Chapter Twelve

Once the group was back into the apartment complex they were shown to each of their apartments. Due to everything that had happened in the city there was plenty of space. So once they had set down their packs they came together in one of the apartments and talked.

“I can't believe all this has happened,” Freddie said.

“I can,” Saul replied, “people are animals, and anyone who didn't expect something like this to happen is an idiot.”

“I don't think it's a bad idea to want to think the best of people,” Hank said. “It's clear there is a lot of pain in this city. Perhaps we have returned at this time for a reason, to show people there is a better way.”

“Maggie, what can you tell us about Bob? Can he be trusted?” Mack asked.

“He's a hardass but, yeah, he just wants to get things done. He was always a stickler for the rules, so I believe him when he said he's trying to sort out things there,” she replied.

“But fighting kids?!” Grace asked, still having a difficult time believing the Lost Children could be an actual thing.

“Bob sees the world as black and white. If there are people trying to hurt them then they're an enemy, no matter who they are,” she said. Yet, there was a tension to her words that suggested there were some unresolved issues between Maggie and her former superior officer.

“Well, right now we should look around and see what this place has to offer. Gather as much information as you can and we'll go from there. I want to know exactly what the other factions are like. If we're in danger by being here, then we should know what that danger consists of,” Mack said.

“And if that danger is too much?” Saul asked.

“I don't know, but it doesn't seem as though there's much use in us running away. Where are we going to go?” Mack said.

Where indeed? The only mode of transportation they had at the moment was their own legs. Until they got a better method of getting around it was going to take them a long time to get anywhere, and use up a lot of water in the process. The warm weather wouldn't last forever either, and while in the current climate it was okay to sleep under the stars with little in the way of shelter, it wasn't always going to be like that. Soon enough, the cold winter would sweep in and make living in the world an even more dangerous proposition. If they were caught outside without any shelter, it wouldn't be long before they slipped away into oblivion. With that decided, they went off in different directions to explore their new surroundings and come to terms with the layout of the small base.
