"Get off me!" Hands worked on shoving off the larger assailant, but all his efforts seemed futile as the other made to grip the slender throat. Oh ******** no, he didn't think he was gonna strangle him, did he? Anger and fear burned brightly in the pinned individual who changed his tactic, hands moving to the other's face as thumbs angled themselves to lodge into the man's ocular cavities, only to find the tissue saved as the man pulled back, releasing the other in the process. With a window of opportunity, a hand grasped at the lost knife of the man atop him, swiftly burying it into the pterion and shoved the other off.
It seemed like an eternity ago when this whole hot mess of an apocalypse started, before then, everyone was going about their daily lives worrying about mundane things like getting to work on time, the number of calories they ate, or how to impress that girl sitting across from them on the bus. Just stupid small things that didn't even matter now, but he had to admit he missed those days, wished that all he had to worry about was whether or not his insurance was going to cover him if he blundered up his stunt and wounded himself. As of now, he had to worry about if he was going to get back to the Hub alive. So far, it hadn't going so well, but things were starting to look up. Sort of.
"Rickie!" A masculine voice called out, the smaller floored figure tilting his head back to spot a yet another man in the main shop isle, eyes quick to widen before Jace kipped up and started for the front of the shop, hoping to get out before anyone else came parading into this little situation. Unfortunately, he also made the mistake of undermining the new face, the man much quicker than himself and beat him to the door. s**t. Out the window it was then, the male taking a quick breath before bringing the left side of his of his body towards the front as he jumped and brought himself smashing through the glass. Shard and asphalt were quick to greet him, but he didn't let himself lay on the ground long enough, quickly pushing onto his hands and knees, stumbling up onto his feet and into a dead sprint.
A startled shout sounding behind him, but there wasn't time to look back, moving to take shelter by one of the hundreds of cars left in the parking lot. Certain of the other was headed straight for him, Jace unstrapped his Jess-x from his thigh, quickly jumped back out just in time to slip his blade into his pursuer's body, forcing the blade upward into the penetrated cavity. Red hues watched as the other's face slacked and the shift in the pupil to expand signaled the male had done his job, letting the body collapse before pulling his knife out and glancing back to the shop he had just come from. Tch. All this because he was looking for gifts for a baby shower. One he wasn't even invited to, which actually was fine with him, but at least they could've asked, you know?
Bringing a hand to his shoulder, he rubbed the bony knob as his attention turned back to the man at his feet. Before he could go back to his shopping, he still had to deal with the corpse before it got all bajigetty and tried munching on people. A heavy sigh escaped him before he moved to take care of the issue, slipping his knife right below the back of the skull to sever the brain stem. Alrighty, that was done with. Now back to shopping for some stupid baby that wasn't even born yet. Fun. If he was lucky, he might find something to make this trip worth while.
It would be about an hour or so before Jace found himself back at Six Flags, or better known as the Hub these days. It was surprising to find a functioning community like this, but having their settlement closer to the farmlands was actually pretty nice. Sure, it took time to travel to scavenging spots, but it was better to be away from the danger than so close to it. Plus, the closest thing was about half an hour to an hour up the road if you were walking and all it was were a couple fast food joints and the Jackson Premium Outlets, which having so many clothing shops so close was pretty nice. More so if pretty much everything you owned was cover in zombie gore. Of course, Jace himself kept his grubby things, but that was because he was out and about every chance he had rather than keeping cooped up. Probably drove Lain crazy that he was always running off, but he never came back empty handed, though. Speaking of which, it would probably be best if he found the woman after last night's troubles. Knowing her, she likely hadn't slept a wink and Jace believed he had just the fix for that. Maybe.
Hauling his overstuffed bag about, the young man was just about to call it quits when he spotted the familiar hue belonging to the very person he was searching for. "Lain!" He cried out, though as usual, the sound was muffled behind his mask. Oops. He quickened his step and soon caught up to the muddied woman, an amused huff escaped the man as he looked her over. Girl could definitely use a good power nap. "I brought you back a little gift." The man slung his back off his back and dug inside it for a moment, only then to reveal a large container of Folgers instant coffee. "I wasn't sure if you liked coffee or not, but after last night, I figured you could use a little pick me up." Worse came to worse, if she didn't like it, he'd hand it over to the folks who ran the food court to make up for all the farmers and volunteers who helped with the crops last night. Not a big deal either way.
