Sweet Nothing

Chapter eleven: Wreckage

(Lee's POV)

I stepped out of the RV to get a good look at the wreck. Kenny soon followed me after.

"Is there anyway we could get around it?" Ben asked.

"Doesn't look like it. Maybe on foot, but we really can't afford that now." Kenny said while glancing at Duck and Katjaa getting out of the RV.

"Lee, why don't you check out the train?" Kenny suggested.

"Sure, I'll get right on it." I said.

"Lee? Could you do me a favor?" Katjaa asked.

"Yeah, sure. What is it?" I said with curiosity.

"Can you look for something for Duck to eat?" Katjaa asked with sorrow in her eyes.

"Of course." I said with a smile.

I walked over to the train and opened one of the boxcar doors. I climbed in, but didn't manage to do so without a struggle.

"Goddamn, this is gonna take a while to heal. Isn't it?" As I touched my wound on my shoulder.

"Fuck, someone's been living here." I said to myself quietly.

"Do you think they'll be coming back?" Ben asked.

"Don't know. Maybe." I said.

"Jeez, that's just what we need." Ben said jokingly.

I started digging through the the pile of stuff. There was a lot of random junk, but it I found a bottle of water for Duck, and nothing useful.

"What's this?" Ben asked while holding a clipboard with a piece of paper on it.

"Let me see." I said while I walked over to look at the clipboard.

I stared at the paper for a minute or so.

"It looks like a map of the train route. This takes us right to Savannah!" I exclaimed with happiness!

"Do you think this train actually works?" Ben asked with a doubtful expression on his face.

"Let's fucking hope so." I said.

"C'mon, we should tell Kenny the good news." I said to Ben.

"Alright." Ben said.
