The sound of a trap triggering had drawn Bill’s attention but, as he jumped down from the roof onto the back of the truck, he pulled up short. It was hard to understand what he was seeing.
There was a certain type he was used to seeing caught up in his traps. Grubby, concealing clothes, a few guns, generally just broken and dirty people. What he’d caught today? Nothing like that, at all. For starters, the guy had to be six and a half feet tall. Instead of 20, 30 year old clothes, he was wearing... what looked like some get-up for a gladiator themed party or something. All arms and legs exposed, flimsy little sandals... Oh- and he had picked himself up as easy as you please and was wrestling with the rope holding him in the air by his foot.
Bill’s muscles burned just to see such a feat, and his gun dropped a little in his pure shock at the sight. What the hell was this guy thinking?
The raspy, revolting cries of the infected were what broke him out of his reverie.
“Just hold on!” He finally called, “I’ll cut you down!” He jumped off the truck and sprinted for the trap’s counterweight, grateful to himself that he had repaired the fencing; it was holding against the infected, for now.
