When The Bombs Fell

supply run

the reflection of Jax's bloodied face showed in the water, "damn bandits life's hard enough without them taking everything we find." Jax and his friend Dan had just finished a supply run they've been preparing for for weeks, its just theyre luck that they got robbed by red marauders as soon as they left the building. "well we didnt leave with nothing, i still have some food left in my bag." dan said looking on the bright side as always. jax just washed off his face and sighed. "dan were almost out of food our settlement wont last much longer. it wont be long till we get attacked and were not ready... its time we start weighing our options." dan knew what jax was mentioning, a few days ago a group of marauders came to their camp with a deal. they give the marauders people to use as slaves, and in return they get protection from rival gangs and food. "how can you  even consider that!" dan said disjointed in jax and his decision. "we have to make compromises! we have children their and if we dont start making the tough decisions they'll die too!" dan was quiet its not like he could do anything he was just a runner someone who set up supply runs and took care of the food level for everyone. and jax basically ran the settlement he decided what runs were happening and which weren't nothing happened without his say so. "grab your bag, we should get back before it gets dark." dan reluctantly grabbed his backpack and followed jax back to the camp thankfully they didnt run into much trouble all the fallen buildings and towers made for great cover. the only problem is that its the same for everything else int the wasteland. eventually they made it back to the camp, which means it was time to decide who got to stay.
