Tombstone lit a cigarette and turned back to Halon,he thought for a moment then spoke.

" The Satan's Servants safe house or The Devils Den,as members call it,is actually a very secluded old colonial mansion." Tombstone said " It's been in the Family for over four decades now,and for the most part we use it for ...well let's just say we use it to keep people who don't want to be found from being found"

Halon nodded his understanding.

" For the past several years" Tombstone continued " It's been one of several homes in which the Princess dear old daddy has operated out of" the biker indicated Jennifer with a nod " although he spends most of his time in a secured area closer to Cape city,I'm assuming that when this gakk storm started,The Brothers got Him to the Den because it's very defensible and reasonably isolated."

"So basically another Fortress?" Halon asked " Like Shadows place?"

" No where near as well supplied" Tombstone laughed " Heaviest weapon you'd find there is a SAW or two,lots of small arms and such though."

Halon nodded again.

" For now" Tombstone said " the most important thing is there are a half dozen Satan's Servants there,as well as the Medicine Man..who with any luck can help patch Shadow up."the biker continued " Plus ...we can catch our breath there..hunker down for a minute and figure out our next move."

" I see" Halon said

" Plus my Father is there" Jennifer said,turning to look at Halon.

" Oh yes" Tombstone smiled " I'm not forgetting dear old Daddy...I'm looking forward to seeing him almost as much as you are Princess."

Something about Tombstones tone suddenly worried Halon quite a bit,the biker may be anxious to See Jennifer's Father,but some how Halon thought that wasn't a good thing.

A mile or so ahead they could see the mansion looming into view.

Lag i think!

Keira wiped some of the excess blood that was oozing from the bandages entwined around shadow's head off.

"Medicine man? What can he do that I cant?" She mused to herself.

As the mansion loomed closer, Keira gazed out of the window at the carnage on the lawn. Lots of bodies, a couple of fires, and a burnt wreck of a truck. Pretty intense fighting had been occurring here. Something wasn't right, that as much, Keira knew. The last fight had done something to her. Her own thoughts felt strangely alien to her. But this was wrong. The mansion had a sense of forboding, and she felt it could be their final resting place.

"This doesn't feel right. If this was a safe house, why are the front doors open?"

Tombstone followed her gaze, and sure enough, the front doors of the mansion were wide open, almost invitingly.

Something was wrong.

Yes,our dear friend " The Lag" has proven to be more tenacious then even the most ravenous zombie.

" Feth" whispered Tombstone seeing the open doors of the Den "What in the Feth"

" I've got a bad feeling about this." Keira said from behind the biker.

" Why are the doors open?" Daisy said " is it for us? to get in quicker maybe?"

" I don't think so." Tombstone said, obviously concerned,he picked up his AK-47 and chambered a round,scanning the front yard for signs of trouble as the truck pulled in.

" Everyone stay frosty" Tombstone said " keep your eyes open and your mouths shut."

" Tombstone." Keira said "try the CB again."

The biker keyed the CB mic " One Eye? you there?" Tombstone said.

no response came.

" What the feth?!!" The biker growled angrily.

"What's wrong?!" Jennifer said " Is my Father ok!?"

" Feth your Father." Tombstone said leaping from he truck,weapons at the ready.

"Tombstone wait!!" Halon called,trying to exit the truck as well.

" Tomb! what are you doing!" Keira called

Daisy leapt from the truck,chambering a round into the AR-15 she held.

" I'm going to find out just what in the feth is going on!" Tombstone said,his rage barely contained.

" But what if.." Daisy started to say.

She was interrupted by the roar of machine gun fire from inside the mansion.

OOC: ghosty my friend...I think you may have screwed us..I can't help but love it.

Lies! I just mentioned summit was wrong. For all i know they could have just been letting in some air into the stagnent mansion. But N-O-oo you had to go and have machine gun fire.

Maybe he machine gun fire was just the noise of the guys inside having target practice and the doors are open to let the smell of gunpowder get out?

Well it just wouldn't be proper if there wasn't any machine gun fire, now would there? Otherwise there'd be a red carpet.. a red carpet and wine. I see no wine. I see no carpet. I see little and what I see is about as detailed as the first Mario game that came out (from Shad's PoV).

