Huy couldn't help but overhear Anna calling softly for her sister. He said nothing, but all the same he wished there were something he could do to bring Jaime back. Right, impossible... ' But Jaime would have wanted me to protect Anna for her, ' he reminded himself, which at least made him feel a li...

Without hesitation Huy complied to Ricky's direction, which he felt no need to contest whatsoever. Really he was just grateful to have friends in this horrible place. Even if there was always the possibility of betrayal. It all came down to trust, and Huy would trust Ricky and Whitney until they gav...

Huy followed the group into the house, his hand reaching toward his back and resting on the butt of his revolver. He'd never fired a gun in his life, but he'd give it an honest shot (no pun intended) for the sakes of Anna, Whitney and Ricky. They had to remain strong as a team. That whole "unit...

Huy nodded in response to the plan in question, refraining from asking about Ricky and Anna's previous encounters. It seemed like it would be asking a little much of them at the moment given their fatigued state. Still, he felt it would be necessary to get caught up on who the group would or wouldn'...

At the sound of Huy's voice Whitney's companion (it was Ricky Callahan, he was on the football team) produced a small handgun and pointed it in their direction. Whitney did nothing. Huy felt his chest tighten up, but he stood his ground without moving a muscle. He would know very shortly if Ricky wa...

((continued from Fruits of Thine Labor)) Huy thumbed through the operating manual for the revolver (which was actually of the silenced variety) and got a basic idea of how to wield it. He also took a minute to load five of the strange-looking SP-4 7.62 rounds into the cylinder and snap it shut. This...

While Anna was gathering supplies, Huy dug through his supplies and withdrew his pencil, marking a small 'x' on the dining room wall and taking a step back. He let out a deep breath and raised the ax up and to his right, gritting his teeth as he swung forcefully at his target. He missed by about hal...

"Anna, I..." Huy was at a loss for words as Anna hugged him again, expressing her feelings on the delicate matter. On the one hand, he admired her selflessness. But on the other, it scared him that she was talking like that. It was like a reinforcement that there was only one way out. Anna...

The heavy rain was comforting in a way; Huy didn't figure someone would be out searching for kills when it was coming down like this. Everybody would be more interested in getting out of the storm. Huy hadn't been too optimistic about his chances of survival since day one. What were the odds that he...

Anna smiled at Huy; she was beautiful when she smiled. "You're right, Huy. Thank you," she said. He smiled back. "You're welcome." For a moment, the inevitable fate of everyone on the island had been pushed out of his mind. It was back the next, however, thanks to the morning ann...

Raped, too? ' Jaime, God... ' Huy thought, clenching his fists behind Anna's back. She sobbed into his shirt, and he felt the full force of her grief bear on his chest. ' What the fuck are they all doing? How could they? Are they all fucking animals?? ' There really was no question that perfectly su...

Huy had never known Anna's late sister all that well--they had been nothing more than friendly aquaintances--but witnessing the girls pain moved him deeply. He remained silent, tears welling in his eyes as Anna opened the floodgates. He couldn't just leave her to cry by herself, so Huy decided to ri...

Huy complied without hesitation, leaving his bags in the hall where he'd slid them and taking a seat at the table. He felt like he hadn't seen Anna in ages, when in fact he'd seen her in homeroom a couple days ago. No, scratch that, he'd seen her on the bus...Huy cringed, the memory of their homeroo...

The girl (and her axe) stepped into view suddenly, which startled him and would probably have set him off out the door like a jackrabbit, if she weren't saying his name with such joy and recognition. As he realized who it was, Huy felt like an immense weight had been removed from his chest. The meta...

The girls final comment gave Huy some vague idea as to what he was dealing with. A knife? An axe, maybe? What chopped things? It was hard to think. At least he could take some comfort in the idea that she wasn't packing a gun. She couldn't be; she would have threatened him with that instead. He was ...
