The cold desert air whipped against Zero's face. The only light Zero had to work with was the pale light of the full moon. He shoved a metal pole with a camera and motion senor attached to the top into the sand. He shook it to make sure it was secure. "Zero? You there?" his radio crackled. Zero put a finger to his earpeice. "Yeah, I'm here, go ahead," he said. "All that smoking's slowing you down, you got the sentries up yet?" the voice on the radio asked. "Just one more, then I'm heading back to the convoy," Zero said. Zero got to his feet and heard a sound behind him. He whirled around and aimed his weapon at the source. "Who' s there?!" he demanded.

Sarah aimed her .44 magnum at the man's head. She was just out of his viewing range, she knew. She could see him, but he couldn't see her. "Drop your weapon!" She called out, and quickly moved to another spot so that he couldn't find her by her voice.
She didn't want to have to do this, but she was starving, and had no way of knowing this man was sane or friendly. She needed his food and things.
Before the nightmare had begun, Sarah had been a peace-loving hippie so-to-speak. She didn't believe in guns, and she tried never to hurt anything ever.
But things had changed.
All the people were gone, and she could take anything she wanted from the towns. In the day that was. She strolled through the towns, and into the well-lighted stores, taking designer clothes and bags, even expensive cars, and no one cared or tried to stop her.
Sarah had always known that she had the capability to become hard like she was now, but she ignored it. There had been no need to bring that part of her to the surface...until now.

"Okay Zero," Zero's radio crackled. "Moniter is up and.....hey is something wrong?" the voice on the radio said. Zero put his finger on the earpiece. "Windows, we've got a possible survivor out here, can't tell if it's frendly or hostile, get Snips and PJ out here," he said. "Alright, hang tight, they're on the way," the voice identified as 'Windows' said. " Whoever's there, identify yourself!" Zero said.

Sarah grimaced. He wasn't going down easily. She would've laughed, but it wasn't really the time. She started making a silent continual circle around him as she replied, "I said drop your weapon!"

"Alright," Zero said and laid his G36 on the ground. "Now what do you want, if your friendly you won't get hurt, I'm from the convoy Zhu's Hope,"

Sarah raised her eyebrows in the darkness. She was surprised, but still cautious. However she did step into the circle of light, gun still raised. "Zhu's Hope?" Sarah inquired. She needed more information before she trusted this man completely.

"It's the name of the convoy I'm from. We can provide food, shelter security," Zero started. The sound of weapons cocking was heard. "Don't you move!" a man's voice said. "Windows told us you could use a hand," a girl said.

Sarah whirled her head around, grimacing. She knew she shouldn't have revealed herself so soon! Her hands shook as she held her gun.
Even if what this man said was true, and they were friendly, it wouldn't matter. She had already threatened one of their people, and there was no way they'd trust her now. She was surrounded, and she would probably die here.

Zero picked up his G36. "Just toss your weapon over here, it's alright," the girl said. She was African-American and had an M1911 on her. Zero went over to the two who had just showed up. "I think she's alright. If she wanted to kill me she would've done so at the get-go," he said.

Sarah wondered if she should try to get out by shooting randomly at everything and everyone she could, but then she figured, "Well, I have three options, do that and most likely die, taking others out with me, go peacefully and die, or...they're telling the truth, and I live." She narrowed her eyes and threw her gun to the girl, as it slid through the sand, Sarah thought with a tiny wince, "I'm going to have to clean that out later."
She stood absolutely still, with only her eyes moving from person to person, wondering what they would do.

The other boy, a caucasin, picked up Sarah's gun. "Okay, Snips, search her," he said. The African-American Girl walked over and started patting Sarah down. "Relax, they did this to me too, when they found me," she said and finished. "It's okay, she's clean," she looked directly into Sarah's eyes. "Okay first, tell me your name," she said.

A figure had been watching the set up of the little convoy that was settling for the night. It was just out of range for the monitors, basically hiding with the odd peek over the occasional sand hill around the convoy. It was being very careful in making sure it stayed undetected for the time being, but it finally got as close as it could and managed to listen. They were distracted with this new girl, Sarah, and the figure's crimson eyes burned with the blood it hadn't been drinking. Killing humans was accepted, widely, as vampires were basically the rulers of the planet now. It had been following this convoy for only a few hours, intending to devour it one by one, because there was nothing else for it to do that would satisfy the hunger.
The figure drew in a ragged breath, trying to get as little of the human scent as possible, and stood to walk the opposite way they were. The monitors were on, it knew that. A gust of wind blew through the convoy and toward the vampire, and it stiffened with the smell. A soft growl escaped it's lips as it's cloaked body started to turn back to them but tried to stop itself. There were still plenty of convoys out there to stalk, and this one seemed well armed and not worth dying over for a meal... but that smell... was just... so overpowering. It made the turn, knowing it was walking into it's death, but it didn't care anymore. It had wasted too much time already.
Another gust of wind and it smelled something that made it wrinkle it's nose. Zombies, not many, but there were some coming. That horrid stench of death and rotting flesh was something humans could smell, but it was too far and faint for them to pick up right now. Even when they did, they wouldn't know how many there was. If it couldn't win, there would be a way to get on their good side. It would have to help them, and maybe even be able to get safety from the sunlight with them, then get back to the original plan the next night. It stared at the group, specifically the one closest to it who had been setting the perimeter. Seemed like a good target to start. It's body was still completely hidden by the cloak and it was genderless to the group, for now.

Sarah said stiffly, "Sarah Walker." She offered no more information about herself, she just answered the question.
She was burning with questions about these people, like "Why did they all have nicknames," "What were they doing in the desert," "Who were they?" but she held it in for now. In time, if things went well, she would find out.
That was another thing Sarah had learned from the world changing. Patience.

"Okay Sarah," Zero said. "As I said, we're from a convoy, we can provide food, shelter, and protection. Are you interested in being a part of it?" he asked.

The vampire moved closer and closer, wondering when the monitors were going to go off and betray it's position. It should have been done already, but they all seemed to be acting normal. It hadn't heard anything over the little radios they had, so it kept creeping closer until it was about thirty feet from the monitor and the group. Even they should be able to see it now.
