Never Any Time For Yourself

"Here is all the shit you asked for, please for the love of all the dead bodies in your drive way find a way to cure this shit." Xanthiana was put off, she had spent all of her ammunition, the armor had taken several swipes, and the shield she had been loaned was destroyed. The only thing that she really had anymore was her health and with several cuts taken from the infected she wondered about that too. Eren was like most of her kind more interested in the work than the results of it. She accepted the supplies and went back to what she had been doing, not even a thank you or offer of help. It was enough for Xanthiana to question whether what she went through was worth it in the first place.

"I believe she has the supplies we can use to fix ourselves up." Elly was always focussed, the little computer seemed perfectly content running from one threat to the next, it was comforting and annoying to Xanthiana. But the EGO was right and there were bandages and antiseptics to use, and not taking care of herself would not make things any better. So she bandaged up, managed to scrounge up a couple magazines of pistol ammunition and made her way back to her car. The car had seen better days, she had to use it to finish off the last couple of infected and they had mangled the hell out of the front of the car.

"Ok so at least now, now we can finally just get back to doing what we can to get the hell out of this place." Xanthiana was about to gun the engine when Elly spoke up.

"Uhh about that Xan."

"Hit me Elly, don't sugar coat it."

"I've got Sergent Cobb on the line he says he needs your help." Xanthiana sighed and took her foot off the gas.

"Where?"

"Back at that farm house we saved from raiders."

"You'll have to be more specific than that Elly, put it up on the map, and tell Cobb I'm on my way." Xanthiana wanted to just ignore everyone, but she knew, just knew doing so would screw her and so in the face of a huge storm she drove on towards the farm house.  If anyone she thought, maybe this will be the way to get back on the Ereps good side and that meant the way to fatter contracts with less problems.
