Some days in the life of Leah Ross are better than others, but they're all boring. Somedays she just explores thoroughly every place she hasn't tried yet, others it's more desperate ( Read more... )

"Well, well," a slurred (but familiar) voice calls in tauntingly broken English. "Been looking for you."

Considering just how unsteady he sounds he must not have been looking all that hard.

Leah has the gun she took from him tucked into her belt, but she doesn't go for it. She doesn't even ready her cane for polefighting. Instead she brings it close and upright, treating it much more like a blind person's cane than what it actually is.

Moving her head slightly, she picks up no other movement. And given how unsteady he founds, he sounds less like a threat and more like someone she should protect.

"[Where are your friends?]" she asks, foregoing the pretence at not being able to speak Spanish.

There's a long unsteady pause.

"[Around.]" That's so obviously a lie that it's not clear why he'd even bother.

Leah nods, wondering if that means they lost contact or he's watched them die.

"[How are you?]"

It's a genuine question, not a concerned one.

Here's the thing about the Winchesters: when you have a goal to work toward but that goal doesn't have a perceivable end at the moment, it's all right to get a little sidetracked so long as it falls under "hunt things" and "save people."

With that said, after getting his car and fixing it up, the first thing Sam did was fill the trunk with as many real and makeshift weapons as he could.

And with that said, after he catches sight of the building and the crowds of zombies, he parks his car safely around the corner and comes back.

Leah's first clue will be the soft hiss of gas and the FWOOM! of a makeshift flamethrower.

Also, screaming zombies.

That's clue enough.

The door downstairs appears to have held so far - though it sounds like it might give in seconds - but Leah still has a way to go on getting her radio two way transmitting. The gas, flamethrower and screaming, that gets her attention.

She scrambles up to her feet and makes her way to the window in a few confident steps, throwing it open, and screaming angrily into the air.

The zombies below her resume their surging her way.

"Oh, man."

Not that he hadn't guessed there was someone inside from the surging zombies, but now it's a screaming somebody. Sam groans, worried, and grabs a few more gas cans from the trunk to tuck into his belt.

It's slow going, getting toward the house, and full of screaming remains of people that he has to dodge (how do you even become a zombie? have they ever even run into real zombies before?).

"HEY! HEY, I'M COMING, IT'LL BE OKAY!"

Having caught her breath from the first initial scream, Leah points a hand down and around, towards the front of the shop. She's not facing Sam, of course, having no idea where he is, but her sense of direction is such that she can approximate the direction of the door.

"AROUND THE FRONT!" She yells out. "GROUND FLOOR!"

She'll meet him there, she hopes. But first she needs to pull away from the window and find her project.
