"Get down!" Joel commanded while remaining quiet, they followed. The three of them crouched behind a few crates, with Joel peeking to one side trying to get a good look at the surroundings.

Eleanore was trying to get a look too, glaring up at the buildings to make sure they werent being watched through them. She gripped her knife in her hand incase she had to use it.
"How many?" Tess questioned him. There was a pause before he answered so he could see if there were anymore men hidden.
"3 on this side. You?"
"2." Joel took out the clip of his gun, making sure he had ammo left. He put it back in and motioned at the two behind him to follow as he carefully creeped forward behind another few crates.

"You, think you can take one out?" Joel whispers in Eleanore's direction.
"Yeah. Ill get the one on the left." He nods, allowing her to sneak to another crate sitting a few feet ahead. She turns around to see Tess going to the other side of the base.

Eleanore waits until all three men on her side were facing the other direction. As quiet as she could, she made her way towards the man furthest away from the other two. Silently, she begins to stand up. She gets her knife ready as she puts her arm around the mans neck. She shifts it into his head as he tries to pull her off. She slowly lowers his body to the ground while pulling the knife from his skull. She turns around to look at Joel as he makes her way towards her quietly. They both crouch down behind the same crate.
"Not bad." She scoffs at his remark.

She watches the other two mens every move, waiting for them to seperate and when they do she does the same with the one closest to her. Finishing him with her knife. She leaves the other one for Joel and he goes over to him and strangles him to death from behind. They both look over the other side of the base to try and spot Tess. She was headed towards the two.
"Cmon, Roberts just in here." Tess walked past Joel and Eleanore , leading the way.

Just as they were about to turn the corner three men appeared.
"Tess. What the fuck are you doin here?"
"Stay behind us." Joel whispered to Eleanore .
"Looking for Robert." The man in the middle walks closer.
"Robert aint here right now." His eyes switching from Tess's and Joels, until they lock onto Eleanore's . "Whos that?" He looks her up and down suspiciously.
"Shes from back home-"
"Cmon now Tess, the girl can speak for herself." He says, slowly approaching even more, directly opposite to Elanor.

"Eleanore ." She announces. Her eyes shift down at his hand on his gun holster, as if hes preparing to end them right there in that moment. She looks back at his face, hoping that he didnt notice her expression change when she noticed the gun.
"How come I aint seen you before?" He gives a slight smirk.
"Listen Mark we'll just go-"
"No!" He interrupts Tess, raising his voice. "No." Before anybody can continue, all of their attentions were moved to the sound of a door opening. They all look to see a man start walking out of a building.
"I thought you said Robert wasnt here."
