Most of the trains aren’t running right now, that doesn’t mean using the tracks isn’t an easy and straight forwards manner to cut through thick areas of Raccoon City. The Central Station probably isn’t the most ideal place to be though, considering how many people were here at the time of the outbreak.

[Emily, Louis and NPCs Enter R.C. Central Station]
As the small group of survivors entered the station, Emily couldn't help but notice all the crashed trains and the bodies lying around. This wasn't good. No not good at all. There were some small fires and debris littering the area, making things even more difficult.
"Well this was a great idea," Rick grumbled with a twang of sarcasm. Emily looked around cautiously. "It'd be a good idea to choose a track that leadsstraight to beneath the overpass and stick with it until we're there. So which is it?" she asked, looking back at Louis and Rey.

Louis jumped down onto the tracks, and then looked up the line north. The sun was full in the sky now, mustve been just going on 1pm now. The first portion of the tracks were all mazed with debris, which made getting by tricky. But, so long as the followed the tracks north, they would all lead to the same place. Outside of the city. "Well, I think we should take the right side... If it doesnt work out, we can easily transfer back over to the left. Breaking off into two groups works too, but..."
Rey watched as Louis paused, splitting the group wouldnt be the best idea, but they might be able to cover more ground that way. If they they stayed together, it would be easier for those undead to sense them. But while thinned out, they could move faster. Rey thought about how the grounds would be split if they did happen to choose. "...Looking at it from an ammunition point of view, Louis... It would make sense to have Rick and I take one route, while you and Emily too the other. Just saying..."

Emily looked over at Rey and thought about her idea. It probably would be a better idea to cover more ground, but she couldn't just leave the responsibility of her to Rick. He did have a daughter to think about. Rick looked over at Emily and smiled, grasping her shoulder and looking down at the woman.
"I'll go on ahead with Rey. Julie and I'll be alright. That kid needs some kind of adult supervision anyway."
Emily frowned a little before looking over at Louis. "Well, it's your call now. Joey did say to protect Rey. So keep that in mind."

Louis watched as the others went off down the right set of tracks. This was the right thing to do, he was sure that Rey would be safe with Rick. Not that he placed her life in his hands, but he knew that his shotgun would stop anything that got in their way. This was good for Rey to get away from Louis, aswell. Its what she wanted, and Joey would understand. After it was just Emily and him, Louis spoke out. "Well... Joey wanted to make sure she was safe, shell be safer with him then me, lets leave it at that... Now come on, its gonna be a hell of a walk down here..."
Louis took out his .45, but left the flashlight switched off. There was no need of having two of them out, it would just burn twice as much batteries. If they needed two lights, he had an idea. However, there was one more magazine in his coat, he silently inserted it, aswell as apply the laser. As the two of them walked along the tracks, the debris was getting thicker. But after they left the platform area, there was no going around it. They began to climb over the wrecked peices, but it got more and more narrow the further they moved.
After climbing over a large peice of steel behind Emily, Louis landing using his left hand as support, in turn forcing weight onto the wound he was keeping a secret. He tried to reframe from making any noise, but his mind beat him to it. "Urgh... Sh*t..." As he brought his hand back up, blood was dripping down his wrist. Louis contenued forward, keeping his mind off the pain, flexing his hand tightly to stop the flow of blood and cover up the fact that he was bleeding. The last thing he wanted was to slow anyone down.

Emily dropped down from the pile of debris they had previously climbed over. Landing on her knee, she placed her hands flatly against the ground, to keep from pushing over. Standing to her feet, she dusted herself off and reached overto grab the strap over her shoulder. To her suprise,it wasn't there.
"Hm?" she muttered, realizing the rifle was missing. "Dammit,where...?" she trailed off,turning around and looking back up. There it hung, the strap attatched to a piece of scrap metal sticking out. High up..
"Ugh, how the hell am I gonna get it now? I can't climb back up..." she said, angered.

Louis turned around when he heard Emily land to make sure it was smooth, and was thankful she hand landed better then he did. But he watched her looking back up, as Louis scanned curiously. Seeing what she was looking at, the rifle hung a little more more then a meter from her reach. He walked back over to her, and then looked up. "Dont think big joe would be too happy if we left it... Here, ill give you a boost..."
Louis crouched down backwards infront of the wreck of metal, pressing his hands firmly down on the ground. It wouldve been good if he had a pair of gloves from here on, or at least something to hold the wound together. The old cloth was torn away, less strain would be a good idea, too. Little late now.

Emily took her eyes off the rifle and glanced down at Louis. "Alright," she murmured, carefully climbing on his back, one hand leaning against the wreck and the other arm extended upward. Her fingers barely brushed the handle. "Nngh...almost..." she grumbled, getting on the tips of her toes.
Finally, she was able to grab ahold of it, pulling and pushing until finally the strap unhooked itself from the debris. Jumping off and landing on both feet with a thud, she placed the rifle back on her shoulder and put her hand out to Louis to help him up.
"Thanks for the boost, lemme help you up."

