End Of Everything (Book 1)

26: Give Me A Sign

*Claire's Pov*

I feel something hard on my head, yet comfortable. My eyes open to discover that hardness is my husbsnd's chest. His arms are around me and so is a blanket for the both of us. I look up to him and kinda stared at his cute, peaceful, sleepy face.

I stop starring at him to look around us. We're on the floor of the library we found last night. Tall bookshelves surrounded us, tables that we didn't pile on the door were spread out ahead of us. One of the tables had Robert laying on it. I think this the first time since the incident he's been able to sleep. He actually hasn't been able to sleep good since losing Sam and Tyler.

I sat up, stretched my arms out, and yawned. I give Johnny a kiss on the cheek before starting to get up, only to have my arm grabbed, and taken right back down to his chest. He wraps his arms around me holding me tight. Damn his strength.

"Five more minutes babe." Johnny whined with a sleepy voice. I couldn't help but smile and cuddle right back into his chest.

"Alright love only five minutes, okay?" He makes a noise, that I can assume means he understands.

Suddenly the sound of static is heard through the silent library catching our attention. We get up instantly and head to the sound. Johnny and I get to the table were the sound is being made from with the walkie on top of it. The others quickly join us as Johnny picks up the walkie.

Beeps in a pattern start to come out of the walkie talkie, some short and long beeps.

"Morse code!" I damn near yelled. I quickly apologized for the outburst and scaring everyone half to death. I quickly run to my bag and pull out a pencil. I used one of the empty sheets of paper to right what I was hearing.

"You know morse code?" Troy asked.

"Yes, now quiet I need silence." I said as I start to decipher it.

'WHOEVER GETS THIS, I'M IN MICHIGAN. PHOENIX BASE ALPHA, PROTOCOL TITAN NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. MY NAME IS DYLAN ROBBINS, S.O.S.'

"I knew it." Olivia whispered. I look over to her and seen a smile on her face.

"He still finds ways to help us, even when the odds are shitty." Johnny smirked.

"What the hell is Protocol Titan?" Troy asked.

"No clue but it doesn't sound good at all." I answered.

"Let's get going then, cut the time short ya know?" Olivia stated while heading towards her stuff in the corner.

"Where in Michigan are we gonna look first?" Jenny asked.

"Same plan as last time. Get to his house and find clues. Then we'll find him easier. Hopefully we can get another radio help from him. But in the mean time we know what to do." Johnny answered. Everyone broke off to go pack.

I look at Johnny as he has his adorable thinking face on. He brought his fingers to his chin and started to pace. I walk in front of him stopping his pace.

"What's cooking in that brain of yours?" I raised a brow to him.

"Just wondering what the hell protocol Titan is, and how we're going to stop it and save Dylan. We're way out of our league when it comes to these guys. And I don't think I can take another lost." He said with his voice cracking on the last part. I intertwine my fingers into his and hold his hand.

"They don't know we're alive. We have someone on the inside. As long as we be smart about things we can defeat these odds. We're Ambrose's we can beat anything and look good doing so." I winked at him. He gave me a big smile before pulling me close to capture my lips with his.

The butterflies still in every kiss we have, not losing the spark that's been there for years. Our lips part and I miss them already.

"I love you so damn much." He smiled.

"I love you always." I smiled back to him.

We head to our spot, packed, and met up with the others at the door. The tables and chairs were moved from the doors so we can exit.

Johnny gave us a nod and we all nod back confirming we're ready. We pull out our knives just to be safe. Johnny opens the door and two growlers turned to head our way.

Robert takes one out driving his knife in his skull and I do the same to the other. The crisp morning air hit me right in the face, making me really miss the heat that we got in the school.

We all get into the car. Simon, Nicole, and Troy got in the the very back. While Jenny, Olivia, and Robert sat in front of them. I sat in the drivers seat while Johnny sat passenger.

I wasn't the best driver, but I'm glad I had David's and Sandra's teachings when we were on the rode, and Sam's help when we settled in Harriet. I really started to miss them. It really hurts that I couldn't say goodbye to them. Damn this world.

I start the car and we drive off towards our destination. After dodging a few cars, poles, and trees we finally get on the highway. Of course there's even more cars to dodge on the highway.

"What are we even going to do when we get there? I already hate that we have to go up against them again, especially with our odds." Troy asked with his usual stanky attitude.

"We'll know exactly how we are going to when we get there, but for now we'll  have to work with what we got. As long as we try, even if we do fail." Johnny answered.

"Yeah if we fail we die. I'm tired of putting my life on the line. That was one of the shittiest days of my exstince. I owe Phoenix an even shitter day for what they done to us." Troy sighed.

"With every fiber in my body those assholes will pay. Tyler didn't deserve what happened to him. None of them did for that matter." Robert added into the conversation. I was going to add something but was cut off by Simon.

"Uhh dudes, I think we got company." I check the rearview and seen a light brown RV coming our way.

"Damnit what now?!" Johnny yelled frustrated.

"What should we do?" I asked in a panic. There were still cars and some growlers ahead of us to dodge. The car was silent for a second, until Johnny sighed.

"Pull over."
