Ava remained on the couch and listened to rook. He said it wasnt another case of him running off. Her hands ran over the cats fur as her curled up beside her and she smiled. She didnt love this cat whether or not her was a annoying asshole sometimes. When the sound of a atv was heard Ava straightened up and rook told her to stay put while her check it out. Not a few minutes after Sophia appeared wearing a mans loose tshirt and basketball shorts. The look on her face meant she knew rook was back but she moved through the place looking for liv. She didnt find her inside by the looks of it and stormed outside.
Ava jumped up and moved out onto the porch behind her. Shes watched as all four od the horses approached which now made Ava worry. Their sister would never wander off without them knowing and she wouldve taken her horse atleast. Thats when sophia spun around to face her and the anger was obvious in her face. Her older sister jumpered her case asking where liv was then made a crack about her being a whore. "Well looks to me sis like you have no Room to talk. Tell me what did you do last night?" She responded rather flatly looking her sister up and down.
Sophia spoke down her her and blew off her accusations. AS well as grilling her about rook then calling her pathetic. At the point her blood was boiling and before she knew it her fist connected with her sister's face. After that all hell broke loose when Sophia grabbed her by the hair and slaped her a few times. Ava tackled her to the ground and slapped her back a few times.

Looking at Henry as he barked out an order about the man, Simon grabbed Mimi's tranq rifle off the floor. Aiming it at Logan's side, he squeezed the trigger and the dart flew out hitting it's mark. Soon, the man would be falling asleep because of the drugs kicking in. Grabbing him by the shoulders, he would just drag the man out of Cabin 3 and to around the side. He was a big boy and was heavy. Letting go of him, he wiped some sweat off his forehead as he stood up straight and cracked his back a bit. "Damn Logan, you need to cut back on whatever your eating....shit..." Simon's eyes saw Arrow standing there without Sophia. She wasn't there and Henry hadn't brought him.
Looking around, he then began to hear the sounds of a fight breaking out as two females were yelling and screaming at each other. The one sounded like Sophia. 'Fucking A.' Dropping the Tranq rifle to the ground, he ran over to the other cabin that the sounds of the fighting was coming from and when he ran up inside, he saw the lady he had riding in his truck, the pregnant one on top of Sophia. Rushing over to her, Simon would hook and arm through Ava's as she was assaulting his beloved Sophy. his elbow tightened around her's and he pulled her off the eldest sister and had her sitting on the Couch again.
Standing in between the two of them and his hands out towards either of them, his eyes fell on Ava. "Your pregnant for fuck sake. Your supposed to be in a non stressed environment. So does anyone in here please tell me what the hell is going on in here that has caused two sisters who clearly love each other for so long to fight like a couple of women who are jealous over a man that they met at bar? I mean, Seriously. From what I'm hearing, we have one missing so far. Is your sister missing too? If so, I need all the details of her and what she likes to do in wooded areas for we have bears, wolves, mountain lions and other predators out there." Grabbing his radio, he prepared to push in the button if they're youngest sister had been missing. He would call it in that they have another missing person out they're in the forest and has been missing since the night before.

Rook arrived late to the party and then it sounded like another broke out back at the cabin Ava was in. “Fuck.” He growled then quickly headed towards it, another man though was quicker to react. His smaller frame quickly getting him to the brawling sisters. Rook came upon them after Simon had removed Ava from Sophia and was preaching at both of them, and then asking about Olivia. Rook came up to Ava’s side, his pale eyes flicking over her quickly to make sure she was alright and then turned his attention to the guy. “Olivia’s missing?” He ask, looking between Ava and Sophia. His brows narrowing as he watched them. They were constantly at each other’s throats. Sophia with her heartless snarky comments, and Ava with her fists. But the girl was going to have to calm it down....she was pregnant. Not that he could blame her though...Sophia was a bitch.
Rook sighed and shoved his fingers through his dark hair. “Shit...anyone know how long she’s been gone?” He ask, not caring to reiterate the dangers that the other guy had listed. He was sure they knew the dangers...they weren’t five years old. He popped the cylinder out of his revolver to check how many bullets were remaining. Satisfied he shoved it back inside and gave the area around them a quick glance. Olivia wasn’t like these two....she was reserved, quiet, peaceful.....without her around these two would kill each other.
