Many began complaining, wanting to move up to the second floor. They wanted to be safer, like Dad and the rest. There was a scuffle with a group. Beth and Randall were sharing a room. Dad was torn between his frustration with knowing they slept together and this new group wanting to pick their own spot, pushing in on others.

He wasn't dealing with it since he was rescuing more. The new arrivals had grown to sixty, but only a dozen could potentially be able fighting men. One of the younger girls looked able but in truth, none of the women were athletic. Many were older, barely able to walk. The younger ones brought them along. It seemed the prevelant survivors were young and weak, or old and disabled. Anyone healthy enough had tried to do something and died.

Dad was beginning to think rescuing others was not worth it. Why? When they were just becoming burdens, leeches, parasites that would destroy his family, not caring at all for his family's survival, but only for their own, eating away at the food and water, while not contributing.

He knew his wife was right but the obvious was bearing down on him. He grew angry and stopped rescuing others. He skulked around the school grounds watching as Katrina, Beth, Amanda and his own wife had to care for them. Many were bitter, even unappreciative, especially the dozens of old and the cowardly teens.

He saw Steve, Lena, and Lisa trying to train the new men. He gritted his teeth as he saw them sit around. They were reluctant, hiding and cowardly. Some were not in their right mind. He worried, what if they got a hold of a gun? They'd easily kill his family, anyone, then kill themselves. Why not?

One night, he called the important people, the originals, into his room. There had to be a change. He needed ideas for what to do. He had Randall, Nick, Ray, Steve, Duanne, Howie, Lena, Lisa, Amanda, Marcus, his wife, Jake, and even Charlotte, in a somewhat secret meeting. He had Tom, Cory, Beth, Katrina, Trish, Amador, his wife Maria and Stu keep watch, whether on the perimeter, or on the new people.

Eva came up to be in the meeting, but Dad said no. She was upset but he didn't care. He wondered as she left if she went to tell others, the new people. The look in her eyes made him feel she was up to something, seeking alliances, causing discord. He closed the door on her as he watched her go down stairs.

He turned to the others. “Do not let them have any guns. None of the new ones.”

“You got all the guns up here?” Duanne asked.

“All the ones I know of,” Dad said. “And my wife and I have the only keys to this door. Keep a close eye on your guns and ammo at all times. It's not you guys I don't trust. I trust you guys. This is that meeting. I'm worried that many of the new people have lost their minds, literally.
