We had been waiting for quite a while. The lack of action had allowed the tiredness from staying up all night to catch up to me. I passed out, taking a short nap until I awoke fully rested again. When I came to, I heard the injured male across the room groaning in pain. Paula walked in the door seconds later. Tuning back into the situation, I heard Maggie speak up upon seeing the males worsening state.

"He doesn't have 30 minutes" Maggie informed the ginger. I shifted my gaze to the male were I could see the reason for concern. He looked like shit with his arm being the worst part. He had surely been loosing a lot of blood without proper treatment of the wound.

"She's right" I whisper causing Maggie to turn towards me "his nerves are dying" I informed, remembering what little medical stuff my grandpa had taught me. A yawn escaped my lips as Paula turned from Maggie, to me.

"If he doesn't get medical help he's gonna loose his arm, maybe his life" Maggie pointed out,  "I'm not a doctor but my dad lost his leg and I know that much." She said. Paula looked at Maggie looking like she was with a loss for words.

"Your guy Primo, you think he can help you?" Maggie asked. No response. Maggie continues, "its time to end this, talk to Rick" she pleaded. Paula continued to say nothing to Maggie, and turned to the male.

"30 minutes" she said, repeating herself after she spoke. As she stood up, I took note of the males behavior. He seemed to be getting more and more impatient as time passed causing him to grow angry with the ginger woman's call.

"You know what my problem is. . . she did this to me. . . she did it and she's just sitting there right as rain fully intact" he said. The male stood up  and walked in front of Carol with his bloody arm hanging at his side.

"Hey" Paula warned.

"No, your not gonna make the trade then we just do em now" he said reaching for his gun. I pulled in my legs close to my chest in anticipation. What's your move. . . Paula?

"No we wait for the others, we have to be smart we need insurance" she said.

"Then shoot her in the arm too" he snapped as he pointed toward Carol.

"No" Paula chuckled.

"You really gonna stick up for some gutless bitch over me?" The male questioned her seriously. Paula said nothing, and the male soon broke down down in pain. Paula yelled at him to shut up to which the male didn't take lightly to. Suddenly, he shot up and punched Paula in the face as he looked down on Carol with a murderous look.

"Leave her alone!" Maggie shouted as she kicked the male knocking him to the ground. Maggie began to get up, but the man got up as well. He grabbed Maggie by her hair, yanking her head backwards. Carol shouted at him. Quickly, I scooted myself forward, and as much strength, kicked the man as hard as I could making him fall to the ground face first.

"You bitch!" He yelled angerly. The male quickly got up again, and marched over to me. Unable to properly defend myself because of the restraints, the male began to kick me in the side. Due to the force, I fell to the ground and onto my side. The injured male kicked me a few more times with considerable force before Carol was able to grab hold of his leg. He knocked her over as well and kicked her in the back a few times. Paula finally got up, and took action against the male. She knocked him out with a sigh, and turned around to look at Maggie and I.

"You three really are some kind of stupid" she said looking down on us.

"Take her out, see if she know anything" Paula instructed the masculine woman as so pointed to Maggie.

"I should have done that before" she spoke to herself. The woman did as she was told, walking over to Maggie, and forced her out of the room. As the door opened, I could hear the moans and groans of the undead that were still in the building.

In the room, Carol still lay on the ground. I had scooted myself back to my corner as I leaned on my good side so that the side I was kicked could rest a little. It didn't hurt as much as I had expected it to, but the little pain I did feel just reminded me that I was still alive.
