:D THIRD STORY UPDATED TODAAAYYY! ;D
so please read and review this one and the others ;]
Slack slid the door shut just as the truck took off, and she walked over to Riley, somewhat shyly.
"You have blood here..." She muttered, taking ahold of under his chin. His cheeks lit up a sweet peppermint red as he began to mumble incoherently.
"We almost lost you there." She caressed the side of his face. Charlie hummed happily from his spot behind me, and I flicked around the with the bobbles that turned the volume up on the Cholo-cam.
"You alright?" Foxy asked, patting him on the back, just missing the camera.
"Yeah yeah.." He muttered angrily as he hopped into Woody. We were already mowing down the road. Slack had plopped down in a seat, bringing up several different types of maps. A GPS data uplink popped up, showing a black and green outline of the city. Riley pointed to that map, as the main area of the city was circled in red.
"What was built to keep people safe is now gonna-"
"Trap them inside.." I muttered the end of Riley's sentence as he nodded grimly at me. I huffed, clenching Charlie's hand as my eye's darted to the Cholo cam. He was in the passengers seat, and apparently they were driving towards the west. I bit my lip, looking sternly at the map.
"We need to tell them! We need to get the people out!" I said, reaching for the little hand radio in front of me. Riley nodded, going over towards Pretty Boy. I clicked onto the station for The Green, and I called the military base that controlled the fences.
"Call them. We'll pull up and pick people up. There should also be other military vehicles around to transport the people." Riley said, looking out the dusty windshields. Pretty Boy steered the truck, the road a bit bumpy as we neared the city.
"This is Karter in the Reckoning. Open up those fences and let the people out." I said into the radio, causing odd looks to come at me.
"Karter?" Slack chuckled from her swivel chair, causing me to spin around and glare.
"I was taught to tell people of autority my real name! Even if it's only my last! Probably sicker than yours!" I cried, sticking my tongue out at her childishly. She shook her head, her dark hair swishing around.
"Mine's Yorah." She laughed, slapping her knee. I laughed too, but we silenced once the radio crackled to life.
"Its too hot! We can't cut the juice from here! We tried the power people and there's no one left over there!" An elderly man screamed over the radio. Charlie's short finger nails dug into my legs as he gripped me against him. I heard a voice.
"We need to get the fuck out of here!" A tiny little voice shouted over the gun fire. I froze, practically stuffing my face into the radio.
""I'll tell you what, there's no one left here either!" The scruffy sounding man screamed as he slammed the receiver down. Riley slammed his hands on the ladder, glaring ahead.
"Fucking morons..they're killing all those people." He mumbled to himself, but I heard him.
"Riley..please..we gotta save the people..please...please.." I begged, getting off Charlie's lap and kneeling down in front of Riley. He sighed, rubbing his hand through his hair as his eyes darted around the room. He was getting puppy dog stares from everyone, and he finally eyed me down, a small smile on his face. '
"We'll try..As hard as we can." He said softly, and I jumped up, wrapping my arms around him in a giant hug. He seemed shocked for a moment, but a chuckle rumbled through his chest as he patted my head. I let go, stumbling over to go lay down on a couch further in the back of the truck. I laid down, faintly recognizing Charlie picking me up and laying down, and placing me back down on top of him. I choked softly, tears spilling out.
"I sobbed brokenly as Charlie stroked my hair. He tugged his hat down further over my ears. Just thinking about all those people who were going to lose their lives ripped my heart apart.
"Peace.." I looked up at the sad blue eyes.
"You'll never be lost. Always got me." He said happily, his own eyes tearing up. We wrapped our arms around each other, not sleeping but just preparing for all hell to break loose. I sniffed, snuggling further into his chest, as we sat and watched the Cholo-cam from across the room. Slack was sitting beside Riley, quietly bickering over some digital maps, as Pretty Boy and Pilsie were sitting side by side, driving the truck, Pilsie's arm wrapped around her shoulders. I sighed happily, love was around the truck, spreading faster than the zombie plague.
"We can rocket those fences" Pilsie said, pointing at the electronic map.
"How will we get across?" Charlie asked, his voice sending vibrations through his chest, making a nice humming sound against my ear.
"The bridges wont get us into the city; they're all bricked up." Pretty Boy announced, nodding towards the roads in front of her.
"Well let's just fucking blast our way through!" Slack shouted as I sniffled like a little kid, sitting up on Charlie's lap as he still was laying down.
"No, we cant do that. There's a war going on over there. We cross any of these bridges we're gonna end up right in the middle of it. We have to come in outside the 'throat'" Riley said softly, being the usual voice of reason and logic for our little group. A gunshot was heard from the Cholo-cam, and we all shut our mouths, our orbs focusing on the monitor.
BANG.
