Act 4 - A : Comrades, Friends, and Enemies

"...I'm the last friend you have in this world!" - Mary

They stand at the familiar crossroads once again. The tire marks, the burnt out campfire, and the distant moaning of the dead are exactly as they remembered a day ago. Antonio explained the plan was to rob what supplies the church had, and leave the survivors they agreed to protect to their own misery. He did not anticipate himself to be left behind. His gang had a separate building complex apart from the survivors they enslaved. It is about a few hundreds feet apart. That particular building also served as a warehouse for their supplies. Salomon and his men should still be there, if they haven't left already.

"We'll be out numbered." Samuel states.

"No shit." Natasha comments. "Do you think they're still there? We're probably too late if they already left..." She asks the question out loud.

"Okay boss-woman, here we are. What's your next move?" Antonio grins, staring at Mary, as if mocking her.

As they come to the end of the road, Trisha feels as if she is the only one that doesn't recognize the area. Her attention falls on the large building not too far in the distance, assuming that to be the place Antonio described to them.
She listens as the others voice their concerns, but only speaks up when Antonio asks for answers from Mary.

"Shut up! This ain't on her, this is on you. That's the whole point we ain't killed you yet." She snaps at him, before softening her voice and stepping closer to the man.
"What would you do? Since you're so clever and all." She asks in the same mocking tone.

Mary ignores Antonio, silently regarding Salomon's campground. She hadn't been able to explore the area fully the last time she was here; while she feels fairly comfortable with the geography and buildings, she's not familiar with the people within.

Mary smiles slightly as Trisha speaks, glancing over at Antonio. She cares little for his opinions and doesn't trust anything he says, but hearing Trisha tear into him is its own reward. Leaning over, Mary speaks quietly and quickly to Samuel.

"How many and how good are they?" she asks. "Any more like you, or just idiots with guns and instructions? Will they be out and about? How loyal are they to Solomon, anyway?"

"Me?" Antonio's grin widens. "I would take you with me, walk up and say hi. Then I'll introduce the pretty girl to them." He casually replies. Its not clear if he's serious.

"Without me and Antonio, there's ten. They're their own people, don't expect any of them to sit and wait in the building." Samuel replies with relatively the same volume as Mary. "They know how to shoot, and kill, we take the best killers." He takes a brief pause before answering Mary's last question. "As loyal as we are to you right now."

"Yes, you were the best of the best when I came by here last night," Mary tells Samuel dryly, giving Terry a knowing glance. She looks back at the camp and thinks for a moment.

"You're loyal to us for the sake of someone you're trying to protect," she remarks, looking back at Samuel. "Antonio's loyal because it saves his skin. How many of them are as loyal as you, and how many are as loyal as him?"

Park Cross Road

"Two of them are siblings, the gang protects them both, and they will keep each other safe. The others stay because we're stronger than they are alone." Samuel answers. "If you're thinking about tearing them apart from the inside, forget about it. You have nothing they want."

The last few hours have felt like a blur to Buford. He struggled to understand the conflict he volunteered to get himself caught up in. As the others talked it was all Buford could do not to take out his notepad and instinctively right everything that was being said down. Alot of information was being passed around but he still didn't have a clue. This was a familiar feeling...

He looked over to Mary as being the only familiar face out of the group. "Excuse me, a moment? How many people are we rescuing here? Is this place small, just ten of them in a single building?" He asks.

"I ain't joking. What's it gonna take to make them give us Mina back?"
She seems to have grown tired of fooling around, knowing that the playful banter will not bring her any real answers.
"That guy you said. The one that got her. If he's the boss now, how do we get to him? How mad would the others get if we killed him?""

"It's a bit bigger than that," Mary tells Buford. "Building, fence, guard tower, tents for their prisoners. There's sure to be someone in the guard tower now. We're here to rescue Mina, a little girl, and Sam's here to rescue Samantha. They have other prisoners, but I don't know them."

She eyes Sam again. "How likely are they to cut and run if things get rough? Would any of them run off if we plink away at them from the forest? Would they panic if we killed Solomon, as Trisha said?"

Antonio shrugs. "You can try trading your stuff for her, we like stuff. Everyone likes stuff, yeah?"he eyes Trisha down with her last question, as if she's wearing a string of cheese as a necklace. "Girl, you saw happened with me, same thing will happen if you kill him. Someone else makes the call."

