Kyle felt like he got through to her. Kyle thought he saw sympathy or at the very least understanding for his orphaning. "Nope, not me. Haven't had a home since my parents died in '08. One B.O.W. and a whole lot of love killed the two. Drifted ever since then." He didn't usually open up like this to others, which surprised him enough to cover up his feelings with his usual loud mouthedness he usually had. "Like the rest of the f**king human population, right?"
Kyle didn't have a clue where he was heading, he just knew that he liked to keep moving. "Nowhere specifically. I tend to keep moving. it makes it easier when I am forced to leave. No real connection to a place, so I can't miss it." Then he realized how close he was to his home. His real home.

She looked very long but lisent to kyle as well. "We didn't do this. Umbrella is to blame." The company had f**kered her life bad enough as it was. she looked at him. " They f--ked my life up, and now the Goverment is just making this country look bad as it is." She looked back at the snacks again. "I'm just here visiting...you're more welcome to tag along"
Marissa just took a twicks candy bar and walked over to the counter. the man had asked the clerk for a cell phone. "This is a no cell phone area, in case you didn't know." she told the man. placing her things at the counter as they guy was ringing her things up. "A pack of Newport 100s too, please" she turn to the man. "Military had stricked that ever one uses a pay phone or a house phone, because of there jaming systems. and if you do, they listen into your conversations." she looked at the payment she had to make and she used her credit card. to pay for it all. "Sorry, but thats how goverment is at these times." she turned around and grabbed her things.

Cronus sighed as he thought for a second on where to start his search when a woman spoke out to him, "This is a no cell phone area, in case you didn't know." His brow quirked a bit as he glanced over to her before shaking his head in disapproval. " I see thanks for the heads up.....At any rate know where I could get a hold of a new car....The one I was using is..Well....Out of order." Although he was middle aged, Cronus well Chris still held his youth to him due to training and staying fit. But, his personality spoke different. At times he would seem rash and straight forward other times calm and passive which was one of those times.
He slowly went to the end caps of the aisles grabbing a few bags of chips and a bottle of water before he noticed the woman asking for a pack of cigarettes, his mind flashed back to his time in Raccoon City during the first outbreak where he ended his habit of smoking. A small chuckle emitted from him as he shook his head, "Hehe.....Took an outbreak of the undead to stop me from smoking."

"Well the thing is, I was too young to realize who to blame. My parents never said and so I just assumed it just happened. now that I am old enough, it is to late to hate someone or something for the outbreak. Now my hatred is toward whoever boarded those planes, and the f**king B.O.W. that killed my father." Kyle said.
The man in the combat gear, looking just as odd as Marissa, rang out about how he had quit smoking. Marissa had just bought a pack of cigarettes, while Kyle smirked to himself about his luck.
"I started because an outbreak ended." he said, turning to the new guy, "I didn't catch your name..."

"Sorry, sir. Its been years since i came down here." she stood at the door way and just ended up with solializing.Marissa shrugged with a uneasy chuckle. "We all die one day, i'm just getting busy dying." she said to the old fit man. It was a bad joke the Kevin had always said when they ran equipment up and back to bases and forts when they were in the marines. "I always was a smoker. started at 16"

Cronus turned his head to the younger man that seemed to be acquainted with the woman he just met. His brow quirked once more as he paid for his small bit of food he had grabbed, "My name.....It's Chris. I'm searching for some lost friends of mine I received word that they might be in this area....Hmm.....You actually kinda resemble one of them if he was a bit older." His head slowly shook as he thought for a moment before turning back to the clerk. "I'm going to need a map as well.....Hell a guide if your offering one....." He knew his presence in the area was making other uneasy so he figured the sooner he left the better.

"Younger?" he questioned, "I feel bad for the parents who had to run from the damned ghouls while carrying that poor bastard. You said you got word of your friend that he was out here? Where were you at, cause if it is more than a day travel to get here he may be gone. That is if he doesn't like staying in one place."
He turned to Marissa and asked "So where are you going? Cause wherever that is, that's where I will head unless you kick me out early."

