End Of Everything (Book 1)

40: Stolen

*Johnny's Pov*

"Come on babe you got this, your life depends on this next move." Claire whispers in my ear.

"Fuck it I'm just gonna to risk it all." I grunted.

I slammed a plus four on to the pile of cards, stacked on the RV kitchen table. "Uno, color is blue." Everyone gasps as I stare daggers into Olivia's eyes.

We've already beat everyone else except each other in this intense uno tournament. Well everyone except for Robert he's on guard duty. She only has two cards left and I only have the one lonely blue 8.

Olivia begins to evil laugh and I already know what's about to happen, damn you Liv.

"Uno, color's red dumbass." She wickedly said as she stacks my plus 4 with her own, making me have to pick up 8. "And don't bother picking up your 8 Depp, I'll save you the trouble." She smirked putting down a red reverse.

"Damnit!" I slammed the cards on the table frustrated. Even back before the end of the world, I could never beat her in uno. Complete and utter bullshit if you asked me.

"Gonna live up on your end of the deal or is your pride gonna be a problem Ambrose?" She teased.

"Find let's get this over with." I sighed. We both stand out of our seats around everyone else. She gets down on one knee as Claire hands me a silver spatula.

"I hereby dub thee Ms. Olivia Blake the queen of uno." I corlnated her. 

"Anddd..." Olivia said milking her victory.

"Anddd, I'm a idiot sandwich and you win my last right twix."

"Thank you." She smiled.

"Why a right twix? What about the left?" Ruby asked chuckling. Claire, Olivia, Simon and I all gasped at her words.

"Right twix is the best candy to ever exist. The left is disgusting and is made with mike, and we all know ike was the best once they broke up." Simon explained to her.

"That explained nothing but I'm gonna go take a nap, this baby is kicking my ass." She sighed. "I had a blast but I will win the next tournament."

"We'll see about that, but get as much sleep as you can." Mark said waving her bye with the rest of us.

"Don't forget to take your meds Johnny." Ruby yelled from the back room.

"I'll try..ow." I yelled back but was hit on the arm by my wife. "Jeez I was kidding babe." She gives me the 'sure you are' look and I roll my eyes. I'm able to walk perfectly, but the pain is still a bitch.

"Catch." Olivia said while throwing a pill bottle to me. I caught it with one hand and thanked her.

"Can we talk for a second? It's serious." Nicole asked me as I swallowed the pill. I nod as I followed her outside.

"What happened?" I asked her as we stopped in front of the helicopter.

"I was taking a look at our inventory and I noticed we're missing a good chunk of it. There's either someone out there stealing from us or.."

"Someone in the group stealing from us. You think we have a mole?"

"It seems that way yes. I know it couldn't of been you, that's why I came to you with the information." I scratch my chin thinking of what she just said. I really don't know who'd do something like this to us. Especially with all we've been through.

"No one else but us knows. So lets keep it that way until we get to the bottom of this, okay?"

"Got it, s..so what do you want me to do?" She asked while taking her long black hair out of a ponytail.

"Guard the inventory closet, make sure it don't happen again. I'll look around for clues." She nods and heads back inside the RV. What am I gonna do if I found out it was one of us? Never a dull moment in this world.

"So looks like we have a new case detective Johnny." I hear Lily say in a fake british accent.

I look around to find her but she's no where in sight. I check the helicopter and spot her sitting in the pilot seat. She's wearing a tiny black tux we found a few days ago, with a black fedora. Her brunette hair is put in a ponytail and she has on my dad's sunglasses. She seen it and thought they were cool when we visted my house the other day.

"Okay one, you can't be listening in on conversations like that it's rude. Two why do you look like a tiny man in black agent, and three detective?"

"I wanted to play dress up and decided to be a spy. But after I overheard your conversation, detective it is." She explained putting a fake british accent on the last part.

"So what makes you not a suspect 'detective'?" I raised my brow, leaning on the chopper, folding my arms.

"Because I'm not a dirty cop, duhhh."

"I can't even be mad at that." I chuckled. "Fine you can be my partner in crime. Let me know whatever you find okay?"

"Got it, we'll be the best detectives in the world. The case starts now, I must go partner." She said with her fake british accent, scurrying out of the helicopter and into the RV. I couldn't help but laugh. Claire walks out of the RV and heads straight for me.

"Hey, what's up with Lily?" She asked chuckling.

"She's playing dress up and is now a detective." I explained.

"Oh that's so adorable."

"I know right. I'm glad she can find a way to have fun here."

"Same, it must suck to have no one here her age."

"You're definitely right about that." I sighed. Claire runs a finger through her curly brunette hair and sighs.

"So what did Nicole want to tell you?" I had a feeling she was gonna ask me that.

"I'm sorry babe but I can't really tell you right now. You'll know soon though okay?" I scratch the back of my neck.

"Okay I trust you." She gives me a kiss on the lips. "I love you." She winked.

"I love you more beautiful."

"Hey! I can see Dylan and it looks like they have someone with them." Robert yelled from the top of the RV. I head to the back of the RV and climb the ladder to the roof to stand next to Robert, who's sitting in a white lawn chair with a rifle on his lap and binoculars in hand. He hands me the binoculars and I look through them spotting the group.

They don't seem hurt, that's good. There's a blonde woman with them. She looks like she hasn't eaten or bathe in awhile. She has on just a green blanket, not even shoes on. Dylan I hope you know what you're doing.
