Bruce walked into faiths cell and woke her up, by repeatedly saying 'ay.'
Her eyes slowly opened, she glared at Bruce with an annoyed face. "What do you want?" She hissed.
"Remember how you agreed on helping out the community last night, well it's time, c'mon." He replied
"Yeah, I did say that but the sun hasn't even risen yet," She said yawning.
"I see you're not an early bird, but your still gonna get up and work out with me," Bruce said ecstatically.
The words workout got faith to roll under her covers, "No, I'm good I'd rather sleep."
"C'mon don't be a scardey cat," Bruce said taking a step towards her, "Okay how about a deal or a bet?" He leaned in.
Intrigued she uncurled from the covers and sat up, her back against the wall. "What exactly is this bet?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"The deal is if you work out you get something in return, and we could do a bet while working out so double rewards ya' know,"
"Okay then if I work out with you, I get a key to this cell so I can leave but I won't leave the second level,"
"That's kind of a big ask, how about I leave your cell door open?" Bruce suggested
"Okay, but you better keep to your word," she got up and threw on some shoes and her furry jacket, "where are we going?"
"A man always keeps to their word, okay come, since everyone's sleeping we can go anywhere, but the best area is the rooftops," Bruce said exiting the cell.
Faith followed close behind, she wondered why Bruce started to hang around her a lot more, she wanted to use him to get out of the prison but had this unknown feeling that stopped her from manipulating him, 'just go with it until something happens' she thought to herself, nearly tripping over her own foot, Bruce turned to face her with an eyebrow raised, "You good?" he asked, when she nodded Bruce ran up the stairs and entered the cell, faith followed behind, when she got in the cell Bruce got in position and boosted her ontop, once Bruce climbed up faith went inside the vents.
Faith finally got out and saw it was dawn, she yawned and then Bruce finally crawled out of the vents.
"Okay let's get it," Bruce said brushing his clothes. "There's a ladder leading down," he said directing faith to a blue ladder that led to a little stairwell, and a bunch of central ac fans, she climbed down the stairs and then watched Bruce climb down too.
"If there's a stairwell leading up to hear why did we take the vents," Faith asked.
"Do you want to go downstairs and past people who most likely hate you, and also I'm scared to bump into this girl called christie," Bruce replied
"Why are you scared of some girl?" faith raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not scared, it's just that she gives me bad juju."
They went to the centre of the platform because Bruce told her that the guards would be able to see them if they were located in the corners. The morning was cold and it ran a chill down faiths spine, when they started their warm-up, the temperature got warmer, they did 50 squats, 50 situps and 60 seconds of jog in place, for their warm-up. She was already tired and thought she was done until Bruce said "50 jumping squats, 50 jumping lunges and 10 laps around here and hopefully no one realizes were here."
The first workout faith did till 25 but the exhaustion got to her so she did 25 normal squats, the jumping lunges weren't as bad as the squats so she did all 50, when she glared at Bruce he was still going and he barely looked exhausted but he did look like he was pissed off, the run was probably the best thing the platform wasn't that large so the laps went by quick.
Faith sat down sweat pouring down her face, Bruce stood there staring at the mountains. "Okay, let's head back I'm surprised you did all workouts," Bruce said staring at her.
They walked back through the vents and went to their cells. Faith's first instinct was to jump on the bed and pass out but she remembered she was to help out the people. She emptied her water bottle and walked over to Bruce's cell, "so when are we going to help out?" she questioned.
"oh right that's a thing, first we take a shower since were covered in sweat," Bruce answered.
Faith went in first, once she was done it was Bruce's turn. Within half an hour they were in the kitchen talking to the chef.
"Okay so do you guys have work for us to do?" Bruce asked. The chef eyed Bruce and then to faith.
"Isn't tha-"
"Yea, so what" Bruce snapped interrupting the chef.
"SO WHAT! What do you mean 'so what', she reigned over us for years and killed many of us." The man shouted.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that, but let's say this is to make up for that, ay," Bruce said calmly.