She looked back at Kyle. "Well you not getting on my bad side yet, so its fine with me if you stick around...I'm going to my Brothers place. He has a villa on this strip about 8 miles down the street." she turn to the old man. "As for you, sir, i go have a map that i won't be needing. damn, you can have them all. I have myself a GPS that i gotten awhile awhile go from one of my neighbors in the mountains. "
she walked outside to her jeep and sat in the seat. Marissa's jeep was really decent with a digital terrain paint job that she got from the students from Raccoons trade schools and getting in and out was easy since they had no doors on them., she went through the glove compartment and pulled out a map of Vegas. and handed it to the elder. "this is dated back in the 90s but it should still help."

Cronus followed the two outside to the jeep as as he eyed the vehicle for a moment studying it's design and structure. If he had to guess from just looking at the vehicle she was doing some type of military work. Not to mention she looked like the type to be in that field. "Hmm......Tell me. Who do you work for? It's not every day I meet someone that seems to be well reserved and laid back about anything but, seems to have a goal in mind. I can tell the difference between you two." He tilted his head as if pointing to Kyle as he looked to him before responding quickly, "No offense.....Just saying." Cronus didn't really hold himself to certain standards and procedures like other B.S.A.A members, mainly due to the fact he just joined but, his main goal was finding his friends and ending the outbreak second.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" he said as he opened his bag and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up. He continued to watch the other two talk about working for people and thinking "Who the f**k needs money? Ghouls don't need it and you can survive without it. Who the f**k needs it then?" he put the pack of cigarettes in his pocket so he wouldn't have to go into his bag.
He turns to Marissa and asks "Wait, what's a villa?"

Marissa turn looked at the old man. "I was a marine...once. still act like on at times." then at Kyle who had asked what a villa was. he was clear that kyle wasn't familiar with Vegas, nor was Chris, but kyle asking what a villa was was actually pretty clear. "Its more like a nice well clean, all marbled house, very spacious too."

Chris thought for a second before nodding his head in approval to what he was just told and waited for a few moments before speaking again. "I see......Hmm....Mind if I tag along? Your have mobile means and I have clearance to areas that most can't get to so its a win win right?" A small shrug of his shoulders would show that he meant what he said and wasn't really looking for no as a response. "Besides.....If what Kyle said is true my friends most likely would have moved on from this area and could be anywhere. At least if I travel with you two I have a better chance of spotting them..." His facial features frowned up a bit as he turned his head off into the distance as he thought about what Kyle said. Jeremy wasn't your average kid, he was smart and his parents....Hell Cronus and Fluffy were pretty much like his guardians but, he was well capable of caring for himself. They all were but, the fact they had each other made them that much more capable of completing any task placed infront of them. It would seem as if Chris had gone off into lala land as he stood there staring out into space before coming to again shaking his head to clear his thoughts.

Marissa sighed. but she was also curious about Chris. Check points and and such these days were usually restricted, but how much of a trouble was it when one can only drive the road without going into a restricted place? and she just offered him a map, the old man couldn't be more then 30 some, like her. she shrugged with a smirk. "I have to make room for you in the back seat then, I have like, ten jerry cans in the front."

Chris nodded his head as he walked over to the back of the jeep. "Here let me help out least I could do. So Kyle.....Your a drifter too I hear?" His mind began to drift for a moment as he realized he too had never settled down since the first outbreak. Things were rather rough for him having to bounce around so much.

"Ever since the end of the first god damned outbreak. The world goes to hell and no one helps those who survived. I got not just the s*** end of the stick by surviving but a stick covered in s***." he answered. He took a drag of his cigarette as he pointed to Chris then the front seat. Kyle climbed into the back, leaned back and put his feet up on the other side of the jeep. He then turned his attention to Marissa, "What's your story? You are obviously not just another chick."
