Robert walked with Mia carrying her at times, he keep her safe. He took note it was soon get dark so he took to finding safty he found a church and after making sure it was all clear he found something to brace the doors so no unwanted walkers would show up. He than started looking around he found a bible that he picked up with some candles, after that he found an area that was like a storage room as well a later that lead to another storage room or that. Robert took to the going up high where he could not be take off guard & only hand one area to watch. He told Mia to stay here where it would be safe when he got some fire wood for the night. For he found some cans to use for the fire to keep it from burning the place down. Returning later he had wood, to use for the night as well tied
Once he had started a fire with the items he had to help keep the place with a bit of light as well some heat yet would not get spotted. Now Mia was a sleep with some blankets he found, he took to being in sight of the area that lead to the latter so he could take care of anything. His pistol was in hand, he dosed off & on waking when a sound would come making him alerted. A sound later in the night woke him, he was not sure right off what it was yet he moved closer to the latter to see if he saw or heard anything, making sure not to give himself away & that he did not get to close to the edge.
She preferred being carried. Mia had been doing a lot more walking lately than she was accustomed to. She did understand however that Robert was not young and that he got tired too. So she walked... Mia was a good kid. Even before all this had started, she had never been one to whine and complain a lot. She had been spoiled, yes, but Mia knew that life was not easy.
When they found this place, she had been scared to go inside. She had held tight to Robert's hand as if her life depended on it. There had been a time when she was very afraid of him. The day after her parents had died. She had been dehydrated and starving. Robert had come along like an Angel. A scruffy, older angel. It had taken time to coax her out of the car. Mia had been afraid the stranger would hurt her.
Now she had followed him up into the loft and before long was out. It was the noise that had woken her. Mia was a very light sleeper now. She almost did not trust the world enough for her to close her eyes. Robert had said he would watch over her though. When the noise came, Mia's eyes fluttered open and she looked around in the dim light. She could see Robert but did not dare to move just yet.

Robert was alert for any other sound, he could see little since it was dark yet he had cheeked the place for any way in that a walker could get through and none was found. Other good thing being where they where walkers could not climb at least not yet something he hopped they never did learn or this was over by that time. Yet that did not mean a walker would not find a soft spot in the building or it could be some one else he was not sure at the moment the worse of the two, likely the last since he knew Mia would be safe if he left her to cheek on it.
He did not want to leave, but if it was someone else or a walker he did not wish to risk that chance they could harm them. Since he heard nothing he moved back to grab some items before he moved closer to Mia "It will be alright stay here, I will be back I promise you that" With that he moved to leave using his stealth & skills to listen for what was around, he made sure to make no sound as defended the latter. Once down he moved across the other part of the storage it was only than he turned on his light attacked to a device that could go over his head allowing him to have two free hands as well allow him to see better.
Moving silently checking for the source of the sound, oddly it was a moan of a sound behind him that made the hair raise on his neck as he leveled his pistol at the sound before he fired. The sound of the gun shot ranging out through the place, like some deadly chime of an old forgotten bell its tone. As the shell got thrown out of the chamber to hit the ground with no sound due to the blast of the shot.
It had been a walker, he shot it in the head & moved to make sure it was dead the blood coming from it, made it clear it was. Now he looked around to see if anything else was around any other walkers, seeing none he moved to cheek the walker for anything thing useful before turning to leave as he walked he heard a sound again to his right & as he moved to turn to the sound he was blind sided his gun sliding out of his hand to the ground with a clatter.
At least it was not a walker but, a person could be just as bad or worse since it was clear they where out to harm so a fight broke out, he was wearing his knife just now he could not reach it but, his left hand the brass knuckles on it as he fought with the person & they tumbled around the floor Robert was able to throw them over his shoulder before swung down with his left into the person until they quite fighting. After that he pinned them on their side before stretching their arm back & used his weight to keep them from getting the other hand out from under them as well his straight to keep his arm pulled back to the point it was almost breaking as he spoke "What are you doing here?"
He was not trusting & this person he trusted even less, now if he had his gun he would have shot them yet now he did not so he waited for them to speak it best be good or else the person best know how to fix a broken arm. Robert did not mind breaking it his frame of mind now was to that point, that the man as he could see now with his light he had bled & he thought he was whimpering yet Robert did not let go of him not yet, he would make sure they left if he did or kill them for not. Looking at the man again he spoke "You best speak now before I lose my temper"
Rick had gone out on a run by himself whilst the others hid in another house. He was out exploring, trying to find food or at least water for the others. Last night was sleepless for him as he said he was going to take watch. He entered another house, knocking to see if there were any walkers and if there was they would be attracted to the sound. He heard a moan coming from somewhere however it did not seem that near him as he went to one room searching the cupboard for supplies. His knife was tight in his hand as he heard footsteps, not sounding like a walker in his mind. He was a lot more cautious and gripped it tighter.
Rick headed to another room and switch to his pistol as he heard a gunshot, another human being here was not so much a problem depending how they reacted to seeing him, after all he had already killed three other people who crossed him, "Identify yourself." He shouted whilst pinning himself to a wall, part of him regretting not going with someone else on this run. The person did not seem to respond and he placed his gun away and charged into the strangers side, knocking them both to the ground.
They fought on the floor until the person grab his arm and shoved it back, close to breaking point. Rick let out a hiss as he felt his arm pulling and the sharp pain that run through it. He struggled as he tried throwing his weight around to knock the person off of him, as he struggled he could feel his arm going closer to the point of breakage and stopped. He spat out blood onto the floor, breathing heavily.
"Surviving like the rest of those who aren't walkers." He replied to the person question, he either was an idiot or just playing as the idiot. "Now will you get the hell off me." It wasn't a question it was more of a demand. He was ready to kick with his legs to turn around and try bringing the ball in his court. A broken arm was the least of his worries right now.

