Chapter 14 Booze Clues:

Bellamy's P.O.V (Almost 6pm):

If you told me a month ago that I'd be going through the ruins of houses with John Murphy and a wolf I probably wouldn't have believed you. Hell, I probably would have laughed.. But here I am.. Going through the ruins of houses with John Murphy and a wolf. There were only a few houses intact and the ones that were seemed in pretty decent shape, minus small holes and missing windows. Monty was right. There was a section of four solar powered houses. We could tell by the remains of the panels on the roofs of them. It looks like there were a few more of these houses before but they must have been just that little bit closer to the blast radius because they collapsed into themselves. We just finished looking through the second house of the four and we were on to the third one. We broke through the door with our shoulders and invited ourselves in.

"Hey, check it out." Murphy said as he picked up a disc case of somesort.

"Stay focused, Murphy." I stated as I tested the stability of the stairs to the basement by stepping on them and pushing down.

"Huh it's a video game.. Grand Theft Auto VIII: San Franbardo." He stated, ignoring my request, as he read the cover. "What's VIII?"

"I'm going to check the basement for the solar panel. You look upstairs for anything Monty and Jasper might have missed." I said, ignoring his question and earning a sigh from him and then making my way, carefully, down the stairs with my weapon ready and Warin right behind me. It was dark but thankfully there was a small window at the back of the room to give what little light we had left in the day. It was a pretty open basement which made it easier to go through. It seems the owners set this area up as a living room judging by the huge tv and comfortable looking couch. The sound of Warins paws clacking on the hardwood floor was a peaceful noise. I stayed focused and went to the only door that was down there and opened it up to find a storage room of sorts. It was pitchblack and there was no way I could see anything in there without a flashlight.. I knew Murphy had one because he told me Kane gave him one. So I made my way back up the stairs and then up the second set of stairs to the upper floor. I heard Murphy rummaging around in one of the rooms and walked in.

"I need your flashlight." I said as he was looking at some kind of device.

"Here." He took the flashlight out of his bag's pocket and handed it to me then went back to messing around with the device.

"Thanks. What'dya got there?" I asked.

"A cell phone. Trying to see if it works so we can get some music bumping when Raven gets that car working."

"You really think she's going to get that thing working?" I asked.

"Bellamy. You gotta start having more faith in us, man."

"Oh I have faith in you guys.. Just don't have faith in our luck."

"Yeah well.. Maybe that'll change." He said and I just gave a nod and walked out of the room and back down the two sets of stairs. When I made it down to the basement and flipped the flashlight on I could see much more of the room.. Including the four bodies in the corner huddled together. A family, two kids and two parents. Warin went over to them and nudged one of the smaller bodies with his snout. As I looked at the father and son I couldn't help but think of that Lovejoy boy. I killed his father for the uniform.. And then I killed him. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and moved on to the storage room. It was full of tools and wood. There were two boards propped up against the wall. I walked over to them and peaked behind one to find out that they were solar panels! Maybe Murphy was right. Who woulda thought?
