Carl's POV
"We're not far from Hillsboro. We'll be there in about fifteen minutes." Damian said through the window.
"If they aren't there then where are we gonna go next. Those bastards killed my wife and daughter, I plan on making them suffer." Brandon said as he stared at the floor.
"They killed my girlfriend." Akio said.
"My sister and her son." Cindy said.
"My brother." Ayumi mumbled.
"My boyfriend and his father." Landon said.
"My son and his wife. And their three month old daughter." Alex said.
"We all lost people. And we'll make this group pay for that, but for now we need to stay focused on finding them. I'm not saying forget about them, definitely don't do that, I'm saying put that to the side for now." I said quietly.
"You're right. We have to find them before we can do anything." Brandon said.
Everyone nodded and we stayed silent until the truck stopped.
"We're here." Damian said.
Everyone got out of the vehicle and got ready for what we were about to do.
"We should split up, cover more of the town. There's twelve of us, that's six groups of two. We can cover a lot more ground if we do that." I said as I looked at everyone.
"If they're here, then splitting up could be very bad. They'd be able to pick us off one by one. We should stick together." Damian said.
"I agree with Carl. We should split up." Brandon said.
"Maybe we should take a quick vote to decide." Landon said.
"All in favor of splitting up, say I." Carol said instantly before anyone else could speak.
Ethan, Tony, Carol, Brandon, Landon, Akio, Alex and I all said "I" as the rest looked around uncertainly.
"That's eight. Majority wins. We're splitting up." I said as I pulled Cain and Ethan to he side.
"What's wrong?" Ethan asked.
"I don't know what's up with Damian, but something is off about him, has been since I saw him after the attack. I'm going to go with him so I can keep an eye on him. You two stick together like glue. Keep each other safe." I answered as quietly as I could so that the others wouldn't hear.
Ethan glanced over at Damian and watched as he loaded his shotgun.
"What if you're right? Something is wrong, what's gonna happen to you?" He asked.
"I'll deal with it. I can handle myself, I promise nothing will happen to me." I responded.
I'm not so sure about that... but it's the best I can come up with.
"I really don't like this. But if you think it's the best choice I'm not gonna argue. Stay safe." Ethan said before giving me a kiss.
