[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

When they reached the street where he and his partner had split up, Cael gestured at the alley a few yards away from them. It was where he'd last seen the other man.

[Grayzers]

Jasmine nodded, keeping an eye out for any infected. She was ready for this. It'd been a while since she'd gotten any action.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Lol, sorry but that last line made me laugh. Sort of a double entendre)

Cael slunk toward the alley and peered around. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, so he continued on, looking for signs of which way his partner had gone.

[Grayzers]

(Haha its okay XD I see what you mean)

"Whats your partners name?" Jasmine asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Ah... right. Name. Tempted to use Bob lol)

"Harry," Cael murmured back. "But I wouldn't go shouting it."

[Grayzers]

(Lololol)

"Obviously. But I don't want to go up to him if I spot him first without a name."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael shrugged, seeing the login in that. He continued to the end of the alley and paused, peering around the corner onto the next street. All clear.

[Grayzers]

Jasmine kept up with them, keeping an eye on the rear. It was her job after all. She'd always been best at rear security.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael stopped suddenly and narrowed his eyes. "There," he whispered, pointing with his gun at a spot on the sidewalk. At the four drops of blood.

[Grayzers]

Jasmine peered at it, scanning the area for signs of the monster first

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

When Cael decided the area was empty, he strode out and knelt down to inspect the blood. It was relatively fresh, but it was turning brown and would be dry soon.

[Grayzers]

Jasmine stood guard, watching him every few seconds. Otherwise, she needed to keep an eye out for the beast

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael looked around, eventually picking up a trail of the blood. God, he wished he was back at the compound. He didn't want to fight that thing, and really he had no desire to even lay eyes on it again.

[Grayzers]

She swallowed, glancing at the trail. They needed to move faster.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Eventually, they turned a corner and found the man's body in the middle of the street... torn to pieces. Cael grimaced and averted his eyes. Gross.

[Grayzers]

The redhead stared for a few moments before placing a hand on his shoulder. "Im sorry."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael shrugged as he stood up. "We should find that thing and kill it. Faster we do, faster we can get back home and take a shower."

[Grayzers]

Sam frowned slightly, pulling her hand away. "Alright." She nodded, focusing again. She sighed through her nose. She shouldn't have assumed he'd seek comfort.
