She wiped the sweat from her brow, shrunk the fabric that hid her mouth and burned her nose from the atrocious smell of flesh, took off her gloves and threw them into her bag, which she placed on her shoulder. Lara watched the crackling fire, slowly disintegrating every bit of the infected dead, once humans like her... And like her sister and mother... The young woman looked away from the flames and moved forward to retrieve her ration tickets when a guard called out to her, her visor hiding her face preventing the Smith woman from seeing who she was talking to.
" Where do you think you're going ? " The man asked harshly, pointing his gun at her.
The woman frowned lost, was he sure he was talking to the right person?
"Go back to your work!"
Lara staring intently the man and crossed her arms on her chest, she knew it was risky to oppose the FEDRA soldier, but she takes the risk, he has already spent their time making slaves of the population and even after more than twenty hours of work was not enough ?
Fuck him! thought woman.
"You're kidding me !?" Asked the brunette.
The soldier brandished his weapon threatening Lara who took a small step back without letting go of the man, still her same icy blue gaze which was terrifying despite everything.
"Is do i look like i'm fucking kidding you bitch ?"
Lara's eyebrows rose in surprise at the man's searing disrespect. A voice cause that brought some curious eyes from the workers had come to hang on the two adults in the midst of an altercation. They probably thought Lara was crazy to stand up to the FEDRA man but if she didn't, no one would... No one would try to bring justice to their devastated world because now FEDRA justice was only more chaotic than the outside world.
The young woman took a breather before walking around the soldier. The man violently grabbed her arm, forcing her to retrace her steps before violently crushing the butt of his rifle on the pale face of the young woman, who fell back on the muddy ground. Lara moaned in pain and looked up at the soldier who was now ready to shoot her while she didn't unsheath in the least. Quick footsteps were heard before a hand rose between the man and the woman still on the ground.
"Don't shoot we're sorry ! Don't shoot."
The soldier lifted his visor revealing a familiar face, he was one of the corrupt soldiers who let Joel and Tess sneak out for half-price pills.
"Watch out for your girl Miller next time I kill her !"
The man turned away and Lara stood up swearing under her breath at the FEDRA man. The Smith woman wiped her muddy hands on her black jeans and glared at Joel.
"I didn't need your fucking help !"
The slightly gray haired man stared hard at the woman in front of him, still frowning as usual.
