Alec

“You’re not being fair to him.”

Alec grabbed another piece of wood and threw it in the back of Jack’s pick up. He didn’t trust Trent. He didn’t trust the man not because he didn’t like him, but because he wasn’t trust worthy. Ben was desperate for a friend and Trent fed off of that. Given enough time the man would have caused more damage than he did,

“You can be quiet all you want but you know I’m right.”

Alec took a break and turned to Ben. The boy had the same stubborn look on his face that he had seen millions of times in the past, only then it was being used on their mother. “You’re not right, you want to be right, and you might be partially right.” He saw Ben’s face light up for a brief second. “But you know dad and I are partially right too.” Ben’s face returned to its stubborn form. “It would have only taken Trent a few days of watching us and talking with you to see that we’re not bad people. Instead he asked you questions to learn where our stuff was and kept hidden away.”

Ben grabbed a large piece of wood and attempted to throw it in the back of the truck but it was a little too heavy. The piece of wood made it half way and fell back to the cold hard ground and Ben followed it there a second later. He picked himself up from the ground and gave Alec a look of pure hate. “You don’t know what you’re talking about. He’s just cautious. You have to be to survive in the wild. He wouldn’t have hurt me and he wouldn’t have hurt us.”

“That isn’t entirely true.” Trent walked out from behind the truck. “I’m sorry Ben but your brother is right.”

Ben stumbled back a few feet. “Wha…..what do you mean?”

“I knew within the first week that you all were just a family trying to survive. I knew you all weren’t likely to hurt me or try to steal my supplies.” Trent then turned to Alec. “But that doesn’t mean I was going to try and rob you all. I….I’m not the most social person in the world, never have been. Before the world went to shi-,” Trent glanced over at Ben, “Before the world went dark I didn’t have a lot of friends. I’m not good with meeting new people and in large groups I tend to get a little sick to my stomach. It was easier to hang back and let you all be. I knew that if you needed my help I would step in and you all were likely to do the same if I needed help.”

“You need to get out of here.” Alec’s voice came out as a growl. The man wasn’t more than a twig but deep down Alec knew he wouldn’t stand much of a chance against him, but that didn’t stop him from pretending that wasn’t the case. “You hurt my brother.
