen ordered. He turned and walked toward one of the housing buildings. Cael leaned against the jeep, his arms folded over his chest and a scowl still on his face.

[Grayzers]

"Dont be so worried." She said to him. "Think of it as an adventure."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I'm not worried," Cael replied. "I just don't want to see that disgusting thing again."

[Grayzers]

"Well, the virus is a part of our lives." She shrugged. "Its certainly not pretty. But it's not going anywhere."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael grunted but didn't reply. He could see Jensen returning with another person, a girl that looked about the same age as him. She strode up to the jeep, watching Cael with fierce eyes. "So we goin' to go kill this thing or what?"

[Grayzers]

Jasmine examined the girl, arms still crossed lightly over her chest. She wondered vaguely if the two were a couple.
