Chapter 20

Axel's POV

A while ago after the incident, we had arrived into the countryside and there was a two-story house on a hill. On the left of the house was a barn, a gazebo and a crop field all around the property. The property is protecting by an electric fence.

Not bad for these farmers to keep this place safe. But still...

"Here it is. St. John family dairy. Y'all can see how we've kept this place so safe." Andy said as Doug get closer to the fence and bend down to take a look closer at it with his fascinating look.

Well Doug, good luck with your "science" lesson.

"The fence keeps them out?" Mark asked impressing while Doug bend up and follow after as he is right behind us.

"You bet! They fry like bugs in a zapper! We're pushing four thousand bolts of electricity through it with generators and amps." Andy answered and scoffed little.

Wow. Those men doesn't look like smart, but their appearances doesn't judging about it.

"Oh, wow, you guys must know a thing or two thing about running wire." Doug said impressing. "Had a guy who did, yeah." Danny said.

What, wasn't they who did the fence?

"Who?" I asked curious. "Our formerly foreman, Mac, he was able to create some amazing stuffs." Andy said which it made me little surprised to hear that name.

Mac?! Is it the same Mac who is or was the member of... no, no, no, come on Axel. You start become paranoia.

"I'm going to assume that's a lot." Carley said when we arrived to the gate.

I looking at the dairy, the fence and the country as Lee did the same. There was no walker in this place and it seems like that this place doesn't have changed since this shit started. But still about the fence...

"Ever have any accidents?" I asked and sent a questionable glance to the brothers.

"Nah" Danny mumbled to answer and Danny turned around to answer me. "It's safer here than out there." Danny said careful to do not worry about the fence.

Hmm... well okay. But how could they live in this place when there is bunch of people who raid the camps and shooting each other in the woods.

"We've got kids in our group. It doesn't seem safe for them to be close to that fence." Lee said with worry in his eyes.

Good point, Lee. Cath will not touch the fence. Clementine probably will not do that, but her innocent will make her curious to touch the fence. Duck... well, he is an annoying kid sometimes who wanna have fun and what if he's in trouble again just like back in Hershel's farm.

"Oh don't worry about that." Andy said calm. "We've got plenty to keep 'em entertained."

"This place looks untouched! You'd never know the rest of the world is in ruins." Carley said. "Yeah, you guys have got enough electricity to run the whole place." Doug said and look impressed.

This time I have to admit that they've right. This place seem security and safe, but still... is weird and mystery.

"It's worth protecting, hence all the juice." Andy said to Carley and Doug.

Then I see an older woman who carried a wooden basket and she approached us. She is red-haired and around fifty years.

"I thought I saw y'all with company comin' down the drive." the red-haired woman said who stand right next to the brothers. "Guys, this is our mama." Andy introduce us.

Well, well, these family reminds me little about my own family except dad and his family-side.

"I'm Brenda St. John, and welcome to the St. John Dairy." Brenda said happily. "Thanks, I guess." I said with my low tones.

"This here's Lee and that boy over there is Axel. They're from Macon." Andy introduce us to his mother which it made her more happy to hear that.

"A couple of our old farmhands were from Macon. They grow em good there." Brenda said.

If I knew how it feels to grow up in Macon whole time. I rolled my eyes and sighed out.

"They got a few more friends staying at the old motel." Danny said. "Oh, my goodness, that place is pretty vulnerable. Have you got someone with survival experience to lead your group?"

Come on, Lee. Just tell them that you are the leader.

"I've got things under control over there." Lee said as I nods at the St Jones.

"Well, I hope you know what you're doing. That place isn't safe like it is here. Now that y'all are here, we'll make sure you're safe and comfortable." Brenda said.

"Thanks for the offer, but we'll see. Anyway, we're awful hungry." I said as Brenda present us a bunch of fresh breads in the basket. "These are for y'all. Baked fresh in the morning." Brenda said.

"Holy Molly!" Doug exclaimed as he accepted the basket and ate a couple of breads in his mouth. Mark, Lee and Axel stared Doug who still he continued to eat the rolls.

Geez, Doug. Don't eat all.

Then he noticed his group looking and feels little ashamed of it. "Sorry." Doug said with his mouth full and crumbs falling down from his face.

"Can't get stuff like that anymore, not without a cow for milk and butter, that's for sure." Danny said as he shaking his head with a sadly look.

"That's right. Hopefully, Maybelle will make it through this bout of whatever she's got and will be with us for a good long while." Brenda said sadly.

Huh? Make it through this? Wait, their cow is...

"Your cow is sick? What's she-?" But Lee was cut off by Mark who shows right front of the St Jones with a hopefully face. "We have a vet! We could bring her here! We can help you folks out."

What? Mark! What the hell are you doing? I was chocked and frowned at him. Then I see Brenda and her sons look happy over those words from Mark.

"A vet? Oh my, our prayers have been answered!" Brenda exclaimed happily. "Maybe our whole group could come… for the day." Mark said.

Whoa! Hold on, Mark. Since when you planned about this for our whole group? Me and and Lee look each other with skeptical glance about Mark's idea. I guess Lee might have agree about the deal, but not bring the whole group here already.

"Well, how about this, y'all go get your veterinary friend and I'll prepare some dinner, a big feast for all you hungry souls. It'll be nice to have some folks to help out around here again. Danny, why don't you come help me out in the kitchen." Brenda said as Danny nods his mother and they went back to their house.

