Nikolai drew his Python aligning the three red dots, as he heard the SUV stop. He started pulling parts, simple stuff like radiator caps, hoses and what he could pull using only one hand, shoving them in a bag. He dropped as soon as Sergeant Booty Hunter barked the order 'Down!' "Why?" Nikolai retorted as he began to pull off the driver side mirror. "So what do you want? You come here to bitch me out and tell me that I should steal from an abandoned vehicle, inhabited solely by dead retards? How about no? I need parts and Advance don't sell parts for bendy buses. That reminds me. Have you seen any bendy buses lying around? I could use the parts. Or maybe I could interest in a fine fire arm? I have the widest selection in town!" Nikolai said hidden behind a front tire, his tail the only part of him visible, other then the tip of his revolver.

Marnie immediately grabbed Ali and dove to the ground behind her GMC. She looked at Ali and was a bit scared.

She nodded and whispered her address to her.

"306 Benton " she said. "Sure you can come by any time to talk" she whispered. "Who does this ass think he is?" she said jerking her thumb in the direction of the man grabbing parts from the car.

None of them were there to start anything. They were simply heading back to town. Clearly Deo and Ali were going off on their own. Marnie felt like she was being pushed over. Clearly Deo didn't like her but she didn't know why. It bothered her to think someone wouldn't like her. Hell no one was perfect.

In the world now, hate was the last thing they needed. If Deo didn't like Marnie, that was his issue but she was hoping at least she and Ali could be friends. Marnie needed some girl time with her, or at least become friends. She looked at Deo.

She pressed her body against the cold metal of her GMC, silently hoping neither of them got hurt, or for that matter, her truck.

Alison watched Geo drop to the ground and became quite puzzled. Confused as well. She had no idea what was going on until she noticed someone by a bus and what looked like a gun barrel pointed at them. She hid behind the car with Marnie. "Okay. I'll come by soon." She made a mental note of her address and knew that even if she forgot she would still find the place. Radicals had the insite to just about everything. "I have no idea." Ali peeked underneath the SUV back the guy spotted and realized this wasn't a stand off. "I think he's just harboring car parts." Which seemed popular lately and she was right as he yelled back at them. "I don't think we are any danger." At least she couldn't sense that they were. She stood from her position on the groun and walked around the SUV. Deo was probably going to yell at her for getting up but she was positive nothing would happen. She stepped towards the bus with little fear in the situation.

"We aren't turning you in. But do you think you can help us out? Marnie is looking for some car parts that maybe you can help her find." Alison mentioned as she looked back at Deo and the other blonde. She couldn't see the man from where she stood. He was far to under the vehicle but she could see what looked like a tail.

Nikolai heard one of them coming towards him. "Depends on what you drive. Now stop right there. Are you armed? If you are place any weapons you got on the floor and keep your hands up. I won't shoot anyone that isn't a threat. Got that Soldier Boy?!!" Niko shouted as he tried to pull the mirror out of his bag, to see who was approaching him. "I want the two of you behind the car to put your weapons away and walk towards me like she is. I don't want trouble. Just parts. Or a gun sale. If you're interested. I got lots" Nikolai said poking the mirror around the front of the bus.

[Darrea Kal]

He was quite proud of Marnie for getting them down so fast, but he didn't miss a beat, keeping his rifle aimed at the man. But he shouted back at he just wanted parts, Deo's eyes narrowed but gun didn't lower. If he just wanted parts then why was he pulling a gun on them? Suddenly Ali was up and walking towards the man. "Ali!" Deo hissed, making a grab for her and barely missing. Women... Yes they would be the death of him. He crouched back down, this time scooting over a bit so Ali wasn't anywhere near his line of fire. He heard asking the guy if he could give them a hand and slowly stood. He lowered his weapon, resting the butt on the ground and leaning on the hood of the car he had taken refuge behind. Won't shoot anyone that wasn't a threat? Generally that was his mandate as well, hence why he had pulled his firearm when he had seen a gun pulled on him.

Now he was demanding that they all put their weapons down and Darrea's smile increased. "This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine." he said almost to himself. He leaned forward, resting his chin on his well muscled arm and grinning at the guy under the vehicle. "Darlin, unless your Marlon Brando I'm gonna keep my weapons beside me and stand here like a good little boy" he said with a slight laugh. "Don't shoot at the girls or I and we won't have a problem, simple as that" he called. He turned his attention to Marnie and gave her an 'i got this' wink. Obviously his mood had lightened considerably. The adrenaline rush of a possible battle off did that to you.

"I'm Marlon Brando!" Nikolai quipped. "And don't call me darlin'. Marlon Brando doesn't have knockers. Now allow me to make you an offer you can't refuse on some firearms. How about it?" Niko said throwing a rather convincing dummy grenade at the soldier, before making a run to his bus, knocking down the blonde who came out of cover. He skid to the front of the bus and opened the doors. "Fire up the star drive cause here we go!" he said shutting and locking the doors. The bus roared to life and Niko went to the back end of his bus and opened up a large side window, setting up shop. "How'd you like the grenade?" he teased.

[Darrea Kal]

((gonna finish this thread up seeing as it's pretty much dead anyways))

Darrea chuckled as the guy shouted back that he was in fact Marlon Brando and not too call him darlin but insisted that he had a deal Darrea couldn't refuse on guns. Darrea had his guns all supplied by the US Army, his sergent freaked if he carried anything that wasnt standard issue. And then suddenly a granade was flying at him and Darrea was diving behind Marnie's vehicle, tucking rather expertly as he his the ground on the other side, rolling a bit then slamming his back against the vehicle and covering Marnie's head. But it didn't go off and ever so slowly Deo stood only o find the creature running to his bendy bus laughing, locking the doors. Darrea gave no response as he was asked how he liked the grenade, instead helped marnie to her feet. "You should go home before something else happens" he said gently before heading over to Alison. "I'm gonna take off before this guy starts throwing real granades..." he murmured to her with a shrug before turning and heading towards th city, hoping she would take the smart path and follow.

"Why would I blow up a potential customer? Go ahead keep the fake 'nade. It's a gift from me. C'mon. " he said as he watched the two head off in the sunset. "Ahhhh fuck you then" he growled before locked the bus up. He shut all the windows, shutters and doors, preparing to take off himself. He headed towards the 'bridge' of his vessel and took a seat in the 'captain's chair', starting the bus, which sprung to life with a low guttural growl, before is lurched forward, having been put in drive. Niko smiled as he pushed his way through the wrecked cars.

Marnie followed Deo out carefully, keeping close to Alison. She glared at the other man. He was freaking ape shit and off his rocker. The car part could wait. She had a backup back at home anyway.

She looked at Alison.

"Wow. That man is in serious need of zome protac or ridalin" she said shaking her head. If Derrick had been there, he would've been livid if Nikolai aimed to harm her.

She looked at Deo.

"The car part can wait. I have a back up car at home. Let's just get away from that psychopath" Marnie said shivering to herself.

She knew that because of the isolation at times, some people had a hard time dealing with the fact that human contact was limited. Most of the people were Re-Animated and not exactly able to hold conversations. Those that had turned into Zombies and still had their minds, those were scattered as well. It was a situation that Marnie knew could turn some crazy.

She headed over to her truck and turned to Ali and Deo.

"Anywhere I can drop you guys off? or take you somewhere?" she asked softly. Apparently, Deo seemed a bit more relaxed around Marnie now which was good. For a moment there, it seemed like he didn't like her. Which was fine. She could careless. But it didn't matter now. She glanced from Ali to Deo patiently.
