Chapter 15
…Past…
…Ivy's POV…
He leaned his forehead against mine, "It's just that I really care about you and I don't know what I'd do without you."
I leaned up and kissed him lightly, "Well, I don't plan on going anywhere, anytime soon."
Instead of replying, he just captured my lips with his. I closed my eyes, draping my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist and held me to him.
We just stood there and kissed, it was as if we were the only two people on that highway.
Well that was until a loud cough echoed through the cars, causing us to jump apart.
We looked towards the RV and saw Dale standing there with a smile on his lips.
He chuckled, "Since you are done. I think it is about time that we address the problem at hand."
"What problem?"
…Present…
…Ivy's POV…
"What problem?" I walked up to the RV with Glenn trailing after me.
Dale leaned against the RV, "The belt is shot and I don't have any way of fixing it." He glanced towards the open front of the RV then to the car graveyard.
I rested my hand on his shoulder, "I bet we can find one that works." I sigh, "There is only one problem."
Glenn rested his hand on my waist, "What is that?"
I looked back at him, "We are going to be stuck out in open. On a major highway too."
They nodded, "Then we better get searching. The belt isn't going to fix itself."
Glenn and I told the others about needing to search for the belt for the RV. The men decided that it was their job to look for the belt, while the women looked for food, medicine, and whatever else we might need. As I moved around some of the cars and already gathered supplies, I felt eyes staring holes into the back of my head. I look back and saw that Carol looking at me. She smiled gratefully, then glanced at Sophia; who was sitting on an open tailgate. She was going through a big backpack, trying to find anything useful.
Carol leaned over to her and whispered something in her ear, causing her to glance down at the bag then nod. Carol smiled, softly, then went back to searching the car in front of her. I shook my head and went about my way. I moved about six of seven cars away from the others, not being able to handle her stares anymore.
Once I determined that I was far enough away, I decided on searching a stuffed looking VW bug. It was a dull green color, but I could tell that it used to be a ghastly bright green color. I sighed and wiggled the door handle. It opened without much trouble, thank god. I searched the glove box, finding a pack of gum and some of old fast food napkins.
I put the napkins and gum onto the seat, getting out of the car to get a better view of the trunk. There were several large luggage bags piled on top of each other, making it difficult to keep them from spilling out. I groaned any pulled out the top bag, nearly dropping it on my foot.
The bag was black and fancy looking. I unzipped the bag and nearly gasped. The bag was filled with ammo. Boxes of different types of ammo were piled into the bag, making it really heavy. I quickly zipped it back up and moved it off to the side. The second bag was filled with several different types of handguns. Feeling confused, I moved around to the front seat. I opened the glove box, pulling out the cars paper work.
Valerie Hart DOB 05/22/1992
The owner of this little bug was barely legal. There is no way that she could have gotten possession of all of these weapon without looking suspicious or looting a gun store. This isn't right. I stood up from the front seat, surveilling the area for anyone outside my group. I flinched when the bushes on the other side of the highway moved, due to the slight breeze blowing by. I shook my head and went back to the back of the car.
I checked the other bags; finding canned food, medical supplies, and clothes in different sizes and styles. I pulled it all out and tried to drag it back to the others. It was hard, but I made it about half way before T and Daryl noticed me struggling to drag the bags.
The dropped what they were doing and rushed over to help me. T and Daryl grabbed the bags filled with guns and ammo.
"Thanks." I grunted, dragging the other bags behind me.
"Where did ya find this stuff?" T asks, tightening his grip on the ammo bag.
I gestured back the way I came, "In a VW Bug."
Daryl snorted, "Seriously?"
I chuckled and drop the bags down in front of the RV, "Seriously. Though, something didn't feel right."
"What do you mean?" Daryl asks, setting the bag down.
I shrugged, "I felt like I was bein' watched. And something was off about the car." I sat down on the ground, "The car was registered to a Valerie Hart. She was only 18. She couldn't have stock pilled all of this without looking suspicious or doing it illegally."
Isis walked up, sweat dripping down her forehead, "What are you talking about?"
T gestured to the bags, "This stuff."
She bent down, "What is all of this?"
"Guns, ammo, canned food, clothes, medical supplies. Stuff like that." I answered.
"And you found all of this in one car?" Dale asks, walking from around the RV.
I nodded, "In one little green VW bug."
"Huh." He shrugged.
The others started to gather around us, all looking confused and concerned. "I think that we need to search the area farther up the road or at least the cars. Just to make sure that there isn't any other group out there, waiting to attack us." Rick stated, resting his hands on his waist.
Shane nodded, resting his hand on his gun, "Ivy, take us to where you found the bags and we will go from there."
I stood up and dusted off my pants, "Let me put these bags up." Shane and Rick nodded, telling T and Daryl to help me.
They picked up the two heaviest bags, leaving me with the bag of clothes and medical supplies. I carried the bags to the back of my Humvee, popping the back door open. The boys shoved the bags in it, not taking into account my organization pattern. I groaned and shoved my bags in there. I shut it, following after the guys.
I led Shane, Rick, T, Daryl, Glenn, and Isis towards the green VW Bug. I froze.
Shane walked into my back, "Woah. What's wrong?"
I pointed to the car, "I shut the trunk door." The others gathered around, finally noticing the open hatch. "I made sure to shut it." I walked up, glancing into the trunk. I gasped and stepped back.
Glenn came up and wrapped his arms around my waist. He peaked over my shoulder. Once he saw what I did, he tightened his grip on my waist.
"What the hell?"
