Brandy Creek (Book Two Completed)

Part 6

Mato, Micah, Lex, Seb, Wyatt, North, Anthony, Sissy, and Becca. That's who came up to help us, there were more to volunteer but Mato had put a cap on the amount of people. He didn't want to have to manage so many people and worry about them. I had asked about Sissy and Becca. I was told Sissy had been a nurse longer then I had been alive, plus she has been married to a government spook, she knew how to handle a gun. Becca had all but bullied her way into the group to come with or so I've been told. Lex, Sissy and Becca would stay in the church with the vehicles, only joining us after we cleared the camp.

"We have three teams, two of three and one of two." Mato says glancing over everyone. We were crammed into the back room, around a table with a crudely drawn map of the camp. There's a small lantern light on, Mato was worried the big over head would bleed out into the actual church. "Wyatt and North will be the team of two, they will be running the outskirts. Find a high perch."

In other words they would be the snipers.

"One team will go in through the other buildings to the north. The second team will have to go through the small patch of woods in the south east." Mato points its out, Bjorn had been the one to make the map, he was more familiar with the land then I am. "As we run up North and Wyatt will be taking out any guards that come to close to spotting us before we can get them."

"I'll be lead of team two." Micah says then looks over to me. "With you and Bjorn."

I give him a nod but one look at Bjorn tells me he's not happy with that. He wouldn't say anything about it, yet, but he's not happy. He'd have to get over it for the time being. Mato hands the second radio over to Micah. "Lets head out now, get into position and wait until most of them are in a house or passed out."

With that we are geared up and split into groups. I chose to forgo my big pink gun, leaving it with Seb. I would use small guns, knives and steal theirs if I had too. As we leave, as we start walking towards our spot, I feel my heart beat faster in anticipation. There's a notable pep in my step as I follow behind Micah. I was made for this. Huge bloody fights is my bread and butter, from Fernando's teachings to what Bjorn brought me into.

"Don't get to excited." I hear Bjorn say behind me. "We might have to wait a little while."

Micah glances back at us then runs his eyes over me, I give him a large smile. "I haven't been in a fight in so long, I miss it."

"You miss fighting?" Micah asks turning back to watch where he's going.

"I was raised to be the head enforcer, trainer and everything to do with fighting." I tell him. "Violence and fighting is what I grew up on, its my normal."

"I don't know much about you." Micah throws out there without looking back. "After this we should all gather together and have a chat."

"We should."

"I'm not joining." Bjorn says.

I throw him the bird over my shoulder. I'm not sure if he sees but it makes me feel better. "I don't think you'll want to be there. I'm not even sure if I want to be there, I'm not good with talking about past shit."

"Then we will." Micah turns back this time and I think I spot a smile. "You don't know much about us, we can talk and you can listen. If you want to let us in about yourself you can, I wont push. I can't promise about Lex though."

Yeah, I think Lex would have a boundary issue there. I could see him being noisy and asking a bunch of questions I wasn't ready to answer. We walk farther in silence because we were getting closer to the makeshift walls. Bjorn moves up with the bino's I had earlier and Micah puts a arm around my waist pulling me to him. It was weird being ready for the bloodshed, being excited for it and having someone hug me. I turn in his arms to lean against him but to also watch the walls.
