On the road-
Sean kept running. He was now seven minutes away. How many did he have left?

Sean keeps moving, focusing on everything but the bite and what it meant.

10:22 AM
On the road-
Sean continued, now a third of the way to the car. Wallace hadn't deteriorated this quickly, and he had been bitten over an hour ago. Was it because Sean had been bitten multiple times? Was it because most of his bites had been worse than Wallace's, especially the one on his leg? Brigetta would surely have some ideas about it, but she wasn't here. He was reminded once more that he would never see her again.

Just need to keep going for 30 minutes. Sean thinks. I'll say goodbye to Jim and then go out on a kamikaze run. Maybe prime the car to explode and take out as many of the bastards as I can. Should prevent me from becoming one as well.

10:23 AM
On the road-
Sean was now almost halfway to the car. He had to hope he could get it started. It didn't look like he could make it back on foot.

Sean wipes his brow and continues moving. What else could he do?

10:24 AM
On the road-
Sean was now only a third of a mile from the car. It felt like he had been going forever.

Sean hopes Jim is alright-- he knows how one mistake, one second of overconfidence, could prove fatal. He keeps moving.

10:25 AM
On the road-
Sean trudged onward. He would reach the car in another couple of minutes.

Sean keeps trucking along.

10:26 AM
On the road-
Sean kept running, his lungs burning. He was almost there now.

Sean keeps moving.

10:27 AM
On the road-
Sean finally reached the police cruiser.

OOC,[b]Sean[/b], please roll Mechanical Repair if you want to try to fix the car. The base skill is 20%.

Sean stops running, taking a few seconds to catch his breath. Then he gets to work fixing the cruiser. Hopefully he would get it working in short order.

Mechanical Repair 20%,[dice]0[/dice] I hope this is one of the times where I can keep rolling until it works. ;)

10:28 AM
On the road-
Sean tinkered with the engine, but the car refused to start.

OOC,Yes, this is one of those times. You may make another Mechanical Repair roll. You get one attempt per minute until you either succeed, critically fail (and damage it irreparably), turn into a zombie, or get interrupted some other way.

"Come on!" Sean says. He says a prayer to anyone that's listening and tries again.

Mechanical Repair 20%,[dice]0[/dice]

10:29 AM
On the road-
Sean kept trying, but the engine still wouldn't turn over.

OOC,[b]Sean[/b], you may make another Mechanical Repair roll.

Sean continues to try. He refuses to believe he came so far only to be stopped by a faulty engine. Damn it, if he could kill near a dozen of the infected he could start a car!

Mechanical Repair 20%,[dice]0[/dice] Oh dear.

10:30 AM
On the road-
Something broke when Sean tried to tinker with it, and the engine died - and with it, his hope. Nothing he did was able to bring it back to life.

Sean allows him the luxury of a few seconds of utter despair. Then he tries to think things though. He doubts he could get back to the motel in this state, but it was worth trying, anyway. Alternatively he could blow up the car and try to attract attention, though it was likely the only attention he would attract would be the undead kind. Still, that wasn't totally bad-- maybe he could take a few more of them down.

He decides to start moving back towards the motel. Maybe he'd find another car along the way, or people or something. But if he felt himself about to die... he knew what he had to do. He just hoped he could do something more with his life first.
