ROCKY

I still don't know where we are, or where we're going. We drove all day, and I never dared to ask, it was better if I stayed quiet, in order to be discreet. We stopped at different kind of places, mall, houses... I always followed all the orders I was given, and so far, it went good.

According to the conversations I heard, we're doing one last stop before going back to the camp. I just hope we'll be at West Los Angeles, near Overland Avenue would be even better. Otherwise, I would have done all of this for nothing, and I really desire to find at last, if my brothers are still alive, and if they are, to bring them with me. Sure, I'm going to be discovered, but it's obvious the soldiers won't refuse them. I don't see the point of saying no and leaving us here being left to our own devices, when their job consist to get supplies and save people from this hell. I'm kind of worried though. Everytime I glance through the holes of the canvas sheet of the trailer truck, the place doesn't seem familiar. I'm still hoping, but... I don't know. I'm pretty sure we're far from the neighbourhood West Los Angeles. I close my eyes and lean back on the canvas, disappointed and devasted. I should have known I had a negligible  chance to meet Riker and Ross again. Going out was stupid, dangerous, and useless.

The truck eventually slows down. Then men around me start moving, ready to go out, and I imitate them. I let them get off first, and casually step outside.

Much to my dismay, it doesn't look like where I need to go at all. I look around, and observe I don't even recognise the place.  I swallow the lump in my throat as I join the others, who are checking the surroundings. All my determination is gone, and I walk slowly my head hung low, dragging my feet.

The trucks, that left the site for some reason, dropped us off not far from a what seems a big motel. Some soldiers shoots at a few Infecteds here, that aren't so numerous, before running to the parking lot, in front of the motel. I realise they're almost all there listening to the boss, so I speed up.

When I arrive, Boss already gave half of the instructions. I just stand there listening to them as much as I can.
