Chapter Five

It was late afternoon and the group where about to pull over when they noticed two trucks blocking the road ahead, Tom slowed down the truck

“What the hell!” He said

Alice looked up and noticed the trucks blocking the road, “Who would do that?”

Suddenly a group of twenty men appeared from the bushes with rifles aiming at the truck.

“Fuck!”

A tall man stepped out from behind the men and headed towards the truck he tapped on the window

Tom unwound the window and the man spoke,

“Where are you heading?”

“North.” replied Tom

“What you got in the back?”

“What’s it to you?” replied Tom

The man tilted his head to the side, “Well you are passing through our community.”

“Your community?” asked Tom

“Yes, do you have a problem with that?”

“No, let us through and we’ll ne on our way.”

“Afraid I can’t do that.”

Tom sighed, “Why the hell not?”

“Give us something in return.”

“What do you want?”

“What do you have?” asked the man

“We have food and water.” replied Tom

“What about weapons?”

“It looks to me that you have plenty why would you need more?”

The man turned to his men, “Lower you weapons.”

The men lowered their weapons the man then turned back to the truck,

“Come to our community maybe we can do a trade?”

Tom looked over to Ian and he nodded,

“Ok lead the way.”

“Take a left and drive for a mile you’ll see the gate, ask for Mike he will let you in.”

“And who are you?” asked Tom

“Don.”

Tom sighed, “Ok.” He shut the window and took the left turning, after a mile they came to a walled of village with a gate covering the road a man appeared from the gates and made his way towards the truck, Tom leaned out of the cab, “Don sent me he said to ask for Mike.”

The man nodded and walked back to the gates after a moment they opened up and Tom pulled in. the group climbed out of the cab and where soon surrounded by the people in the community. A man appeared from a building and strutted over to them,

“You come to trade?” he asked

“You must be Mike.” Asked Tom

The man smiled, “Correct, so the trade?”

“We have food and water.” replied Tom

“We have lots of that what about weapons?”

Tom sighed, “You have plenty of those too.”

“I take it Don sent you?”

“Yes.”

Those gun aren’t loaded we need ammo, do you have any?”

“Not really.” Replied Tom

Josh was staring at Mike, “Do you have a problem?”

“No.” replied Josh

“If anyone has problems with anyone around here we settle that on the field.”

“What?” asked Tom?

“If there is a dispute we let them fight it out for entertainment.”

“What kind of fights?”

“Any, from weapon fights, fist fights you name it.”

“What happens to the loser?” asked Ian

“If there still alive then they have to leave.”

“That’s a bit harsh isn’t it?”

“Not really, I look after the people here and they look after me.”

“Well what would you trade us?” asked Mark

Mike looked at Mark, “Food and water for ammo.”

“We said we don’t have any ammo.” Replied Tom

“Well you stay here.”

“You can’t make us.