The man stared deep into Bruce's soul before replying, "no, go do something else,"
Bruce nodded and walked away, he did have guard duty and decided that faith could be his extra pair of eyes. They walked past people who would whisper among themselves, he ignored them and kept walking. They climbed up a ladder which led up to the wall platform, it had what looked like huts scattered around and inside the was ammunition.
Bruce saw a lady with her back to them, but the straight black hair gave away the identity that it was Christie. "You see that chick with the black hair that's christie," Bruce whispered to faith. She glared at the lady and stared back at Bruce.
"She looks nice we should go say hi," faith asked
"Nope, we go the opposite way," Bruce said twisting faiths head towards the opposite side.
"We're eventually gonna bump into her," Faith replied
"NOPE, if we play it smart she will never see us" he suggested.
"Scardey cat" she snapped
"Hey, that's just mean" Bruce stated
They both walked towards the west side of the wall and sat there, it was quite an uneventful morning, civilian cars would roll by and sometimes Peggie trucks but they posed no harm, it was around evening and Bruce and faith had an uneventful shift they were about to switch out until they heard a loud clap, it sounded like a 50. cal sniper. Bruce went prone and faith followed, Bruce tried to seek where the sound came from but before he could pinpoint an area a bullet thundered on the wall, and Ute engines followed. "GET TO COVER!" Bruce screamed, gesturing faith towards one of the huts.
They both stayed there and they could hear the boots of enemies, but what was more threatening was the fact that there was air support definitely planes and Mabey a helicopter. Bruce knew he was useless with one good arm so he decided to radio Joe.
"Joe, come up to the walls I need assistance," Bruce said his palms sweating.
"Oh, okay on my way"
Bruce had a couple of grenades and dynamite sticks so he decided to use them to attack ground troops. He pulled out a grenade and used his thumb to pull out the pin as soon as he heard the ticking he threw it toward one of the peggie utes, bad throw, it went a bit to the right. He pulled out another this time he threw it underarm this time he threw it a bit too light but it was an effective miss since he killed about three peggies. Now it was his final attempt he aimed towards the same ute and threw the grenade this time with an umph, and it worked he got the grenade under the ute when the grenade blew up the ute flipped on its side providing a bit of cover for the peggies.
Bruce turned around to look at faith who was still there but peeking out the window, when she turned to look at Bruce he instantly swerved his head around, lighting up a stick of dynamite with his lighter, he tossed it the same way as the grenades, he was becoming more effective with throwables, "there's a few climbing through the sides" Faith said reluctantly.
Bruce slowly inched towards her position and she was right there were peggies climbing up and a handful was already up. Bruce was overrun by despair, he hid and cooked a stick of dynamite that might damage the wall but it was the perfect way to stop them from climbing up, Bruce got on one knee and tossed over the dynamite, which landed perfectly right by the ladder, when it blew he heard pure shrieks of agony and bodies flying. Bruce once again peered over and saw that the wall had a small hole and that the top of the ladder was damaged.
"Thanks for that," Bruce said giving faith a timid smile. "That's enough action for me" Bruce sat at the corner of the hut.
Joe and Mary both were sprinting towards the walls they made sure to keep low to avoid the helicopters, Bruce never specified which side it was but Joe knew they would eventually bump into each other, Once they got to the wall they went up the stairs, Joe saw his allies dead one had a chunk of their head missing, it was a gruesome sight but there weren't any Peggies this side other than the planes and heli's that would swoop in and out.
They made their way to the east wall and now they saw enemies climbing up from the sides, Joe pulled out his AKM and shot a handful at the back of their heads. He sprinted towards the south side Joe saw there was a lot of Peggies that were shooting down at the prison. Joe yanked out a grenade and cooked it before tossing it over, it cleared the path for them to get through. Joe just wanted to get over to Bruce since he was handicapped, just then a bullet struck Joe at his rib, he crumbled on the floor, taking deep breaths as he curled up, he saw Mary shooting at a heli when she ran out of ammo she cussed and dragged joe by the back of his collar. He pulled out his AKM and took some shots at the pilot's most shots hit the noes of the heli before he could empty his mag he was inside one of the huts.