Louis kept his head down, and his mind focused on holding his hands steady for just a little while longer. After Emily had jumped down, he brought his hand up, and flexed it tightly. Grinning toward her, he got up from on knee, and was assisted by her to his feet. Keeping attention away from his hand, he looked at her, and then spoke. "T-thanks... We should k-keep moving..."
Louis barely even noticed he studdered, but tried to make it look fluent as he kept moving forward, the gun fitting inside his palms. He moved down the tracks, keeping his attention on the debris, trying to find the easiest routes around or over them.

Emily raised an eyebrow as Louis spoke. She stood silently for a moment, watching him walk ahead, wondering why we was stammering. Suddenly, she notices something warm and wet on her hand. Looking down at it, she noticed blood smeared across her palm and fingers.
Clenching that hand into a fist, she looked back over at Louis. "Wonder where he got that from..." she said lowly, walking after him.
As she jogged ahead to catch up, she suddenly halted, turning around to see a lean, rotting, body of a dog squeezing through an opening in the debris. Once it came through, it growled visciously at her as two more began pushing through.
"s***."

Louis looked up at Emily, he knew by the look on her face that she wasnt too thrilled about his wound. But it couldnt be avoided now, he would have to come clean eventually, and now was as good a time as ever. But before he could speak, he heard the growls behind them. Whipping his .45 around, Louis aimed as steady as he could, peering down the sights. "Go, now!" He strafed backwards, firing rounds toward the dogs, hitting one of them in the side as it stumbled onto the ground. One of them jumped toward him, but Emily picked it off three before it hit the ground dead.
Flinching his eyes away from the shot, he focused again, and unloaded two more rounds into the moving dog, but two more appeared behind. Lowering the gun, Louis turned and ran as fast as he could up a pile of debris, and then crouched for a better aim. Emily took of a few more shots, slowing the group down, as Louis finished them off with another three bullets. Looking at the debris where they were coming from, he noticed the gap, anything can get through now. Reaching inside his coat, he pulled out the can of lighter fluid, and tossed it across the tracks. With the shot of his gun, he hit it, igniting flames acorss the area, as the rest of the dogs backed away from the flames.
Louis turned to Emily, seeing they had more time now, and then vaulted himself down over the debris. Whatever was left would burn, they wouldnt make it this far without turning into ashes. Holstering his gun, Louis breathed heavily, and searched his coat for a roll of bandages. But he was all out, just great, now hed have no choice but to rely on someone besides himself. This made him uneasy, the fact that he couldnt handle it alone. Gripping his hand, he still tried to keep the attention on the tracks, but knew she would stop him now.

Emily grabbed ahold of Louis' shoulder and kept him from walking further. "Hey, wait a second," she told him. She reached into her first aid kit strapped to her pack, shuffling through it and pulling out some bandages.
"Here," she said handing him the bandages. "It's all I've got left, so make it last."

"Hmm... Appriciate it..." Grabbing the bandages with his other hand, Louis nodded to Emily, and then kept moving. While he did, he wrapped the bandage around his hand, making sure it was as tight as possible. This should fix it up perfectly, all he had before was clothing, and it didnt work very well. Expecially with all the action hes used to, and working with his hands, its gotta heal someway or another.
Louis was surprised, however, that Emily hadnt ask him about the wound. Did she already know? If so, how did she? He pressed onward, not stopping at all anymore. If they were going to meet up with the other ground down the tracks, they would have to make their steps quick now.

Emily pulled her handgun from under her arm holster out. She checked the clip and grinned, thankful she still had some goodamount of Ammo thanks to her run in with Joey and Rey. She reached into her other pack and pulled out two clips, handing them to Louis.
"Here, I have a nice supply going for me thanks to your friends," she told him. Before he responded, she looked around again and then sighed. "Don't mention it," she finished.
Times were tough and though she was grateful to have people still alive and around, she couldn't help but feel regret for getting too close to these people.
If something happened to them under her watch, she'd never be able to live with it. Rick and his young daughter were out and about somewhere where she couldn't see him or her. Rey,whom was suppose to be heavily guarded was gone away with them. Louis was already wounded. It felt like pressure on her was building up.
"It looks like everything's all clear so far," she said, pointing her flashlight around at their surroundings.

Louis felt like refusing the offer, but it wouldnt be polite. Taking the magazines, he placed the in the spare section of his coat. He was about to thank her, but Emily spoke first. He gave a little grin once she turned away, and contenued on. It wasnt like these magazines would be much use for his .45 but, Rey was in need of ammo. Even if he could take the rounds out, ammunition was needed. But more importantly, what goes around comes around, and this put a favor in the air for another time.
Louis looked around, it was surprisingly quiet, no infected around. Further ahead, however, there was a train on the tracks, and the other side split off with a tunnel. But on top of that, the place was just big enough for the train only, they would have to go through it to reach the other side. He couldnt see where the front car was, as it bent off around a corner. Being as they were at the back, this meant getting by was going to be easier said then done. Moving forward behind Emily, Louis spoke out with a slightly obvious tone. "Looks like were gonna have to get inside that train, and make our way through it... You lead? Or should I?"
