When Alexander kept his hands in his pocket Robert sighed and thought to himself 'What an arrogant prick...'Robert then pulled his hand back and shook his head "No that's what someone who cares does. If you don't care about your friend's that much that's fine, I was simply offering to stick to the shadows and find your men...If that's what an idiot would do then by god I am the biggest idiot there is...I'd put my life on the line for a stranger in a heartbeat. That's what men do..They look out for the weak!" he snapped on that last line. Something his father used to say to him quite frequently as a kid. Robert gave the man one last look and crept back into the room he had just searched peeking out the window to watch the movement of the infected.

Alexander clenched his hands into fist as Robert replied to his rude comment. Granted Alex knew it was rude but in this world one could not be completely nice. He rolled his blue eyes and let out a snort. Then he watched as Robert crept back into the room he had emerged from. Alexander slowly followed into the room and crouched low, looking out the window in at the world outside. Stupid creatures. How could something that used to be a human being turn in such a way and become a monster? "When you work for a group trying to find a cure, you want to be apart of the list of names when they discover things. You want to be remembered in a time when everyone else won't be. Eventually you'll be forgotten, everyone will be forgotten, except for those who have a written story that everyone can see. Not only that but I don't want people to have to live in a world like this forever. I want to live long enough to see a change, a change that I can help provide. All of the people in the Fireflies knows the risk and we know what we must do. If it was just a normal group of friends I ran around with I would be out there looking for them. We are all equipped to get through tough situations and we have orders to meet up back at base if we fall apart." He replied.