Joe pulled his shirt up exposing his chest, the would wasn't that bad the bullet was definitely still in there, "Ay, mary you got a bandage?" He asked
"Yeah, I got a first aid kit"
"Chuck us"
Mary hesitated before tossing the kit over, Joe opened it and pulled out a bandage strip and wrapped it around his torso. Joe used the wall to pull himself up, he pulled out his walkie-talkie and contacted Bruce "Bro, what side are you on?"
"West"
"Can you come over to the south, I errr, just got shot."
"Hold up"
Joe clasped his AKM tightly against his chest, he saw that Mary was taking shots at the enemies, he shook his head and leaned out, there it was the helicopter Joe went through the sights and aimed towards the cockpit, a deep muffled breath and then BANG, the bullet swerved and hit the door. Joe cussed and took another shot and then another, every shot was missing.
Joe went back to cover and remembered that he had a bow, he dropped his AKM and pulled out his bow, he had two explosive arrows, he took one out and aimed it down the sights, he once again took a deep breath this time he aimer towards the propeller blades, he let go of the string and the arrow whistled, it had a slight drop but it got a direct hit on the rotor mast, it started smoking black and started to twirl downwards, BOOM. Joe smiled at his success he went over to Mary and layed his chin on her shoulder. "You see Bruce anywhere?"
"No, you think we should head to the west in case something happened?" Mary replied
Joe thought a while before replying, "Okay, but we have to run, let me grab my akm."
Joe ran over and picked up his akm he strapped his bow over his right shoulder. "In three, one, two, three, GO" The two started sprinting towards the west, Joes wound was starting to sting, he took a deep breath and exhaled. There it was a little hut near the west, Joe realised that there weren't many Peggies left most were either taking cover, dead or retreating.
They reached the hut and saw Bruce, he was cooking a stick of dynamite and throwing it towards a hoard of enemies hiding behind a ute, they also realised that faith was sitting in the corner of the room. Joe walked over to Bruce who still had his back towards them, Joe flicked his ear lightly when he turned around he looked annoyed.
"Why didn't you come?" Joe asked
"We were attacked and I had to hold them off using dynamite and the degul," Bruce answered
"Oh, seems like you took care of it. But what's she doing here?" Joe leant in
"I thought she could help out here, so I brought her with me" he blurted
"Okay, well anywho seems like we all held off the Peggies, I saw a few taking cover and the rest are either dead or retreating."
"Cool, cool. Let's head down now," Bruce suggested
All four climbed down the ladder and saw pools of blood, fallen enemies and allies. They made their way towards the infirmary hoping to find the Sheriff, they got inside the prison and there were injured sitting on the floor, they had eyes of despair. Joe felt a chill run down his spine as he walked past the injured, he didn't know what was worse, walking down a path full of injured people alongside a cult herald or the fact that his wound was starting to sting like hell.
After what felt like an hour they made it to the infirmary, they saw Lindsey aiding a handful of people, when he faced Joe and scurried over his face seemed off, he was definitely stressing out about something.
"Wussup doc'," Joe began. "Are you okay you look a bit stressed?"
"I'm fine it's just that I'm overwhelmed with all the injured and I'm unsure if we have enough supplies to go around." He replied
"I thought you said the amount Mary and I found was good."
"It is but there's a mass number of injured and what you brought back definitely won't be enough" Lindsey snorted
"Huh? I guess We'd have to go back out to grab some more supplies ay Bruce?"
"Yeah, how about this time around I go with faith?" Bruce suggested
Lindsey gave Bruce a glare before saying, "why is she here and not in her cell?"
"He thought she could help out the community today" Joe answered
"What he said"
"Well okay but keep an eye on her" Lindsey Bellowed
Faith walked up to the three, "why don't I help you out?" Her voice came out low-pitched
"I don't trust you, nor do these people" Lindsey replied.
