when Lincoln had come back, he went to Nurse Pattie who cleaned the wound and stitched it up. He then left and that's when he saw Jordan looking at him.
"Jordan?" Lincoln asked
"Is it true? Did you see Clyde?" Jordan asked
"How did-?"
"Maggie told me," Jordan said, "Is he dead?"
"No" Lincoln replied
"Where is he then?" Jordan asked
"He didn't want to come back with us... so I left, he wasn't acting like himself... He's the one that stabbed me" Lincoln said
He then showed Jordan the knife wound that Clyde had given him. She gasped and looked at Lincoln.
"He didn't even know who I was for a while..." Lincoln told her
"Lincoln-"
"I feel like shit! I-I couldn't bring him back" Lincoln told her
Jordan walked up to him and looked him in the eye's, "Linc, it was his choice to not come with you, you're not at fault here" Jordan told him
"I'm just... I felt like I lost another person who was close to me... He's still alive, yeah but in a way... he's gone" Lincoln said "And I don't know if he'll ever come back or if I'll ever see him again" Lincoln said, his voice shaking
"Lincoln look at me," Jordan said
Lincoln did as she said and looked at her with tears forming in his eyes. Jordan just hugged him tight and Lincoln hugged back, letting the tears fall from his eyes.
"I feel like I'm losing too much!" Lincoln sobbed "I just! I don't know if I can handle losing more people!"
Jordan hugged him tightly, small tears left her eyes as well. She had never seen Lincoln cry this much before. She never knew how much people meant to him. He cared for everyone here.
"Hey, it's gonna be ok" She replied "You won't lose anyone anymore," She told him
They broke the hug and the two looked at each other, Lincoln whipped the tears from his face, and Jordan did the same.
"All that matters now Lincoln, is that we're here now, and were safe" Jordan told him
Lincoln nodded and sighed with a shaky breath, "thanks Jordan... I really needed that" he told her
Jordan nodded and smiled at him, "Hey, I'm always here if you need to talk"
Lincoln nodded, "I-I think I'm gonna head to bed. I'll see you later Jordan" Lincoln told her
Jordan nodded, "I'll see you later Lincoln," She told him
The two walked down the opposite ways down the Hallway but not before taking a quick glance at the other.

"So how was your day?" Sully asked Mazzy as he was changing into his black shirt and shorts
"it was Rough!" Mazzy replied, "I swear I didn't know lookout was such a boring job!" Mazzy told him
"Hey, that's my job you're talking about," Sully said with a grin
"I know, but you couldn't have been a scavenger?" Mazzy asked
"Look, I'm one of the best shots here, which means I'm needed here, protecting us," Sully said
Mazzy smiled and walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek, "I know" She told him
They lied on their bed and looked at the other. the two smiling, and Mazzy then turned around and set her alarm clock and they kissed before finally resting.
Later that night, around 5, Sully woke up, he looked to his alarm which hadn't gone off yet, he lied back down and tried to go back to sleep. After a couple of minutes he got up and knew he couldn't go back to sleep, he heard the soft breathing of Mazzy and knew she was still asleep. He put his socks and shoes on and left the room. He walked down the empty halls and then walked up the stairs until he was up on the roof. When he got there he saw Liam, and he was sitting on one of the chairs they had brought up here and he had with one of the Rifles that Lincoln and the others found.
Liam heard the door open and turned to see Sully
"Sully? what're you doing up here this late?" Liam asked
"Couldn't sleep" Sully replied and he grabbed another chair and took a seat next to Liam
"How've you been?" Liam asked
"I'm fine" Sully replied "you?"
Liam smiled, "Tabby and I have been doing great so I'm happy about that, She's helping Zach and Chaz work on another generator"
Sully nodded. Things were ok with Liam and Sully was glad for the kid. They continued to talk about what they saw some dumb stuff that Rotters doing. Sully had told Liam about the time he had seen a Rotter Fall down a manhole, and it looked like it was right out of a cartoon. They both had a good laugh at that. Suddenly they saw something red shoot out in the distance. the two stood up and Liam took a look through the rifle's scope to see what it was
"It's a flare," Liam said,
"how far away is it?" Sully asked
"1 or 2 miles away!" Liam cried with shock
Just then another flare shot into the sky from the left side of them and it appeared to be the same distance as the first, then from behind them shot another flare and then from the left shot another. Sully and Liam were shocked at the scene but then the flairs stopped
"What the fuck was that!?" Liam cried
"I don't know... But I don't like it" Sully replied
Suddenly from all directions Flares shot up in the sky, there were so many that they couldn't count but that wasn't all they saw. They then heard a whistling sound coming from the front of the school, they then saw ten sparks shoot up in the air and then a huge boom was heard then multiple booming sounds were heard. They were fireworks.
