Kyle's head throbbed as he woke up. He glanced around, noting that he wasn't outside in the snow. He sat up, more alert. He placed his hand on the back of his head, feeling a bump where he was hit.
  He was in a room similar to one in a hospital. He had blankets over him, and there was a heater going. He muttered to himself as he rubbed the back of his head, swinging his legs off the bed he was on.
  He stood up and went to the window, the curtains shut. He moved one to the side, only slightly, to peer outside. He watched as a few figures walked around, some standing by small contained fires. They all looked... well-dressed and normal. He leaned back from the window, confused.
¨Surprised?¨ A voice spoke from behind him. He jumped and spun around, getting ready to fight. He lowered his fists, seeing it was Pip.
¨...How are you alive? I thought you and Damien were dead... what is this place?¨ He looked around the room again.
¨We had found a place, but... we were ambushed and taken out. Then... I woke up here.¨ Pip sighed. ¨I don't know what this place is... but it has people. It has food, water, shelter- and guns. It's a fortified sanctuary.¨
  Kyle looked at him, then walked to the door, looking into the hall.
¨Damien and Stan are still passed out. I've checked on them a few times. Stan was noted to have hypothermia and the flu, a worse strain of it.¨ Pip spoke, watching him.
¨I knew he had the flu, but hypothermia...? I wouldn't be surprised if I had it- I was the one in the cold, not him.¨ Kyle turned back to him. Pip shrugged, sliding past him into the hall.
¨Come along, Kyle.¨ He said as he walked. Kyle watched him for a moment, hesitant to follow after. He glanced both ways down the hall before slowly walking.
  Pip glanced back at him, ¨There's no reason to be cautious, Kyle. We're safe here.¨
¨Still good to be cautious...¨ Kyle muttered. They walked past a few doors, some open and some shut. ¨Where's Stan and Damien?¨ He asked.
¨ They're both down the other way.¨ Pip said, staring forward.
¨Where are we going?¨
¨Wendy asked for me to bring you to her once you woke.¨
¨Wendy-? Wendys here...?¨ Kyle stopped walking. Pip glanced back at him.
¨She is the one who found you.¨ Pip said. Kyle glanced at the ground. A feeling he couldn't figure out washed over him for a moment.
¨Let's go.¨ Pip said, walking again. Kyle followed after him after a moment.
¨...how long was I out for?¨ Kyle asked, looking forward at Pip.
¨I'm not entirely sure, but when you were brought here, you remained passed out for a few hours, seven to be exact.¨
  Kyle scoffed, ¨Seven hours?¨
¨You were hit in the head by a gun, pure metal material, and a hefty swing to deliver the blow.¨ Pip looked back at him.
  Kyle reached his hand back and rubbed the back of his head.