Faith looked offended for a second and then accepted it, "Fine, bu-"
"How about I stay with her so she wouldn't do anything harmful?" Bruce intervened.
Lindsey thought hard for a minute and replied, "fine, but you would have to do me a favour after."
"Sure,"
"Okay follow me," they walked towards a group of people who hadn't been treated yet.
Joe saw the majority had bullet wounds or bruising and breaks, the rooms aura scared Joe it was so dull and depressing it wasn't the same vibe he got from yesterday, where everyone was helping each other out, chatting and laughing. He shook himself and looked at Bruce and faith who were helping an elderly man who had a bullet wound on his calf. The man at first looked scared and pissed when he saw faith but he slowly calmed down when she cleaned his wound and applied a bandage over, Bruce was watching over her and handing her equipment.
Joe didn't know but he smiled he saw Mary walking up to him, "Heya, them two actually work well" Joe snickered as he pointed towards Bruce and faith.
"They might work well, but work adequately" Mary started.
"Ooh, a competitive one I see"
"So what if I am," Mary said crossing her arms
"Then I challenge you to a pushup off," Joe said pointing towards her dramatically.
"NO, you should rest up first because of your gun wound"
"So what, I feel good right now I've already patched it up,"
"Nope, I don't care your gonna hurt yourself, get in the line and wait for Lindsey" Mary snapped.
"Sheesh, your rude" Joe grunted, making his way towards the line of injured.
It took the whole day patching up people faith was exhausted, her hands and clothes were covered in blood but she felt somewhat good that she helped people out the only problem was that she had to half-ass it since supplies were low and the injured were stacking up. She was glad Bruce was helping her out, she was scared that someone she helped would recognize her and inflict harm, but there thankfully was none she only got looks and side-eyes.
She walked inside Dr Lindsey's lab, Bruce followed close behind. Lindsey sat by his desk jotting down some notes he looked up at faith and Bruce and smiled, "Thank you guys so much for the help, I'm sorry for doubting you earlier." He stood up and picked up the note, "I don't want to do this, but can you go to the location on this map I was told there are supplies there, I sent out a group before but they haven't come back yet take who you need and bring back the supplies, please."
Bruce walked past faith and took the note, "Don't worry you said we owed you a favour," Bruce turned to faith his face was eager but also somewhat scared. "Are you gonna come or should I take someone else?" He asked
"You're allowing me to leave the prison to help you?"
"Precisely"
"Sure, but if we do go your gonna need help since you're crippled and I have no experience with guns and I don't think you trust me with one either,"
"Yeah, yeah." He said shaking his head side to side, "Well alright let's go back to our cells and rest up today let's say was scary."
Faith nodded and they both walked back towards the cells, they walked in silence, in fact, the whole place was rather placid the raid seemed to lower motivation and happiness for everyone, faith usually saw a bunch of smiles and chitter-chatter but now the pathway remains muted and grim.
When they got to their cells Bruce told faith to get her shower supplies, She went inside her cell and pulled out a pair of blue jeans, a black long-sleeve turtle neck and some other stuff. She saw Bruce who was leaning against the cell bars, "you ready?" he asked, she nodded and they started to make their way towards the showers.
She got inside and placed her stuff on the bench that sat in the far corner of the room, there were about four showerheads in the 3 isles, there were also 5 sinks that were mounted to the wall next to the door, she walked towards the furthest one. She undressed and threw the clothes near the bench. She turned the shower on heat but was greeted with freezing water she stumbled back for a second and then the temperature slowly heated up.
She stood there thinking about why she helped out these people, was she really changing? was she becoming a part of the resistance? Would her adoptive brothers even accept her anymore? she was snapped out of her thoughts when Bruce knocked on the door saying she had about 5 minutes left. She quickly applied soap to her dirty skin and turned off the shower, her hasty movement nearly caused her to trip. She put on her clothes and grabbed her belongings before heading out.
