The sun had come up too quickly in Delilah's opinion, feeling the sun burning her pale face she slowly opened her eyes and sat up, looking down she smiled softly as the sight of 10k's arm resting around her waist and his sleeping body laying just above hers, she gently rubbed her thumb against his cheek to wake him up.

Whispering her morning 'hello' she stood from her position on the grass and grabbed the weapons that she had pulled from her clothes and body late last night, her sharp dagger (which she had officially taken from 10k) was placed back in it's (also stolen) sheath that sat around her waist.

Her arrow holder clipped around her body as some makeshift arrows were placed inside and ready for use when needed, hand gun had been safety locked and snuggled within the waist band of her jean, her bow that had started to become slightly worn down and in bad shape neatened around her body leaning against the arrow holder too.

She sighed loudly as she stretched, hearing all sorts of clicks from her bones, nudging Sketchy slightly with her foot, "Get up." She mumbled pulling her hair back from her face.

And they were set, everyone had what they needed in them and they were all awake, so they set off, following behind the scruffy bearded man as they trailed behind him walking through the fields.

"There you have it...opportunity presents itself just as I suspected." Sketchy laughed slightly as he walked further forward.

Hand in hand Delilah and 10k looked at Skeezy as he turned, side walking behind Sketchy as his grin widened, "I'm telling you, kid, you must be magic- there is no end to our good luck since we met you." Skeezy laughed slightly as they came across a truck, which Delilah looked at and frowned, "They had dentists on wheels?" She questioned, running her hand along the side of the truck, a big picture of a tooth plastered against the side.

"You bet they did darlin'" Sketchy smiled as he opened the door, allowing the girl in first, before getting in last and sitting in the drivers seat. The truck started with a quick grumble of the engine and off they went, Delilah and 10k crouched in the small back seats that were only really there to hold equipment inside, watching as they began to drive down a long straight road.

"Oh look!" Delilah pointed at three men stood in the middle of the street, a carton of some sorts sat in all three of the men's hands, smiles appearing on their faces as they waved at the four, pulling them over to the side.

All four gathered out of the truck, Delilah leaving her bow and arrows inside as to not creep or scare the men out, she ensured her thumbs looped with the belt hoops on the side of her jeans, close to where she kept her gun.

"Well we thought you mighta' run into some trouble." A man in blue and white said, a cheery tone and a smile on his face as he walked closer to the four, her eyes narrowed slightly as she glanced at 10k who didn't seem even a slight bit suspicious that the man was dressed rather fancy, and it seemed as though it was any other day in life instead of an apocalypse as they all sat around with drinks in hand, women wearing big hats to hide their faces from the sun.
