Chapter Eleven

We all gather in the only room big enough to hold meetings in, the dining hall. It is a sad fact as I look out over the crowd that there are less of us now. All told, we lost a dozen people last night. I stand facing the crowd with the council seated in a row of chairs behind me, they are only here to add the weight of their approval to my words. The speech is entirely up to me.

Not everyone is here of course, we have guards at the main door and snipers still hold their positions on the roof. All of them now play low level music into headphones that they can immediately crank up if a Singer is spotted. Batteries will be a priority on the next supply run.

I look out over the crowd and I know most of them by name, a few are newcomers we rescued from one bad situation or another out there in the outside world. Old hands or newbies everyone here is a Narwhal now.

Couldn’t even tell you how often I stood behind Big Al as he addressed this same crowd. He always seemed to know what they needed him to say, even if the news was bad. The guy was a natural leader and he did his best to groom me for this role. Any failures are my weight to carry,, not his.

“Hello brothers and sisters. I would like to start with a moment of silence for those that we lost last night.” I tell them as a bow my own head.

Every single one of them bows their own head, and more than a few of them are crying as they do so.

We are all Narwhals, in this new twisted fucked up world we are all family and we protect and mourn our own.

“It has been a difficult time for all of us, we have lost people to these strange new threats that are cropping up. But, we will meet these challenges like we have met all the others, together. Together we will work to survive everything the world throws at us, because we are the fucking Narwhals.” I tell them letting an edge come into my voice.

“Fuck yeah!” Katrin yells out from the back of the room, I make eye contact with her and she gives me a slow nod. Her face is bruised from me punching her lights out, but she knows that she would be dead had I not.

She has been a little shy and weird around me since last night, but I have been ignoring it, keeping our conversations all business. We will eventually have to talk about what happened, but there is far too much on our plates right now to deal with whatever is going through her head.

“For now we all need to keep on keeping on. Everyone needs to do their job and play their part in keeping this place safe. Please know that we have some plans that we are working
