The damaged brains

Chapter 22 - The Refugees's Guard .

  " Mr Andrew ! . " A month ago Mr Andrew was the last person I wanted to see , but now I felt like hugging him .. and surprisingly so did he .

I let go stepping a bit farther .

" Oh really sorry .. I got you all dirty ." I felt emmbaraced .

" It's okey .. " He gave me a friendly smile , then he looked far behind my back as if he was expecting someone else to come . I didn't give him the opportunity to ask and instead I asked him about Ian crossing my heart that he would tell me he's doing okey ... and he is still alive .

" Where is Ian ? Is he okey ? ." I said as quickly as I wanted him to reply . But he wasn't saying anything ..

My heart froze and I felt like I am going to die , the hope inside of me faded away and Mr Andrew wasn't really helping by his silence .

The look on his face was terrifying , he did not want to tell me , he was holding something back .. after a dead silence while he finally spoke .

" Umm .. Yeah , he is fine . In the barn actually ." That was such a relief . But why didn't he just say so , what was he hiding .

I wanted to make sure that Ian was fine , I had to see him .

We walked in between the narrow fields to the barn the seemed abandoned .. but getting closer I could see that It wasn't really .

At the barn's far end a huge stone walls appeared , the walls weren't so high yet what was beyond I couldnt see .

" What's in there ?! " I asked Mr Andrew astonished on how well done the stones were hidden behind the abandoned barn.

" The Refugees Guard " He said in a proud tone .

" Im sorry ? " I cut his pride away , he turned to look at me with an appologizing smile .

" Um .. the shelter that we are still building .. refugees AKA survivors have allready heard about it and we so far are more than two hundred people . "

I was amazed , I havent seen more than twenty positive person in more than almost three months.

" It was just a matter of time , we were going to get back and get all of you to live here .. it's just that the job is not over yet ." It was like he read my mind .

" I probably should take a shower .. if that's possible .." I said with emmbaressement , there was no way I let Ian see me all covered in mud .. I looked like an idiot .

Mr Andrew nodded , he was so understanding .

We again walked toward the stone walls and reaching them we made a U-turn .

The morning bright sun shone upon a whole hidden village . It blew my mind , the view of all those people working hard to get the shelter done , men and women and even little kids were helping while the others just ran happily in the place setting cries of joys .. hope , the world was not over yet .

My mind was occupied on how amazing this whole view was when someone hugged me from the back .

I jumped and turned around to face Ian .. my heart stopped beating .

" Miss me ? " He turned my -paralyzed by shock body - to face and kissed me .
