Snoe

Episode 14

Chris and his hunting group come back from their hunt, and everyone else came back at the same time. Some people didn't go hunting, and instead went scavenging for materials. Chris calls a meeting. Everyone comes to sit down and listen to Chris.

Chris: "Has anyone here thought it strange we survived the nuke? We are here and alive, not just because we know how to take care of ourselves, but because William wants us to be. I don't know his plans, nor do I want to let him carry them out, but before anything else, we have to get Snoe back. Once we get her back, we can do anything. She is more valuable to our team than you know. If I had to guess, we won't be able to beat William without her, that's how important she is. Our first big mission starts now; we find a way to rescue Snoe!"

Everyone seems determined to start on the first mission. Ruth stands up.

Ruth: "What do we do first?"

Chris: "I am still coming up with plans, but I will let you all know what they are when It's time to do the first step"

Ruth: "How long do we have to wait?"

Chris: "Most likely, we'll start tomorrow, but the longest it would take is a few days. Anyone else have questions?"

Silence.

Connor: "Wanna eat?"

Chris: "Yeah, let's eat"

Everyone but Pop is eating the flesh of their victims. Chris notices and walks to him.

Chris: "Are you one of the people that don't eat meat?"

Pop: "I've never eaten meat before"

Chris: "What have you been eating?"

Pop: "Not that you would notice, because my shell doesn't shrink when I'm starving, but I haven't eaten since we got here"

Chris: "You need to eat if you want to survive, even if that means eating meat"

Pop: "Meat will mess with my digestion system"

Chris: "Trust me, it would hurt more to die of starvation than it would getting used to eating meat"

Pop: "Can you at least cook it?"

Chris: "Yeah, I'll go find something to cook it with"

Chris walks to Ruth, the leader of the collectors group.

Chris: "Did you guys find anything that could be used to cook?"

Ruth: "Yeah; we found a few propane tanks"

Chris: "I need one; we cookin' steak tonight"

Ruth: "I'm a fan of that"

Ruth points to the propane tanks and Chris goes over and picks one up. He searches the pile of collected metals and finds something that resembles a pan. He shouts to everyone.

Chris: "If you want your meat cooked, bring it to me"

A few people cut out slabs of meat from their victim and bring it to Chris. He finds a lighter, turns on the tank, and starts cooking the meat on the pan over the flame coming from the propane tank. When he finishes cooking that slab of meat, he gives it to Pop. Pop is reluctant to eat it, but he eventually took small bites out of it. Chris continues to cook a slab or two for everyone that wants their meat cooked. Everyone has blood on their face. A loud clang comes from something falling off the pile of metals. Everyone stops eating for a second and looks in that direction. A few seconds of silence pass, then someone runs from behind the pile to an exit.

Chris: "Connor! Chase him!"

Connor quickly drops his food and sprints at the person trying to run away. He catches up and pounces on them.
