Z-Day - 6:24 PM Central Time - Marley Warehouse, Omaha, Nebraska East of the warehouse- Darnell and a Jamaican man stood in the mouth of the alley between the warehouses at the southern end, facing off against Ron Moore, who was in the middle of the alley. Darnell had a pistol in his hand, and the Jamaican carried a pump shotgun. Both of them were pointing their weapons at the coach. Neither Darnell nor Ron were injured, but the Jamaican's leg was bandaged. Even so, he didn't appear to be very badly injured.
OOC,[b]Ron[/b], you get to act first. If you wish to shoot, you may fire one shot with either your pistol or the bow, whichever you had ready. The range is normal, and there is no time to aim for a specific body part. If you do shoot, then [b]Darnell[/b] would get to fire his first shot if he's still able, followed by the Jamaican and then [b]Darnell[/b]'s second shot. Since you can't possibly take both of them down before they get to return fire, this would be a very dangerous proposition.
OOC,I'm going to give [b]Ron[/b]'s player a couple of more days to post. [b]Ron[/b] goes first because he has DEX 18. When it's your turn, you can try to Grapple him, but you'll have to have both of your hands free to do it, which means putting your gun away. It's not your turn yet, though.
"Darnell," Ron said with his hands up, "Have I ever wanted to see you in jail? Shit, son, I've protected you and stood up for you from day one and will continue to do so. I've always treated you like a son, and I always will. No please, stop pointing the guns at me. I'm not here for anything other than to make sure you were safe. I heard that those others were coming here and I followed them in secret. I was worried about you, Darnell."
Darnell said, "No coach, you refused to let me go kill Kyle when he needed killing. If you had let me and supported me in that effort, LaTanya would not have followed the group here and would not have been murdered. You caused her death ipso facto. So once again down on your knees unless you want to lose a kneecap capache?"
Ron lowers to his knees. "Seriously, Darnel?! Let you kill a man?" Ron said shaking his head. "How could you ever think I would let you kill that boy? I've apparently failed you greater than I thought I did. You're a good kid and everything I have done for you has been in an effort to let others see just how much of an upstanding young man you are. Time and time again you haven't been given a fair shake by anyone but me."
Darnell said, "He tried to have his killed with a bomb. You would have died. Because you all adults were to scared to take frontier justice in your hands I had to. I did not kill him though as I was raised correctly but I did put the fear of God into him. And what did you all do? You chased me down like a dog in the night. For what? Standing up for what is right? No sir, God told me to do what I did. You have the blood of LaTanya on your hands and my baby on your hands also. Now tell me where the others are now."
"Darnell, don't be grouping me in with everyone else because you know that's bullshit. You can call them the 'Adults' if you want but I'm your coach. I am different from them. I treat my players like my sons. Like my own flesh and blood and always have." Ron retorted.
"I agree with you, Darnell. That kid deserved to die but you have to understand that not everyone has the guts to do what needs to be done like you and I do. All of those people at the school are so afraid. They are paralyzed with fear but you weren't and I'm proud of you for that. Hell, I was even afraid to act like I know I should have. With all those things out there trying to kill us, it... it just didn't seem right even though that dipshit had tried to kill us too."
"I came here today because I was worried about you and no one else. I came here by myself in secret to see if I could talk to you before they arrived but it looks like I was too late......." Ron's shoulders slump as he hangs his head.
OOC,No, it's not. It's not in [b]Ron[/b]'s backstory either.
Ron Moore,That's the sort of thing that would be far more likely to happen with [b]Roy McCrumb[/b], if you look at your secrets again. You might have gotten them mixed up. You may need to edit your post.
Spoiler,I made up the name Ms. Anderson just to be generic but my secrets says that I've covered his agressive sexual behavior and that he doesn't know when to stop when women say no. To have a woman say she said 'No' and Darnell did not stop is not a stretch. I said she accused him of it and people jumped on him without finding out if there was any merit to her acusations, muck like the Duke Lacross scandle. Ron defended him in this matter and he was exonerated.
East of the warehouse-
"So, what do you think?" said the Jamaican with the shotgun to Darnell. "Can we trust this guy to join us, or do we kill him? Cause those are the only choices I can see. We're wasting too much time standing around here. If we don't hurry, that cop's gonna escape."
Darnell said, "Coach I want to believe you and not have to kill you so tell you what. You really believe in me? Really want to help me? Tell us where the other cop is and lead us to her and I will gurantee you will live."
" I'm not sure where they went, Darnell" Ron said. "When I came upon the scene I saw someone rounding the corner to the north of the alley back there but I can't be sure that was them but I don't see why it matters. What they hell is a cop going to do? I'm sure no one gives a shit about shit with FUCKING ZOMBIES ROAMING THE STREETS! Shit tends to take a back seat when the dead are rising and eating the living, ya know what I mean?"
East of the warehouse-
"That didn't stop those punks from raiding us, mon," said the Jamaican, already moving to the back of the alley. "Don't know if you've noticed, but the dead are staying dead now. That cop escapes and tells people where we are, we'll have trouble. Come on, Darnell. Bring him and follow me." He hurried behind the warehouse.
"Oh no! They will tell people where you are!" Ron says, in a tone just dripping with sarcasm. "Do you really think people give a shit about you, MON? People care about staying alive and that's it. They weren't trying to raid you, shit head. They were trying to rescue the WOMEN you decided to kidnap."
"Fuck it" Ron said. "I'm done giving a shit. I'm setting out on my own and looking out for only one person. ME. Now hold your fire cause I am standing up and walking away. You two can do what ever you want. By the way, I saw those two you are looking for head to the north. The cop mentioned something about a police safehouse up there that was stocked with weapons and first aid supplies."
