"We walk on"
-Chapter 2-
Two weeks had gone by since the beginning of the outbreak and Matt had adjusted to life at the rock quarry or at least he think he did okay with all things camping with at least 20 people.
On his way on the highway towards Atlanta he had seen his fair share of the walkers that the kids called them. Luckily he was fast on his motorcycle so he could get away. It seemed that the road to Atlanta was full of cars attempting to reach the town for safety but not moving so Matt had stopped near a RV to ask if he could use the toilet and to take off his leather jacket. There he met an old kind man named Dale and two blonde sisters Andrea and Amy. Andrea was the older more serious one and Amy the young carefree smiling sister. After the military started bombing the city with napalm bombs to stop being overrun with the infected, a big man with black curly hair named Shane had an idea to go camping in a quarry nearby to wait and see what would happen. Shane went with Lori an older brunette haired and her 12-year-old son Carl to lead the way with the RV and Matt right behind them.
Shane had also told the Peletier family, Ed a big man with angry eyes, Carol a shy mother with a buzz-cut and their 12-year-old daughter Sophia that also was shy as her mother. It didn't take long before more people came to the quarry to get away. Among them was T-Dog a muscular African-American with a shaved head, the redneck brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon, Jacqui another African-American and a young friendly Asian man named Glenn.
Dale had a tent that he let Matt use and that he and Glenn shared with a lack of tents going around the quarry. After two weeks it seemed as if everyone at camp had something to contribute or everyone but Ed and Merle. But no one mentioned it because no one wanted to really fight with the angry men. Matt mostly avoided both but it seemed that when Merle talked to Matt it was just because he also had a motorcycle. Matt had found himself helping with the wood to the fireplace along with T-Dog and got familiar with the axe. Matt also found himself near Jim a mechanic that learned him more about cars along with Glenn and sometimes Dale with his RV.
Matt hadn't thought about laundry until he seemed to only have one clean blue t-shirt.
"Hey Glenn how do you get your clothes clean around here?" Matt asked Glenn in the morning while getting his only clean shirt on.
"This is the first time you thought about laundry Matt? Come on nobody likes a smelly person around here."
"Yeah yeah, I get it I'm a slob but I'm trying here. Laundry wasn't the first thing I thought about, so how do you get your laundry done?"
"Oh well I usually just gives them to Carol before I go to the city so she and the rest of the women can get them done when I'm away finding food and other necessities."
Glenn answered and went out of the tent to eat breakfast by the fire. Sometimes Matt tried to help with dinner to make the food they had to taste better but there wasn't much to do so he let Carol take care of it. He just gave suggestions to Glenn about spices that could be good to have.
After everyone had eaten breakfast and there only was Carol around the fire, Matt approached her feeling a little embarrassed.
"Ehm… Carol?"
"Yes Matt?" Carol had become more comfortable with Matt since they talked about spices and food together.
"Ehm... You do laundry right? Because I have forgotten to get my clothes clean and so I was wondering if you could include my clothes in the laundry you women do." Matt looked at the ground scratching his neck.
"Oh of course I can Matt. I completely forgot to ask if you needed laundry done, I'm sorry. Just put your clothes in this basket and I will get it done tomorrow. " Carol handed him an empty basket.
"Thank you Carol you are literary a life saver." Matt then went to his tent to pick up all his dirty clothes and put in the basket before he sheepishly gave the stuffed basket back to Carol.
He saw Glenn arguing with Shane at the RV about who were going in to the city to get supplies but Glenn wanted to go alone as he always did. Shane finally won the argument when T-Dog, Morales and Jacqui volunteered to go with Glenn to get more supplies than normally. Finally it was decided that Merle and Andrea was also going much to Amy's will. Everyone gave them hugs and off they went to Atlanta.
Later they heard a transmission from the CB about a man going towards Atlanta without knowing about all the walkers roaming in the city but they couldn't get a reply through.
Matt approached Shane after he had his little "lovers' quarrel" with Lori, not that they thought anyone knew about them, about putting up warnings on the highway about Atlanta being overrun. Shane later came out smiling from the woods so Matt knew that now was a good time.
"Shane I need to talk to you."
"Ah sure what can I do for you Matt?" Shane said still smiling goofy and if Matt didn't know about him and Lori this would be an eye-opener that someone have been getting lucky.
"I want you to teach me how to shoot. It was a long time ago I learned."
"You a good shot?" Shane asked doubtfully.
"My grandfather used to have a shotgun and after bugging him about it he showed me how to use the shotgun in my teenage years. A handgun can't be that different but I could use your help with my aim."
"Yeah sure let me get my gun and then we can go to the hill further back"
