I had been riding for what seemed like eternity what was actually a few hours. I stopped my bike at the entrance of a Hydroelectric Dam which is quite clever if you can get the damn working, you get a good supply of water and electricity. I look at the Dam for a few moments.

"What do you want?" I hear a voice yell as I look up I see a woman in her mid-30's possibly early 40's pointing a hunting rifle at me, as I back away from the wall a little bit with my hands raised in surrender.

"I'll ask again, what do you want?" The woman asks in a more forceful tone.

"I'm looking for a place to settle down, I was pointed in this direction ma'am." I say. as she still has her gun trained on me.

"Are you a Hunter?" She asks. emphasizing the hunter part of her question.

"No ma'am, just a lone survivor looking for a place to live." I say, as she pulls out what I assume is a walkie- talkie It was hard to hear what she was saying, but the gate opened as I got on my bike as I hear the woman yell down to me.

"When you get inside, head to the big white house, Tommy wants to talk to you." She yells as I look up at her and nod as I start my bike and drive in as the gate closes behind me, as I look at the Settlement I see the big white house as I drive towards it. I stop in-front of it turn off my bike, take out the keys, and prop it up with the kick stand. As I get off and walk up the steps, and knock as I step back the door opens revealing who I guess is the leader of the Settlement, as he looks at me and vice versa he tells me to follow him as he sits down at the table he Invites me to as well as I sit down.

"I just have some questions for you." He says, as I nod.

"Where are you from?" He asks.

"Houston, Texas" I say, as He nods.

"How old are you?" He asks.

"17" I say.

"Alright, just so you know if you want to live here we all have to pull our weight around here, so what can you offer us." He asks.

"I have a Masters and Bachelor's Degree in Mechanics and Engineering, Proficient training in hand to hand combat, and gun training, and an Advanced Degree in Hydroelectric Power from the University of Texas in Austin." I say as He nods and stands up, as I do as well.

"I never did ask your name." He says.

"Jake Pierce."

"Tommy." He says as I shake his hand.

"Wait, your Tommy?" I ask.

"Yeah, why?" He asks.

"nothing, it's just the woman on the wall told me Tommy wanted to talk to me." I say.

"Oh, you mean Maria, yeah she told me." Tommy says as we walk out of the house as we get to the porch. He looks at my bike.

"that your bike?" Tommy asks.

"Yep." I say.

"Where did you find it?" Tommy asks.

"I found it in Denver, after traveling from Salt Lake City." I say as Tommy hums thoughtfully as he walks over to me.

"Okay, where your staying is the house at the far end of that cul-de-sac, with the Mechanic's shop attached to the House." Tommy says as he hands me the keys as I nod.

"Thanks, Tommy." I say as I start my bike and take off as I see him wave to me in my mirror before he goes back inside.

as I head to the end of the cul-de-sac, I pull into the driveway and turn off my bike and prop it as I walk to the Mechanic's shop door and unlock it and slide the door open and take a few seconds to look around the shop. It had quite the marvelous set up as I grab my bike and walk it in and walked out and closed the garage door and relocked it. Before heading to the house attached to it as I unlocked the door and stepped in and closed the door, I looked around the house had a moderately sized living room complete with couch and chairs, a kitchen I walked upstairs I saw two bedrooms complete with beds blankets and dressers, I even found a bookshelf as I went into the room on my left I set my backpack on the bed and take out the clothes I had packed and placed them in the dresser, and placed some books on the shelf and placed my backpack next to my bed, as I sit on my bed and take off my boots and place them next to my backpack as I lay on my bed and fall into the sweet lull of sleep.
