I pack my things up, and walk out of my room, I slip out, avoiding waking up my roommates. It's 2:45 in the morning, and I'm already awake, walking down the stairs to meet up with everyone.
I open the glass door and walk out, it's brisk outside, but it's going to warm up as soon as the sun rises. I can only hear the wind, my footsteps, and an occasional animal. Nothing more, nothing less, it's barren out here. I grip my backpack, which holds my pistol that I always carry, a lunch, and some water.
I hear the chatter of everyone, surrounding a light and the trucks, I approach them.
"There's James, everyone's here. Let's go." Noah says
"Okay," Chloe raises her voice, "The plan is simple, drive in, get close to the peacemaker office, attack. Seize town hall, the charter is ours."
We all nod in agreement, and pile into the trucks. I follow Chloe, who offers to drive, "You get passenger seat, Delgado." She looks at me and smiles.
She jumps into the drivers seat, I open my door, and sit in the passenger seat.
It's a lot more comfortable than the backseats.
She turns on the engine and grips the steering wheel, she turns to me, "Your job is to tell me if we need to go a certain way, I know how to get there, but tell me if I made a mistake. There's a GPS on the screen." I look to my left, and I see a GPS showing where we are.
She puts the truck in gear, and we drive off, leading everyone else.
"How far away is this place?" I ask
"Fifty or so miles." Chloe says
We drive through the destroyed buildings, it's dead silent with the exception of our noisy trucks.
"Who's staying back and leading?" I ask, "Since I thought you are our leader."
"Eric, he's not too good with guns, he offered to stay back and make sure everything is okay." Chloe says
The sun starts to rise as we approach the charter, I see a few buildings, but that's really it, and miles of farmland.
"Is this one of the richer or poorer charters?" I ask
"In the middle." Chloe says
We drive up behind a plain, bright white building, the only one like it, "This is it." Chloe says
We park, and pour out. We walk over to the supply truck, who has our guns and armor. I reach and grab a rifle. I go back in and grab a helmet and a vest. I walk back and suit up, and arm my rifle. A man approaches Chloe.
"Chloe! We're so glad to see you! This is the building," Pointing to the white one, "Thank you so much." He walks away
Chloe looks confused, "No offer for help?"
"We can take them on by ourselves." Noah arrogantly says
Chloe gives the thumbs up, and we walk cautiously to the front.
"Do we storm? Or try to get them to surrender?" I ask
"Surrender." Chloe says, as someone walks up with a megaphone.
"We won't attack if you don't shoot, give it up, and no one will die." He says
They know we're here, and they know who we are.
No response back.
"We promise we won't-" The man collapses, with a bullet wound.
"Fire!" Chloe says, we all shoot at the glass, shattering it and revealing the inside, with at least 50 heavily armed men.
