Chapter Jebedaiah
-Thomaz , thomaz. These are possible guess show a bit of decency , said a man well dressed , my name is Finn and I run , Ridgeway town a couple of kilometers away .Where are you from
-Im sorry , Little Thomaz , you went to school together with my son , weren't you his roommate ,ask Jeb
-Sure was mister J, its been a while isn't Jay with you , ask the young man
-Sorry Thomaz , Justin is an infected ,we lost him , said Jeb
-Im sorry , for your loss sir , Said Finn , outside is a very dangerous place and what about you ,what is your name , he ask Pezzie
Jebedaiah wasn't sure how he felt about the man , he saw him and Pezzie talk and she was laughing , the man was barely forty and was running a town , but by the look of thomaz and him they look cleaned , healthy , well fed , this town could be a good option .Thomaz , he knew Thomaz , he was a Justin little trouble maker friend ,but he had a good heart ,the number of time he had carried his son after a night at a bar . He trusted Thomaz
-Excuse me , said Jebedaiah , you mention something about a town , Ridgewater
-Any friend of Thomaz ,is my friend , and its Ridgeway , pretty solid town one of the last bastion of mankind , we live mostly of food amassed before shit went bad, got lots of potential , we even have a doctor and electricity .
-Wow this is great Jeb , said Pezzie
Jebedaiah was trying to mesure Finn , this was too good to be true, there gaze met
-Too good to be true right , said Finn , lets let Thomaz explain our situation
Thomaz stepped forward
-The town is big ,but we are missing people , we have a lot of people sure , but we need a more diverse skillset , you could be so useful , mr. j you use to be a farmer , we have a lot of land and we already have a small field .
There had to be something else , the amount of risk , the amount of ammo it had took , for two survivor . The tradeoff was small, yet they were surprisingly excited to see them
-Tell you what , you come visit ,have some food , we again have electricity so a steak is possible , perhaps even some pizza , he said winking at Pezzie , if you like what you see , we can talk about, how we can work for the future together , if your not convinced , Thomaz will be the one to drive you back to your car , with gaz, some food and some water
Jebedaiah was thinking about it, when Pezzie said
-If we can bring the dog and we get to feed it , it's a deal
-Not only can you do that , but we have a police officer one who use to work with dogs, he could help you train yours, said Finn
After he had heard half a dozen of Pezzie pleas , he mumble a "ok". The car ride had been almost solely Flinn selling the place , if it was so great, he wouldn't have to sell it , Jebedaiah didn't know why he hesitated this much, he now knew his son was dead , he was free to go wherever he wanted , as long as him and Pezzie were safe , who cared right .When they finally arrived at the place he was forced to admit it had potential , after the first thing he had noticed he felt a huge release of tension , it was one of those old gated community . The gate in itself were really something , he walked in the gate and was greeted immediately by people , they too looked clean , there was house after of house , he even smelled fresh food.
-This place his great ,said Pezzie
Jebedaiah had to agree this place was pretty great he couldn't argue there. As they walk they even saw some pig and a cow, man what luck ,he thaught , they finally arrived in front of some houses
- why don't you two take shower , id like to ask you guys some questions once your finished
- Thanks for everything, exclaimed Pezzie
- thank you, said Jebedaiah
They entered the house , Jebedaiah could not believe how clean it was , has someone been living here , or where all the house this clean .As he look around this house was pretty solid , it had electricity , all of this was exciting . it even had two room
-What do you think ,said Pezzie
-It is pretty great , he answered ,almost too good but if this is all true , this place could be their new home ,take a shower ,we will see what are those question they want to ask and how we can help around here , hopefully our life on the road is over.
The shower was heavenly he had forgotten how nice hot water was , he smiled , this place could be it . Every warm drop on his skin ,increased his trust in this town.He had let Pezzie go first , fearing for a limited amount of hot water . he got out and change , she hugged him
-Thank you Jeb , this place his great , there is a lot of potential, she said
- I agree , now lets not make our host wait anymore . he said
As they came out , a group of ten people was waiting for them , they all introduce themselves , people seemed kind around here , she had even brought them a large bowl of lasagna , he was definitely convince .Then he saw Finn
-Pezzie can you go play with the other children over there , me and Jebedaiah need to speak, he said before adding , hey man mind if we talked inside .
Jebedaiah nodded , was that an interview they went in the kitchen , where Flinn took out a thermos and poured them some coffee
-So jebedaiah ,tell me about yourself, said Finn
Jebedaiah told him about the kids , the farm and his journey so far, he left out his trip to zombie town , thinking it was a bit much after only knowing the man a couple of hour
-So youre telling me she isn't your kid , why did you helped her, he ask
Jebedaiah told him about how they met and added that it was the right thing to do
-It was the right thing to do , and we could definetly use a farmer, that settles it welcome to ridgeway , said Finn
It was Jebedaiah turns for the question
-How did you manage to accomplish what you did here, he asked
-I was a real estate agent , most of the people here were client I was pitching this project too , when all of this finally hit I offered shelter , most of these people were pretty rich , even in the apocalypse money had power, that how we got the solar panel ,the large quantity of food , he answered
-This place is too good you got very lucky ,said Jebedaiah
-Oh we do have some problem, said Finn
