MINOTAUR


October 16th, 2010

Jeremiah Otto was dead and good riddance to that bitch ass man. I didn't know him very well, but I'm positive he was an absolute dick. I quit the militia. After I was poisoned with Anthrax, I wasn't gonna go through that shit again, so I quit

Though, Troy did not like that very much. We got into a bit of an argument. He tried to kill me, I tried to stab his other eye out. Just the usual. We gathered around the gate as cars stopped outside of it. Walker's people had arrived with the militia. Jake and Walker shook hands

"Here we go" Alicia said. Walker then motioned for the cars to move in, and they did. It was car after car after car. Once they got settled in, we went down to the cellar that stored everything. I saw Ofelia and I smiled. I walked over and put my arm around her shoulder. She looked at me with guilt in her eyes

"Look, I'm so-" I cut her off

"Save that for when we have our chat alone" I said with a smile. She slowly nodded as I removed my arm from her. Troy saw Ofelia

"No, not her" Troy said pointing at Ofelia

"Troy, this is not the time" Jake said

"What are you talking about, this is the perfect time. She's got no right to be here" Troy said

"She has every right. Ofelia is a heir to my people. We're here because of what she did" Walker said

"Man, do you really wanna rub my face in that shit, Taqa? Is that smart?" Troy asked

"If you can't accept her, how can you accept any of us?" Walker asked

"We accept her. We accept the nation here under negotiated terms" Jake said

"No we don't. We don't accept, we tolerate, all right? So let's just-" Troy was cut off

"That's enough, Troy" Jake said

"Smoke a peace pipe, or whatever sanctified these proceedings" Troy said. That's when one of Walker's people put their hand on Troy's chest

"That's enough" Jake said

"What's it gonna be, Troy?" The man asked

"God damn it! Enough!" Jake yelled before walking over to his brother. Troy looked at him and then scoffed before walking out

"How many feel as Troy does?" Walker asked

"Some. Most are loyal to survival. They don't care who provides it" Jake explained. Madison looked at Nick and he walked out. We all continued on in. Jake led us to the arsenal

"This is our militia's arsenal. Inventoried down to the last bullet" Jake said

"Is it secure?" Walker asked. Jake handed him a key to the arsenal