Sam looks to Mary. "If shit goes sideways, they all run. They don't split up. Someone gets killed, someone else takes their place. Doesn't matter who."

Trisha frowns at his suggestion, throwing her empty hands into the air.
"Y'all took all our stuff! There ain't nothin' they don't got already."
She huffs and rolls her eyes before glancing over at Mary, as if contemplating something.
"I mean..." Her eyes drift back to Antonio. "We got a tiny bit of, I think coke, but not enough to buy a kid."

Buford watched the others talk of what to do. Mary had painted a dire scene for him. These people weren't cops, they weren't trained. What could they do?

"Back in my day when we had people held up under siege... W-they used sounds, noises, music to dislodge them. We did it in Panama, played the worst kinda rock you ever heard for hours straight until they gave up." He said outloud, not talking to anyone in  particular.

"Those walkers are attracted to noise, make enough noise, get enough walkers and I'd imagine they wouldn't hold onto the place for long. We'd have to act fast in that confusion but they wouldn't pay any mind to prisoners while they're trying to get their equipment and bug out." He said, shrugging. "Just a thought, doesn't sound like we can exactly clear them out ourselves."

Crossroads

Antonio laughs when he sees the pack of white powder. "Oh shit girl, that's what we've been giving Timmy." He then nods. "Yeah, we don't touch that shit. Its bad for you, yeah? Reeva's hooked on that shit, and she's all fucked up."

"There are a lot of ghouls in these woods," Mary says, turning to Buford. "All the same, I'm not sure we can panic them. They have good, strong fences to keep them out. I think they'd be safer holding their ground than bugging out."

She eyes the bag of powder in Trisha's hand, intrigued by Antonio's words. "So that's how you controlled Tim, is it? You know, he's still in there. Maybe if we could get a word with him, in private, we could use that as leverage. He'd be our man on the inside, if we played it right."

She addresses Sam again. "How many prisoners are there? You know, people like Samantha. How much freedom do they have? Do you think they'd be willing to help us?"

"A handful. They're not allowed to leave, and they're not armed. They might be willing to help, but all you're going to accomplish by getting them involved is getting civilians killed." Samuel states bluntly. "There's no time to get them organized, Salomon's probably taking everyone to leave as we speak if they haven't ditched this place already."

"Dammit."
Trisha grumbles to herself as she stuff the bag down her shirt. The more Sam and Antonio reveal what they know of the camp, the more hopeless the situation starts to feel.
"Well we gotta do somethin' fast. Unless they all want ten blowjobs all in a row, we ain't got nothin' to get 'em to deal."
She looks across at the building once more, searching the area around it for a way to approach without being seen. Feeling unsure, she wanders aloud on her idea, hoping someone else will step in with a little more direction.
"Think we could get up in a window and sneak in there? Do they got much guys on watch?"

Mary studies Sam out of the corners of narrowed eyes.

"You know, Sam," she says slowly, "you speak like you've already got a plan of your own. What would you do? You're the only one here that knows anything about this place or these people, after all."

Cross Roads

From this distance, its impossible for Trisha to see who might be standing in the watch tower. In fact, she can't even see the watch tower with all the greens in the way.

Antonio shrugs. "Normally I put two on watch. They're packing up to leave so they're probably all outside."

Samuel doesn't respond to Mary's question immediately. After a moderate pause, he simply states "I wouldn't attempt a rescue in broad daylight and outnumbered. I would follow them and see where they go, then try my luck."

Act 4 - A : Comrades, Friends, and Enemies

Mary weighs her options. She'd penetrated the forest up to the camp without being detected before, and she feels she can do it again. When she was spotted, it was by Sam, and despite what he says, she doesn't think there's anyone else in the camp as eagle-eyed as him.

She's about to run off and trying surveying the camp from the forest, as she had before, when something occurs to her. She turns towards Antonio, a scowl forming on her face.

"Wait a minute," she growls. "If they're moving, why would they even take Mina with them? She's a little girl. She can't do any work for them, and if they leave, they can't bargain with us for her."

She gives Terry and Trisha a meaningful look, then steps towards Antonio. "Why did you take her in the first place?"
