"You idiot! You went too far this time!" Drew yelled from their car as he saw us running. "Get in the car and get us back before they catch up!" Andy ran up to the passenger seat and hopped in, slamming the door behind him. I considered joining them in their car but thought better of it and got into mine instead, determined to tag along with these guys until a better alternative came along.
We drove for ages and after what seemed like forever, they drove into a town I'd never heard. The place looked a wreck - windows were boarded up, doors were blocked and there was litter everywhere. They pulled up infront of a small cottage that seemed to have no entrance and got out of their car. I hadn't realised how long we'd been driving until I saw it was light again.
"Where are we?" I asked as I got out of my car and joined the two men as they walked around the cottage.
"None of your business bitch, go home." Drew muttered.
"Don't be like that Drew. If you want this place to work, we're gonna have to get people together, and so far you're already abusing the only one we've got." Andy said. He turned to look at me. "So how is this gonna work?"
"How is what going to work?" I yawned, suddenly feeling tired.
"You and us. The 3 Musketeers. Whatever you want to call it, we have no choice but to stick together now. Knowing people are still alive is great but when they turn you away it sucks, so we need to know you're not going to do that to us."
"Uh-of course not! What, are you inviting me to.. be with you guys?" I stammered.
"Well I am, I just don't know about Drew. The last group of people we had with us went off with half of our supplies and the majority of our weapons. Biters aren't the only threat you know."
I still didn't know what the biters where that they were talking about, but I vowed to Drew that I wouldn't betray them, and said I had my own stuff in my car. Drew told Andy to help me to unload it, and though he was reluctant, he helped me after some persuasion. The situation was awkward but, despite his ignorance, I apologised to him about his family and said I'd do all I could to help, if he just explained to me what was going on.
