[She nods, her hand on the kitchen knife at her belt.]

Alright.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He glances down at her weapon, nodding approvingly.]

Good. You stay close to me, okay, and yell if you see anything.

[His steps are quiet, trying not to attract attention from anyone or anything that might be roaming the streets tonight.]

[horseish]

[She stays close. One run-in with her father in one night is enough for her.]

Do you think they are the real people or monsters who look like them?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I don't think they're real. I think they're created by the City to scare us or hurt us.

[At least, he hopes they're not real. Then he has to be the guy that shot Bobby's father, and that's never good.]

[horseish]

[Better you than her, Meyer.]

He looked like he was already dead. He isn't dead at home.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Then I think there are two possibilities.

[He quickens his pace slightly.]

Either he isn't real, or he's died at home, and somehow been brought here.

[horseish]

I don't know who'd kill him at home. I have the gun and Jocelyn would never use it on him.

[She's still looking around her all the time, still shaking like a leaf.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm not sure, either, but I think the best thing to do is stay inside until all of this blows over.

[horseish]

Until they start getting inside, too.

[She picks up her pace to stay a little closer.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

If they start coming inside, we'll have to find a different way to fight them off. Are you a good shot?

[horseish]

I've never tried before.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I don't want to alarm you, but you might be finding that out sooner rather than later.

[horseish]

Can you teach me?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Sure, when do you wanna learn?

[horseish]

What about now?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I can't think of a better time, given the circumstances.
