I do not own any of the characters of Left for Dead or the game…..if I did I would so not have put that pink thong on the spitter. Ewww!

p.s. please review I'm kind of contemplating whether or not I should continue. Suggestions will be welcome. Please no strong insults or language.

-Dxlilith- thank you for your review you are awesomeness embodied. And I love your advice and suggestions

Previously on EDEN

Nick reflects on the life he once had while everyone sits for a meal prepared by AAA.

Note AAA is pronounced triple A…like the battery

We now continue w/ our story

Coach let out a large burp and chuckled, "That was deliscious"

Nick and Ellis let out simultaneous burps and knocked fists together.

"Ditto"

"Keith would have loved this"

AAA stood up with a serious expression on her face. Everyone stared and waited for her to say something when she let out the biggest burp of all. All three men's jaws dropped as AAA's burp continued and everyone was put to shame. She sat down and smoothed out her shirt.

"Now that we've established my dominance" AAA said with a grin, "let's talk. What do you guys want to know"

"Well for starters, why is this safe house so well supplied?"

"Eden came here about a month ago with supplies to help wandering survivors and make a clean sweep"

"How do you know that?"

"Cause I was with them."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"It means I'm part of Eden, my team and I came down here about a month ago to sweep and resupply this town. We killed about 20,000. There's still a couple thousand wandering here and there but most of the special infected were killed or corralled."

"Tell that to Roche" Nick muttered bitterly, Coach and Ellis elbowed him.

"Hey there's not much we can do about hunters, their faster and stealthier than all the others. We got all the witches in one area, god knows that was hard enough, and locked them up."

"How'd you manage that?"

"They like the smell of sugar and sweet things. A friend of mine got the idea when he was passing through a sugar mill and found 20 witches in the area. We put a bunch of sugar cane and bags of sugar in a warehouse waited a week and when we came back there were 15 witches in the building and a few wandering in the nearby streets. Tanks were harder, we took them down however we could, same with the others. "

Coach remembered when his team had to go through a sugar mill and wondered if it was the same one.

"What's Eden?" Ellis finally asked the question that had been on everyone's minds.

"Survivors that weren't allowed into military or refugee compounds or do not trust the military. A lot of us got shot at or heard rumors about the experiment facility. Sadly enough most of them are true. We have a compound North from here, FAR North. We were building a wall around the compound and came down here to collect some of the harvestable foods from the farms and do our sweep."

"Why are you still here?"

"Someone in my group betrayed me, he didn't like my ideas or the fact that I have power in Eden so he knocked me out while a horde attacked us and I'm pretty sure he told my team members I was dead."

"Power?"

"Not much, they called me the architect. I designed the walls and new city plans. Also work schedules and guard rotations. But my opinion is highly valued." AAA shrugged her shoulders "All of my proposals worked so people trusted me."

"How come you haven't gone back?"

"Can't, we destroyed all roads going there. I could try to go through the woods but in all likelihood I might be mistaken for an infected and get shot by one of the snipers on the outer wall. I was going to use one of the radios in the safe houses but Connor destroyed them all. I can't figure out how to fix them."

"Ellis is a mechanic maybe he can have a look at it."

"Hey if it works I'll take out the ice cream to celebrate."

"And if it doesn't?" Nick asked.

AAA closed her eyes for a moment… "It has to, cause if it doesn't there's no way we're going to survive much longer. Life on the road is hard, the longer you're on the road the harder is gets. Safe houses get depleted, food starts to run out, bandits attack you, not to mention the fact that you have to deal with the walking dead and the military trying to kill you. No we have to get to Eden. It's the only safe place."

"What makes you think we're going with you?" Nick yelled angrily.

AAA blinked and apologized "Sorry, I just wanted to bring you guys along, but if you're going somewhere or you don't want to goto Eden I guess that's fine"

Ellis put a hand on her shoulder, "Thea it's not that, we just need to talk about it before we rush into it"

She smiled and started gathering up all the plates, "well I'll leave you guys to discuss this, I'll take a plate up to Rochelle. While you three talk, by the way I made brownies so help yourselves."

She left with a steaming bowl and a baked potato. Once she was out of sight Ellis punched Nick.

"OW, what was that for!"

"For being a bad guest"