If someone else was missing though then perhaps they were together and just lost....hopefully. “We should get a search party together.” Rook said while looking at Simon, noting the way his eyes seemed to follow Sophia. He then turned to Ava, “Try to stay calm Ava, we’ll find her.” Hopefully alive....
Link had been at it for awhile, but he finally got the three heads severed. He held them up on at a time and noticed that all of their brains had been destroyed. Still there was still the off chance that these were just a couple of late bloomers... Still he didn't want to risk it so he set the head down and stretched out the duct tape. He then proceeded to wrap around the mouths of the severed heads. Just in case. Link grabbed the heads and shuffled them into a duffle bag and hoisted it up over his shoulder... These fuckers were fat the bag weighed a ton. Link looked down at the headless corpses and thought it was a shame they didn't know any cannibles... That's alot of fuckin meat there they coulda trade with... Those were some bigboys. Link started walking down the trail a little futher, stopping every so often to note that he wasn't being followed and he wasn't. He stopped in a little clearing about a 15 to 20 yards off the trail and stood against a tree. He set the duffle bag down and lit a cigerette... He was waiting for one of mother's children to go and relieve him of the duffle bag. One of Mother's childreee would be meeting him here soo. All he had to do was wait patietnly as he waited for an unfamilar / or famialer face to come up and greet him and take the heads back to Mother.
Link: Simple as pie.
He said as he took another drag of his cigerette and leaned against a tree.
Chance finally began to stir a bit in his tower. His long lanky legs hanging off the edge of the bed. One foot sticking out from under the blanket as he sat up rubbing his eyes. The towers all had power and thank god for that. Thank god he had the common sense to keep his generator in his tower because he was useless in the morning without his coffee. He stood up and turned on the generator and started a brew for himself. Chance walked over and picked up his binoculars. It was a little thing him and Mimi always did if they woke up the same time they'd watch each other from their towers and blow each other a kiss. Looking through them now he didn't see Mimi, but he felt like he was getting a really late start on the day. He looked over, lowering the binoculars and saw the other four defunkt towers that were out of service, deemed unsafe to use. He didn't know that Ned Henderson was in one of the quarentine'd towers and cooking Meth up in that tower. Chance grabbed a bottle of water and poured iti n the coffee maker and added the beans and waited patiently as he lit up a joint. He picked up his favorite oragnge and black mug and put it under the coffee maker just ready to get some coffee in him. Mimi wasn't in her tower she must be doing an errand. He thought. As he waited for the coffee to brew he picked up his radio ready to hear the playful back and forth that revolved around this time a day on the raidos, but turning it on; he instead heard all same Jack Logan had tried to kill her and mimi. Chance cut off the coffee maker and raced down the ladder to his tower and went to hop on his dirtbike.... Wait. He thought.... Where the hell is my dirtbike. He thought to himself in a panci.
As Simon began to work on removing Jack Logan from the cabin, Henry rushed over to where Ali and Mimi were, bringing along a first-aid kit that was stashed inside each cabin and watch tower. "Ali," he said quietly, "I'm right here, baby," checking her over to see what injuries she might have, "tell me what's wrong, okay?" wiping little bits of blood from around her nose and moving her face around to see if there were any other injuries. Satisfied that there weren't - other than a very shaken-up woman - Henry checked Mimi to see what injuries she might have. "Mimi, are you alright?" Henry asked her; not getting an answer from her, he asked her again......worried about Mimi's condition, he picked her up and sat her in a nearby chair, walking back over to where Ali was at. "C'mon, babe," he said, helping her up, "let's get you sat in a chair and see what happened in here..."
Ali sat on the floor against the wall, as Henry dabbeda at her bloody nose, cleaning it. Ali looked past Henry to Tommy Ryan. He was standing there checking on Bob who got slugged and though he got up he still seemed a little rocked like maybe Jack Logan's punch still had his bells ringing. As Ali spoke her voice came out rough and horse and almost a whisper from being choked. Her throat was feeling very sore.
Ali: Tommy. He said Pepper was missing? You two are friends have you seen her?
Tommy: Haven't seen her since breakfast yesterday morning Ali.
Ali was about to say something else when suddenly the radio went off. It was Simon calling in that Olivia Cromer, one of the three sisters who recently joined the park was missing as well. All of a sudden people were going missing left and right. Ali tried to get up she was still a little shaken but with Henry's help she managed. She rubbed her neck and picked up her tranq gun reholstering it. She looked around and saw all the worried faces wondering if she was ok. Ali put up a hand and nodded as if to say "yeah yeah i'm fine i'm fine i'm a lot tougher than that guys." She didn't know why Jack went crazy and attacked everyone but he seemed to be out of his head with griefe. Ali touched Henry on the arm and looked at him in the eyes....
