Terry narrowed his eyes at the back of the boy's head hoping he was telling the truth otherwise his next move might prove to be a deadly one. He turned to August and shrugged before addressing Hawley again, "All right. Leave your weapon where it is. If you go to pick it up I'll shoot." Ter...

Terry held his breath as the boy held up his gun and disappeared behind the house. He was still holding it when he appeared in the front again a moment later. Maybe he's not playing? But what are the odds that he's not playing? It's not like he has a box cutter or a bat he's got a gun. Jesus, I thou...

Terry had still been keeping watch out the window and suddenly he saw someone with a halo of red hair moving towards the house. He turned towards August and put on finger his lip indicating for her to keep quiet and silently mouthed the word Hawley to her. Should we run or should I try to psyche him...

"Good," he said, "and that way if one of us in injured, the woods are pretty close to the clinic aren't they?" He glanced back at his map and nodded to himself.

((ooc: *Thumbs up* Sounds good to me.))

He nodded at her wordlessly and turned to stare back out the window. "So gorgeous what's our plan of escape if/when we're attacked?" he asked changing the subject after a moment of silence. "There's only the one door, but there are the windows in the back. And I'd say if we get split ...

He looked back over at her, slightly surprised by her statement. "My mom too," he said adding on, "I doubt she'll even notice I'm gone. But who knows, maybe your parents are watching right now hoping you get home all right." "Either way, I know I'm never going back to my mom...

He smiled back at her. "Good," he said leaning back into his chair. It really didn't make much a difference. If she was going to kill him, she was going to kill him but it made him feel better nevertheless. "I wonder where these cameras are?" he mused aloud looking around the sma...

"Yeah whoever they were," he said indicating the black spot with his foot, "probably raided most of the stuff already. But pasta's not too bad, peaches either." He glanced over at her. He had to try to banish his reservations for good. "August," he began. "Listen I...

"No, not at all, you're not a hostage," he said with a smile. "I did have a go at it before you came though and I didn't find much but maybe you will have better luck," he said watching her head towards the cupboards. He kept watch out the window but his gaze did subconsciously f...

His anger deflated completely and he stopped brooding and glanced back over at her. "Oh," he said flatly adding on lamely, "I'm sorry about your sister." He rubbed his shoe against the floor uncomfortably tracing patterns in the dust. He couldn't let his anger get away with him a...

Terry couldn't help but feel angry at her comment. "That’s why I hate it when people mistake me for some stupid, spoiled, rich brat, that's never felt the pain of life! But I have… I have." He had felt sorry for her a moment before but what was that? So she burned her arm? It was probably ...

At her statement about their rescue he couldn't help but smile a bit. Well, she's not stupid.

But then she pulled off her bandage and exposed the scarred skin underneath. "Ouch," he said, "how'd that happen?"

Terry was still thirsty but he only had three bottles of water, two and a quarter now, to last him so he screwed the lit back on and mournfully slipped it back into his sack. Escape? The though hadn't even crossed his mind before, but she was right there was no way it was going to happen if they cou...

He took a swig of his water and swallowed smiling at her, "Yeah we can only hope." He continued sipping for a while before looking up again. "I couldn't play even if I wanted to with this," he said pulling the box cutter from his pocket and staring at it. "I'm going to put o...

"N-no it's understandable," he said, "this whole thing isn't exactly the school trip we all had planned." "I'm going to go get your bat and barricade the door again," he said calmly leaving the house without waiting for a reply. He returned a moment later, the metal bat...