She opened the door and saw Bruce once again leaning against the wall but this time he was poking his cast, when he realized she got out he asked her to do whatever she wanted except going downstairs. She nodded and walked back to her cell, Bruce also went to his cell to grab his things for a shower, faith tossed her dirty clothes under her bed and then face planted against the mattress, she finally got her long-awaited rest she looked out the window and realized it was dark outside, it gave her more of a reason to pass-out now, so she crawled under her sheets and closed her eyes and fell instantly asleep.
Joe was walking back to his cell, it was located near the back of the prison on the first floor, Joe and Mary both shared the same cell but they wanted to be located with Bruce and faith upstairs but the cells there had either a huge hole in the walls or the floor, and somehow the only cells there were decently habitable was Bruce's and faiths.
Joe opened the cell door and saw Mary lying on the bed her gaze focused on a crack by the ceiling. "Heya' how you going?" Joe asked taking a seat at the ledge of the bed.
"Fine, I guess do you think we'd be able to go back to Falls end anytime soon?" Her gaze m he moved from the ceiling to Joe's chest
"Maybe, maybe not. People here are injured and some died so we should definitely help out here before we do anything." Joe answered, "But, we should head back once we get enough supplies for these guys to sustain a living,"
"Hmm, what if they raid again? but this time they'd bring RPG's and other types of weapons and most likely more people."
"We'd survive c'mon, think positively if they came back we'd be prepared, we might have fewer people but we have backup." He inched closer to her and grabbed her right hand, it was cold compared to his warm hands.
She glared at his hand for a second and then at his eyes, "We'll we could be fine but what about you and Bruce, your both injured Bruce can't handle a gun an-"
"Didn't you see Bruce with the explosives though he shredded, and I'm fine I just need to rest." Joe interrupted squeezing her hand
"Bruce was good because he had cover, what if he was in plain sight? he would be in a body bag right now."
"NO, stop thinking negatively of situations, just be positive, everyone around us is depressed as fuck I don't want you to join them."
"I guess I'm just homesick, it will probably go away tomorrow"
"Alright you should get some rest then, I'm gonna go check up on Bruce to see what he's doing tomorrow."
"Oh, okay"
Joe kissed her on the forehead and then walked off, he wanted to talk to her a bit more but he had to show Bruce something, Joe ran up the stairs and entered the second-floor cells, the area had very little light but enough for Joe to know where to go, he walked past a few cells and when he walked past faiths he saw her under her covers most likely asleep, he walked towards Bruce's cell and saw that he was sitting on his bed noting down something into a book.
Joe lightly tapped the cell bars which caught Bruce's attention, he placed his pen in the middle of the page and closed the book, "what's up?"
"Nothing much, but you know how we wanted to chill out for a while together? well how about now cause I got some spicy info."
"Really, now? well, I guess... Sure, where are we heading off to?"
"Just by the walls, but not on the platform, you know the little doorway that leads to the interior of the jail?"
"You talking about the door that leads to a tiny ass room which leads to another door which is to the prison yard? if so then yea."
"Precisely what I'm, talking about alright let's go."
They both walked outside and made their way towards the 'mini room,' They found the metal door and opened it the room wasn't that small then they thought it was when you walk through there is a desk and a chair in the left and a ladder that leads up to the wall, and to the right was a bunch of cans and boxed that were stacked on top of each other, if you walked straight there was another room it was more like a mini hallway since it had a small chair sitting in the far left corner next to the door and a bunch of boxes stacked along the wall on the right the left wall had a table and a couple of boxes.
Bruce hopped up onto the boxes, Joe followed him, "Okay Bruce I know your busy tomorrow so I'll try and be quick so we can mess around after."
"Okay, so what is it?" Bruce tilted his head intrigued.
"Okay so you know how we talked about Ari's tape well, guess what I found it," Joe said and fishing it out of his jacket's pocket.
"Yo, how did you get that?" Bruce nearly fell off the boxes, when he saw the tape.