Robert did not get the chance to speak to Rick's words before they found themselves as they where now with the mans words he listened thinking about it "You are the one who jumped me first not the other way around" He looked for other people seeing none before he looked for his gun first before he moved to get off the man grabbing it. Turning back to face the man, he had to keep calm he did not want to give this man a reason to think he was not alone so that Mai would be safe.
Yet he did not wish to hang around with this man to long ether for he wanted to get back to Mia not really carrying about this man, other that the man left so he did not have to worry about why he was really here. "Kind of late for wandering around" He watched Rick encase he tried anything as well listened for any sound of someone else being around he would kill to keep himself safe as well Mia so he was on his toes.
Putting his gun away deciding to not pose more threat than he already might have come across to the man even if he thought the man started it, of course he still was not trusting of the man yet that was his nature now he knew that such a thing was what keep him alive. If Rick did not speak he would leave him be to go on his way, so that he could go on his own way. "So what brings you to my door steeps as people say" With that he was not sure what Rick would say yet he would give him a chance before parting ways sense to know the answer would give him more to work with before they parted ways.
She did as she was told and Mia remained up in the loft. At least for a long while. She could hear the other person moving through the building somewhere but could not see him. When the scuffle began, Mia at first crawled backward until she was hidden in the shadows of the corner. Her little face was a mask of seriousness beyond her time. Before long however, when Robert did not return to her, she was still frightened but if it was a Walker, Mia wanted to see.
Silent as a mouse, she moved to the ladder and then headed down to the floor below. She was unarmed and just a little girl but Mia did not stop to consider the danger. She moved through the dark rooms towards the voices she could soon hear. Hiding partially behind the doorway, Mia watched the fight for power. The stranger was a scruffy looking man. Mia was weary of any strangers and he was not any different.
When the fight seemed to be over, Mia slowly moved a little more into view. She still had not spoken. Was just watching the men. She shyly tucked her blond hair behind her ears and waited. Not really to be noticed but just to see what would happen.

Robert did not know Mia was close by he focused on the man before him, he was not trusting he could not be. He was waiting for Rick to act or to speak yet so far he had not so he just was left to wait encase he had to acted his focus was on the man still watchful of the man.
After the fight Robert was breathing hard yet he was mindful, he did not think or more he hopped Rick would not try anything after what had happen. Robert would kill to keep Mia safe as well himself yet he did not see it coming to such things now. "I am still waiting for an answer or does the cat have your tong?"
