Chapter 53: Crawford Part 2
Axel's POV
Me and the brothers are heading back down to the first floor through the upstairs.
Then we heading into another a hall, but no lockers this time. "Okay, this way. And no noise, we don't even know if all of Crawford is really dead." Tim whispered and approach to a door.
"If there are some alive, just let me know." Benjamin said with an anger tone as I raised one of my eyes in doubtful.
What's with his grudge against Crawford? It sounds like it's personally than business.
When we got in the school canteen, we saw there was many of food tables in four rows and to other side, there's a kitchen where when the pupil have to get food from there to eat.
"So, how'd you supposed to carry so much food and water when you don't have any sacks or bags?" I asked and noticed the brothers don't have any to carry supplies.
"We are not going to carry any of them, that thing will do." Benjamin said and pointed with his finger at some things right on the left corner of this room as I looking at them.
There was two carts I see what Benjamin talking about that we're going to use them to carry supplies as much we can with our arms, but how we gonna get out of here with them?
"I see and how we get these out of here with load of supplies? These carts will make a noise as hell." I inquired.
"When we got all what we came for, me and Benny will move cart with load of supplies away from this hellhole and get back to the house quickly before geeks will notice us." Tim said and went to those carts. He grabbed one of these and rolling it to the kitchen and scoffing, "Well, times to shop."
As Benjamin did the same thing with the other cart, but glare at his brother and hissing, "I told you don't call you me that." I frowned at him for telling so loudly that he could have warn walkers that we are here.
"Will you stop complaining about any goddamn nicknames? Geez, you could have dinging the dinner bell for the dead." I retorted as Benjamin starring at with an annoying glare while he rolling the cart after his brother into the kitchen as I was behind them and follow while watching their backs.
While we walking, I took a look around the floor and found some empty bullets. It seems like Crawford had a walker problem or did they fighting each other for food? Then I see some bloodstains and on the wall too.
Eww... what the hell did really happen in here? It seems like someone have fight in here, really brutal.
Then I see a corpse under one of dinner tables as I prepare my hidden blade in case if it's a walker will get up and try to attack us.
When I approach it and bends down to see the face...
Oh my god... The face is almost beaten deeply and his eyes is popped out, someone has beat this man really hard. What the hell?
Then I notice something in his left hand, I grabbed the hand and grab that thing off.
I holding that thing right forward my face and looking at it closer. It looks like a little white crystal but unlike the other, it didn't shinning as I holding my flashlight front of it with my other hand.
Is that a... no, it can't be...
Well, there's a only way to find out, but... it will be little risky in my age as Mr T mentioned that. I looking to the left and see the brothers just poking around the kitchen to find supplies. Boys didn't still notice what I'm doing now, but they will starring strangely at me after when I...
I reach the "crystal" closer to my nose and...
When I was going to smell, I notice there was a little zip lock bag right behind of the corpse. I laying the crystal down from my nose and reached out to the zip lock bag to grab it.
I take a look at it and there was a symbol on it. It shows three claws of an animal, probably wolf. I wide my eyes with a know look.
No way! It's the symbol of The Pack!
I just starring at the crystal and the zip lock bag with symbol of The Pack.
This crystal must be The Pack's homemade drugs, silver drugs.
Then I looking at the corpse in disbelief.
Huh? Where the hell did you get these drugs from, my rotten friend?
I shrugged shoulders and stand up on my feet. I walk away and leave the corpse behind with his last drug.
I smirked. Glad I didn't have to try to sniff and I'm not gonna be dependent by them either.
I approach the brothers after through past the kitchen desk. Benjamin noticed me and ask, "What the hell are you doing over there?" I raised one of my eyes in doubtful and say, "Nothing, just nothing. Except that, there is no walkers or geeks as you two call them. Anyway, what do you think what happened in Crawford?"
Benjamin got a disgusted expression on his face and he glares everywhere in this room while loading many cans in his cart. "Don't know, or maybe this one; don't CARE either. Whatever what happened here, these bastards got what they deserved for what they have done with older, weak people and kids." Benjamin growled.
I guess so...
"Not even a sympathetic for few of them who died here, huh?" I said and frown at Benjamin. "Hey, I can say they can go and rot among of the dead with Oberson." Benjamin said sarcastic.
Oberson? Who is it?
"Oberson who?" I asked.
"The fucker who runs this place or he was." Benjamin replied.
I see... wait a minute, how the hell does he know about Crawford's leader?!
"How the hell do you know him?" I asked and crossed my arms over my chest. Benjamin looks little worriedly and look away from me to continue loading supplies in the cart.
"I can say me, Timothy and Molly have our own reasons." Benjamin said without looking at me which it made me little skeptical. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"I think he means we might just stop talking about this damn place. Whatever he saying about Crawford, I agree with him." Tim mumbled with an anger tone.
I shrugged my shoulders and went to Tim who loading cans into his cart.
It seems like it's a good time to tell him about the offer. The boat ain't gonna hold more than five people, so the only way if somebody doesn't want left in this damn city behind is to go with the brothers and Molly. I wish Emily was here in this decision. I sighed and take a breath.
Before I was going to speak with him, I take a look through a window and see some walkers walking in the street. It seems like they're heading into this place, but they didn't notice us... yet.
I turned to Tim and say, "Hey, I wanna talk about the offer."
Tim stop load supplies and looking at me. "Yeah?" Tim said. "You... were right. Before we left from the house, we found out the boat ain't gonna hold all my group, so... I'm going with you guys unless you three don't try do any stupid." I said with a little strict tone in my voice.
