Chapter 8- You deaf now?

My mouth dropped. 

Figurative of course, I'm not a cartoon.

" Do you know where he is?" 

" Old warehouse in Area 5," Tess said to Uncle Joel as she refilled my glass. "Can't say for how long though, you up for a fight?" 

" After what those people did to me, of course!"

" Your still healin' darlin'," Uncle Joel said. " You should stay-" 

" They beat me almost to death!" I practically shouted, my voice cracking. " They took a lead pipe to my stomach and killed my baby girl, along with Jessie, so don't you DARE tell me what to do!"

" Let's go get em' then," Tess said, as she headed for the door.

I grabbed the bottle of alcohol we were drinking out of, slid it into my left back pocket, and followed Tess. 

" The checkpoints still open," Joel said. " You got our papers?" 

" Yeah, so they shouldn't give us any heat when we reach it. 

" Attention," A female voice said over the inner calm. " Citizen's-" 

" Blah, blah, blah, blah," I huffed. " How many times do they have to play that damn message? Not everyone's deaf."  

" Rebelling against your own rules I see," Tess said. 

We exited the building and walked by 2 friends of ours. 

" Hey guys," Tara said, in a nervous tone. " How are you doin' sweetheart?" 

" Good," I lied. " We gotta go, see you around." 

" Bye." She said as we left.

When we rounded the corner, there were 3 people on their knee's, being scanned. 

" Idiots." I exhaled. 

" Your one to talk." Tess smirked as we walked up to the gate we were going to walk through to reach the wharf.
