In The End (Book 1)

Continued 3

After hours of driving along roads not much happened, we raided a few gas stations for gas and food. And the good news was that Eric had woken up. After a while while driving along the road, me staring back down the road, I spotted a small dirt road with a green bar gate blocking it off.

I knocked on the side of the truck"did you guys see that?" I shouted up front.

"See what? Larry called back.

"First off stop the truck!" I yelled

The truck slowly came to a halt.

"This better be good" Charles said getting out and walking over to me.

"You see that gate up there?" I asked pointing to it.

"Yes and I thought nothing of it" He replied.

"You're and idiot Charles, you said wherever the road takes us, well, I say that's where the road takes us." I said.

"Holly wants us to check out the fenced off road back there, all in favor?" He asked.

Larry looked back" no harm in it right?"

"Agreed" Eric said.

I looked at Charles and flashed him an exaggerated smile

"Fine" he said getting back in and doing a U turn.

"Holly can you get it?" Larry asked

I climbed out of the back and walked over to the gate. I was surprised to see it not chained shut. I flipped a never holding it place then grabbed the green bar and pulled it all the way to the left side of the road.
I waited until the truck was on the other side before closing it.

"Don't lock it just Incase we need an escape plan" Charles yelled.

"Okay!" I called back then vaulted back into the truck.

I stood up and turned around, resting my arms on the top of the truck. We drove along the woods for only about 30 second before coming to a big homemade fence made out of huge sheets of sheet metal. I stared in amazement as we pulled up to the front.

"Who goes there???" A man said from on top of the gate."step out of the truck with your hands up and I'll send some of my men down to check you."

We all got out of the truck and lined up, Charles, Eric, Me, and Larry. The huge gate slowly swung slid along the wall as three men walked out, the guy's on both sides wore black pants, a white shirt, and a black chest plate, both accompanied by Hunting rifles.
However the guy on the left had black hair and scrubble for a beard, his eyes dark brown, the guy on the right looked just like him except he had dark brown hair. The odd part was the guy in the middle, he wore khakis and a shiny green velvet long sleeve shirt with a head of semi curly reddish hair and green eyes.

"This here is Johnathan" the guy said motioning to the guy on the left"and this is James" he said motioning to the other guy."and myself is Chris" Chris said."you are?"

"I'm Charles, this is Eric, that's Holly, and that's Larry" Charles said motioning to each one of us.

"Very well, we'll be taking away your guns now, HOWEVER we're allowing you to keep hold of your knives" Cris said.

"Wwwwhhhyyyyy?" Eric asked.

"Because we believe that everyone should have a weapon but newcomers don't get guns because of our own safety, make sense?" He replied

"But what if you're the ones trying to set us up?" I asked.

"If I wanted you dead,you'd already be dead" he replied.