Anyway, basically Tomb is gonna run in there, find Daddy and TMM and get them outta there, then set everyone up for a massive event in which TMM might die, Papa will probably die, Jennifer will go wtfspast on Tomb, and someone else will probably also die.

Throw in a couple of undead bikers and we've got something good here..

Tombstone spun in the direction of the weapons fire,raising his weapon.

The bullet riddled body of a ghoul flying from the opened doors as though shot from a catapult crashed into the dooryard.

Tombstone and Daisy crouched low,and braced to fire as Halon rushed up from behind readying his weapon.

A figure loomed into the doorway...

It was One Eye,the biker held a still smoking MAC-10 in his hand,his weathered face broke into a smile upon seeing Tombstone.

" Stone! you dirty old bastard" One Eye bellowed "Get your ass up here and gimme a hug!"

Tombstone relaxed,but still seemed a bit agitated "What the feth did ya'll have the fething door open for ya damn fool!!" he yelled.

" Relax Stone" One Eye said " Puppy opened the door cause he heard some banging and figured it was ya'll..couple of them bastards got inside..we took care of it."

" Jesus fething Christ!" Tomstone yelled

" AHH was ya scared Stone?! " the biker jested " Fraid the big bad zombies done ate us?!"

" Feth you man" Tombstone said hugging One Eye "Good to see you Bro."

" Good ta see ya to Stone" One Eye replied " Now,let's get you and your new buddies in side before we do attract some unwanted attention."

" Damn right." Tombstone said,turning to te truck.

" Ok guys!" the biker yelled "let's get inside!""

Event time, I think. We should wait for silver to read all this, then see what he decides to do about TMM and Shadow, and Tombstone, Jennifer and Phoenix. Oh, and everyone else.

I have a feeling there'll be a metric fuckton of zombies on our heels after the event, though .

No doubt all the hungry zeds are in hot pursuit.

As far as an event just now,I'm hoping to be able to Rp a bit more,at least concerning an initial entrance into the "Den" as well as the beginnings of confrontation between Tombstone and Phoenix/Jennifer.

ghosty wrote:Lies! I just mentioned summit was wrong. For all i know they could have just been letting in some air into the stagnent mansion. But N-O-oo you had to go and have machine gun fire.

yes..I guess it was all me wasn't it.

Well, I've fixed now. ...at least til something else pops up wanting to eat us.

Tombstone,Halon,One Eye and Keira all carefully carried Shadow into the mansion,setting him gently in the bed of a downstairs room.

Upon exiting the room,they found Bonzo frantically inquiring of several of the bikers as to the possibilities of acquiring a chainsaw or two,this seemed to amuse the bikers to no end.

Jennifer entered the mansion carrying a backpack slung over her arm,the expression on her face was one of cautious anticipation,and Tombstone felt the slightest pang of regret that her reunion with her Father may not be a happy one.

" That feths got alot to answer for " Tombstone thought to himself "and she better fething understand it."

Daisy entered,and Tombstone noticed the appreciative looks she got from the rest of the bikers,he smiled at this,but also walked over and placed an arm around her,signaling to his brothers that she was "Taken".

One Eye erupted into gails of laughter at Tombstones protective behavior over the young woman " Don't ya worry there Stone." The man said " The boys was just looking...most of the boys have their old ladies here,hiding upstairs...so they ain't going to bother yer girl."

" What's yer name pretty lady?" One Eye said turning to Daisy.

" Daisy." the young woman said shaking hands with the old biker " and I'm not worried that any of Tombstones brothers would be less than gentlemen" she smiled.

This brought out a roar of good natured laughter from the group of assembled bikers,and introductions were made all around.

Keria entered the front room, looking around a bit apprehensively,she was introduced to the bikers,but seemed a bit distant.

" Where is the one you called Medicine Man?" she finally asked " is he examining Shadow?"

" I am Medicine Man" a deep voice said from the rear of the room.

Keira turned to face a tall man of about fifty five,obviously Native American,his long hair a pure silver color,eyes narrowed but kind,his leather jacket bedecked with feathers and various tribal jewelry.

" You must be the good spirit who cared for your injured friend on your journey here" Medicine Man said to Keira.

" Well..I did what I could." the woman replied.

" If you would..I would happily welcome your help in aiding me to assist your friend" The old biker said.

" I'll do what I can." Keira said.

