Meet Up

Joe had talked himself into giving Tracy more time and ended up spending the rest of the afternoon, evening and late-night waiting for her. He checked on his wounds, the glue having dried, enabling him to give them another flush with peroxide. He’d have to save what was left in the bottle, however, as it was now almost out.

Starving, he plopped back down on the couch, the ache of fatigue creeping up along the back of his head.

“Come on,” he groaned. He closed his eyes and whispered, “I hope you’re okay.”

Though tired, he knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep. Unless he’d spent a day exerting himself, usually he’d just lie in bed and, when finally exhausted, drift off. He wondered if he should wait until morning and if Tracy didn’t come back by then, to head out to the Hub to try and find her.

Or maybe you should go now, he thought.

The soup had been filling, the chunks of veggies something Tracy had missed for the longest time. Thank goodness for canned goods.

It was the middle of the night—or thereabouts, she figured—and she grabbed a few Zs after eating to regain her strength after not much of a diet the past while. She hoped Joe was faring all right. If his estimated timeline was to be trusted, he should be back at the house starting tomorrow, the day after if he got delayed. Tracy decided the best course of action would be to go with someone back to the house, then her, Joe and the other person could attempt to raid some of the neighboring homes for supplies before returning to the safe house.

The intel at the safe house wasn’t as sophisticated as she had hoped, unlike the Hub. She’d never been here before so didn’t know its exact workings. She hoped for a similar structure of folks reporting in, giving info on the goings on outside, their ideas, tactical advice, new finds and all the rest.

Tracy took the time to speak to everyone, give them Joe’s description, and ask if they’d seen him. None did, though one cited seeing the body of a man with no hair a couple days back, but Joe had been with her at that time so it was someone else.

As if you should have expected this to go smoothly, she told herself.

Feeling like she was stuck and not liking the idea of having to stay put, she resolved to re-arm then head back out onto the streets and make her way to the house she and Joe “borrowed.”

After loading up with a couple .9mm pistols and a belt full of clips, she moved up and down the hallway, considering who she would invite to come along with her. However, she already knew who she was going to pick. The man’s name was Felix and he had been one of the people who she asked about Joe. Felix stood at around six and a half feet tall
