Chapter Thirty Three
I was continually scanning our neighborhood and the entire parameter, looking for any indication of disturbance. The revolver on my hip seems completely at home, and with it constantly within range, I feel much more confident than I have in a long time. I can accomplish anything and endure anything with this firearm.
"What precisely are we searching for?" Peter inquired as he sat down next to me.He was gripping his gun so firmly that his knuckles seem to have been pale, and I could sense he was upset about it."We're searching for a vehicle that has enough capacity for us and as many provisions as we can load and carry with us," I patiently stated.Peter's demeanor was beginning to grate on my sensibilities, but I understood his concerns about our strategy. I understand he's only concerned about Justine and Ricky, who have become his best friends and brothers, and about me, and even about individuals we've only justRelated chapters

When we returned home from our supply excursion, Justine and Ricky scrutinized every piece of Peter's brand new car for flaws. I overheard parts of their talk, but I didn't quite understand much of it since they utilized appropriate mechanical terminology, but I've never really been very knowledgeable about automobiles. The greatest I could do was capable of driving one, but then again, I'm not convinced. But if it kept breaking down someplace, I'd be in a huge amount of trouble.Rather than staying outdoors and watching the men inspect our new bike, I went inside the kitchenette. I delved into a transparent can of persimmons left over through the others' lunch approximately an hour earlier, using a wooden skewer.Diana sat at the dining room table, drinking water from a container. I've observed that she has this expression on her face every now and then. It's an expression that screams, 'I've lost someone essential to me; somebody I'll

I rested my forehead on his wide shoulder for a while, and neither one of us made any comment. We just remained there in quiet, appreciating one other's company. Relaxing in Justine's arms helped me feel a lot more comfortable and safer than anyplace else, and because this would be our final opportunity to create a safe environment and rest for a long time, I wanted to make the most of it. Because I don't know when I'll have another opportunity to cuddle up with Justine.He kissed the temple of my head and pressed his lips against my skin for a fraction of a second, sending thrills up my spine. "It's all right to feel terrified, Clementia. It's not an indication of immaturity.""I understand," I said.He was quiet again, his eyes fixed on nothing other than particularly. I could tell he was frightened because of the tightness of his jawline and the tight grasp he had over my shoulders. Justine has lost a large number of people sin

"Do you see something out there?" "Not yet," Justine stated. "I suppose we were by ourselves for the time being, but that really doesn't mean we should remain any longer than was necessary; the earlier we go back on the road, the better our possibilities of coming across a suitable spot to spend the evening." "What exactly are you beginning to think?" "How about a white picket-fenced-in residence, a holiday inn, and whatever else creates a formidable roadblock separating us from the external people? We'll take it in turns trying to maintain defense, as customary, have quite a relatively brief breakfast, and then hit the interstate again. We expect to be in Clinton during the day tomorrow, however, if the temperature rises, we may be required to add an extra day of journeys. I'm not sure whether our resources will be capable of sustaining it." "Don't worry, Justine. We'll be okay. We are always." He cast a peek at me. "I sincerely hope that you're right." The intonation of his voi

Mayette still seemed perplexed as to how we could view things the way we do, and I could not really reckon of anything further to speak to persuade her differently. She groaned and decided to abandon her efforts to join us. "How are you preparing for resources? Would you need anything for your journey?"Ricky and Justine exchanged short looks. "Are you willing to offer?" Ricky inquired gently."You helped me rescue two of my kids. I figured a few supplies would be the minimum I could do.""We could always need additional supplies," said Justine. "However, I don't want to steal anything from your group that you may use in the future.""Don't be concerned," Mayette said, disregarding his worries. "Our restaurant had a fully stocked refrigerator, refrigerator, and pantry. Because you see, restaurants normally provide food," she mumbled and laughed. "The married couple that owned it had its own portable generator, so the

"I'm not certain we should take the risk," Ricky murmured. "Whether one of us becomes sick, it will seriously impede our progression, and there's no knowing if we'll be successful in obtaining any medication to remedy it; even something as little as food poisoning may be lethal these days," he rightly observed. "The lowest date is three months from now," I said. "It's most likely alright." "But it may have been improperly kept; better to be safe than sorry," Justine sighed. Justine ignored the enticing cans of drinks and went on to the untouched cartons of quick porridge. He cracked open the package and shoved the considerably smaller and thinner packets into the protruding ziplock bag. "All we have to do is simmer some water, and there we have it! Slurry." "Decent tasting puree," I said with a chuckle. "Well, it's better than having nothing." "But contrasted to the MREs, this puree isn't going to taste all that wonderful," he shrugged. "We're accustomed to spicy, flavorful cuisi

"Stick close," I urged, taking the initiative. Honestly, despite the fact that my gun abilities have substantially improved under Justine's tuition, I'm not really prepared to take leadership in most scenarios. But, in reality, neither was Peter. He wasn't bad with his weaponry, but he's impulsive, impatient, and would rush into a circumstance without properly appraising it. Especially if his mind was on his arguments with Diana rather than the work at hand. He trailed after me, hunkering down a little by my shoulder, his eyes scouring the parking garage for any hint of activity. I could hear Diana and Justine moving about above us, so I attempted to block out the noise of their footsteps and concentrate on the space in front of us. The door is adorned with a bronze number eight. There are windows on both sides of the entrance, but the curtains were closed, so we couldn't see inside without opening the front door. Peter and I double-checked our firearms to be sure they were primed a

He whirled and saw us. The corners of his mouth quivered, and I know it's the closest I'll come to a grin while he's on patrol. That almost smile faded as his gaze wandered over my physique, and I remember the precise moment he saw the bruises and scratches on my face and arms. His rifle fell to his side as he vaulted from the pickup's canopy to the platform and vaulted over the rear bumper, landing with a loud bang on the asphalt ground.He took big, determined steps over to us. The way he tightened his fists till his knuckles were translucent and the way his nostrils expanded told me how angry he was. He touched the side of my face, keeping me close while he examined me up and down. His hands stroked over my face, delicately tracing the wounds. He's remarkably kind for how upset I know he was, yet even in his rage, I know he'd never injure me.Why would he be so enraged? It isn't his failure.

My head trembled. "Bicyclists aren't all terrible, Peter. These individuals need assistance, and we decided to assist Mayette. Here, we may kill two birds with one stone. Everyone comes out ahead. We'll spend the evening assessing them, and if we determine they're nice, we'll propose they proceed into town to locate her."While thinking about it, he nibbled his lower lip. "I'm not convinced, Clementia. I believe we should just leave these individuals on their way. I understand you want to assist everyone you can, but it's not worth risking our lives."I glanced to Ricky and Justine, who had been mostly silent. "What are your thoughts about this?""I'm right there with you, Clementia," Diana said. "I believe we should assist them. If we discover anything useful, we may return this route if we go straight to the cottage. And there is no such thing as having too many friends. Who's to say we won't need them again?"Ricky
