Clem and Gabe

24: Armed and Dangerous

Gabe's POV

We all got gear together and headed out into the unforgiving, cold, desperate place that is our world. I wish it wasn't like this. Why? What made everything go to absolute shit?! At least I have Clem. I hugged her as we walked through the woods.

"What was that for?" She asked.

"I love you Clem." I said.

I held her hand as we walked. Grace and Gill were holding each others hand. We kept walking then I asked Jeremy if they had a map. 

"Yeah here you go!" He said as he handed me the map.

I took a good look at it. It showed our base in the upper corner. A few small shacks here and there and a giant building at the bottom right hand corner that's so big the whole thing doesn't fit on the map. It's the Spike Raiders base. We were walking towards it but it's still super far away. Then one of the women came up to me.

"Who are you anyways?" She asked.

"I'm Gabe. That's Clem, AJ, Jesus, Becca and Molly." I said.

"Alright well I'm Jess, and that's Orion, James and Mary." She explained.

Then we heard an engine roar. We all stopped. We looked around as we heard a whining noise becoming louder and louder. Until a pair of headlights came up over a hill towards us. It was a giant armoured truck with spikes on the front and a manned turret on top. We all jumped out of the way except Mary. The spikes impaled into her stomach and she was rammed against the front of the truck. We all began to run. Then the truck came up behind us again. We all jumped out of the way. It slammed on the brakes. Clem jumped on the back. The truck flew around and that's when the gunner started shooting. 

Clem's POV

I climbed onto the back of the truck. I held handles on the top as I crawled towards the gunner. Night was falling. I grabbed his head and snapped his neck. I jumped through the hole into the truck. I shot the passenger then jumped into his seat. The driver grabbed his gun but I punched him in the face. The truck swerved and I looked out the windshield. We hit a tree. The truck caught on fire.

Gabe's POV

HOLY SHIT! CLEM! I was freaking out. Then I saw a person walk away towards us from the flaming truck. It was Clem. She was fine. The truck blew up as she walked away. She's my little badass. We walked back to base.
