IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
Z-Day - 4:13 PM Central Time - Brooks High School, Omaha, Nebraska
On the football field-
Officer Kate Wheeler walked along the sidelines on the north side of the football field on patrol, keeping her eye on the nearby perimeter to make sure the fence had not been damaged. Dead bodies lay outside the fence around the edges, having been electrocuted when they touched it. The ghouls were very hard to kill. Shooting them in the head was effective, but electricity seemed to work even better. Though many had been slain, there were still plenty wandering the streets all around the school, but as long as the fence held out they would be safe. She tried not to look too closely at them, as the sight disturbed even her. She passed the bleachers, where she saw Alvin Drummond lying in the grass beneath them. The homeless man was a fixture in this neighborhood, and a very familiar sight for Kate. Nuzzled up against him was a stray mutt he called Murray. The dog had no collar, but he never strayed far from Alvin and nobody ever took him to the pound. It was quite obvious to everyone that the two of them belonged together. A distance to the south was the main school building. She could see a cluster of people talking in the parking lot behind the school: Emily and Chuck Lubachek from the auto body shop across the street from the school, their mechanic Emilio Montoya, and Becky Clarke, the school bus driver. There was also another dog: Chuck's Rottweiler, Tiny. His master kept him on a short leash.

Re: IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
Alvin set up and came from behind the bleachers. He walked up to Kate and said, "Officer, listen I served my country at a time when this country split apart and we were being attacked by mobs here. It appears that this is going on again. I can train people. Can you get me a weapon?"

Re: IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
Officer Kate Wheeler: Seeing Alvin approaching, she stops and places her left hand on her hip - a gesture she unconsciously takes when talking to Civies on the job.
"Good ol' Drum. Nice to see you haven't been plugged or fried." After listening to Alvin talk, she replies: "I don't think this is the same as your old war stories, Drum. You know I can't give you a weapon. You shouldn't even be asking me.
Listen, head on over to the school and see if you can help out there - let us hotheads keep the peace here for know. Later, if some Crispy chows down on me, you can prise my gun from my fingers and plug the sonnofabitch that got me, okay?"
OOC: Can't get a spoiler-button to work with an html in it. Oh well - in case Alvin wants to stay, here's Kate's successful fast talk

Re: IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
"Well maybe I will go check out the kitchen for some eats. Murry come here boy!" He made sure the dog was following him and began to walk toward the open fire door.

Murry follows Alvin much closer than usual. Today had been a very odd day.

Officer Kate Wheeler:
Watching Alvin and his dog Murray head towards the school, she shakes her head, smiling. Ol' Drum and his crew never were that fazed by any sort of shit - one of the reasons she secretly admired the homeless folk.
She continued her rounds of the fence, carefully observing for any holes or damage, any sign of movement - her gun was holstered but ready to pull at the first twitch of a ghoulish limb.

Re: IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
While Alvin walked toward the school he stopped and bent to pet Murry. His eyes then looked around under the bleachers for maybe an old bottle or something that could be used for a weapon. He thought he spied something that just might do and began to walk toward it.

On the football field-
Alvin Drummond and Murray trotted across the football field toward the school. Alvin kept his eyes out as he went, but the groundskeeper, Donald Woodridge, kept the field and the stands very clean of any garbage. Still, every so often he missed something. That's when Alvin would grab it, and Donald would never know his cleaning job had been imperfect. When he reached the south side of the football field, not far from the parking lot, he struck paydirt. Concealed in the grass under the bleachers on that side was a bottle, probably discarded by someone at last night's practice. It quickly became Alvin's. Normally he'd have turned it in for the deposit, but today he needed it for protection far more than he needed pocket change.
Kate continued walking along the north side of the football field on her patrol route.

Re: IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
Alvin looked up from the bottle to Murry and said, "What is it boy?" In the gathering dark his eyes spotted something.

Gazing around carefully, Kate spots something!

Re: IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
On the football field-
Kate Wheeler resumed her rounds and started walking east near the northern fence, but she glanced behind her as she went. Meanwhile, Alvin Drummond and Murray had passed the southern bleachers on their way to the rear parking lot and the main school building byeond it. Chuck and Emily Lubachek headed for the back door to the school's gym that had been propped open, pulling his Rottweiler Tiny after them. In the field to the west of the building was a baseball diamond, and to the east was a construction area for an expansion that was due to be built onto the school. Work had just started on it, and the foundation had only been laid a couple of days ago.

Re: IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
Alvin stared at the creatures clawing at the fence. He gulped in fear. However he kept from losing it having seen awful things in Vietnam after all and he shouted at Kate, "Fire your weapon officer. Do it now!"

Re: IC-OMAHA-Strays(Kate/Alvin/Murray)
Murray rubs up against Alvin trying to comfort him. He then places himself between Alvin and the smell.

"Murry, its okay boy!" Alvin bent down to pet him and kind of moved him away from the fence a bit. "Get ready to run boy."
