Ron exited the bathroom as quickly and quietly as he could and followed Darnell to the generator room.

Darnell silently walked toward the generator room

Ron followed Darnell to the generator room. All the while, he took in his surroundings.

In the bunkroom-
Darnell led Roy back to the barracks-like room with the bunk beds and footlockers. The open door back to the hydroponics room where they had left Heather was at the far end, on the right.

OOC,Both of you, please roll Listen. The base skill is 25%.

As they move to the generator room, Ron hears something above the noise of the generator

"Darnell, someone is comming" Ron said. "Hurry, lets get to the hydro room and meet them there. Follow my lead and get ready for some action, okay?" Ron made haste to the end of the room and planned to enter the hydro room at about the same time as the others.

Darnell followed Ron and tried to hide but he could not find a place that was good enough.

In the hydroponics room-
Ron and Darnell returned from the bunkroom. Heather was still sitting where they had left her, her eyes wide and unfocused. Damon Marley and his daughter Lisa entered from the door leading back to the stairs, carrying Officer Kate Wheeler between them and struggling with her weight. Kate was no longer wearing her uniform shirt and only wore her bra above her waist. She still had her trousers on, except for the material that had been cut away to put the splint on her leg, and she wasn't wearing her belt either. Lisa was wearing it, and she also wore a bulletproof vest that was somewhat too big for her. She carried a shotgun slung over her shoulder. Damon had a submachine gun on his belt. Both of them looked drained and weary.

"There you are, Darnell," said Damon in an accusing tone. "You were supposed to be keeping an eye on Keith. How is it that he got his hands on an M-16 and gunned down my son?!"

"My apologies, Damon." Ron said "I was just getting acquainted with the lay out of the area and checking the defenses. We'll make sure to keep an eye on him."

Ron stood aside and let Damon and Lisa proceed to the bathroom.

Darnell muttered his apolgies and followed

In the hydroponics room-
"Apologies?!" snapped Damon. "MY SON IS DEAD!" He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "It's not your fault," he said to Ron. "You just got here, and Keith wasn't your responsibility. He was Darnell's. Ain't no more use keeping an eye on him now - he's dead too." He and Lisa carried Kate into the bunkroom. "Just leave us alone!" He kicked the door shut behind him. The sound made Heather practically jump.

Ron followed to the bunkroom door and opened it up and spoke to Damon "Damon," Ron said empathetically ".... I'm sorry about your son. I am."

In the bunkroom-
Damon frowned at Ron as he and Lisa set Kate down on the nearest bunk. "I said we wanted to be left alone," he growled. "Just leave and close the door behind you."

Lisa looked like she was on the verge of tears. Weakly, Kate reached out and touched her hand. "I'm sorry, too, Lisa," she said. "I didn't want any of this to happen."

"Damon" Ron said. "Can I have a word with you, please? In private."