"Why don't I head back with the food and round everyone up for the trip over here." Carley said. "I'm going with you." Doug agree.

"Might wanna take someone with you. Remember, those roads can be dangerous." Danny referred about the bandits in the woods.

"I can handle myself." Carley said with a little strictly tone.

Yup, no one can mess with this lady.

"No problem, Ben and Travis coming with me and Carley." Doug said and look at the boys who nods carefully at him to agree as they're afraid of the woods.

"Be careful out there." I said as they nods. Mark handed his rifle to Doug. "Here, take this." Mark said as Doug accepted. "Just in case if Carley need little help when you're in trouble."

"Thanks." Doug said as he accepted the rifle and straps it on his back. Before they walk back to the motel, Carley getting closer Lee and kiss right on his cheek. "Take care of yourself, Lee. See you guys in a while." Carley said and went with Doug and the boys while she blushing as Lee did same.

Well, well, Lee have a girlfriend, he, he, it's about time. I smirked little as Lee who blushed give me a warning look which it made me to be quiet.

Then I turned around as Lee and Mark did same and to talk with Andy. And Mark better have explanations why we have to bring our whole group to this dairy. Dinner is just a temporarily meat for a day.

"Axel, Mark, Lee, why don't you take a look around. Once ya get settled in, I could use some help securing the perimeter." Andy said. "Is there a problem?" Lee asked.

Why do we need to secure the fence when it have electricity can shock and kill the walkers?

"Sometimes, the dead get tangled up in the fence before they fry and end up knocking over a post. It'd be a big help if you can walk the perimeter." Andy explained the problem.

"I see. So we need to move the corpses away from the fence, right?" I said with a questionable look. "Exactly. You can learn something about our fence. I'm gonna go top off the generators before they run dry. Come get me when you're ready." Danny said and walk to the generators while he carrying two tanks of gas.

"This place is incredible! It's got food, and that fence- Oh man, that fence! If we play our cards right, this might turn out to be a place we can stay. So, how do you guys wanna play this?" Mark said as I give him a glare about his idea which he looks wondering why I'm did do that while Lee look around before he answered.

"Before we can think about bringing our whole group here to stay, we need to figure out if this place is as safe as they say." Lee said logically as I nods to agree with him.

That sounds like a good plan.

"Right. Obviously, they think it's safe, but is it safe enough for the kid?" Mark said with questionable look. "You guys have didn't noticed a broken swing, right over there." I said and pointing at tree with a broken swing. "It's not a big deal, but maybe there are more things not working that we haven't seen yet."

"You're right, all we need do is check on the fence perimeter, it sounds like a decent way to get a good look at their defenses." Lee agree with me. "All right, I'll keep my eyes open and you find out what you can from Andy." Mark said.

Me and Lee nods and we open the gate and Lee closed it after.

30 seconds later

It's... a beautiful place that I have to admit, but it still something is weird like that barn example. Then I heard Andy calls out to Lee who checking out the swing.

"That old swing has been there ever since Dan and I were little. Back in the day, we had some kids come over in field trips from their schools and we'd give all tours around the whole dairy. They used to love that old thing even more than the tour sometimes." Andy told about his family's days before the walkers shows up.

I sighed and close my eyes to remember about me, Chris and Megan who always had fun in the park when we were so young. Before I could getting far in the memory, there was someone who blocking in my head... no, let go of me! I don't wanna have you in my head! I see a woman who wear a green military clothes and have a black hair.

"You can't pull on your weight, if you do, people will use your gift... and then everything will be destroyed."

I was so angry and can't stop listening those words.

GET OUT OFF MY HEAD.

"Hey, kid. Are you okay?" I opened my eyes and it was Andy who asked me. "I'm... I'm fine." I answered with a low tones as Andy look at me with a no-understanding face.

Then I see Lee saw a plank. I guess Lee want to fix the broken swing, it would be fun for the kids in this place. Then I turned around ans looking at the barn again. Before I could reach the gate to the barn, Andy noticed and interrupted me.

"Hey... What are ya fixing to do around the barn?" Andy asked as he bend up and sent a skeptical glance towards me.

Shit! What should I say? Okay...

"Um... how secure is your barn? Having a safe place for a cow is pretty important." I said careful. "Thanks to the fence, nothing gets in here anymore. Unfortunately the deadies took most of our candle before we got it running." Andy answered and his face was sympathy over the worst day in the dairy.

I guess they had a hell day than we the group had. But still...

"Mind if I take a look?" I asked. "Sure, but why don't we do that after we tend to the perimeter?" Andy asked and bend down to get back to work with the generators.

Well, we will. But why is he bother when I was going to the barn? I assume it might be private stuff in the barn, but the safety have changed the rules about privacy.

Then I looking at the generators and noticed a symbol the left of it. What the... could it be?

"What is it?" I mumbled as Andy heard of me and he misunderstanding that I ask a question about it.

"Generator. You guys came along with gas just in time." But I ignored what he said and bend down to look little closer at the symbol on the generator. The symbol shows a screwdriver and a little world as screw.

No, no, no. No way, it is symbol of the V.I.R.U.S. How the fuck the St Jones got a object like this one from a gang of illegal and smart-ass fixes?!
