The day had been long and tiring for the twenty-- forty mutants that had been sent out today to find supplies. Before the sun had set over the horizon, the mutants returned to EdgePort where the guards waited patiently for them. There were a few Walkers hanging around the entrance but it was nothing the mutants couldn't handle.

The North Group carried a large chest with many other items being brought in. West Group came with a decent amount of objects, and Leo jogged up to greet them. "Everyone okay?" He asked Osa.

"Yeah," She told him. "Did anything while we were gone?"

Leonardo lowered his chin to his chest for a second before looking back up, thinking back to what happened just two hours earlier. He was not very thrilled.

While I was occupied training people in the park, my name had been called by April. By the sound of her voice, she didn't sound very happy. "Leo!"

I turned around. "April," I said to her.

"What are you doing?!" She yelled. Damn... April is actually yelling at me. "My people bowed down to you? Are you serious?"

"As a heart attack," I told her, crossing my arms. "These people and mutants need some kind of encouragement. We cannot let Sam walk on us anymore."

April scoffed. "Fine. Whatever."

Since I've been here, not once did I see April take the initiative. All I have seen her do is cower for a long time, forcing two of my friends to work, and heard that she drank herself to sleep. She's just giving Sam what he wants while she hides behind an imaginary leg. These people here are going to die because of her actions and pathetic mind games... I tried talking to April--the understanding woman who used to be a good listener and trusted me with anything, no matter what it was. I felt that April wasn't wanting to take an understanding of this. "Lead with me." I say quietly.

She says nothing.

Leo shrugged at Osa, dusting that conversation from his shoulder and speaking to Osa. "Not much." He answered, believing that it was not relevant to Osa. At least not right now. "What did you find?"

"Something that'll help us out so much!" She chuckled, getting Leo excited, too. "We can't show it here. Let's go inside." Osita answered.

When the gates welcomed back the groups, Mikey reunited with Shado and her dog. Whoever else was involved with the groups, they were brought together with their friends and family in the community.

Osa guided Leo back to the same building where they had that meeting earlier today. Then, she had her North Group bring the heavy-duty chest inside and revealed the surprise. The second the chest was opened, Leo's eyes lit up when he set his vision on them. "Guys... you found guns?" What Leo didn't really notice is that West Group hardly found any supplies-- just food and minor items. North Group got tools, food, toiletries, and guns. But all the supplies together weren't enough in Leo's eyes. He needed more of it. "Guys, this isn't enough."

Osa tilted her head. "What? Leo, this is all we could find today."

Leo sighed and clenched his fist. "This supply haul isn't enough!" He slammed the nearest table. He turned his attention to Osa. "You were supposed to use your senses! Not your guessing games!" He got closer.

Donnie held out his hand in front of Osa to shield her from his brother. "Leo, just calm down, alright?"

"Calm down?! Sam can return whenever he feels like it and this isn't enough for a dirty group of three!" He ranted.
