The bearded man, his eyes narrowed and his jaw set, crouched down, his hand reaching for the ground.
With a swift, practiced movement, he grabbed a dagger, its blade glinting under the dim light.
He then tossed the weapon towards John, the dagger spinning through the air before landing with a thud in John's outstretched hand.
John's eyes widened in confusion, his grip tightening on the dagger.
He stared at the weapon, its sharp edge a stark contrast to the peaceful scene he had just witnessed.
Was this a life-or-death situation? Was he supposed to kill the bearded man, or was the bearded man planning to kill him? His mind raced, trying to make sense of the sudden shift in the atmosphere.
"What's with the dagger...?"
John finally managed to ask, his voice laced with uncertainty.
He cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure.
"Uhm... sir..."
A long silence stretched between them, the only sound the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Finally, the bearded man turned, his gaze piercing John's.
"It's just for protection,"
he said, his voice low and menacing.
"You never know, there might be... zombies... that would... come in and... Kill... You."
His words were clipped, almost threatening, leaving John with a growing sense of unease.

"Now..."
the bearded man continued, his voice taking on a more authoritative tone.
"You have to answer my question from earlier."
John, still struggling to grasp the situation, blinked in confusion.
"Pardon?"
he asked, his voice hesitant.
The bearded man's glare was immediate, his eyes narrowing as he stared down at John.
The tension in the air thickened, making John feel as if he was caught in the crosshairs of a predator.
"Oh, right!.. the question,"
John stammered, his mind racing.
"I almost forgot."
He felt a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, his heart pounding in his chest.
The dagger in his hand felt heavy, a constant reminder of the danger he was in.
