<sub>[THERE GO THOSE ALARM BELLS DEAN WAS WAITING FOR. Ding ding ding this guy can't be human; he's like something right out of Night of the Living Dead. Save for... well, less black and white.

There isn't hesitation anymore. The zombie's gotta go. But there's one thing that's bugging Dean. That's why instead of just shooting him, Dean pushes quickly closes the distance and pushes him against the wall. The barrel of the gun presses against the side of R's head.]</sub>

There's one of two things going on right now and it would be in your best interest to help me out here. See, Halloween's been over. So you've had the misfortune of being thrown several months ahead or you're a friggin' zombie.

You know what the problem with that is, right? Zombies don't talk.

[All the air being kept in R's chest for the purpose of attempting to rebuff Dean's accusations is driven out in a rattling wheeze as he hits the wall. There's no hiding it now - the corpse-like pallor of his skin, the greyed eyes, the lack of pulse and Living body temperature.

He stares, wordless, for several painful seconds, feeling the barrel of the gun digging into his temple. One shot, and he'd be gone.]

No.

[His eyes slide shut. Julie's face flashes through his mind. He makes a sound suspiciously close to a whimper.]

Please. I want to.. stay. Want to.. live. Please.

_{[This is one of the most fucked up situations Dean's been in. Usually the zombies don't talk back. They just make unintelligible grunting noises and try to eat you.]}

Why should I let you do that? Dealing with a zombie apocalypse isn't exactly at the top of my bucket list.

[Dean's probably never seen a zombie with the level of intelligence that R shows in his expression alone, never mind one that talks. He knows the gun can kill him, and he's visibly trying to shy away from it.

R is remarkably well preserved for one of the Dead and he knows it. It's no indicator as to his age. Some of them fall apart and drop where they stand in months, even weeks, and some of them continue on for years, barely decomposing. R thought that it was something to do with how much they wanted it.

Some of them just gave up.]

I need to.. find..

[He winces away from the gun again.]

.. Julie.

_{[It's needless to say, this entire situation has Dean questioning everything he knows about zombies. Obviously, this guy is some sort of exception. But why? How?]}

Julie? Hate to break it to you, but there isn't a Julie here.

_{[He actually doesn't know that, but he can't be sure that this guy doesn't have the intention to hunt this Julie down to hurt her. It wouldn't surprise him in the least.]}
