Empocalyse 26 Episode 12- Tank Friends

"It's creepy being out here. Especially with those things.." Mike sighs.

Ellis nods. "Yeah it is." He watches the fire.

They both jump when they hear a stick break.

Ellis looks worried at Mike.

Mike stares into the woods. He sees a deer. He takes a deep breath. "It's only a deer."

Ellis looks around. "Lets hope.." he calms down but still keeps a look out.

Mike pulls out some candy. "Want one?"

Ellis nods. "Is that the only thing you have in there?" He takes the candy bar.

"Yeah. I guess I didn't take anything else." Mike sighs. "Idiot."

Ellis laughs. "Don't worry." He grabs his bag. He pulls out some chips.

Mike's eye's widen. "You had this the whole time!?"

Ellis nods smiling. "Yeah. I wanted to save it when we needed it."

Mike grabs it. "Well we DO need it now!" He opens them. "Ahh!" He takes a long inhale.

Ellis laughs.

*In the tank*

"So who is this person you want to get to so badly?" Vanessa asks as she sharpens her knife.

John drives. Not taking his eye's off the road but still listening.

Rosie groans. "Someone that took my life away from me." She leans against the wall of the tank.

Vanessa nods. "I understand that." She clicks her knife closed. "I have a few people that I wouldn't mind going at." She laughs.

Rosie stares at her. She turns to look at John.

*In the woods, morning now*

Finn walks alone. Thinking. "Why'd you leave!?" He stops. Groaning he kicks a tree.

Voices are heard nearby.

Finn ducks behind a tree. He looks around. He spots two people talking while they walk. "Ellis? Mike?"

Mike chews on some gum.

"Do you really have to chew so loud?" Ellis complains.

Mike nods. "It's helps me not focus on my empty stomach." He chews more.

Ellis growls.

Finn watches from afar. He sighs. "I shouldn't join them.." He turns to walk the other way but freezes. "s.h.i.t!" He turns back around. He walks towards them.

Mike stops as he sees Finn. "Hey?" He looks confused.

Ellis stops and turns to see Mike looking dumb. "What?"

Mike points to Finn without taking his eye's off him.

Ellis looks where Finn was coming from. He groans. "Great. Just what we need."

Finn waves at them. "Hey."

"Where's the others?" Mike asks.

"I left. I don't really know anything else." Finn sighs.

Mike nods. "So you came to join us?"

Finn nods. "If that's okay?" He looks at Ellis.

Ellis rolls his eyes. "Don't be slow." He turns around walking away.

Mike smiles at him. "Candy?" He holds out some candy.

Finn takes some. "Thanks."

*With the group*

Jackie stands in the front with her gun. Carrie stood in the back with Kizzy while the rest were in the middle.

Kizzy looks at Carrie. "Everything okay up there?"

Carrie smiles while nodding. "Yeah."

Kizzy notices Carrie's hand clutching onto the katana handle. She looks at her worried. "Right." She looks forward. She notices Jackie looking back at them.

Jackie turns around.

Kizzy raises a brow. "I'll be right back." She walks through the group until she is standing next to Jackie.

"Somethings off with her" Jackie whispers.

Kizzy nods. "I think everything got to her." She looks back at Carrie.

Carrie looks off to the side. Staring at the trees intensely.

"I know everyone is not in the right head s.p.a.ce but..." Kizzy sighs. "I think she is trying to hold it all in."

Jackie nods. "She is. It's not good. I did that before I met Miley. I always wanted people to pay for what happened to me. I thought every human was the same deep down. Just some can hide it better than others." She looks back at Miley. She smiles. "But Miley made me see that not all humans are the same."

Miley makes funny faces at the laughing baby.

Kizzy smiles. "You really love her huh?"

"Yeah. I do" Jackie goes back to being serouis. "But you need to make Carrie understand that she isn't alone in this mess."

Kizzy stops walking. Nodding she waits till she is next to Carrie again.

"Done talking to her?" Carrie looks at her.

Kizzy nods. "Just wanted to ask her some things."

"You should be careful. If she finds out. She'll kill you" Carrie looks at her worried.

Kizzy laughs. "I know." She looks at her. "Carrie?"

Carrie stares at the ground, walking. "I'm fine. I'm not the one you should be worrying about. There are others here that have went through a lot more than me."

