"Make it happen. Shock everyone."

I sit beside Nick, just eating what was served today. Its peaceful today, and I'm going to take advantage of that and just relax.
"Alicia didn't come home last night." Mom says as she walks up to the table and siting in front of us.
"She's a big girl now." Nick says.
"I don't think she's in the camp."
"I can ask Jake if he has seen her." I say, wiping my mouth with my napkin.
"She's probably with Golden Boy." Nick goes with me.
"Strange not to see either of them, all the shit that went down." Mom says.
"Will you go to Jake's?" Mom asks Nick.
"No." Nick replies, why didn't they ask me?
"I'll go." I offer.
"Let her be." Nick says, ugh I just want to help. My connection with my family is almost gone now.
"Morning. You, uh, seen your daughter?" Jeremiah says, standing beside our table, my hand mark still very visible.
"No." mom replies.
"Jake's AWOL with some gear and he's not in his quarters. I know your daughter and him are, uh... courting." Jeremiah explains.
"Could they sneak past the guards?" Mom asks.
"There's a lot of acreage out there, and Jake knows every inch of it, so it could be." Jeremiah replies.
"Well, where should we start looking?" Nick asks.
"We don't." Jeremiah says.
"What? They can get killed out there." I protest for the first time in a while.
"I can't spare another search party, and I'm not sending these good folks out there after all that's happened- Indians on the warpath." Jeremiah explains.
"Point me in the right direction." Nick finally gives into what I believe.
"You won't make it a mile out there-" I cut him off.
"At least Nick's trying."
"So what, I just sit around, thumb up my ass, like you?" Nick argues, like sister like brother.
"You feel strong, son? Hmm? Wanna arm up, man up? Troy's taking new recruits. He'll fix it up so its not like we're sending a sheep out to slaughter." Does he really think its the time to be doing this?
"I'm in." Nick gives in.
"Nick, come on." But mom doesn't.
"I'm with mom on this." I tell them.
Nick stands up and leaves the table with his cup and tray. I do the same but instead of doing whatever he's doing, I go back to the cabin and grab my arms. I'm not going to sit and act as if nothing is happening. I put a gun in the back of pant and a knife inside my boot.
Once I'm fully armed, I head to were I see Nick and Troy talking. I'm just going to wait until they stop talking, and then I'll go talk to Troy.
Once Troy hands Nick the gun, and Nick walks away.
"Troy!" I call out, approaching him. He excuses himself from the new recruits and walk closer to me.
