[ Ennis and Jack are a few hundred meters off base, and they're leading a horse with them. There's one small problem: they're surrounded by zombies.

Will they make it to the Compound? That my friends, is up to you. ]

Jack... [ a worried edge to his voice ] That was my last bullet.

[ Ennis nods, spurring the horse on. She's scared at first, but she trusts Ennis' steady hands and manages to put some distance between them and the zombies. ]

..What was it, Jack?

[fuckinrealgood]

[ Jack doesn't dare look back and holds on for dear life as the Compound comes closer. ]

What was what?

action

[cantbewithhim]

Tell me what you were gonna say. Might be your only chance.

action

[fuckinrealgood]

[ he tightens his hold and buries his head in Ennis' back. it's muffled but audible. ] I love you.

action

[cantbewithhim]

[ he grunts but doesn't respond, letting the reigns drop for a moment as he has to beat a zombie back with his gun, nearly dropping it in the process ]

Thought it would be that. [ he says softly, picking the reigns back up and doing his best to get the horse moving again ]