The two walked away to examine Shadow.

" So Stone." asked the biker called Puppy " How was your trip in?"

The group laughed as Tombstone threw a beer can at the man.

Jennifer interrupted them.asking rather loudly " So,where is my Father?"

From the top of the stairs came her answer.

" Right here my Dear one." Phoenix said.

He stood atop the stairs,impeccably dressed in suit and tie,besides him two Satan's Servants,Big Boy and Bam Bam stood as his personal guards.

" Daddy?!" Jennifer said,a tear slipping down her cheek.

Tombstones eyes narrowed as he turned to see Phoenix.

You have to remember that the last thing a huge army of zombies saw was you guys driving off... and you only went about 10 minutes down the road

SilverMK2 wrote:You have to remember that the last thing a huge army of zombies saw was you guys driving off... and you only went about 10 minutes down the road

This is quite true...however,and of course this is just my calculations so feel free to be as evil as you wish. ,our group was in a truck going about 60 mph,the zeds are on foot,so we should have a few hours lead on them...of course I could be completely wrong about that and may end up zombie snack for my insolence.

'nuff said.

The mansion/hideout was Fitzz's baby, so I am happy for you all to RP it. I will step in if required later on.

"So GuyS, aNy ChaNSe Of a CHainSaw abOutS hEre?" Bonzo inquired to the assembled Bikers. Laughing at this random outburst from such an odd looking character, one of them, wiping his tears away from his eyes replied.

"Nah man, not got any I'm afraid, the gardener went a bit.... 'ga-ga'" Winking to other bikers as he said this, answered with grim chuckles. "He didn't leave much for us in the pruning department" Signalling to a window, the sight of which was of a small crater with pieces of shed scattered around it, it seemed the gardener had gone out with a bang.

"Why'D He BlOW Up THE GoDDAM ShED?!" Bonzo exclaimed, "MoRE IMPOrTAnTLY, WhY My DamN ChaINSAWS!?" The bikers seemed to laugh even harder at this louder outburst from the clown, the biker who had answered Bonzo's question held his hand forward in greeting.

"No idea mate, anyway, my name's Dave, Dirty Dave they call me" He said, winking again at the bikers.

"NiCe ToO MeeT YoU, I'M BonZo I'M SurE We'll Be GREAT! FrieNDS!" Bonzo exclaimed as he grasped Dave's hand enthusiastically. Dave recoiled, clutching his hand.

"FETH!" He shouted, shaking his hand in the air.

"JuST A QuiCK BUZZ!" Giggled Bonzo, revealing the hand buzzer he had used to shock Dave. Dave realized that he had fallen for a simple practical joke and laughed in good humor.

"I suppose you've got a few tricks up your sleeve eh?"

"YoU COuLD SaY ThAt" Replied Bonzo, winking conspiratorially at the bikers and looking up his sleeves with a grin. This left the bikers roaring with laughters, one banging on the table as tears streamed down his face, to the obvious displeasure of Phoenix, however Bonzo and his new friends seemed oblivious.

@ Silver.

I'm certain that you will have to step in with an event in the very near future,what with the approaching zombie army,Shadows injury,Tombstones smoldering rage at Phoenix over the attack by his men and Bonzos inability to locate a chain saw....chaos and mayhem should erupt very shortly.

As The Medicine Man led Keira through the house, she took as much of it in as she could. The place was beautifully decorated, and expensively furnished. But it was clear intense fights had occurred in many of the rooms. One she went through had a blood soaked Sofa, riddled with bullet holes. Another was missing part of the wall, the wallpaper burnt and smudged with charcoal. The hole had been hastily patched up with wooden beams. The man seemed to be leading her towards the back of the house, away from the living quarters. They entered a large and mainly empty room, its walls lined with steel beds. Most of them were unoccupied, a few had bodies laying motionless and covered, a couple had a few sleeping Bikers lying on them.

"Welcome to my workplace. I just need to pick up some equipment before we tend to your friend."

Keira nodded, and wandered over to a man sleeping. He had some deep lacerations across his stomach, but they had been expertly stitched, and were slowly healing. She leant down and examined them more closely. Running locked sutures, presumably because of the tension his injuries were under. Lower down on the belly injuries were tell tale marks that the skin had been torn. Keira shifted the Bikers belt slightly to get a better look and the stretch marks on the laceration.