"Well you know how Mary and I went to scout out for equipment and stuff a few days ago, well when we were coming back to the jail we wanted to check out Ari's cabin, and let's say it's basically burnt to a crisp, but then we found a mini bunker that had a crap-ton of loot, it ranged from ammo, meds, food, and other equipment. We were about to loot the place but what if Ari came back and saw his things missing, so we decided to snoop instead. I found a VCR player and I opened the slot and saw there was a tape in it and it looks awfully like the one Ari was holding when he came back that day. So I snuck it inside my pocket and I didn't tell Mary just because... Well anywho, after I got the tape I asked Mary if we could leave and Mabey comeback to steal all the goods Ari had. I haven't watched it yet and I've been itching to, but I wanted to experience what's in it with you."
"Fuck, that's a lot of information to take in, I guess I know where I'll be taking faith tomorrow, but also do we even have a VCR player here?"
"I saw a couple of tellies that could fit in VCR's"
"Is that the spice you were talking about"
"Yep," Joe snuck the tape back into his pocket.
"Okay, you said we should mess around huh? what are we doing?"
"Heh, heh, Mary and I ship you and faith"
"Err, what!" Bruce said nearly choking on his saliva
"You guys worked well together earlier when you were helping her patch people up,"
"Yea, Nah that can't happen,"
"Why? because she reminds you of her and what she did to you in high school?" Joe teased
"Bitch, why you bringing 'her' into this" Bruce snapped
"Sorry, but why don't you like her?"
"Heh, it's fine, but I have no clue how to treat her like a prisoner, and since I'm trying to figure that out I ain't interested into any chic,"
"Is that why you took her to guard the walls with you?"
"Yea, kinda that, and also kinda because I felt bad that she had to sit in the cell and do nothing."
"My man ain't that the point of jail."
"Mabey, but how are you and Mary doing?" Bruce leaned against the wall and brought his knees to his chest,
"She's a bit homesick, I want to take her back to Fall's End."
"Let's go back to Fall's End, well after we help out these people, and then we confront the father once we feel semi better," Bruce suggested
"Yeah we should, I feel bad for taking her away from her bar."
"You wanna play truth or dare?" Bruce asked
"YES."
"Okay, who's asking and who's answering?"
"You ask I answer" Joe answered
"Okay, truth or dare?"
"Err, dare"
"Huh, okay I dare you to climb up the ladder and do some cringey ass dance up there,"
"Damn easy" Joe hopped off the boxes and climbed up the ladder, Bruce followed close behind. When Joe got up he started doing the floss, when Bruce saw he instantly looked away in disgust, "okay that's enough,"
Joe snickered and asked, "truth or dare?"
"Dare" Bruce answered
"Okay, I dare you to hit on faith tomorrow morning" Joe had a smug grin on his face
"Of course you ask that fine but how are you gonna get proof?"
"I'll be in the cell next to faiths"
"Urgh, fine, Truth or dare?"
"Truth add in spice tho"
"Okay, why do you like Mary May?"
"Oh, that's easy bro, I-"
"If it's easy list at least 5"
"Bet, I like her eyes, dat smile of hers, personality, UM, she likes my pickup lines and last of all I like her competitiveness if that's a word. Now, truth or dare,"
"Okay, well I'm scared of your dares now, so give me a truth,"
"What do you like about Faith Seed?"
"Aw, come on that's just unoriginal,"
"C'mon tell me that's the point of the game," Joe seemed to be so amused at himself that he was about to fall on his back and die of laughter,
"I like her smile, done."
"Nah bro you meant to list like five"
"Sometimes I really hate you," Bruce sighed "She mad thicc tho, umm her intellect, she's calm under pressure, she gives me calming vibes. Okay, I'm done, your turn, truth or dare?"
"Truth max spice" Joe answered with a toothy grin
"What's the dirtiest thought you had of Mary? describe in detail." Bruce started to smirk
"Oh, you had to add in the describing bit?" Joe moaned
"Well you woulda answered in the driest way"
"The dirtiest thought I've had of her is having the bang-bang okay."
