(( you know what's up Danielle. Let's do this. ))
The silence blanketed the slums in an unnatural fashion. It seemed to seep under your skin, that quiet. There was no reason for things to be so quite, but it was. A man broke this silence as he walked through the slums. His heavy boots making a light thudding noise. Behind him followed a young woman. The pair wore heavy protective clothing and the man had a gasmask hanging round his neck.
The man looked tired but moved with a swift speed, unusual for his stocky frame. The woman followed behind, going nearly as fast, but she seemed to busy looking around. the sound of boots and clattering junk were the only things to break the silence, but for the pair they knew it was an alarm to everything around them. Crazies creeped all over the slums of the lower city.
A loud crash sounded from up the path. causing the man and the woman to dip into the closest alleyway. A scream followed. The noise echoed off the walls causing the pair to flinch further into their shelter. "Ide," The man whispered harshly,"get ready to run and stay behind me."
The young woman nodded and gripped a crowbar close to her chest. A second scream followed the first along with the clatter of debris. There was a muffled cry, a loud crack and a harsh wailing. The man poked his head out from the alleyway to see two figures standing over a third. The fallen figure was clutching their arm and wailing in pain as the two figures bent down. The first one went to grab the figure, but the second growled and slammed their deformed fist into the other's face. Harsh yelling and screaming followed at the two fought like starved lions over the figure sobbing on the ground.
The man in the alleyway made a motion and the pair bolted. Their sprint was unheard by the pair fighting over the crying individual who was currently trying to crawl away. As quietly as they could, the pair reached an opening in the wall of a great crumbling building. The dipped in and continued to walk. They needed to get to market. Sadly the slums was the only way in if one was coming from uptown.
(( dude dude, Lester can be one of PG's weird subway friends.
