Wyatt leaned towards Isabella. "I don't know if you still want to stick together, but I think we should."

"You're my best friend Wyatt. Of course I want to." said Isabella. Banjo barked in what appeared to be agreement.

"Come on Sora," Bruce spoke to his friend, putting an arm on his shoulder, "let's go get you fixed." With his other hand, he offered to carry Sora.

Sora took the hand. "I hate that kid now." He mumbled, Bruce could hear him curse out Wyatt as well.

"We will take less stuff from the pack if you trade in that for this," The Captain said. "I have orders to make all my troops as uniform as possible."

Bruce smiled at the cursin. He picked Sora up and began heading to the Baptist Church.

They reached the church after a quiet walk. Soldiers on guard duty were walking across the streets, not looking at the duo and concentrating solely on their jobs. Patrols were entering homes and exiting them, carefully scouting the households.

They arrived at the church. It was large, grand, and modern. More soldiers were outside the church, and a few people were walking in. The church had a sign on the outside that read, "Hermitage Baptist Church." Below it in red paint red, "AND HOSPITAL."

"Oh boy, this brings back memories." Bruce said as he looked up at the church sign. After a brief moment, he entered it.

Sora was confused. "How does it bring back memories..?" He asked.

"How I went to church every Sunday with my... Never mind." Bruce said and shook his head.

"Oh." Sora squeaked. "I forgot about that.."

The church opened up to be simplistic but beautiful. It had pews in the front and risers in the back. There was a door that led to the basement, and signs that red hospital pointing there.

Bruce took a moment to marvel at the church. He wasn't in one for... God knows how long. But soon he carried on, down into the hospital.

The hospital was less than simplistic, and had many hospital beds. and a box full of medical supplies the beds were halfway filled with soldiers, although they all looked decent in health, accept for bandages and slings. The only exception was the dead man strapped down to the bed.

The doctor, dressed in a white apron, approached Bruce. He had hospital attire on, and a scalpel in his hand. His features were not able to be seen behind his mask. Though they could make out he was of the shorter variety.

"Let me see your backpack," he said simply, in a clear and fluent voice.

Bruce frowned, wondering why, but did not argue. He lightly put Sora back on his feet before giving the doctor his bag.

The doctor made sure the bag was zipped, and tipped it over, looking at the bottom. The bottom had an army start on it, followed by a plus sign. Below it read, "America's Finest Army" in a nice italic font. Around the seal was a complex and hard to follow pattern of lines. The doctor pulled something from his pocket, which looked like a bar-code scanner. He pressed the button on it, aiming for the lines, and a 'ding' noise was heard. The doctor nodded with a smile, and motioned the two over to an empty bed, continuously checking the dead man.

Sora frowned, he held his backpack in his arms but like one would for a baby.

The doctor did the same procedure to Sora's backpack, and motioned them over to the bed..

Wyatt smiled. "Okay. Thank you." Ruby was panting and salivating. She sniffed Banjo's ear. "So, I'll be going to the market to get a new pair of shoes--or, at least one. Are you coming with?"

"Sure." said Isabella.

"Wait!" the Captain said, "Are you sure you are keeping your things?" he asked, somewhat scared.

"I'll give over my colt." said Isabella. "I mean I already have an AR-15 and M9. All I need is the ammo."

"I can share my things with you." Wyatt whispered with a smile. "Ammo included, of course."

"Alright, not turning everything comes with consequences in starting supplies. Are you sure?

The items you will not be give for free are a machete, lighter, pair of hiking boots, poncho, sunglasses, signaling mirror, and flashlight, and three quarters of the starting ammunition."
