Late afternoon before they got back to the others and Francine was first to scold while hugging and checking for injuries. Andy let her fuss then walked over to one side, finding Leo who told him there were a few bikes in garages probably. Time to look?

While Martha and Mickey held the floor telling everyone what they had seen, done … Andy told Leo while they broke locks and checked vehicles. Leo listened calmly, then when Andy wss done he asked "And if you had seen a group of people still alive on the cameras, trapped in a room …"

"Blazing guns, honour or death… we would have gone in" Andy nodded.

"But you didn't."

"No. Only that lone poor bastard. Everyone else looked gone." Andy sighed.

"And if there were other survivors they would have tried to get out, signal … be near cameras … I mean … anything else is not logical." Leo argued "so you all made the right decision. Why waste one of you for folly?"

"Yeah, that's what I decided" Andy said then the lock he was working on clicked and they pulled open the side door to the garage, staring in as Andy whooped with glee. A four wheeler that looked like a cross between a motorbike and some sort of space craft. A spider. All Terrain bike.

"We need the key" Leo said then gave a grunt of glee, a second one hiding behind the first. His one slightly smaller and definitely more feminine. They keys were hanging on hooks by the door to the house with the little key rings showing miniature versions of the bikes, so cute and totally crazy but good for them "Looks like a couple liked weekend warrioring?"

"Wow. This is … god. Love it!" Andy grinned "This means Martha can take that one, me this one and if frees up one of the other bikes for you!"

"Yeah. The kids are cool with mum and Dad… Tish is a good girl. Brian … can we have him for a decoy? If we get attacked we can shove him at them and run?" Leo asked, Andy giggling as he shoved at him.

"Come on, let see if they are fuelled up, bet they are" Andy said as he and Leo opened the large barn-like doors to the garage and soon they were driving the Spiders back to the pub where Martha immediately shoved at her brother, yelling "Swapsies!"

"Ya bully" he laughed good naturedly as he gave in to her, as he always had even when they were kids. He really wanted that red Ducati of Andy's anyway.

Andy started feeling better, more optimistic as he not only found himself and Mickey becoming firm friends but strangely they had both started flirting openly with Martha and ya know… maybe it did take two of them to wrangle her in.

Hamburgers.

Andy was relieved that they had not smelt them cooking, the smell of that place would linger for a while and the burgers were done to a T. He groaned as he ate, not caring about the juices trickling down his wrists or all over his face. He did note that he did need to shave again, the whiskers catching way too much run off.

Mickey laughed as he pointed it out as well and Andy grinned at him as he agreed. Tish waited until the men were washing up and went after sister "Hey. What is happening here? Are you playing them off against one another or something?"

"No. I think … well … we've not talked about it except to agree we stick tighter but…I think our joking about bring a poly family might actially be … well. I think we have agreed to be a threesome" she shrugged, then lit up as she heard herself "Yeah. They are moth mine. So what. I am greedy, you always say so."

"Oh my god!" Tish laughed as she shoved at her "You wanton woman. Both? I can't have one? God… when will I ever find me a man!"

"Your problem is that you want some Adonis that doesn't exist. The prefect man with dark skin, muscles to die for and a boyish charm yet with a killer temper and perfect shot from a moving vehicle … never gonna find that guy ya know. Actually.. I've not slept with either of them yet. Not like we have had the time" Martha grimaced.

"God, both together might almost be my dream man…. or…"

"God! No! Tish!" Martha laughed "No … maybe they can have turns or… that sounds terrible. More like … I get turns! Yeah. I will choose my bed mate for the evening depending on the night."

Oh my god. A Harem!" Tish giggled, throwing her arm around her sister as they headed back to the evening wind-down for the kids to hear people still up and about while they were falling asleep. Apparently it helped with nightmares.

Also … they didn't realise the adults were keeping guard at the same time.

Martha hoped at same stage they might find somewhere they can all live happily … as families in their own spaces. No way she could have sex anywhere near her parents. Or her brother. Well …anyone.

And she was finding herself wanting to.
