"Easy there. Easy." Steve mutters to the horses. He collects the lantern and switches it on (or lights it with his lighter if it isn't electric).
He opens a stall, and starts saddling up one of the horses. He had a few moments till the zombies broke through the doors, hopefully.

In the loft-
Caitlin was able to expertly treat Lara's injuries, which she saw were consistent with a fall from significant height onto a hard surface. She cleaned and bandaged the many minor cuts and put ointment on her abrasions. Lara felt a good deal better - at least physically - but it would be days before she would completely recover.
In the stables-
The lantern wasn't electric, so Steve ignited it. He opened the stall and hastily saddled the horse as banging on the stable door began. He had just mounted up when the door was smashed inwards by the three zombies that had been chasing him.

Steve rides the horse to the far end of the stable, away from the oncoming zombies, where he shoves the doors open and rides back out into the night.

Failing to eject the cartridge from the jammed round last attempt Lara closes her eyes and makes the process step by step. Going through the steps listening and feeling her way through. She pushes the magazine eject button at the bottom of the pistol grip and removes the magazine from the Ruger's handle. She then slowly pulls back on the slide to eject any round that might have been chambered in the pistol barrel. When having examined the pistol she checks the magazine for displaced rounds in the mag, pulling them out one by one then putting them back in. Lastly she pushes the magazine back up the grip and it is ready for use. She counted 12 rounds left. That would be enough for three encounters at the most. That is if she´s lucky. Hopefully it will be enough to get them safely in the truck.

Steve rides the horse out of the stable, towards the front of the barn, and shouts up to the girls in the loft.
"I'm alright! I've got one of the horses, I should be able to lure them away safely now!"

Re: IC-SWORD-In Harm's Way(Lara Voronova/Steve Bell/Caitlin)
Outside the barn-
Steve spurred his horse to a gallop after he exited from the stables, leaving the zombies behind inside, though he could see they were still following him and heading for the rear exit when he rounded the corner. He raced around to the front of the stables, then across the open ground to the barn, and finally around it to the front. When he reached the front of the barn, the two zombies that had entered in his absence stepped over the broken barn doors and emerged, just a few yards away from him.
In the loft-
Lara continued to work on clearing the jammed pistol while Caitlin treated her many cuts, scrapes, and bruises. When Steve shouted, she was almost - but not quite - done. The zombies that came out of the barn were now visible.

Lara gets ready to take two shots when she has gotten the weapon ready.

Re: IC-SWORD-In Harm's Way(Lara Voronova/Steve Bell/Caitlin)
Steve tugs on the reins and turns the horse away from the oncoming zombies. Throughout this he shouts at the monsters, and also encouragements up to the women.
"Just stay quiet up there girls, they should follow me! Just hang in there! Get in the truck as soon as you are sure they are gone!"
Steve's mind is hardened by the events of the day and his need to protect his daughter.

Re: IC-SWORD-In Harm's Way(Lara Voronova/Steve Bell/Caitlin)
Worried that the cruel monsters would find a way up to the loft, Caitlin fires two shots into the throng beneath her inside the barn, firing wide both times. "Why don't we just let them all in and set the whole place on fire while we climb out the window? Would be better than me trying to shoot all of them!"

Re: IC-SWORD-In Harm's Way(Lara Voronova/Steve Bell/Caitlin)
On the road-
Steve spurred his horse west, following the dirt track that led away from the barn to the edge of the paved highway running north to Crawford and south away from it. The horse didn't need any encouragement; it was just as eager to get away from them as he was. The two zombies from the barn trudged after him, but they couldn't keep up with a man on horseback.
In the loft-
The two women were safe enough up here for now, but they couldn't stay here forever. There was that tree within reach of the edge of the window which one of them could use to climb down and then set up the ladder, in addition to the possibility of jumping onto bales of hay. Those bales could be tossed to the base of the tree to soften any fall from that as well. Lara finally finished clearing the jam and her pistol was ready to fire.

Re: IC-SWORD-In Harm's Way(Lara Voronova/Steve Bell/Caitlin)
Feeling more confident as she has managed to clear the gun, Lara hauls some bales down the bottom of the tree. While doing so she tells Caitlin "You climb - get the ladder! I shoot the fucks! I´m better." She waits for Cait to hustle and a target to present itself coming out of the barn.

Caitlin nods and, setting the gun down for the moment, starts to move the ladder into place.

Fire his shotgun back at his pursuers. He misses, but he didn't expect to hit. He keeps the zombies at a safe distance, but trys to insure they keep chasing him. Essentially, he's herding them, just like cattle. Only the cattle is chasing him in hopes of eating his flesh.

Having thrown down the bales. Lara returns to aim at the area around the tree, in case some of the zombies would return.

On the road-
Buckshot sped off into the night as Steve emptied one of his barrels. The two zombies continued towards him unhindered, and they were now less than ten feet away.
In the loft-
Lara waited while Caitlin scurried down the tree.
Outside the barn-
Caitlin scaled the tree like Spider-Man and made it to the bottom in record time, then picked up the ladder and leaned it against the barn, so that the top was now accessible from the loft.

Seeing how swiftly the farm girl had scaled the tree, Lara holds the 9mm in her right hand and holds on to the ladder with her left and starts climbing down, slowly. She keeps a look out fro any zombies closing in on Caitlin. "Can you start the car? I´m right behind you!"
