Colby shredded the note with his hands in anger. He then shoved the necklace in his pocket and furiously stomped his way to the door.
He barged through the door and shouted, "Alex!" Alex ran over with Will to see what the commotion was about.
"Colby! Is everything okay?" Alex asked.
"No! Everything is not okay! She stole and ran off!" Colby yelled.
"Wait! Who stole from us? What the hell are you talking about?!!" Alex was confused.
"Darla, that's who!!!" Colby exclaimed.
"Wait wait!! What?!" Will asked.
"She took one of our backpacks and a shotgun and ran off!" Colby explained.
"Are you serious?! She stole from us?!!" Will started getting pissed.
"Yeah!" Colby yelled.
"We keep her safe and this is how she repays us?! It'd be one thing if she just ran away but she really took some of our shit?!" Will ranted.
"We should go after her!" Jake chimed in.
"Jake, stay out of this!" Alex shouted.
"Sorry. I'm trying to help." Jake backed away.
"Jake's right. I will not stand for this bullshit! Then she leaves a note saying 'sorry gotta go'!" Colby kept yelling.
"What are we going to do when we find her?!" Alex asked Colby.
"We take back what she stole!! What do you think we'll do?!" Colby said.
"Who knows where she is right now! Or where she's going! We should just continue our original plan of finding a place to stay!" Alex spoke his mind.
"No! That's stupid! We're going after her! I'll go ask the others!!" Colby pushed Alex aside and walked into the kitchen where everyone else was.
"What's happening?" Olivia asked.
"Darla left! For good!!" Colby told them.
"What? She did?" Emily said.
"Yeah. She also took a backpack and a shotgun." Colby explained.
"Why would she do that?" Grace asked.
"I don't know. I thought we could trust her. Guess not. We're going after her!!" Colby grabbed a pistol that was placed on the table.
"Whoa whoa, are you insane?!" Jaden grabbed a pistol as well.
"Yeah. Maybe I am." Colby walked back into the front room and went to walk out the door when Alex grabbed him. Colby smacked away Alex's arm. "I'm going!" Colby yelled.
"No you're not." Alex locked the door.
"Why won't you just let us get our shit back?!" Colby pleaded with Alex to let him go find Darla.
"You'll get yourself hurt or killed. We can't afford to lose anyone else. The group has already suffered too many losses. We won't lose you." Alex pulled Colby back.
"So we just let her go?!" Colby didn't like that.
"Yeah, we let her go. If she comes back, we'll gladly take what's ours and send her on her way." Alex decided.
"Fine. That seems like a reasonable enough plan. Hopefully she comes soon. Or I will leave and find her myself." Colby sat down on the couch in the front room.
"Good thing he actually agrees on something. Keep an eye out for him." Will said to Alex. Alex nodded. Alex walked back into the kitchen where the rest of the group mostly was. Jaden, Grace and Olivia were in the living room, on the couch. In the kitchen was Fin, Emily, Lauren, Jake, Charlotte, Liam and now Alex.
