World of Decay: Escape Artists (Book 1)

chapter 20

A meeting is taking place at the girls base. Lacrisha has called it do to how much food they have. There has been some shortages because not enough food is coming in.
Lastnight they cleared out the infected in the apartments and began to move in furniture. They originally thought the place had nothing in it because there were no cars or any signs of life whatsoever. Like a freshly built house.
Lacrisha stands at the front of the sitting crowd. "As you know there are lots of us here. A total sixty-three to be exact. I know lastnights actions left you all tired but we need to start resource plots immediately. So many people are here there has begun a lack if supplies. Mostly food."
Nyla raised her hand and Lacrisha pointed. "We should go to one of our neighbors then. Ask for seeds and we give them our metal. We got enough to build this place twice over."
Lacrisha paused taking in the info. "Yea. Our closests neighbor's are the town Poca and Winfield. I need volunteers to carry the rods over to each settlement. Nyla you take Poca and choose who you please. Only fifteen. Jamie since you love exploring you can lead the other. Ill come with to negotiate the agreements."
They both nodded and got up out of the crowd. It is amazing how these people follow her. Especially Gabby who wouldn't leave Lacrishas side.
When they found this place she asked who wanted to lead them. Nobody spoke up so Lacrisha automatically became leader without a single argument or fight. Lots of the girls were stuck up and loved to lead but they buttoned up when they realized nobody payed attention to them. They didn't say a word about the person they called psycho leading. All their balls went out the window kver how how many people like Lacrisha. No way they could start a revolution and win.
After twenty minutes they were ready to go.
Lacrisha had no idea how the generals would react. Thats their school name. Winfield Generals. Mean green fighting machines. Sounds like Sherk. She loved that series.  Always wanted to be a general and now she is. Leading her own army to do business with the others.
She began to wonder how everyone in Poca high is doing. Are they ok? What are tgey doing right now? Are they still even there? Why did we ever leave them in the first place?
Ow, yea. Thats why. James and his snobs desided they wanted to run the show when Daniel should have been. He could persuad people to help out. A political leader. I wonder how he is or did he die?
Last time I saw him was right before we left on our own with the food we stole. Felt bad about it but what more could we have done. Nobody wanted to stay with him incharge. Maybe mine and Daniels' path will cross again one day.
