Kira, Ben and Carley came to the main road once more. Kira pulled a branch out of her way as she stepped out, letting it go behind her. ''Ouch!'' Ben whimpered as the branch slapped him on the cheek. Kira chortled, ''Oh, I'm sorry Ben!''
''Hey guys, they're back!'' Kira heard Lily shout. They walked over to the gate as Kenny, Duck and Larry opened the gates. ''What was the farm like?'' Katjaa asked impatiently. ''Beautiful and peaceful!'' Kira reminisced. ''Protected!'' Carley added. ''By Electric fences!'' Kira finished off Carley's sentence excitedly.
''So it's definitely safe? How about the so-called food they offered?'' Larry huffed. ''Yes, it's safe Larry.'' Carley sighed. ''As for the food, they baked us some bread rolls!'' Kira said happily, as she carefully flung the cooler down at the group's feet. ''Fresh they are, baked this morning!'' Duck and Clementine were the first to grab at the rolls, followed by the adults. Ben, Carley and Kira grabbed their rolls last.
By the time they'd finished their bread rolls, Kira and Carley had explained the plan of the group going for the day, and helping the St. John's to help us, and the group had agreed to go up to the farm. ''Since we ate some of the food on the way here, we'll stay here and guard the motor Inn.'' Carley suggested finally. Ben looked upset at Carley's suggestion. ''If you're sure about that... We better leave soon if we want to get there this evening.'' Kenny announced to the group. The group talked to each other quietly. Kira looked sideways slightly, and noticed Ben still sulked from Carley's decision. Kira awkwardly jabbed him in the side with her elbow, ''Come on Ben, it's not for long.'' Kira said reassuringly. ''Besides there are much more interesting things to do here, ey!'' ''I'm just scared... scared I'll screw up this group and cause something bad to happen. I barely know how to defend myself... let alone a whole group.'' Ben looked down. ''Hey, stop thinking so negatively Ben! As long as you are alive, I swear I will protect you with all my ability.'' Ben's head shot up in surprise. Their eyes met, Kira's eyes giving Ben's security and a promise, that would not be broken.
The group hovered at the gate, saying goodbye to the three staying as the Motor Inn. ''Oh, take this with you!'' Kira handed the empty, much lighter container to Kenny. Kenny put his free hand on Kira's shoulder, ''You're a good sport, look after yourself!'' Kenny said with a tone of friendliness. ''...And him.'' He whispered, gesturing his head at Ben, and then winking at Kira. ''You bet I will, sir!'' Kira added playfully.
Clementine now walked over, ''Will you be ok, Kira?'' Kira, bent down onto one knee, ''Don't you worry none, Clem, I'll be fine!'' Kira reassured Clementine, ''Look after yourself and Lee.'' Kira hugged clementine tightly, ''We'll see each other again soon, quicker than you can say 'apocalypse'!'' Clemmy smiled, ''What's apocalypse mean?'' Kira laughed and went to explain, but Larry interrupted, ''Let's head out group!''
Kira sat on top of the RV, and scanned the area, before shouting down to Carley, ''Everything is safe, for now!'' ''Ok Kira, good one, I'll be in my room if you need me!'' Kira nodded, as Carley walked off going into the Motor Inn.
Kira now turned her head and watched Ben, who nearly hammered his finger to the fence, trying to fix it, and Kira threw her hand to her mouth to stop herself from laughing uncontrollably. Ben looked up at Kira, and she quickly resumed her normal position but shaking her head and giggling. Ben looked angry, but soon began to chuckle as well.
Kira finally gestured with her head, and Ben started to walk over. ''I almost thought you had it there Ben!'' Kira winked as he reached the bottom of the RV. ''Ok, Ok, don't make fun at me, I tried,'' Ben said laughing softly. ''Now, uh... how'd you get up on the RV?'' Ben asked looking a bit helpless. Kira pointed at a large cardboard box. Ben followed her direction, clambering up onto the large box. Kira reached down grabbing Ben's hand, hauling Ben up onto the roof of the RV.
''How're you holding up?'' Kira asked tentatively. Ben sighed, '' I think I'm a lot better, it's been a rough, action-filled day. I'm just not used to it I suppose.'' Ben put his hands in his lap, and looked down. ''You're really good at keeping things quiet Ben, ha, I don't want you to feel you cant talk to us about things.'' Kira spoke gently, ''Yeah, well I don't think I'm that welcome with your group Kira... They didn't look too happy when they saw more 'mouths to feed'.''
''Hey, you can't blame them.. We're all just trying to survive, and sometimes we forget that we're dealing with people, after seeing what they turn into.'' Kira said softly.
''I'm not much to offer to this group though, I can't hunt, can't cook, I'm not brave or confident.. I'm pretty useless.'' The pair sat in silence for a few seconds. ''Being not that brave or confident could save you in these times, it means you are more aware and alert which is good to be Ben... and hey, you and your hammer partnered up could slay us a few zombies. The invincible Ben and his Hammer.'' Ben looked at Kira amused, and they both started to giggle.
''Well I'm sure glad I met you Kira!'' Ben said delighted, ''So am I Ben, so am I!'' Kira smiled.
Kira confidently but slowly lowered her head onto Ben's shoulder. He jumped ever so slightly at her touch. Kira's smile grew, ''Yes, we'll make a good survivor out of you!''
