Red Vs. Blue: FF

Arc Four

"It's been a week," Tucker stated. Grif was poking at the ashes of the previous night's fire. Bored.

"What are we supposed to do," Simmons shrugged.

"I don't know, but we can't just keep sitting here doing nothing," Tucker huffed.

"What if we get attacked," Doc asked.

"By what," Grif asked in return.

"Those zombies," Doc responded.

"I'm pretty sure that guy in charge of them is dead," Tucker stated.

"Are you sure," Doc asked.

"Redding beat him with his own fucking arm. We're pretty sure," Grif retorted.

"We should go somewhere," Tucker continued his previous thought.

"We can't move Carolina yet," Washington added, bouncing his foot restlessly.

"Who says," Tucker asked.

"I do," Thumper said, joining the group. Houston was still in her tent, Carolina in her own, and Sarge and Skye where still off on their own. The others were simply passing time. Waiting. Sarge popped up for meals, but was absent the rest of the time. Skye wouldn't even move from her spot.

"How's your head," Washington asked.

"Recovery is just fine," Thumper answered, "The headache has cleared, and my balance has returned. Should be 100% fairly soon."

"And Carolina," Washington pressed.

"It looks like the bone was properly reset before healing started. It'd have been hell to re-break it," Thumper said, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, none of us would've helped hold her," Grif stated. Thumper looked at him. "I don't want her killing me," Grif quickly added, "And you said you're out of that medicine stuff you used to knock her out with."

"That's a bigger problem than you think," Thumper said pointedly, "But I was referring to the fact that her femur is the afflicted bone. Which might I add is the strongest bone in the human body and is definitely not easily broken."

"Oh," Grif responded.

"But, yes, my reserves for that serum are currently empty," Thumper continued, "Which is a big problem."

"How so," Simmons questioned.

"It was designed to calm and contain Redding," Thumper answered, "So, think about that." The others didn't need clarification.

"So, we're all fucked if Redding loses it," Tucker shrugged.

"Yes," Thumper answered.

"Then we just don't let her," Tucker pointed out.

"You make that sound easy," Thumper chuckled, "And you wouldn't be the first to suggest that."

"Am I the first to suggest Caboose," Tucker asked.

"You just want to get out of babysitting duty, don't you," Grif questioned.

"No, really, think about it," Tucker said.

"She has already demonstrated an attachment to Caboose," Washington added.

"Exactly," Tucker stated, "So maybe Caboose can help her stay calm!" Tucker turned to Caboose, "Ready to keep Redding happy?"

"Yes," Caboose responded cheerily.

"It might help," Thumper said cautiously.

"I still suggest space for now," Church interjected.
