Sam was still in a bad mood when he walked through the town after the end of his shift. This might sound surprising, since it was only a few days ago that he had finally reached safety. However earlier in the morning, he had had a huge fight with his mother before his work started. He had accused her of many things, even though he didn’t mean most of it. He told her she had already forgotten his father and was throwing herself at Duke Powell. He claimed she was not even trying to find his father, her husband.

His mother did not respond, but he could see that his words hurt her deeply. His fists would have probably injured her less than his words had done. He had screamed loudly and simply unloaded everything that had been recently building up inside of him. She had patiently suffered his tirade and even admitted she could understand him, but she had also asked him to try to understand her, too. She said that at the moment Duke Powell was important for the both of them, and only he could ensure their safety. She had called him “a protector for Sam.”

A protector. I hate that goddamned asshole. He shook himself. Sam knew he was probably being unfair to his mom, but it had also felt good to let off some steam. Maybe he would later apologize to his mom. He then thought about the rest of his morning.

While in the cell tract, he had been asked about his talents and qualifications, and he had simply answered “lumber.” Since early childhood he had accompanied his father into the forest, and he knew everything there was to know about lumber. Which wood you could turn into things, and which could be used for firewood. How to cut trees, saw and store them. He owed all this knowledge to Scott. His father had let him help with a lot of physical work, and this now showed in his physique. Even with his fifteen years, Sam Gerber could have frightened quite a few grown-up men. The way he looked showed just whose son he was, and he was already about 5 foot 10 inches tall and weighed almost 190 pounds. Valeria Martinez had called him a handsome young man, which flattered him a lot. So he had received an ax and a saw and was sent to the lumberjack work crew. He knew these guys were often rough, but he could handle it. The men and women on this detail recognized Sam as a hard worker, so much so that they readily shared their breakfast and friendly conversation with him during the first break. As a newcomer to Sanctuary, Sam was relieved about being accepted as a member of the lumberjack work crew. During their shift, some guards always came along to protect the lumberjacks but so far, not one single zombie had been seen by the group. The area had been secured for several weeks, and the guards seemed to be on the ball with regard to protecting them.
