Thread: No Good Deed | Lewd Misconduct x Kaigen

Tim was mostly quiet while she ran through her thoughts out loud but when she thanked him he looked her in the eye and gave a little smirk. But despite his cocky half grin his dark eyes had a timeless look to them. A knowledge of decades of hardship. A dozen or so deployments before deciding hed seen enough ugliness and death left a scar on his soul that was clearly evident in those dark orbs though there was still a hint of humanity in them that as slowly waning with the current state of the world. Years of deployments also meant years of liberty in Spain, South America, Germany, and a half dozen other separate places. There he and his men did what Marines did. Drank and slept with about any woman with a pulse. Knowing that tomorrow could mean months in the desert or some unnamed jungle meant they had to take every moment of comfort offered to them. So drinking came as second nature. Even at the rate he drank the whiskey he considered smooth he knew he wouldn't be affected much. So he again nodded when she mentioned the size difference between them knowing that she wouldn't likely handle the strong liquor as well as him. Its rye whiskey. Them shows about making shine spurred a bunch of distillers to make legal stuff. Smells horrible. But I like it better than bourbon or scotch. But this brand been making it for a hundred years. Nobody seemed to care for it much till then shows come on. Ten years ago ya could get a fifth fer fifteen bucks. Now it's, He paused and chuckled. Well before this shit happened it jumped to sixty a fifth. Good shit though. as he spoke he looked at the ornate glass bottle with its crisp edges and corked top with its finely printed label. Templeton Rye. When she offered him the jar he shook his head and reached into his pack which produced a gallon sized zip lock bag of jerky which he opened and offered her a thick piece. Venison. He exclaimed before taking a bite of the lightly seasoned smoked jerky then continued to speak to answer her question about the building. I noticed that they also kinda like light. Few months ago some of the country folk that turned kept showing up at night. But after I boarded up my Windows they stopped coming round. I figure we catch that place on fire bout dusk and they'll flock to it like a moth to flame. Maybe they're dumb enough to walk right into it. As he spoke he couldn't help but look at her bruised face. Though she looked like a mess now he had a difficult time banishing the image of her licking the plastic knife. Today was the first day in what seemed forever that his libido kicked in. He was so busy simply surviving that it never entered his mind. Not until he saw her strapped down to the table. And now that it kicked in He found himself having a hard time banishing the thoughts and images. So he shifted and looked out toward the south where his truck was parked. My trucks bout a mile and a half that way. I figure if they do like the light then we can get down that fire escape over there. Probably won't be able to get out the way we come in. Even if they do like light. There's four warm bodies inside they'll be eating on. He knew that even if everything went perfect it wouldn't be easy. Moving that distance through town at night with an overcast sky was difficult enough without eaters roaming the streets. And here they were gathered. Sure it would get easier the further out they got. But even then it was easy to get caught up by someone lurking in the shadows. You gonna be able to keep up? he finally asked after taking another drink from the bottle. She looked like she was in fairly good shape. But had probably had a harder time than him. He had a warm place to sleep every night and hadn't missed a meal since this whole thing started. She seemed as if she spent the entire time on the run. Or so he assumed.
