Mike shouted from the door way of the room he had entered looking at a fire truck "Family... always family. Not just by blood either. My unit in the forces. Special bond you form" Michael searched the side of the truck and looked at the gauges. Water, gas and more were pretty full. He thought to himself "Wonder if this thing still runs..."

Roman nodded, taking them off his head and holding them out to her. They were grey and had the Beats by Dre logo on both sides of the earphone.
"Yeah they work fine, just got to find something to plug them into. Maybe an old walkman or a radio aux cord would do the trick. That and finding some music to play, that's the real hunt."
He saw Michael and Albert come back and took a sigh and relaxed on the floor, closing his eyes like he was gonna take a small nap. It's been a long day already.

Coming back down from her and Albert's search of the upstairs, Stephanie sat down and rested, trying - and failing - to clear her mind. Seeing Roman, she got up and walked over to where he and Tory were at, sitting down near them. "How ya' holding up, Roman?" she asked; it sounded dumb as hell to ask, given Roman had been shot earlier, but she also knew that if they Roman talking and awake, the better things would be for him.
The dorms were empty. Just beds and a few turned over sheets. Everyone had left there in a hurry. Grabbing a towel he found on the ground Al wiped the remaining gore from his new axe before following Steph back downstairs. "If we want to put him someplace a bit nicer then the floor, there's more then enough beds upstairs. They ain't much to brag about, but it's better then the floor." He offered to Roman before looking at Mike. "So, what's next Mike? This place is pretty easily defensible I think and we could last a little while here."

Mike had stopped looking at the truck. He was scratching the side of his head and looking around "Well Roman needs to stay still for a while. But we still have to talk through some issues... Doesnt sit well with me to leave Kevin to these people..." Mike holstered his gun "He would come after any of us the other way around."
Mike went back to the chair he had and took a seat.

Roman nodded to Michael thinking about Kevin and trying to rescue him. He didn't care if he had a shot leg, he can't leave anyone behind. That's a pain worse than getting shot, losing someone you could have saved.
"You right, bum leg or not I want to save him too. They haven't taken the fight out of me yet."

Listening to both Michael and Roman's words reminded Stephanie of who they'd lost. "They're right," she said to Tory, who was nearby. "We can't leave this island without Kevin; whatever we do, we can't leave without him." Nudging Tory, she added, "C'mon, let's get Roman upstairs and get him some rest; there's plenty of cots up there for him to rest on." She knew they couldn't just sit around and do nothing, so she figured they might as well begin making some semblance of a place out of the fire station.

"Ya, I don't want to leave without Kevin either, or Michelle," Tory said as she stood up to help Steph with Roman,giving him a caring look. "but perhaps you should lay off the fighting until your leg is better." Helping him up the stairs was difficult and slow with Roman's height, but Tory managed, giving Steph most of the weight.
After they situated Roman in a cot, Tory took a seat and leaned back on a neighboring one. "For how long do you think we're safe here?"

Michael nodded at the idea of raising Roman upstairs. Once they returned he shrugged "We will be safe for a while here. Building is secure and we brought supplies from my place... Matter of fact Im just thinking up a plan based on my knowledge of the city. A few power groups... must be a few distractions for us to use. BUT if we save Kevin. We have to leave this Island."
He offered some food to Tory "I think the fire truck could come in handy for our escape. Big vehicle through any obstacles... But I need to think a while. For now we rest and recover. That was intense today."

After making sure Roman would be alright, Stephanie leaned down and whispered to him, "Catch up on your rest, alright? You need anything...just holler, okay?" making sure he was comfortable before heading downstairs with Tory to re-join the others. Sitting down in one of the chairs downstairs, she leaned forward and listened to Michael talk about the fire engine...which reminded her about the firegear she'd found earlier. "So we have a fire engine down here...and we've got fire-fighting gear upstairs," she mused. "There's an idea floating in my mind at the moment...unfortunately, I'll be darned if I can figure out what to do with them," she added.
Looking around, she nodded at Michael's suggestion that they rest and recover first. "There's plenty of cots upstairs if anyone wants to rest up there for a bit. Who wants to take first watch, though?"
"I'll do it." Al said, finishing wiping down his axe and tossing the rag he'd been using aside. "The two of you have been under more stress then the rest of us, it'll be good for you to get some sleep. Avoiding walkers is rough enough but what you two did today, leading us here and going into the line of fire, that's just adding to it all. That much stress can be unhealthy, even if you think you can handle it. Go get some sleep, I'll come tag out in a few hours." He started to walk to a small side office, stopping to look back at the two. "Go on, you've earned and could use it."

"Thanks," Tory took the food Mike offered and ate slowly, sitting on the floor, she really wasn't that hungry after all they had been through earlier in the day but she knew she should eat. "Is there a sink here for dishes?" She didn't want to leave anything for the others to have to pick up after her.
When she was ready, Tory wished everyone goodnight and ascended the stairs. Finding a blanket and kicking off her shoes she curled up on a cot and closed her eyes.

Listening to Albert, Stephanie was reminded of how drained she felt; after everything that'd happened, it was a wonder she hadn't collapsed from sheer exhaustion. Getting up from her chair, she looked at the others and said, "I'm gonna' head up and try to get some shuteye." Without waiting for any replies, she bounded up the stairs and down the hall; walking into the station's dormitory, she smiled at the sight of a fast-asleep Tory, thinking, Oh, to be a kid again.
After checking on Roman to see how he was faring along, Stephanie sat down on one of the cots, took off her thin jacket and laid back on the cot, using the jacket as a makeshift cover and falling fast asleep herself, the day's events rapidly receding like some distant nightmare.