Ali: You leave Jack Logan alone now ya hear? I'll let you ask him a few questions, but you ain't going to be roughin him up none. I know you Henry McKenna and you're not going to put your hands on Jack Logan understand? His sister is missing and he's not thinking straight. * Ali coughed the strain on her sore throat was starting to hurt. Ali looked over to Timmothy Blackburn* Find out if anyone else is missing? I want a headcount of everyone here. And will someone please get Morris in here? It's time he realized i'm taking over this group. He ain't in charge of dick around here if he can't bother to show up when we need something.
Still rubbing her neck Ali walked over and sat down next to Mimi so her husband could look her over better like he had wanted. She knew he was going to obsess about it until he knew for sure that she was ok. And she was already thinking about what came next. She was going to start gathering volunteers for a search party for the missing girls. But first she needed to know that they were the only one's missing. She needed a plan of attack before she knew her next steps.
Right, when Sophia was gonna roll them Ava was pulled off of her. Her eyes full of anger she looked to see Simon standing between them. Wiping blood from the corner of her mouth and had a scratch across her face and her bruised side now hurt even worse. Slowly sitting up she groaned from the pain. Her eyes went back and forth between Ava and Simon. That was when Simon blurted out something about Ava being pregnant and by the look on ava's face, she knew it was true. "Yeah, Our sister is missing because I left her alone with this irresponsible little girl," Sophia said as she got up and in her face, you could still see her anger.
Rook Entered and was by Ava's side checking her over like he actually cared. He asked how long Olivia had been missing and Sophia Lost it. With a fast pace and a quick movement, Sophia was across the room and her right hook connected with rooks face. She instantly felt the pain but put it to the back of her mind. " You piece of shit. We found you knocked out in a Store. Against my better judgment, we brought you home and you stayed with us. After that, you got with my sister and led her on then disappeared on us." Her tone was angry and she stood in front of the man.
"Then we spent a long time trying to make our sister eat and even come out of her room. Apparently, you knocked her up and then ducked out. She may fall for your shit and take you back but I wont trust you again." She spat out before turned and leaving the cabin. moving to the horses grazing she leaned against arrow and held her hand to her chest. Sophia may have been a bitch to rook but she had indeed trusted him after he came to stay for a while. Know he would know by that statement and even though they always bickered she had actually come to like him before he left. He made ava happy then and that was enough for her.

She did it. It took a long time; days, months, she didn't remember. She was so hellbent on covering and following Stephanie's trail all the way to Wyoming to care, really. Her Jeep had seen better days, but it was all she had besides her cargo. She pulled up to the gates of the state's National Park and, after making sure the coast was clear, slowly slid open the shutter-like door of the Jeep and hopped out, looking around quietly to see just what she was dealing with. She was on high alert, this was definitely unseen territory for her. It could be a nest of the undead, or lawless bandits. Either way, rain or shine, she was willing to kill anyone and everyone to find her partner. Whoever crossed her, in her mind and possibly reality, it wasn't going to be pretty...
Ava Was on top of her sister slapping and clawing at her when an arm hooked through hers and she was pulled up and off of Sophia. She was forced onto the couch and looked to see the man she rode in the truck with. Simon was lecturing her about how she shouldn't be fighting and she knew this but her sister made her so mad. "I don't know how long she's been gone. God this is my fault I should've paid more attention." She said only before Sophia chimed in and called her irresponsible.
Rook came into the cabin and to her side looking her over. She smiled at him slightly but looked down at the floor. "Olivia wouldn't have wandered off for nothing. She had to have been lured off because she would've told us otherwise. She was with a girl named penny last night maybe you should try and find her." Ava said looking up at Simon with a frown and the let her hand fall on her stomach. Her Attention turned at the sound of someone getting his and it was Sophia that Hit rook.
She listened to her sister fly off the handle yelling at rook. She figured she would've gone off when Simon let slip that she was pregnant. Ava was kinda happy she flew over that subject even though she now flipped on rook. Ava was in shock because the way it sounds she was pissed at rook for hurting her and apparently breaking her trust. It left her in a state of shock when he sister finally turned and left the cabin. After a moment she looked to Simon. "We have to find our little sister. She's not a fighter and she could get killed." The worry was conveyed in Ava's voice as she looked from him to rook her hand reaching out and taking his.

