"Don't pretend you give a shit about me. " She heard Rick say as she stood there. She rolled her eyes at his words. Because truth of the matter was, she did care about him. She had always cared about him. That was who Anne was, Though because of everything that she had gone through, everyone that she had ever loved, she had lost. It was hard for her to actually admit it. But if Jadis didn't care about him, she would have left him there at the rivers edge and let him bleed out. Or she would have told the CRM that he was an A and let them handle him. But she didn't. She had saved him and this was what she got for it and it honestly angered her.

"I give a shit, Rick. I have always given a shit." She said as she stared at him. " If I didn't then I would have left you there on the edge of the river and let you bleed out. YET, I saved you. Would have told the CRM that you were an A instead of a B, and then you would have been in some lab. Experimented on or dead by now." More firm. "Yet, here you are, Rick. Alive and well.. " Anne tilted her head. She knew he was mad and would be for a while but needed him to understand that she did care.

"I'm a Marine, I don't know what the hell you are." Drake said as he stood there in front of her.

They had an order they were given and in his eyes they had to go through with it. They may not agree with it but that was how being in the Marine's were. But he could see it in her eyes. She wasn't okay with it and if he knew her, which he did and he knew that she was going through her head how to get out of it. But he never thought in his life that she would actually disobey an order.

But that was when he heard the gun shots and saw the man in front of him falling to the ground dead. He frowned sightly now sure what he was seeing was true. Hell a part of him was really hoping that it was a dream. But he knew that it wasn't espically when he had his gun pointed at her, Not to mention she had her's pointed at him but what shocked him the most was that he felt a pain in his chest. And he knew that he had been shot right in the chest.

It was all about power, Hell it had always been about power. That's what it had always been about. Sure Jadis may have not been like this before the world had ended. But now that it had her true colors had started to show. Started when she gave Rick to the CRM to buy her way in. To sleep with the bosses’s daughter. Aka Jennifer Mallick. But that wasn’t the only thing that she had done. Sure, before she had joined the Crm she had killed people. But not like she was doing now. Oh no, now she did it to either keep people finding out about the CRM. Or just for the hell if it.

A grunt fell from her lips as she struggled against the male. She had been sent to kill him, He knew too much about the CRM it was a liability which wasn't good. And Beale knew that she could get the job done. But it was a fight in a half, but she finally managed to grab a knife and stab him right in the neck. She was breathing heavily as she got up from the ground. Blood dripping from her mouth from the head butt she received.

"Are you laughing at me?" She heard Rick ask as she stood there. Yes, she was eating onion ring after onion ring in front of him. She could hear how angry he was and though she didn't blame him, he had to understand that this wasn't her fault. Not really. She had given him to the CRM, as it bought her way into the higher ups. But she had also saved him. If it had not been for her he would have bled out on that riverbank. He would have been gone with in hours.

"Of course not Rick, I would never laugh at you." she spoke as she popped another onion ring into her mouth. Damn these things were addicting. One of the many perks of the CRM. One of the many lies they threw around to keep the people there, and one she was falling for. Truth be told she joined up because she believed in them and she was tired of losing people. She had lost so many already and she just didn't want to lose them anymore. Anne thought that this was the best option.

"DON'T!" Anne shouted as she saw one of the other CRM soldiers pointing a gun at Rick. She had orders to bring him in alive since this was yet another one of his attempts to escape. And Beale actually thought that she may be able to convince him to stop. Beale didn't want to kill him but Rick was really leaving him no choice. That was when she heard the gunshot next thing she knew she saw Rick hit by the bullet. " NOOO!!!" she said and turned to look at the soldier that was standing there.

"Are you fucking insane?" she growled out at him as she turned to look at him, the soldier looked like he wanted to say something but before he could she pulled out her pistol pointed it right at the soldier's head, and pulled the trigger. "Idiot." She growled out again before she ran over to Rick's side. This was a familiar scene to her because this was almost very similar to how she found him at the river. She knelt down beside him as she saw where he had been shot at and sighed as she placed a hand against the wound. " Someone get the damn med e-vac here NOW!!" she said.

She saw his fist coming right at her face and she quickly dodged it. Did Rick seriously just try to punch her? Yeah, he did. And was she shocked by that? Slightly she thought that they had an understanding. That they were going to try and work together. But maybe she was wrong, It wouldn't be the first time she had been. Not to mention she didn't think that after the deal that they had made he would still be holding these feelings towards her. Yeah, she wasn't that good, But everything that she did and does was for a reason.

"Seriously Rick?" She asked her tone of voice held shock but who could blame her. " I thought we were past this." She told him as she stood there. She could tell that he was going to try again to hit her. And part of her was honestly wondering if she should just let him. Maybe if she let him hit her he would get it out of his system then maybe they could actually work together. Because at the moment they were in a very shitty susation and if they didn't work together she was sure that there was a good chance that they were going to die.

..

BOOM!!! that was all that Anne heard as she hid behind the barrier. She had been told to stay there and wait for her mentor Jennifer's sign to come. But the moment that she had heard that gunshot was all it took for her to disobey that order. Even more so when she saw Jennifer go down knowing that she had been shot. Pulling out the pistol that was currently attached to her hip she slowly started to make her way towards where she could see Jennifer on the ground. But it's the fact that she saw a soldier standing over her that really made her stop thinking. Without a thought her pistol was pointed at the man standing over Jennifer and she pulled the trigger hitting the soldier right between the eyes.

She made sure he was dead before she rushed over to Jennifer and knelt down beside her. " Damn it where were you hit?" she said as she started to give her the once over. Wasn't long before she actually saw the blood spilling from her side. " Shit." She said as she started to grab the medical gauze from one of her pockets on her chest. " Damn it Jennifer… stay with me." She said as she started to press the gauze against the wound.