"Shit!" Sully said
"What the hell is going on!? who the hell is shooting off the fireworks!" Liam cried
"I don't know, but they shot the fireworks near the school, which means their leading Rotters right to us!" Sully said "Liam, see if you can find anyone out there! I gonna wake up Sam and Everyone else!"
"Got it!" Liam replied
Sully raced down the stairs to warn Sam and everyone else about the danger they had just seen and heard.

Sam woke up when she heard the booming sounds of explosions, so she quickly got up and looked out the window, where she could see fireworks shooting up in the air and exploding with light and sound, She quickly put her clothes on just as a knock hit her door, before being swing open, there was Sully in his PJ's
"Sam!" He shouted
"I know! what the hell is going on!?" she cried
"I don't know but I'm sure this is an attack!" Sully said
"Just wake up the others! we need to see what the fuck is going on!" Sam said
Sully nodded and ran to tell everyone else. Sam had agreed that they were under attack, but this... they way they were attacking, it wasn't something you come up with on the spot, this was something that was planned. The bigger question now was who and what did they want? and how many were there?
Sam walked out of her room, she had her pistol holstered before making her way to the gun's locker, and once there she could see some people grabbing guns. In the roo were, Sully, Mazzy, Carol, Dana, Becky, Tabby, Chandler, Maggie, Jordan, and Lincoln.
"We have enough rounds?" Mazzy asked Maggie
"Sure we do, what we took was like a fucking gold mine" Maggie responded
"I just hope we can hold off" Mazzy replied back
"We will, I mean besides that little show, I'm sure we could fight these guys off, besides what else could they have?" Maggie responded
They all grabbed their guns. Lincoln carried a MP-5 HK and walked to the front windows near the entrance of the school. Everyone took a different Window, which was two at each, but Sam had looked out the front door windows. Out front, there were 15 people outside all dressed like girl and boy scouts, Sam then noticed the sash that was around their chest's it was the Bluebell sash. The people stood outside in the front parking lot, about 12 of them had guns which seemed just to be pistols, while the other three had hunting bows.
"Hey! You in there!?" Cried a brunette female "We know you are! Come on out we just wanna talk!" She yelled
Sam knew that if she tried to go out she would most likely get shot and killed, she then turned to Sully
"Does Liam have a radio?" Sam asked
Sully nodded, "yeah, he's got one"
"do you have yours?"
"Yeah"
"hand it to me"
Sully unclipped the Radio from his belt and then tossed it to Sam. She caught it and then clicked the button to call Liam.
"Liam, it's Sam" She said "Do you see anymore of them from the roof?" She asked
Sam let go of the button and waited for a response, and after hearing a buzz on the other end, Liam answered
"/Nah, It's just the 15 that's in the front\" he responded
"Alright, keep a sharp eye out" She responded
"/You got it\" he replied
Sam then tossed the Radio back to Sully and looked back outside. There the 15 scouts still stood before the Brunette sighed and lowered her bow, looked to 2 other girls and they holster their pistols and they began walking to the front doors.
"We're coming halfway! we won't shoot as long as you don't shoot us!" the Brunette yelled
Carol then looked to Sam
"think we can trust them?" Carol asked
Sam looked back to her, "I don't know, but they were the ones who made all that noise" Sam replied "I'll go out there and talk to them"
"You're not going out there alone," Carol said, she had her AK-47 lowered
"I'll come with too," Lincoln said
"No, Linc you can't," Sam said "If things go south I need you in here... You're the one I trust the most to come up with a plan"
"Bullshit, let me help!" Lincoln said
"Lincoln she's right" Carol replied
Lincoln then turned to Carol
"From what I've heard from Maggie your plans seem to work out, and Sam trusts you... We need you here in case bullets start flying" Carol told him
Lincoln was mad but he took a breath and sighed in defeat, "Fine..." He replied
Sam faintly smiled and nodded, "Good" Sam holstered her pistol and with Carol by her side they walked out.
They walked halfway just like the three girls in front of them. When they were standing just feet apart Sam looked to the Brunette
"What do you want?" Sam asked