Simon's task wasn't easy as Sohpia was dead set on getting around him. But when he dropped his guard down for a moment and a man appeared, thats when Sohpia strikes like a Viper. Getting aorund Simon, her right fist went slamming into the guy who's name was Rook, face. It sounded like it hurt as she recoiled her arm back to her. Looking at it from where he was, it was already starting to turn red around the wrist. 'More injuries.' he thought to himself. She went out of the Cabin as it was now Simon, Rook and Ava. Sighing to himself, he looked at the couple standing there and had his hands up a bit. "We will find your sister and the other missing girl. But I will need you -looking at Ava- and your sister Sophia to make amends. She was in a riding accident last night while riding Arrow. I treated her wounds and now I have to treat those ones too. As for you mister, I don't know the history you have, but there is a medical kit in the kitchen section of the Cabin. There should be a instant Ice Pack inside it. Throw it on the ground to activate the chemicals and put it on your face. That's going to swell badly. Now please, stay in here. And keep that gun handy...two people going missing in the matter of hours in one day don't make sense." Simon turned away and was starting to head out the door until he turned his head and tipped his hat.
"Oh and, my name is Simon Crawford of North Tower." Walking out, he saw Sophia his love standing at her horse. Walking over to her, he gently hooked an arm under her good arm. He would escort her to Cabin 1. Stepping inside, there wasn't anyone inside. Walking in, he had her sit on the couch as he went into the kitchen and pulled the Med kit off the wall with a good yank. Walking back out, he went to his knees. Opening the Metal box, he began to take out wet wipes to clean her open cuts. Dabbing the wet fabric over her lips and over her scratch on her face, he tossed the bloody cloth to the side. Ripping open a few band aids, he put them on her wound on her face. Taking out the Instant Ice pack, he smacked it hard on the floor without saying a word still. As it started to get cold, he grabbed one of the pillows on the couch and set it on her lap. Laying her hand on the pillow now, he gently set the ice pack over her hand and wrist. Sighing a bit, he looked at her with his Ice blue eyes."Second time I had to treat your wounds my princess. Soon I'm going to call you the Princess of Personal Injury. For I swear, you love to have me treating her wounds."
Mimi watched in horror as everything around her had happened. One minute she was just standing there and the next Jack Logan was screaming at people and flipping tables... He punched Bob Sanderson in the face and then tried to choke Ali to death. Mimi shot him with a tranq dart, but she was terrified. She was terrified that she had just killed someone else. Like those fat guys in North Tower. Mimi dropped her tranq gun and was zoned out... She was pretty checked out emotionally in general, but she just wasn't there. Simon, or Henery or both she wasn't sure came up to check on her and somehow she came to be sitting down in a chair, but she just stared out into the distance. Not speaking. Not doing anything, just starring. She was in shock. Normally, it was Mimi's faith and her beliefe that goodness is rewarded with goodness that got her through the end of days, but she had been shaken since she killed those guys. She didn't even carry a gun! She had a snub nose revolver for emergencies but she never carried it and she still managed to kill two people, possibly three now. Henry or Simon or whoever only checked on her for a moment before they left, ran off to attend to something else. Mimi continued to stare at the floor. Not crying, unblinking. But no one had time to notice poor Mimi and her state of shock. She was visibly shaken. All around her people were scrambling looking for the missing girls and Mimi couldn't help she was in shock but when asked she followed everyone outside .....
============== Ali ==================
Morris walked in after all the commotion had died down. Once he saw that Jack Logan had been successfully detained he wasn't shy about coming over and running his mouth. Morris walked passed Henry, which was surpring that Henry didn't have any words for Morris, but perhaps he was busy staring at Jack Logan trying not to kill him for putting his hands on Ali. Morris stepped inside he cabin and took off his park ranger hat and set it down on a table. He put both hands on his belt and in a completely posturing, ego inflating way he adjusted his belt letting out a great sigh like he had just singlehandedly ended the crisis. Dumbass didn't know that people were missing or else he would still be hiding someone avoiding responsibility. He liked the feeling of being in charge and bossing everyone around when there wasn't any danger but when shit was going on and they needed his help, Morris Harper usually found some place to hide and wait out the storm.