"Wheres the detail?"
"Do you really want to know?" Joe asked
"Nah not too much but describe where," Bruce answered
"At the back of a plane because I like Mary and planes so makes mad sense ay?" Joe said in a soft voice
Bruce was to burst out laughing at his response, "Okay let's do one more round and then we hit the hay?"
"Sure, Truth or dare"
"I feel bad so give me a mad truth"
"I dare you to tell me why you did what you did with 'her' back in high school?"
"I told you already" Bruce stammered.
"No, you've always told me that it's deep shit" Joe responded,
"well, it is." Bruce took in a breath and said "I was a dumbass back then, and I was easily carried away and well 'she' influenced half the shit I would do and I ended up doing the one thing I regret for the rest of my life and it sticks with me like a black cloud over me."
"You sound depressed, and you hid all that emotion behind a smile?"
"Basically yeah, I'm still a toxic person though which is also why I'm scared to be in a relationship I don't want stuff to repeat."
"Don't overthink things your missing out on things, develop the 'what's the worst that can happen' mindset, it's killed most of my overthinking when I see a pretty girl"
"I don't really know if I'm overthinking or if I'm just fucked up by past experiences," Bruce stated
"You know I saw this quote that said 'your the only one who remembers the stupid cringey shit and others most likely forgot' and I honestly think it's true I guess it depends on the person and how bit the event is but yeah,"
"Ay, Joe let's head back now I think I need to rest up my mind for tomorrow if that's chill with you, but thanks for somehow bringing my hopes back up," Bruce smiled
"That's my job as a pilot, lift up peoples mood,"
Bruce smiled, "your darn good at it"
"Yeah I know right," Joe said climbing down the ladder
"You know Joe we should do this more often and I promise to you that I'll tell you what exactly happened that day not just a half baked truth," Bruce announced following Joe,
"Tell me when your comfortable, but for now I guess we should focus on helping out everyone here and then confront the father and maybe find Jacob while we're at it..." Joe froze, "Oh crap," he turned to face Bruce, "I forgot to tell you I think I saw him today, when the Peggies were retreating I saw a man with a 50. cal sniper and it had a black and red skin on it, the man wore different clothes to what Jacob had but his face somewhat resembled him,"
"So he did escape, so faith wasn't lying to me when she said he snuck out the window but she stayed because I don't know why,"
"We should run into him again in the mere future I assume, so Mary was right they will come back for a second wave I told her that we'd be fine if we were positive but now, now I'm confused, I think we should call in back up just in case," Joe suggested turning back around.
"First thing tomorrow you should call in Hurk, Nick and stuff and maybe a couple of other resistance members, and I just realised where the Sheriff and wheres did Tracey and all of them go?" Bruce spoke softly,
"I actually don't know either, let's ask Lindsey tomorrow as well he might know the answers," Joe opened the door and waited for Bruce to enter, they both walked in silence, when Bruce had to go up the stairs Joe bro hugged him, "Ay, bruv I guess well figure this all out tomorrow," Joe said waving at him, Bruce nodded and dashed up the stairs.
Joe walked back to his cell exhausted he saw that Mary was already asleep, He and Mary were lucky enough to get a double bed otherwise Joe would have had to sleep on the ground. He walked over and sank under the sheets, he placed his hand over his eyes and started to think, what he needed to do next he knew it won't be long before the Peggies come back and stronger than before. He was also scared of Jacob if that 50. cal hit someone they would be obliterated, Joe turned to Mary and her back was facing him, Joe inched in, to a point where there was a 1-inch gap between them he wrapped one of his arms under her neck and the other around her waist, he lightly pulled her closer and held her tight in fear of losing her. Joe slowly started to slack off before falling asleep.
Dudes note: Okay y'all I got like 4 assignments now that are due in like two weeks and I think I should focus on finishing them before adding any more chapters, I mean I might write a bit when I wake up early but yeah, anyway I'll drop a new chapter when either my term break starts or when I've written a crap tone and basically finished a chapter.
