Veronica POV

I waved my arms in front of the surveillance camera for a few minutes before the gate opened. I ran inside to be greeted by two men.

"You hurt?", one asked.

"No but my friends were taken.
And our truck ran out of gas. I need help.", I said and they exchanged looked.

"Alright come on. We know someone who can help.", the other stated before I followed them inside the double doors. I scanned the room to see people standing around talking. As if this epidemic isn't taking place right outside those doors.

"Yah, sounds like Bobby's group is back at it out there.", one of them told a blonde male.

"The little shit didn't learn from last time huh?", he stated before standing up. He turned to look at me before reaching out his hand.

"Kin Taehyung. I'm the one in charge around here. Now I need you to tell me where you were attacked."

Leila POV

I groaned softly when I was tossed onto the floor. I say up to see a small group surrounding me. The guy who brought me, the one who snuck up on me at the gas station, a pregnant woman and another man with his arms crossed.

"Where the fuck did you come from?",  one asked. I remained silent as I stared up at him. He pulled a gun, setting the barrel to to my forehead.

"Get the gun out of my face.", I stated.

"Bobby let up man.", One of the guys said.

"Fuck that Minho, she came here."

"Correction, I was brought here after you grabbed me dickhead.", I sneered and he narrowed his eyes. He backed away and I looked over at the pregnant woman. I grabbed my backpack before holding it out to her.

Captain jackass or Bobby as they called him reached for it and I snatched it back. "I'm not giving it to you, I was passing the bag to her."

"Why does it matter?", Bobby asked.

"Because unless you have a baby on the way, the things in this bag are usless to you.", I retorted and Minho stepped forward to grab the bag.

"You're MoonMi?", I asked and she nodded.

"Your friend, Terry, wanted me to look for you. She gave birth yesterday but, neither her or the baby made it.", I said and she stared down at the floor.

"Why should we believe you? You couldve killed her for all we know.", Bobby spat.

"That's enough."

"Why are you defending this bitch? She came to-" Before he could finish his sentence I snatched the gun before kicking his feet from under him. He hit the floor and I aimed the gun between his eyes.

"Bobby?", another voice called out and I turned to the doorway to see Veronica with two others.

"Leila! You're okay. Where's Suhoon?", she asked running up to me.

"Take her to him.", I told the man who dragged me to this room.

"You're not the boss of me."

"But I am, now do what she says and take her to him before I kick your ass.", the man said with a frown before Veronica was led down the hall.

"Bobby, you are really trying my patience.", He said walking towards me as Bobby held scowl on his lips.

"Whatever.", Bobby scoffed.

"Kim Taehyung. Your friend came to me saying you were taken and I figured you were here.", he introduced.

"Fuck off Taehyung I can handle this."

"No you fuck off. How many times do I have to tell you were not like the other groups. You don't have to kill everyone you see and take their shit."

"They followed us into the gas station."

"We were running out of gas asshole.", I snapped as Veronica and Suhoon walked through the doorway. The other woman knelt down to Bobby's side and I lowered the gun.

"Bobby, just stop for now okay.", she mumbled holding his head and I turned to Suhoon, checking him for wounds.

"I'm alright.", he chuckled and I nodded before hugging him. He gave a small laugh as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Jennie csn you keep him tamed please. I'm sorry for him. He's just been on edge.", Minho sighed.

"No being afraid of everyone is being on edge. He's just being a dick.", I said and he sneered in my direction.

"He's a hothead, as you can see.", Minho stated and I took the clip out of the gun, tossing the two pieces across the room.

"He needs to work on that.", I said before turning to Taehyung.

"Thank you.", I mumbled and he nodded.

"We have some gas back at the library. You can have some and be on your way if you want. But may I ask where you are taking refuge?", he asked.

"We stay out of town. A little past the store on the highway.", I answered and his eyes went wide.

"All the way out there? How do you keep them out? It's an open community.", he questioned.

"We built a wall around two houses. It's our little safe haven.", I replied and he nodded in amazement.

"You built your own wall? I'm impressed Leila. You three care to walk with me?", he asked and we nodded before walking with him back to the library.

"Between building your own wall and putting Bobby in his place, I already like you.", Taehyung said.

"He doesn't like the way I run things around here. I can tell he wants me gone.", he added and I nodded.

"Well until the military decides to bomb the place, you're welcome to come back with us.", I joked and he frowned.

"They're not really going to carpet bomb the city are they? There are uninfected people on here.", I shouted, my nerves getting bad as a nervous feeling sunk in the pit of my stomach.

"How do you know this?", Veronica asked.

"I was a military corporal. Equipment still works. But they haven't come to a decision yet. We have time.", Taehyung answered.

"We have to get to the elementary school. The cafeteria should still have food.", I said and they looked at me as if I grew two heads.

"The elementary school?"
