Sirius always instructed to pack to make it as unobvious as possible that they were there. Keep inside the houses, keep off the lights or keep them low, whatever kept away walkers or people. There were about twenty of them, there had been twenty one before his sister in law, and twenty two before his ex, but they were both gone. The houses both of them stayed in were cleaned out and left to rot in peace, so when he hears over the walkie that there’s movement in one, but everyone is accounted for he heads over. Quietly making his way inside and catching sight of someone rummaging through the kitchen, he takes a step back behind the walk separating them, a bullet if she has a gun won’t kill him, but it wont feel good either “nothin’s left in here, kid” he calls out “’m not going to hurt ya, put your weapons down....we might be able to help” 

The chaos had broken out around the same time he and his pack were getting ready to move out of the state, it had kept them there, trying to keep others from turning. Killing those who had turned. They weren’t immune no, but they were strong, they could recover from the bites, but if they were killed, they would turn. It was never pretty, when it happened to his sister in law, she turned into a near unstoppable force and nearly took out three betas. Sirius had to put her down. They had monopolized the south end of their small town, set up perimeters, patrols, which Sirius was currently on when he spotted someone nearing. He could already tell it wasn’t a walker, lowering his weapon he looks at her with narrowed eyes “you bit?” he asks, looking her over.

He really should be paying attention but he’s too busy on the phone with Alyn, who is supposed to be taking care of things back home but has called him for the sixth time today about something that could have waited. Sirius was only in new york because of his sister in law, his niece had started showing signs of changing and his brother, the only one in his family that hadn’t become a werewolf, was panicking, too afraid to put her on a plane, he had come to them. So it’s really no surprise when he walks straight into someone in the mildly busy side walk “I’ll call you back” he says before moving to help the other pick up the things she had dropped “I’m sorry, that was my fault, he says, shaking his head”  

Sirius feels the scent of death and blood burning at his nose, turning to his beta he tells her to go and check out of the store and bring their things to the car before investigating. It’s a small town, small store, it doesn’t take long to find the other, and he makes himself look busy checking out a shelf “you new around here?” he asks, eyes peering over curiously as he looks him up and down, his tone casual with a hint of suspicion. 

“You can’t be here” he tells the other, broad shoulders tensing as he stands on the edge of the woods looking at them. They were on his property, which he normally didn’t mind, but his Beta’s, and his dogs were out wandering the perimeter of the property, and they weren’t as friendly as he was “It’s best you leave now, my dogs don’t like when people wander into the yard”.
