IC-OMAHA-Person of Interest(Amelia/Johns/Gretch/Jerry/etc.)

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,[b]Rachel[/b], please roll Medicine. The base skill is 5%. Anyone else who wishes to examine the body may roll Medicine as well.

[ImpInTraining]

Donald wasn't much of a medic, so he kept the others covered in the event that the Feds (or whatever they were) returned. He vigilantly moved around, keeping his senses open for any signs of someone approaching.

Rachel hasn't a clue about what did for John Lee. In fact, she is unsure whether he is really dead.

Jerry looks with caution to be sure that agents aren't really there.

[Mr. Handy]

On the street-
Donald could see no activity. Jerry barely caught sight of the two agents fleeing on foot about a block to the west. They were moving very fast and rapidly disappearing.

Amelia looked John Lake over. While he was obviously in poor health, he showed no signs of physical injury and she had no clue how to even begin treating him. She shook him hard by the shoulders, and he suddenly snapped out of his reverie.

"What the hell just happened?" he asked.

"I was hoping you could tell us," said Amelia, frowning.

"Those two FBI agents...I don't know how they did it, but somehow they paralyzed us. Then they killed John Lee in the same bizarre way. That's when Jerry showed up and tried to stop them. The man took my gun. When you escaped with Jerry, they fled. We couldn't do a damn thing."

Jack followed Amelia's example and shook Gretchen, who came to her senses as well.

[kabukiman]

-Well, at least you are alive. But I'm worried that those two are outside in the city.

[ImpInTraining]

"Well, they're no threat now," Donald said and pointed the shotgun to the ground. He went over to John's body and started searching the boy for any sort of clues as to why they would have wanted him dead. "Does anyone know CPR? Maybe we can bring him back?"

Rachel looks concerned.

[Mr. Handy]

On the street-
Gretchen went over to John Lee's body and held his wrist. "No pulse," she said, "and he's been dead several minutes already. It's too late for CPR." She stood up and approached Jerry. "At least you're alive too, but you have been shot. Let me help you." She skillfully removed the bullet and stitched up the wound very well. "A good night's rest and you'll be fine."

Donald searched John Lee's body. All he found was a wallet containing a student ID from a college in Cheyenne, a Wyoming driver's license, some useless credit cards, and some equally useless cash. He did notice that the backpack he had once worn was gone. The FBI agents had taken it from him back at the school.

"Sun's going down," said Jack, pointing to the west. While they had been talking, the sun had dropped below the horizon. There was still light for now, but it would be dark soon.

"You guys should get back to the school," said John Lake, having tried and failed to do anything about his invisible injuries. "Gretchen and I will go on to the police station and tell them what happened." He shrugged. "Maybe they'll even believe us. Besides, I don't have a weapon any more, and I can get a replacement there. We should also bring the body there so that they can perform an autopsy."

"You should be safe at the school," said Gretchen. "There are too many people there for anyone to try anything, and I'm sure Rachel can see to your defense. I'd recommend hunkering down for the night and getting some rest. I'll come by to check on everyone in the morning."

[ImpInTraining]

Donald nodded, taking the student ID and handing the driver's license to John Lake, "Proof of ID... good as a dog tag on the toe, I suppose."

He started heading back toward the school, "I'll get back to work on that old school bus."

Rachel nods, like Donald, and tags along with the caretaker.

ooc,I'm away for a week.

[kabukiman]

-So there outside worst things than the zombies. Humans and not humans. Let's return to the school and good luck to you.

[Mr. Handy]

On the street-
"Good luck to you too," said Gretchen. She and John Lake picked up John Lee's body and began the long walk west to the police station while the others headed east. Before long, the school was once more in sight. It had been a terrible day, and while the dead had somehow been dealt with, there was a strange new threat at large. They had survived the first day, but what horrors would tomorrow bring?

OOC,Congratulations on surviving Chapter 6! It will probably be a few weeks before Chapter 7 starts, but in the meantime you may continue to post. Chapter 7 will pick up the following morning. If there's anything you plan to do tonight besides sleep (and finish fixing the bus), let me know here.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,The story continues in the Omaha section of Chapter 7, in the following thread.