Morris: Jesus H. Christ! What the hell people? Ya know, you ought to be dam glad that i'm around here to pick up after you people or you'd tear yourselfs apart. Now i want everyone to start cleaning this cabin it looks like shit and another thing. i want......
Morris didn't get to finish his thought because Ali had stood up and stormed over to him, reared back and put his lights out.. Ali leveled him with a straight punch to the nose and he dropped like a ton of bricks! Morris collapsed to the floor and slunk under neath a table, hitting his head on the table on the way down. Ali was fed up with Morris's shit and if he wanted to be an absentee leader then he could find some other place to do that. Ali leaned down and took his radio off it belt and she took his keys, and his park rangers badge because honestly he didn't even deserve to wear it so she ripped it off his shirt leaving a nice little hole over his chest in his shirt. Ali clipped the second radio to her belt, she was sure that someone else could use a backup radio or something, Morris didn't need to stay informed because he was never part of the solution anyways..... Ali saw the park ranger's hat and picked it up and put it down on her own head. She's the head park ranger now. Ali clipped the badge to her jacket. She noticed Morris was starting to get up.
Ali: Morris you sack of shit. I'm in charge now. You can go back to hiding wherever the hell you've been hiding. Your services are no longer needed. And send your wife around, at least she's useful from time to time. Go on get! *Ali kicked Morris in the ass and he scrambled to his feet and ran for the door to get his wife, someone who was infinatly more useful than he. Ali turned to everyone in the cabin* Okay people listen up. i need everyone to follow me outside we need to find these missing girls! *Getting on the radio* Everyone meet me in the cent by the park bulletin board ( located in the middle of the cabins, which are laid out in a half circle around it ) *When everyone came outside Ali took charge* Simon i want you to lead a team ( Rook, and Sohia ) with that guy and *Ali raised her eyebrow because she didn't know either Rook or Sophia * and that woman. *Ali turned to Henry* Henry you're getting a team too ( Mimi, Ava) *About this time Chance showed up it took him awhile to run down here but when he did he ran up and hugged Mimi, he had heard on the radio about the missing girls and was ready to help * Chance you're going to be on the final team, you and that girl ( You me and a few others if anyone volutenteers will be team three ( Lewis, and Tommy volunteered ) will be on a team with me. Lets all keep our radios handy don't loose your team and try not to let anyone else go missing. Team 1 ( Simon, Rook, Sophia ) i want you to search around North Tower and West tower, you guys got the northwest quadrant. Henry .... You and your team take between South Tower and East Tower you guys got the southeast quadrant. With North, West, East and South covered my team will start hitting the spots unexpected, we'll start checking caves, abandonded trails and we'll check the 4 defunkt watchtowers .... i got a few other places in mind they could be hold up at.... LET'S MOVE PEOPLE!

As he kept an eye on Jack Logan, Henry's anger began to subside; as much as he wanted to beat the ever-living shit out of the man for attacking his wife, Henry also knew there wasn't time for such brutalities...especially as he watched Mr. Jackass himself, Morris, the lead Park Ranger, walk right on by without a fare-thee-well to Henry; all he could do was stare at the man and think, why you sanctimonious sonuvabitch! a sentiment that apparently Ali shared....
Morris you sack of shit. I'm in charge now. You can go back to hiding wherever the hell you've been hiding. Your services are no longer needed. And send your wife around, at least she's useful from time to time. Go on get! Ali said to Morris, kicking him out of the area - but not before taking his Park Ranger hat, badge and radio from the worthless Morris. That's my Ali, Henry thought, smiling at the sight.
Okay people listen up. i need everyone to follow me outside we need to find these missing girls! *Getting on the radio* Everyone meet me in the cent by the park bulletin board ( located in the middle of the cabins, which are laid out in a half circle around it ) *When everyone came outside Ali took charge* Simon i want you to lead a team ( Rook, and Sophia ) with that guy and *Ali raised her eyebrow because she didn't know either Rook or Sophia * and that woman. *Ali turned to Henry* Henry you're getting a team too ( Mimi, Ava) *About this time Chance showed up it took him awhile to run down here but when he did he ran up and hugged Mimi, he had heard on the radio about the missing girls and was ready to help * Chance you're going to be on the final team, you and that girl ( You me and a few others if anyone volunteers will be team three ( Lewis, and Tommy volunteered ) will be on a team with me.

