infected days.

plan of action

Shelby P.O.V

"Shelby please accept something to drink" said Diane sighing some as she poured two glasses of some kind of tea she had found in a cabinet in her place. 

i shook my head "i'm good..." 

"Shelb. i know Jerry meant a lot to you. and he was good friends with us all but... it's been a while now... you need to get out of this depressed state your in" said Diane. she handed Cocheta a mug of tea and looked at me "you've been like this since john came back and told us jerry died... its not healthy..." 

i started to say something but Cocheta interrupted me "i know what your about to say. yes he was your... boyfriend. and yes you loved him. but he wouldn't want you to be like this Shelby"

Diane Nodded "Mhm-"

"look guys... thanks for trying to cheer me up and all but... it's not going to work... i'm just going to go back to my place..." 

"your place or his place?" Diane asked 

"his i guess... my place doesn't feel very homey..."

Diane just shook her head and sighed "talk to you tomorrow i guess..."

Jerry P.O.V 

Ghost woke me up at approximately the time he said he would. about ten minutes later he came out of nowhere with a cup of coffee and told me to wake up fully and meet him in the other room. i sipped my coffee and thought.  john had threatened to hurt Shelby and the others if i didn't let him kill me, i fought back and i was still alive, did that mean he had actually killed them or was he lying. i had to hope it was the second one. 

after that i got up and limped slightly into the other room. ghost was staring at a map and a bunch of supplies lying on the table. he glanced in my direction slightly "now your awake fully we can begin planing"

"yes good morning to you as well Ghost..." i muttered under my breath as i walked over "what's the plan?"

he looked at me, his expression unreadable under his mask "there's a truck coming to pick up a supply drop left behind by another group they threatened, we are going to wait until the truck is loaded then jump in the back. when we get to woodwyn we are going to sneak out. find and kill john, and if we can we will save your friends. but no promises" 

I nodded "that sounds decent enough... but how do you know the truck is coming to pick up the supplies?"

he pointed to a radio on the table. i guessed he had stolen it from one of john's men or found it somewhere 

"what time is the truck coming" i asked next 

"roughly an hour or so before sunset, this is the last place their headed on their route, which will allow us to hide in the back with no one checking until we arrive"

"so... your plan is to jump in the back of this supply truck and hope they don't check it at the gate-"

"i've watched the place fore two weeks, they don't check at the gate, stupid, but good for us" interrupted ghost

"-at which point we get out of the truck, look around for my friends an john TRY, key word try, to kill john, then just walk out?"

"put overly simply but yes" said ghost "you have a better plan Assassin?"

i looked at him, not able to remember if i had told him about my part in the brotherhood, before sighing "no..."

ghost made sure he had his sniper before turning and walking towards the door "get the gear i'm providing you with, then meet me on the ground level"

i sighed and looked at a backpack sitting on the floor next to the table. picking it up and opening it, basic survival gear such as dressings, food, water, and an extra set of clothes that i doubted fit me, but there was also a holstered pistol, i guessed a Glock, and some ammo for it as well. taking a sip of the water and holstering the gun i put on the backpack and headed out the door.

hours later...

"load those crates any slower and the shamblers will eat you" commented one of the men guarding the workers as they loaded supplies into the back of the truck, a big military one used for troop and supply transport. me and ghost had been watching from around the corner as the men worked. finally roughly half an hour until dark they finished. the two workers and the guard quickly checked the back of the truck, then climbed into the cab, getting ready to leave. ghost quickly guestured to me to follow him, before dashing for and climbing into the back off the truck, after waiting a moment to see if anyone got out to check i followed in suite, climbing back there and heading as far away from the opening as i could sittting next to ghost, guessing that it would be a long ride...