"That's it little lady, Hog's got some stress he needs relieving."

Keira looked up at the man's face, which was grinning back at her. He didn't seem like a horrible person. Hell, if he'd been walking down the street in a suit she wouldn't have given him a second glance.

"Hi...Hog. Im Keira, how'd you cut your belly open?"

The man laughed, and pulled himself into a sitting position on the bed.

"Got caught in the gardeners blast din't I. A rake and a trowel made an exit across my stomach. Medicine Man says im gonna be fine provided I don't do anything strenuous for a couple more days."

Keira smiled politely.

"I wish my boys listened to me like you listen to him." She indicated to the Medicine Man, who was busy collecting up a variety of surgical and spiritual pieces of equipment.

"Can't get 'em to sit still long enough for the wounds to heal eh?"

"No. They're always trying tog et themselves killed. Im surprised I haven't found them playing Russian roulette yet."

The man roared with laughter again.

"My girl, shall we check on your patient?"

Keira looked over her shoulder, to find the Medicine Man was standing close by, smiling.

"Ok, well, nice to meet you Hog."

"You to, Keira."


As they walked back through the house Keira filled her new partner in on the injury.

"He cracked him skull open on the top of our vehicle when it turned over. He's suffering from extreme head trauma, and he might have lost the ability to speak, or worse, lost all control over his motor functions."

The Man nodded, but said nothing. Keira continued.

"Iv'e done what I could to stem the bleeding, which worries me by the way, if he had internal bleeding on the brain he could be as good as dead. Otherwise, Iv'e put a splint on the back of his neck, as I don't have a neck restraint, and I gave him the last of the morphine."

Again, The Man said nothing, but he seemed to quicken his pace. Maybe there was something he could do. As he began to move away from her, Keira reached into the backpack and rummaged around. Her hand brushed against a small pot of pills. She pulled them out and swallowed a couple. Replacing them back in her bag she jogged after The Medicine Man, who was already three rooms away.

@Fitzz - I'll find Bonzo a Chainsaw, or at the very least a garden spade.

I will give you all time to post a bit and get your characters set up and take stock after the last event.

wow, I really can't think of anything to write. so instead of posting i'm gonna leave it for just now

Medicine Man stood over Shadow examining his injuries as Keira entered the room,the old biker looked up at her and smiled.

" Sorry to leave you behind...I just had a feeling" Medicine Man said.

"Feeling?" Keira asked.

"Yes" the old biker replied " He was choking when I entered..but I have alleviated that."

" You..felt that?" Keira asked,slightly amazed.

Medicine Man smiled warmly at her.

" Here" he said " See your friends injury.."

Keira looked at the gash in Shadows head,and nodded.

" He has two fractures...one small lineure and another comminuted fracture" Medicine Man said " The lineure fracture will heal with little problem..it is the comminuted fracture we must concern ourselves with."

" No sign of a Depressed Fracture?" Keria asked.

"Thankfully no" Medicine Man said "however,there is sighs of blood pooling which we must clear to further examine if the bones have punctured the Dura and to check for any swelling of the brain."

Keira nodded "It doesn't appear any bone fragment has become dislodged,but exploratory exam would reveal more."

"Exactly." smiled Medicine Man " Let's get him prep ed."

Keira nodded and gingerly cleaned and shaved the area around the wound.

" Now" Medicine Man said smiling " Let us see just how badly your friend has been hurt."

OOC: I feel it might help if I post a quick list of NPCs in the house,just to avoid any confusion.

One Eye-the older biker who's been in charge at the safe house.

Puppy-younger biker,sort of dumb,but very loyal and a hell of a fighter.

Hog-the injured biker Keira met.

Dirty Dave-the biker Bonzo was talking to.

Two Dogs-another injured biker.

Spanky-an small wiry biker who's good with explosives.

Bam Bam-huge biker,one of Phoenix's guards
Big Boy-same as Bam Bam.

Medicine Man.

and finally Mr. Phoenix-Jennifer's Father,super crime lord and overall bastard who sent his goons to kill our group .

Oops...I forgot,several of the bikers have their "old ladies" (biker speak for girl friends/wives) safe upstairs,no names for them .

So.... Russian roulette you say?
