He didn't say anything but handed the photo to Chris.
"For James," it read, "My strong man, my rock. I love you and you'd better come home, Doctor Vendet! -Best wishes and with love, Sasha."

Chris went quiet as he didn't know what to say. He handed it back to him and placed a friendly hand on his shoulder "we're better off together"

He folded it up again and returned it to his pocket, then took Keera back from Eliza, holding the fox tightly.

Jane was able to read the writing when it was pointed out, although she didn't say anything. Poor James. Thought the girl. She assumed James was his name because it was written on the picture.

Looking around after a moment, Jane began to get jumpy. "Um... Should we, um.. Should we go? I don't think we're safe here." She was eyeing the group of slow-moving zombies heading their way.

Eliza nodded. "They're easily taken care of-" she said as she pointed at the small group "-but it'll draw the attention of the horde." She looked at Doc. "Lead the way."

Chris quickly stopped Eliza "actually I don't think they've seen us yet and we should avoid combat, how about we take an emergency exit or something"

"That's what I just said!" Eliza looked at Christopher, kind of annoyed for having misunderstood her. "I said it'll attract the horde, so I asked Doc to escort us to wherever his friends are."

Chris went slightly red "oh umm... Sorry?"

Jane shyly laughed at Christopher's mistake.

Eliza just shook her head. "Never mind." she smiled when she saw Jane laugh, however.

Jane looked around again. "I guess I could distract them..." Jane was confident in her speed. And, if all else failed, she could always fly.

"Not nessecary. As Christopher mentioned earlier, I don't think they've seen us yet."

"Come," Doc said quietly and led them down a back alley, for the first time in many years, emotions had begun to return to his ruined mind and it was making his sanity return in a painful way.

"I have a sister who's at University... I don't know if she's alive or dead... But I am going to find out one way or another" he said looking at the floor. Both his eyes showing how sad he feels and maybe he can't relate to Doc but he still hurt just as bad.

The girl followed Doc and the others down the alley. Her thoughts were on the spreading virus. Who could have done this? Or how did it happen? Zombies didn't just appear one day, right? How has this not happened before in the thousands of years of recorded history?

Her wings folded tight against her back, and she was tense. Something could jump out of nowhere and chomp her face before she even got the chance to say "Bugger." That thought scared her.

Eliza saw the worrying look on Jane's face. "Don't worry!" she said, patting her head. "We'll protect you." she smiled at the girl.

"I-I remember it all now..." Doc said quietly, clearly oblivious to Jane's worry or any other conversation, "It vas during see war just before zee outbreak. vas out in zee field, sewing up a man who's leg vas blown up by a land mine vhen I got zee news Zat-" he choked a bit again, "Zat Deutschland... Germany, and my home had been nuked... I left immediately... I vent to search for her... I hoped she survived... I found Keera somehow still alive," he squeezed his pet fox, "But zee radiation... It started to destroy my mind... I forgot why I vas there. She's dead now though..."

Chris didn't say much, he couldn't relate to him but he couldn't imagine having to put down his sister... "Hey man, look. She knew that you loved her more than anything and i bet you that whatever she was doing or wherever she was she felt that love... that closeness no matter how far you two were and she left happy" following him all he could do was feel sorry for him...
