The man walked forward. "Why are you here? What do you want?" he asked. "A chance." Rick said. "That's asking an awful lot these days." The man replied. "I know." Rick said. The man examined our group. Scared, fearful, determined, worried filled the eyes of our group.

"You all submit to a blood test. That's the price of admission." He said. "We can do that." Rick said. The man dropped his gun. "You got stuff to bring in, you do it now. Once this door closes it doesn't open again." He said, walking forward.
