Jake

For the first time in days, Jake let someone else take over some responsibility. While Perry and Abigail discussed what to do next, he followed Aby and the young boy inside, where they found him something to eat and drink. Perry had decided that the kid was clearly not a threat so they’d take him under their wing for now. He also murmured under his breath that he’d be one extra person to help in case of a fight.

“What’s your name?” Aby asked the boy gently as she sat him down at the kitchen table. His cheeks were only just returning to a normal color after all his running around.

“Aaron,” he said timidly. He looked younger than his age with brown curls clinging to his impish face with sweat. He cleared his throat as Aby handed him a warm glass of water. “Thank you...I’m sorry for freaking out back there...I’ve...I’ve seen a lot.”

“We understand,” Aby said quietly. Jake looked at his fiance with a frown. She’d seemed okay before, but since the end of the fight, she was like a different person. He’d never seen her in such a state of shock, though he guessed that made sense. It wasn’t like they’d ever been in a huge gunfight in an unfamiliar town before. The things they were going through were enough to ruin anyone for life.

“I was in school when it all happened,” Aaron sniffed. “The lights went out...the electricity wouldn’t come back on...all the automatic doors to get inside got stuck and we couldn’t get out. So we all started to panic. There was chaos...fights broke up with the students...the teachers couldn’t control it...so we smashed the windows and managed to get out. I went home to my parents and I...I stupidly thought I’d be safe there. For the past couple of days it’s been relatively quiet...but now the prison gangs are out...and I’m scared of what they will do.”

“Aaron...tell us everything you know. We need to be prepared...how many escaped the prison?”

Aaron shook his head in fear. “Too many to count...I think a lot of others ran off on their own, but a large group of them have clumped together. I suppose there were at least a hundred of them. They came to our town in the middle of the night...they had a lot of weapons. I guess maybe they stole them from the prison guards. Our town is a few miles from the prison...we didn’t know they were coming until it was too late.”

“How do you know they’re all from the prison?”

“Well, they’ve still got their uniforms on...and they were all violent. Each and every one of them,” Aaron said. He swallowed. “They came into the town on foot...they started kicking down people’s doors. There were so many of them that we didn’t stand a chance...they killed...they killed my parents. They killed so many people...children too.” Aaron sniffed, wiping his eyes. Jake felt sorry for him. At least he still had Aby by his side. He touched her shoulder gently and she managed the smallest of smiles for him.