Nodding his head in agreement, Henry walked over to where Mimi was and quietly spoke to her. "You going to be alright, Mimi? I need your head in the game here; you with us? You are," nodding as she nodded back, "good. Let's get ready to go, okay?" Looking around, Henry saw his ranch hands riding up and smiled. "Mike, Randy, you're with me, Mimi and Ava," looking to see where Ava was. "We're going to make a hard-target search of everything between East Tower," pointing off in that direction, "and South Tower," pointing off in that direction. "Once we've secured both towers, we'll begin going over our tracks," pausing to take the reins of a couple more horses his ranch hands had brought, "and watching for anything and anyone out of the ordinary." Walking over to where he'd kept his horse, he climbed back aboard the stallion and rode over to the others. "Guys, if you'll help them onto their horses, we'll get started."
Rook was standing there looking at Ava when Sophia punched him, her bony little knuckles catching him smartly in his cheekbone. “Fuck..” He snapped, getting punched for the second time since yesterday was no party....There was really nothing he could say to Sophia.....she was going to hate him no matter what he did....so he just wouldn’t speak....Even though he really...reaaaaaally wanted to tell her just how much of a bitch she was. He sighed, turning his head a bit to catch what the other guy said about an ice pack. He gave a short nod. And then it was him and Ava again....but not for long. Suddenly search parties were decided.....and Rook was with Miss Bitchy Pants and her boyfriend.....but the worst part was that Ava wasn’t with him, she would be with another group that better fuckin keep her safe.
Everyone was preparing to leave, Rook suddenly snatched Ava’s arm and pulled her to his chest. “Be careful Ava.” He said simply, pressing his lips against her forehead and stepping back to join his group. His pale eyes shifting to the man who would be leading her team. “She’s pregnant, don’t let her hurt herself out there.”

Both Simon and Sophia walked out of the Cabin and heard the long ass speech Ali has made. The plan was simple. His team, (Team 1: Himself, Sophia and the man she Just rocked in the face Rook) were going to start off at his Tower and make they're way down to Chance's tower which was West Tower. Long that path was a few good spots that rock climbing would be needed. So Simon would need to gear up and climb up to see if the missing girls were on top of them spots. "Lets go team 1, and no fighting....either of you. Put whatever past ill will's you have to each other in the past. We have your sister and a fellow camper here missing. They are most likely scared. So please, play nicely. We are taking the ATV to my tower. It give your horse a break and we can traverse a bit faster without having to take the trails. You...-is pointing at Rook- Your riding in the tail bed. Slide yourself into the strap that is holding my rock climbing gear and you'll be fine. Lets hit them trails." Walking back over to his still running ATV, he opened the tail gate for Rook and then the Passenger side door for Sophia. Once they all were ready, strapped in and ready for one hell of a bumpy ride, Simon took off and was driving off the path. The ATV rocked a bit as he hit bumps and everything else. But they raced they're up towards his Tower up in the North of the Park. Driving center through, he was in a hurry. Slowly, he pushed his foot fully down onto the Accelerator causing the ATV Polaris Ranger to speed up. A slight bump was seen and he hit it causing the ATV to bounce upwards a bit and took air.
Coming back onto all four tires, he could see the tower coming up. Slowing down now as him and his team rolled up to it and stopped right at the steps to the tower, his usual parking spot for it. Killing the engine and stuffing the key in his pocket, he reached around, grabbed his rifle and stepped out. Looking around, he looked at Rook and Sophia. "Who needs to use the bathroom before we start? We aren't going to be taking breaks. Sophia, I want you up in the tower. Lock the trap door in case something is out here. Use the binoculars that are on my desk and look around. The radio on the desk is already set for the Hand held radio's and the other tower radios. Same frequency. My Tranq rifle and Bear mace are up there too if you need to use them to defend yourself."Sophia was about to give him an argument when he just simply stared at her. She didn't say another word. She went for the tower, going up the staircase and then up the ladder. Once the trap door was opened and closed behind her with no one in the tower with her, she would lock it from the Inside so no one could get to her. Simon went to the back of the ATV and pulled his mountain climbing bag and looked at Rook."So tell me, you have any experience in Mountain climbing or Rock face climbs?"Clipping the bag across his front and around his thighs, he had a smile on his face.