"Still" Kizzy stares at her.

Carrie smiles at her. "Just worry about yourself. Okay?"

"Okay.." Kizzy sighs.

"Stop!" Jackie stops walking, her arm out for them all to halt.

Everyone stops.

Jackie stares ahead. "Somethings coming.."

*In the tank*

Vanessa sleeps in the back.

John continues to drive as Rosie stares at him.

"You look just like her." She laughs.

He nods. "She does.."He sees her out of the corner of his eye. "You look like someone as well.."

She smiles. "I do...I...I was modeled after someone.." 'Carrie..' She growls.

"Modeled?" John answers confused.

She nods. "I am real." She sets her head back against the cold tank wall. "Though I was changed a little for my builders liking."

John swallows. "Who was your builder?"

"You ask a lot of questions, old man." She looks at him.

He tightens his hands. "Just curious." He fake chuckles.

The tank radar starts to go off.

"What is that?" Rosie asks standing.

John looks down at it. It showed a few people on it. "I seems that a few people are nearby."

Rosie stared at it too. "Hmm."

John slowed down.

"What are you doing?" Rosie looked at him.

"I'm making sure they don't hear us." He starts to press b.u.t.tons.

"Kind of hard to not see a giant tank." She climbs up the latter. She opens the hatch. "I see no one!" She yells down at John.

John stops the tank. He stands still looking at the radar. "They are! The radar says so."

Rosie stands on the tank looking around. "Where are you?" She scans the area again.

"When?" Kizzy whispers to Jackie.

Jackie, Kizzy and Carrie all stood behind some bushes a little away from the tank. While Miley, Carley and the little ones stayed a little further away.

Jackie stares at Rosie. "Not at the moment. This one looks different."

Kizzy and Carrie stare as well.

"You know..she kind of looks like Carrie." Kizzy whispers.

Carrie shrugs. "Maybe a little. But she has different hair color than me."

Rosie groans. "What area does it say that they are?"

John looks at it again. "On the left!" He grabs some guns.

Vanessa wakes up. "What's with all the yelling?!" She sits up, rubbing her eyes.

"Here." John hands her a pistol.

"Are we fighting?!" She jumps up.

He shrugs. "Maybe."

"Okay." She looks up the latter.

"She's looking for them." John says as he loads up two guns.

Rosie jumps off the tank. She walks near where the bushes are. "Come out where ever you are!" She yells. She puts her hand on her throwing knives.

Jackie nods to Kizzy and Carrie, who were closer to Rosie. "NOW!" Jackie jumps out. Her gun pointing to Rosie.

Rosie goes to throw her knife but Carrie has her katana blade against her skin while Kizzy has her gun also pointing to her.

"Move your hand away." Jackie demands.

Rosie stares at Carrie. "Sure.." She moves her hand away. She smiles at Carrie.

Carrie stares at her. Her blade still against her neck.

"W-what do you want?" Kizzy yells at her.

Rosie puts her hands up. "We were just pa.s.sing through."

"We?" Carrie raises a brow.

Vanessa pecks her head out. "They have her.." She whispers to John.

He nods. "How many?"

She counts. "Looks like three."

"That's fine. We can take them." He c.o.c.ks his gun.

She laughs. "Show off."

"Yeah. I have two other people in the tank. And if you hurt me they'll kill all of us with one b.u.t.ton." Rosie answers, still staring at Carrie. She studies her.

Jackie walks up to her. She rips off the belt with the knives. "Hands behind your back."

"There." Rosie does as she is told.

Kizzy puts her gun down and takes some rope and goes to tie her hands when Rosie kicks her from behind. She hits the ground.

"KIZZY!" Carrie yells.

Rosie kicks her too.

Carrie falls back, letting go of her sword. "s.h.i.t!" She yells.

Jackie shots at Rosie but she ducks.

Rosie runs at her until she as her against a tree. She has a knife to Jackie's throat.

Jackie groans.

"Too slow old lady" Rosie laughs.

John and Vanessa run up with their guns pointed at them.

"d.a.m.n. Guess you didn't need help." Vanessa laughs as she kicks Kizzy who was pa.s.sed out. She looks at John. "Dad?"

John doesn't respond. Instead he stares into Carrie's eyes.

Vanessa notices. "You know her?"

"He does.." Carrie stands. Looking angry at him. "Miss me?"
