Benny pointed to the back of the room. “Abby take them. I gotta tell mom.”

“OK,” Abby said sounding as if she was out of breath.

“What’s going on?” Ryder asked.

Abby opened a glass door. “Go in there. It’s where we hide.”

“Hide from what?” Logan asked.

“Natives. Well, or The Evolved, but here, it’s almost always natives,” Abby said flapping her hand.

I stepped inside the room where several of the others were already sitting down eating. Their smiles vanished when they looked up at us. They must have realized something was happening.

Abby turned to them. “Natives.”

“Do they ever come in here?” I asked as the door opened, and Benny and a few others came inside. “Inside the building I mean.”

“They have,” Abby said. “But not back here.”

“What about all the stuff downstairs?” I asked.

Abby shook her head. “They never found it. When they come around, it’s only because they’re passing through.”

Everyone was inside the little room, with their backs against the far wall. The only ones that weren’t in the room were Tina and Ross.

“What about Tina and Ross?” Ryder asked noticing their absence at the same time I had.

“They’ll keep watch. They know where to hide,” Benny said ducking as he tried to look out of the dirty glass. “But if the natives come close enough, they’ll come in here.”

“We should probably stop talking,” someone whispered, and the room instantly fell silent.

The only sounds I could hear were the occasional creaks and cracks the building made, and of course my own heartbeat. If the natives came inside, they could easily find the storage room we were hiding inside. It didn’t feel any safer than the basement had… we were sitting ducks.

My heart was pounding so rapidly, I could feel the pulse in my neck. Sweat dripped down the sides of my face. I hated not knowing what was going on. Not only that, we were putting faith in complete strangers.

I pulled out my gun. If they got through Ross and Tina, I’d do whatever I had to.

Ryder tightened his grip on his club as if he’d had the same idea. As far as I was concerned, Tina’s group needed to be better armed. Any weapon at all was better than nothing.

When the door popped open, I gasped and pointed my gun at the door. My aim was spot on, only it was aimed at Ross’ forehead.

“Put that down,” Ross grumbled. “You’re going to hurt yourself or someone else by mistake.”

“I doubt that,” I said as I lowered the gun.

“They’re gone,” Ross said shaking his head. “Coast is clear.”

I tucked my gun back into my waistband and followed the others out of the room.

“Tina’s going dish out some food for everyone,” Ross said, placing his hand on Abby’s shoulder. He jerked his thumb toward the basement. “Why don’t you go on and help.”

“No problem,” Abby said flashing me a tight-lipped smile.

“You guys can just make yourselves at home,” Ross said jerking his elbow into Benny and nodding toward the door. “Although, I guess you already have, haven’t you?”

He smiled at us, but I didn’t smile back.