Mimi was still a little bit shaken, but she was a little better knowing that she hadn't accidentally killed Jack Logan. She looked up at Henry when he said he needed her head in the game and she nodded. She knew this wasn't about her or the fact that she was attacked. She was more just frightened during the attack at any rate. Logan hadn't actually put his hands on her. But still she knew she had to be strong to help find these girls. People in the park pulled together. Mimi was still scared. She wasn't much of a fighter and if she came across the dead she'd have nothing but a tranq gun to hold them off. Some help she'd be. She decided she could be much better help if she got her pistol from her tower.
Mimi: I'm fine Henry. I just need to get my gun in case we run into walkers and such.
Ail could see that Mimi wasn't doing good. She was trying to stay strong and help out, but she was a wreck. Ali decided to send Mimi to the tower.
Ali: Mimi, sweetie, go back to your tower. Keep an eye out from the watchtower, you can be our eye in the sky. We need someone from a high vantage point who can tell us which way to head next and maybe we'll get lucky and you'll spot something from up there huh? *Ali looked back at Henry, pulling him aside so Mimi wouldn't hear her* She looks pretty rough, i think she needs to sit this one out. Me Chance, Tommy and Lewis will help you guys search your grid then we can all split up after and check caves and abandoned look out towers ( Ned Henderson, unknown to everyone was using one of the towers to cook meth ) We'll ride with you honey.. You got any room for me on that horse?
Mimi headed back off to her tower, and Ali motioned for her team to come over and she explained to them that they were going to join with Henry's search party. Chance watched as Mimi left and he seemed worried. Ali put a hand on his shoulder.
Ali: She'll be ok Chance i sent her to rest. She has her radio you can keep in touch with her that way, but we need all eyes on the ground looking for these girls. *Chance nodded* Alright people lets head out!
Lincoln smiled as he watched one of mother's children take the severed heads and stuff them in a bag. The mouths had been duct taped for safety just in case. He knew that leaving the bodies here, eventually they'd be eaten by a bear or a mountain lion or some shit. Watching as his brother left with Mother's heads his smile faded as he made his way back into the park, pushing his way past thick shrubbery and brush. He wasn't happy about having to stay at the park. He wanted to be by Mother's side. He wanted to feel her loving warmth and he was tired of all this camping shit. Still he played his part, and when someone talked to him he smiled and polietly addressed them as a good member of any group would, trying to be helpful where he could, but inside his head he was loathing every second he was away from mother. Even being away from her a moment was hard for Link. She had her hooks deep into his soul and he loved it. He was heading back out into the clearing and stepped out from behind a tree when he saw Simon and some other guy standing by North Tower. Fuck! Thought they were busy. He didn't think they had noticed him. He slunk back into the treeline. He watched as some woman went up into North Tower and appeared to be getting left behind. Hm.... He thought. Mother was always on the lookout for new additions to the family, but he was under strict orders not to snatch anyone. He would be told when the time came for that. And he had his eyes set on Simon anyways.... Mother would like him indeed. Link thought about Simon and how he had seemed upset lately. Lonely even. Link didn't know that Simon had found a new woman in his life. He hadn't put two and two together that Simon and the girl now in his tower were a thing, but he knew that lonely hearts craved mother's love. He was sure Mother would love to meet Simon, but not yet. Link quietly watched from his hiding place. He would wait til they left and then he would get out of here. He didn't have time to check on the mysterious woman in the tower. That wasn't his concern right now. He had something else to do for Mother and he was being held up by these jackasses. He didn't want to be stopped and questioned. He didn't have time for that.
Link: Hurry the fuck up!
He impatentily mumbled waiting for the two jackasses to move it along so he could get back to his next schedualed stop. He had to make it over to the caves by South Tower. There was something in the caves there he needed to disopse of before someone from this search party found it. He had heard about the search party through his radio. He had snatched a spare radio not long after he got to the park. He would often listen to it when he spent his nights out in his camping tent where he slept alone. He didn't want to stay in the cabins and socialize. He wanted to be left alone with his thoughts of Mother so he would camp out in the designated camping area and so far he was the only one who perfered camping to the lavish cabins in the park. But he had heard girls were missing and they were forming search parties, it was only a matter of time before they found the mess he left in the caves by South Tower..... What the hell is taking them so long, the stupid bitch in the tower is fine move your asses! He thought.
