"Picking up his .45 pistol" #zombie


The knocking at his door wakes Deacon up.  He had not slept that long in several days, he is a little disoriented.  He answers the door still rubbing his eyes.    

“It’s time to get this show on the road!”  Greg tells him before he gets the door open all the way.  

The lights are on, so he knows Dave is already awake.  Deacon takes some clothes out of one of the duffle bags, and walks out of his room to the shower.  He meets Alicia in the hall on her way to Jaimie’s room.  She approaches him, and looks into his eyes and pleads with him to make sure that nothing happens to Jeff.  He can see the tears beginning to form in her eyes and tries to reassure her that he will take care of him.  Once satisfied she allows him to continues to the shower room.  In the shower, he stands still, letting the water hit him directly in the face.  He is mentally attempting to prepare himself for what is about to come.  Deacon knows that if they are leaving the island they are only asking for trouble, but there is not another option.

After showering he returns to his room, and slides his shoulder holster on.  Picking up his .45 pistol, he pulls the action back to put a round in the chamber before taking the magazine out of the pistol to top off the ammunition in it.  He pops the magazine back in the gun, and slides the pistol in the holster.  Next, he picks up his AR leaning against the wall.  Dropping the magazine out, he tops that one off too.  After reinserting it back into the rifle, he takes the other two magazines out of the rifle case laying on the floor.  After he checks to make sure they are full, he drops them in the cargo pocket on his pants.  He takes a quick glance around the room to make sure he did not forget anything.  As he shoulders the rifle sling, he walks out of the room ensuring to turn off the light and quietly closes the door to not wake anyone.  Upstairs in the cafeteria which is now their kitchen, he finds Jeff, Lana, Greg and Dave are sitting at the table eating breakfast and drinking their coffee.  He takes a plate and a coffee mug out of one of the cupboards.  Filling his plate and mug, he carries it over to the table, and sits down to eat.  From the table they see the elevator door open and Jamie steps out pulling her hair back into a pony tail with her girls and Alicia right behind her.  Greg advises her to get some food.  She informs them as she holds her stomach that she has a nervous stomach and she cannot eat anything.  She begins to get the girls something to eat.  Alicia can see the anticipation is weighing on her and asks her to sit down, assuring her that she will get the girls’ food.  Deacon finishes up, hurrying to gulp down the last of his coffee.  Rising from the table, he tells everybody that he will be right back.
