The Apocalypse

Part 8: Fun Problems

"Time to go inside everyone!" Mama Shawn called.

A little practice using guns and other weapons. Just to be prepared for the next time we go out of our safe zone we call home. The private Island. 

Vanessa: "Alright, inside everyone."

We all went inside and called it a day. The next morning I woke up early, everyone was already awoke some are in the pool, some in the arcade room playing, some just talking in the living area. While all the moms were preparing us all breakfast, I went outside and checked if everything was a-okay. I didn't see my friends around yet, I wonder where they could be.

"GOOD MORNING VAN!". Leonard came in for a big hug.

"Morning sweet cheeks" I smiled.

I saw them practicing their shooting and aiming so I joined them.

"Hey!" 

"Hey!! Morning!! We didn't wake you up earlier cause we know that you're tired from yesterday." Juan said.

"Oh haha it's okay!"

I looked around for Maurice and Danyelle and I saw them sitting on the bench near the garden. 

"Oh by the way, Vane.. Your mother said that we should get some more food supplies." Leonard said.

"What..... Doesn't she know how dangerous it is out there..."

"Well the supplies wont last long since we're too many here.. Mama Ber and Mom Kim also agreed with your mom." He said.

"Fine.. Tell the others we leave in an hour. I'll get ready, you prepare what we need."

I went back to the mansion having an attitude. It's really hard going out there in the city.. But as much as I don't want to go back, everyone is counting on us for our supply and clearly now we know the place, at least we could gain more experience from this.

Leonard told Maurice that we would leave in an hour so Mau stood up from where he was sitting and helped Leo prepare the things we need for our trip back to the city. I bumped into Anthony on the way to the mansion and he was not looking cheerful, so I followed him.

"Tony!" I called.

"Van.." 

"What's wrong Tony?" 

"My dad is having problems with me because he said he doesn't trust Maurice and Leonard.."

"Why is that??" I asked.

"Well.. you know..."

"Hey guys whats going on?" Maurice asked as he went in the mansion.

"Tony's dad is having problems with him." I said.

"What why??" Mau asked.

"His dad said he doesn't trust you and Leonard."

Anthony looked down on his feet as I talk to Maurice.

"Wow.. Racist much..?" Maurice said.

"Yeah" Anthony replied. "I hate him."

"Don't worry about him now it's okay. Go help the others we're going back to the city, alright?" I said.

"Okay.." 

This is not over yet. We are going to have a family meeting later when we come back. Not just one but all of the families in the mansion. It's my mansion. Be nice to my friends or leave. I went upstairs, took a quick shower and got some fresh clothes. 

"Hey Van! Time to go!" Leonard went in my room.

"EY! CAN'T YOU KNOCK!" 

"Don't act like you're not my girlfriend." 

"Jesus.. but a little privacy please.. god.." I sighed.

"Kitty" Leonard kissed me.

"no time for you to make me blush alright. LETS GO."

Everyone was already in the yate except for me and Leonard. I ran to the dock and looked at the things they have. 

"So you guys have everything you need?" 

"Yessss" A voice from inside the yate.

"w-wait what.. who.. Elle??" I wondered.

"Hi Van!" 

"W-why are you here??" I asked.

"Yeah exactly.. I didn't want her to come as well because it's too dangerous but she insisted." Maurice replied.

"well if you want to come you should have a weapon as well."

"I do have one!" She pointed a revolver at me.

"HEY! Don't aim unless you're planning to shoot! JESUS." I said. 

"I'm sorry!"

"Hahaha good thing she's not like me, if she is then I would have shot you already because I'm clumsy ..." Juan said.

"I don't have time for this, Alright! where's my grenades and guns?"

"Here it is Van!" Tony handed the belt full of grenades. 

Leonard drove the yate this time to avoid what had happened last time when we went home. I sat next to Juan and the others as we head on back to the city. Hoping not to get in trouble.

"Hey do you think our pick up truck is still there?" I asked them.

"I guess we will have to wait and see." Juan replied.

"This is gonna be fun." Anthony smiled.
