Chapter Twenty-One

One week later…

Everyone stood in the living room, tension gripping the air. It had been two weeks since Buddy and the rest of his group had arrived, and a week since his battle with Amber. They had all decided to follow through with their plan, and had spent the better part of the week gathering whatever weapons, food, and any other necessities they may need that they could spare and had taken them to the truck. They had readied the red Dodge with these weapons and a few provisions and had driven it out of the gate, parking it along the back road that led to their previous home. The decision to leave some weapons and provisions at the house and secure the house itself was unanimous, which led them to their current situation. The majority of them stood in the living room, watching as Buddy and Amber readied their packs of provisions.

“Be logical about this.” Buddy heard Brian say to them, but he let it roll off of his back. He was making himself useful, and in fact, he needed a little thrill to pacify his thirst for adrenaline and a different scene. Buddy decided that he thrived off of the rush, although he never considered himself to be reckless. It gave him a realistic edge instead of living in some dream world where nothing could go wrong. He had been there and it had ruefully bit him in the ass, and he refused to go there again, even though he still gathered small glimpses of it every now and again. Besides, he thought, he was certain that they were still upset about what had happened.

“We are being logical Brian.” Amber tossed back the reply over her shoulder at her brother. Buddy watched this from the corner of his eye as he shoved only a few liter jugs of water into his mostly empty bag. The bruise that darkened her jaw was slowly fading away, as was the hard glint that had been in her eyes since it happened. When the suggestion to ready the old house place was brought up, he had leapt at the chance to get out, as he was getting stir crazy. In truth, he had even expected Brian, Miles, or George to go with him, which they readily volunteered until they were contradicted by the tepid woman to his right. Her long blonde hair swung in its ponytail as she turned to face the men and women before them. The couch brushed against the backs of her knees as she stood, shrugging the bag onto her shoulders. “It makes better sense than any of you going.”

“How?” he asked of her, and Buddy zipped his bag after throwing in a few cans of perishables before turning to face them as well. He pulled one strap of the bag over his shoulder and looked sideways down at Amber, who stood only about a few inches shorter than he. He knew they were going to argue against her going; that they were going to give them a difficult time by their refusal.
