The car lurcher forward, Terrence lost his balance, and his mess of white hair hit the seat just a split second before his temple did. He bit his lip hard to keep from shouting in pain.

Observing Mike's face, he saw tears roll down the boyish, macho man's cheeks, and cocked his head to one side. Interesting. The poor man seemed lost in thought, his foggy eyes welled with tears and the memory of lost loved ones. Terrence knew that feeling.

"Hey...you? You n-need to snap out of it...I know it huh-hurts but...w-we're in danger, a-and you need to..." He coughed in unison with Faye in her seat, then reached over and snapped his fingers in Mike' sface.

"Sn-snap out of it."

[Magus00]

Mike barely heard Terrance. In a feral rage, he hurled himself at the door. Fortunately, it not only held against the weight, but knocked him out in the process.

((Lotta fun so far guys, but I'm gonna be at a hockey game for the next several hours. See ya later!))

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin was looking back as the thought of jumping out and chasing it ran through his mind a few times. When he came back to earth he saw Mike....crying? What was going on? He didn't know but he knew he was gonna help. "Mike" Mike's head didn't move. He looked enraged. "....I don't know what that thing did to you, but I want to know and I want to help you blow that Mother F***er to hell. We''l do it, but later when we have a little more of the element of surprise."

Gavin stuck his hand out to be shook. "Is it a deal?"

[GerkinMcGrimley]

((wow that looks stupid. Let's say again Mike didn't hear me and ran into the door OK?))

When the car lurched suddenly, Faye slammed against the seat she swore she felt vertebrae shifting. She winced, and then realized the ringing had stopped, and she could actually SEE. Finally...thought that would never stop... She saw Terrence rubbing his temple, and heard him start coughing as well.

Maybe the coughing isn't just my asthma, and Terrence was right. It's a signal that tall man is after you. Sweaty blonde hair covered her eyes, and she flinched back as Terrence's arm appeared abruptly in front of her, his fingers snapping in front of Mike's face. Then she saw Mike's face, furious, before he slammed himself into the door of the car. Confused, she grabbed Mike as he slipped down in his seat, peeling back an eyelid to check if he was still concious. Nope, he's out like a light... she thought, struggling to hold him upright in his seat. "We might have a slight problem back here, guys!" she said weakly, fighting to be heard over the roar of the engine.

((Have fun XP We'll cart your body around, pyro. Well okay maybe Faye won't because she's a weak barely-not-teen, but someone will! XD))

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin looked at Mike's unconcious body. good to know he heard me he thought to himself. He looked at Faye. There was something odd about her like she was scared. As everyone began to get out Gavin said to Terrance,

"Your gonna have to carry him. No one else can"

As they got out Gavin walked immediately to Faye

"I was spacing out in the building so I don't know what happened but you seemed spooked. What's wrong? I won't tell anyone"

[Watson]

The tall, lanky framed man with white hair hoisted Mike onto his back, and stepped out of the truck, falling in step along with Gavin and Faye. Terrence peered at Gavin, then back at Faye, who was still looking sickly.

"The T-Tall One. He's targeted us. All of us, I th-think." His blue eyes flashed forward to the factory in front of them, and he tilted his face to look at it from a different angle. It was a habit.

A habit unfortunately picked up from the Masked Man, Terrence realized.

He looked back at Faye and shuddered, coughing slightly. "Are y-you doing alright?"

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin looked at the guy...Terrance? Whatever it was he had just brought everyone's attention to Faye. Great buddy I bet that'll make her feel better he thought. He looked back at Faye. She stared at Terrance. Gavin looked at them both.

"Hey what did you say to her that has her spooked?"

[bionic madman]

David heard gaving talking to someone about carying mike. "don't worry about guys i'll handle that." he said as he went over to terance and litfed mike with one arm over his shoulder. "now everyone stick together and yell if you see anything out of the ordinary. anyone with a gun join up with someone who doesn't." i hope we'll make it there.

[bionic madman]

(( i have to leave for a bit to hookup a new router my mom just got))

[Renren]

Mia sat the whole car trip in silence, barely glancing over when Mike knocked himself out. She got out of the car with the rest of them. "I don't have a gun," she said. "Only this pipe."

[raelyn]

Faye had been dizzily spacing out, shivering slightly. Someone said her name several times, and she finally snapped back to reality, feeling slightly feverish. Both Gavin and Terrence were looking at her. She gave a sheepish, wavering grin, then answered.

"I'm okay, just....this is alot to take in. This seems like something in a movie, something that isn't real. But it's real. And I'm worried about my brother, Jake. He's the only family I've got left, and he might be....might be dead by now." She reached up to rake her hand through her hair, a nervous habit she'd had for years, before looking hazily up at the factory, chewing her lower lip anxiously. I really hope there's someone here that's willing to help us out...

She glanced at the new girl, Mia, who was holding a pipe, then pulled out the M9 David had given her. Funny, that was probably only 15 minutes ago, but it feels like I've known these people for a long, long time. I guess surviving something like that is a bond you can't explain, eh? She held the handgun in both hands, pointing it down and slightly to the left, finger resting on the side of the gun, like she'd been taught.

After a moment of thought, she flipped the safety off, taking care to point it away from everyone. "I've got a gun, by the way. If you don't have a weapon, pick someone who does, like David said."

((Mmkay! I'm chillin' here doing my Anatomy homework between posts so I'm basically just F5ing over and over XD, I'll be here for a long while tonight.))

[Watson]

((OOG: Yeah, I've got nothing much else to do tonight, so if I have the time I'll be able to post often. ))
With one of Mike's shoulders on top of himself, and another on top of David, Terrence realized just how hefty Mike must have been, as a military man. He reached into one of the many hlsters the officer had and pulled a pistol out, examining it.

He'd never used a gun, much less even seen one used, but plenty of the Tall One's victims ahd attempted to use them in their fight against him None had been very successful. His blue eyes flickered to Faye as she began speaking, finally, and he spoke with an air of hopefulness in him.

"I d-do not know of your brother Jake, or w-whether or not The Tall One would have t-targeted him, but if he is here, alive, w-we will find him." Terrence gave another weak, strange smile that he had begun to feel comfortable with, and continued on his way with the group towards the factory.

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin turned away. He just wanted Terrance to feel a bit awkward. He had always been kind of a jerk in the respect if he didn't like the person when they first met then he didn't like them for a long time. He was looking at Faye. Even with her newly equipped gun she still looked flustered. Gavin had a gun, but he wasn't going to let on knowing Alison would take it right back. He put a hand on Faye's shoulder.

Quietly he whispered, "I don't know what Terrance said to you, but I promise you this. We'll find your brother and make sure he's safe I swear."

He dropped his hand from her shoulder and stuck it out to be shook

[Renren]

Mia watched everyone carefully. She still didn't know all their names, only Stephen's, Mike's, and David's. There was one other girl, a guy with white hair and a stutter, and another guy who seemed to be a little more gung-ho about things. She wasn't sure what to think of them; the second guy seemed a bit like Mike and the guy with white hair seemed nervous. So did the girl, who until recently had been stunned.

Mia decided to keep her mouth shut for a while longer to evaluate the group a little bit more.

Strangely, seeing the tall man hadn't panicked her as much as the rest of the group.
