Tales of the Wasteland

Tyler Part 3

"Where did you see her?" Miles asks form the other side of the kitchen leaning against the door frame. Honey sits up stares on watch with Miles scope. She was glad to see Hayden but i think it was just in the moment as her excitement died down a few hours later and her excitement died down. She has been acting relatively shy around Miles, avoiding eye contact, not speaking to him, just the way she is acting around him makes me think something is up. They were up there for a long time doing, i don't even know what. But what ever they did do has made them different. Hayden isn't our (Miles and I) favorite person but any information on Sabina is worth it.

"I was travelling out of Westwide." He gulps "I saw four people, two guys and two girls. One of them were being dragged along by a leash with her hands bonded together and her skin blotchy. I followed them for a while. This poor girl was getting slapped around. It was not until i heard her speak i knew who she was. I followed them to this massive base behind a mountain. They took her into a hut and that's the last i saw of her."

Miles seems so infuriated by the thought, i can tell how he stands there against the wall in a tightened position. "You just left her?" Miles barks "You knew where she was and you left her?" He is voice gets violent. I agree with Miles. If Hayden wanted to he could have helped her but instead he took off like the coward he is.
"Hey, there was nothing i could do. This camp she is at is highly patrolled by guards with dogs and rifles and knives. I have no weapons! what could i have done? These people though." He looks down too scared "They are really messed up."

"How?" I wonder out loud.
"They had people pinned to the walls outside of there camp with scratches and open wounds all over them."
"That's why you should have helped her!" Miles spits walking over towards Hayden looking to bash his skull in. I put my hand on his chest holding him back. I know the pain Miles will inflict on anyone who messed with Sabina and after today we don't need any more broken people.
"Look" I whisper loud enough for Hayden to hear "You and I can show him how much we hate him for leaving her there later, not now. He is the only one that knows where the camp is located and with that in mind he needs to stay in mint condition until we get her back."

"Okay." Miles nods "But after that he is nothing to me."
"You and i both Miles." For the first time since we have reunited I feel as if we are slowly moving on. This is the friendliest he has been towards me since i hurt Sabina. We discuss a few things over Honey's map trying to figure out roughly what is the best rout to take.

We were so lost in the moment that none of us realized Honey who was down stares getting Miles for his shift. She just tapped him on the shoulder still avoiding eye contact with him. She looks so warn out but insists to be filled in on the plan. I try to tell her i'm capable of taking watch but she gets angry when i ask "No! you will be an easy target." She would say every time. I see her hair sticking to the back of her head where she had gotten hit the previous night. I had almost forgotten about it.

"We need to clean that." I point out "Let me stitch it up or something. You'll get an infection." And like a good sister she allows me to do so. I have had many times when i've had to stitch my own wounds up with whatever i had with me, you'll be surprised how handy a spoon can be. But the biggest problem is that we have no medicine to disinfected it accept water. I lay her down in a prone position as i pour the water over her wound, it may not do much good but she will hang in there until we see a doctor of course. I have to rinse not scrub. I have nothing to close it off with but the bleeding has stopped which is good. She asks questions about the plan and try's to learn it like the back of her hand.

"Wait!" She suddenly says "first we need to look the place over, from a distance. We need to watch for the weak spots. Then we make our move to sneak in."

"Honey." I sigh "We might not have that much time." She turns her head and frowns "You are thinking so tactical but we need to get in and out un-noticed."

"We disguise our selves then." She suggests confidently.
"They have dogs Honey, they have a sent. If we dress up like them than we risk getting mauled."
"Tyler, they have dogs either way." She testifies. I prefer not to answer her question as she is true. I turn her head and continue rinsing her wound.

A long pause holds for ages. I finish washing Honey's head and she has now moved to the counter resting dozily. Hayden is asleep. Bastard.
"What has happened between you and Miles?" I wonder eager to know.
"Nothing." She responds in the darkness, her voice is drowsy.
"Why are you acting so strange around each other?"
"Nothing has happened Tyler can you please drop it." She begs. As she asked i dropped it, she is short tempered when she is tired and she hasn't properly slept since a few days ago. I'm still curious to know what they talked about up stares today. I'm going to find out one way or another but for now all our minds need to be on Sabina. We are going to get her no matter what we have to do, we will save her from her never ending nightmare.