Rook was pretty much along for the ride….and it was a bumpy one. He rode in the bed of the vehicle, hanging on whenever a rather hard bump was hit. Wouldn’t it be too fucking ironic if he died here instead of killed by the dead? But they made it and while Simon spoke with Sophia he stretched his legs a little, his pale blue eyes taking in the woods around them in the farfetched hope that he might see Olivia wandering back….Simon spoke to him and Rook turned to the man while shaking his head. “No, I don’t…..” He stared at Simon as he started strapping things on himself. “But I guess there’s no time like the present.”
Rook was a muscled guy……more sheer mass than slender and flexible. He didn’t expect that this venture was going to be fun in the least….but at least he wasn’t afraid of heights. He looked at the tower where Sophia had been sent, hoping that Ava was going to be sent somewhere like that…..He would lose his shit if they let something happen to her….
Pushing those thoughts from his mind Rook rolled his shoulders, feeling his scars burn. He had never been able to put his shirt on…but at least everyone was too distracted to pay much attention to his mutilated back. His pale eyes rolled back to Simon as he waited to see if the guy was going to teach him to be a spider monkey or if he was going to get to stay on the ground.
Sophia stood by arrow petting his soft white fur with her non-injured hand. Eventually, Simon came out and found her and silently led her to one of the cabins. He had her sit on the couch and he went to treating her wounds and now sprained hand. The icepack and touch stung for a moment causing her to flinch but she then relaxed. " I don't like having you treat me. If I get all your attention that's always a plus." She said and she moved to kiss him on the cheek. Eventually, they left the cabin to hear a long speech about search parties.
To her dismay, she got rook on the team with her and Simon. These people must've lost their minds putting them on the same team. She listened to Simon speak about putting everything behind them. With a nod and look to rook her expression was that of a temporary truce and understanding. Everything was moving pretty fast and the made it back to simons tower. Getting out of the vehicle she looked between rook and Simon. When he started speaking he basically ordered her to go in the tower and just wait and watch.
She was gonna object but the look Simon gave her made her mouth close real quick. An aggravated sigh escaped her lips and she headed up and into the tower. Locking the door behind her she grabbed the mace, rifle, and binoculars. Moving out onto the balcony her eyes went to searching for signs of her sister in the woods. After a moment she went to the Radio on the table.
Sophia:"Everyone please be careful out there. This is Sophia in the north tower. Over and out."
She spoke before she returned to her seat and went to searching for the missing part of her family. The guilt swarmed her because if she had been there with her. This would've never happened and they would all be sitting together. IT was her job to keep them safe and she had done so until now.

As he was finally ready with the gear on his back, he held his rifle in one hand as Rook explained that he didn't know how to climb. Nodding his head slowly as he Icy blue eyes looked him over. He was rubbing something at his shoulders. Shaking his head, Simon would tell him. "Ok, you will stay on the ground then. I'll climb up while you look around the ground or you stay at that spot and make sure no stumblers come up on me as I'm coming back down and undoing the rope for my gear. So if your no good with that pistol, then grab yourself a heavy branch and use them muscles." Walking down the trail, he would lead the way slowly towards West tower. Keeping an eye out for any signs of human life, he was only finding that animals were really restless in these parts. Stopping, he saw alot of the tracks were heading North East. Never a good sign. Standing up, he aimed his rifle and began to walk again. That's when he heard the growls and moans. Looking around a tree, he saw a walker was eating a deer. Shaking his head, he aimed his rifle and fired a single shot. The head of the walker splattered across a rock wall as the body fell to the ground. Dropping the lever and slamming it back up, it ejected the spent casing and made it flying across the way. Feeding another into the chamber, he dropped his bag to the ground as he undid each clip.
Pulling out his climbing gear, the only things he needed was his climbing gloves, his grip powder. Slipping the gloves on, he slung his rifle over his shoulders and looked up at it. "Now you get to see why they call me Rock Hound, Mr. Muscles." Dipping his hands into the powder bag, he ran up to it and jumped. Grabbing two pieces of small ledging, he planted his feet into some cracks or crevices. Making his way up the wall, Simon made it look like child's play as he reached for each ledge that pointed out, placed a foot in a crack, he was one with the stone. Once he reached the top, he scanned around to see nothing. Pulling his full body up, he let out a breath he was holding for a while. Looking around, the view from up top of here was beautiful. But he heard alot of noises coming from in front of him in the brush. Raising his rifle, he waited to see what was going to happen. If it was a walker or a wild boar, he would shoot it. IF it was a person, he was going to keep them at gun point and ask them what the hell they were doing here.
Shauna Kelly: That helped, thank you