"We won't. It would be nice to have some good people with us." Tim said with a smile as I nodded. "Sure it is." I agree.
"So which will come with you? Did you talk anyone about it already?" Tim asked as I lower my face down. "No, well... Lee and Kenny actually, but they are shocked and was misunderstanding. Split up is one of tough decisions for a group. Despite that, Cath and her sister will definitely come with me. Doug too and... Ben, but-" I explained, but cut off by Benjamin.
"Ben? That coward college teenager? You're really wanna bring him with us?! Honestly, I don't see he doesn't have any guts to handle a couple of geeks." Benjamin said sarcastic as Tim rolled his eyes annoying.
I sighed out and close my eyes. I hate to admit it, but he's right. Ben left Cath and Clem behind with the walkers without trying to defend them. He didn't even move a finger to reach them.
"I can say more than that coward, but he's Emily's friend and I don't think Emily would agree about leaving him behind if..." I said, but trailed off.
If he not screwing around here and get us in trouble with walkers.
"So where are you guys heading for? I mean you must have sort of a plan about where we going to." I asked.
Tim leaned behind and jump on the desk to sit on it. "Molly has a good uncle somewhere on the north, we heard some rumors from Crawford that there is so many communities are building up on the north, a future for we, survivors. We decide heading to the north when we're ready for it and hope Molly will find her uncle there." Tim replied which I smirk lightly.
Tim noticed my smirk and raised one of his eyes in doubtful. "Something funny?" Tim asked.
"Well, it's really surprise that there's a lot people putting their own weight on hope. Even him too?" I chuckles and pointing at Benjamin who still load supplies on his own cart and didn't heard or noticed my statement. Tim just nod and say, "Yeah? So what? There's always a reason for anything, including the north."
I shook my head in disappointment.
"And you, your brother and Molly just don't know where's exactly the destination on the north like where can you guys find Molly's uncle and haven't figured out that there's probably some fucking crazy fuckers like Crawford out there?" I inquired which Tim glaring at me and get off the desk. He approach me and say, "Hey, let me tell you something; I worry about my brother and Molly, and you worry about Cath and your friends." Tim snap gently.
Whoa, whoa, slow down there.
"Take it easy. I'm not judging about your actions." I say calmly. "Some of us have relatives and friends on the north too."
Wonder if Cath's oldest sister is there on the north too. Patrick, Lance and probably Lauren too could be there too as I heard Patrick mentioned about heading towards the north right when I quick, and that was the last time I've heard anything from 'em.
Tim sighed out and say, "Then I guess we're going to find some our folks, but not already after we move away from Savannah." Tim said and take last cans from a larder.
I take a look at the cart with bunch of food and water too.
Holy shit! That's so many for some months. I see we got some caviar too.
"Okay, I think that's everything. Benjamin?" Tim call to his brother to see how's going with him. "I'm done here too. Let's moving." Benjamin replied and pull his cart with supplies to roll as Tim did same with his own.
I follow after them and we heading back to the door where we came in. We all three leaving from the canteen, I stay little a moment and take a look around of the canteen.
Then I heard Benjamin growling something as I turned back and went through the door to see what's going.
"Benjamin! It's dead, bro." Tim say as I go towards him and see Benjamin kicking a walker who trying to getting up, but the sarcastic teenager hit right in the gut.
"You fucking MONSTER!" Benjamin exclaimed.
What the hell is he doing?
"Benjamin...?" I say, but he didn't listen and keep kicking at the walker.
Is he fucking around? I sighed annoying and went right to him. I stomp right on the head and blood spread out from it.
Benjamin look shock and disappointed about what I just did. "I have this under control!" Benjamin hissed and grab me by my shirt.
I glare at him by his naive and arrogance.
Under control?! Like kicking at a walker by the rage?!
"What? You were just kicking at this fucker, right at the gut instead the head and spilling our time here. What's going on between you and him right now?" I inquired and pull Benjamin away from and he lost his grip on my shirt.
Benjamin shoot a glare toward me.
"That's not your concern. He almost jump on me." Benjamin shot back and storming away with the cart as I glaring at him.
What the hell is wrong with him?
Then I realize that he's not heading back to upstairs instead to the door where we came in here this school.
"Where are you going?" I asked, but he didn't answer.
"We are going back to the sewer and take supplies into there. Why would you go back to the others and see everything is fine?" Tim said as I still glaring at Benjamin.
"Are you sure you two will be fine out there with walkers?" I asked doubtfully.
"We will. And, don't bother Benjamin. Sometime he can be reckless." Tim said.
No doubt about that.
"It's okay. By the way, what was that with that walker?" I asked.
"He came right from a door, right there. When Benny passed through." Tim replied.
Really? But it seems like he kicked that walker for personality.
"I see, but it looks like you and your brother know him like you two knew about the leader of Crawford." I said as Tim looking away from me. "Do you know these people?"
Tim looking at me. "Look, just... let me and Benny handle supplies first and then I will tell..." Tim said, but he trailed off and went away with cart to his brother.
I raise one of my eyes in hesitant and cross my arms over chest. These two are from here, probably. As I heard how Molly "guessed" where we can find medicines, she's from here too. I stare at the walker the same one Benjamin kicked on it. These people must have done horrible things to them.
I turned around and went to the upstairs, back to classroom where we all to meet there again.
