About five seconds go by and DK doesn’t answer me over the walkie-talkie.
“You don’t need to worry for now,” says DK over the walkie-talkie.
“Why did you attack the Haven?” I ask into my walkie-talkie.
“I didn’t attack the Haven,” answers DK over the walkie-talkie.
“Well, the Conquerors did. I saw the bullet holes in the walls and the wounded Haven residents from the attack,” I reply into my walkie-talkie.
DK doesn’t reply over the walkie-talkie.
“I figured the agreement with Jacob is done, but I need to know if we need to worry about being attacked here,” I say into my walkie-talkie.
“I’ll be in touch,” replies DK over the walkie-talkie and then I hear DK’s walkie-talkie turn off.
“What does that mean?” I shout into my walkie-talkie.
There is no answer from DK over the walkie-talkie and I shout, “What a fucking lunatic! With his bullshit cryptic replies!” I then toss the walkie-talkie onto Bobby G’s kitchen counter.
Someone knocks on Bobby G’s front door.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
“Come in!” I shout.
Bobby G’s front door opens, and I hear the person enter Bobby G’s house along with the sound of small footsteps tapping on the tile floor.
I look towards the front door and I see Matt and Chewie.
Chewie runs over to me and I pet him on his head.
“Everything okay in here?” asks Matt as he walks into Bobby G’s kitchen.
“Yeah, what’s up?” I answer Matt.
“I heard you yelling as I was walking Chewie,” replies Matt.
“I just talked with DK and he did his usual cryptic creepy thing over the walkie,” I say to Matt.
“What did he say?” asks Matt.
Chewie sits down on the tile floor.
“Not much, but that he would be in touch and he didn’t attack the Haven,” I answer Matt.
“Do you believe him?” asks Matt.
I think about Matt’s question and then I answer, “Yeah, he’s weird and he has a creepy voice, but I think he tells the truth. Even if it’s too direct at times,” I answer Matt.
“Well, that’s important. You have to know what you are getting with people. And trust is pretty important,” replies Matt.
“Is everything okay? How’s your mom and Kylie?” I ask Matt.
“I was actually going to see if you and a group wanted to go back to the Haven for Kylie to get checked out by Dani,” answers Matt.
“She was just checked by Dani. Is everything okay?” I reply to Matt.
“I think so, but she’s been having these weird pains at times. She says it’s nothing, but I’ve read that baby book like three times now and I just want to make sure it’s nothing,” replies Matt.
“Yeah, see if anyone wants to go with you tomorrow,” I say to Matt.
Matt, Chewie, and I exit Bobby G’s house.
“Should we be worried about Jacob and DK?” asks Matt as I stand with him in Bobby G’s driveway.
“I think we have to be ready for anything, and I think it’s only a matter of time until Jacob and his group come here,” I answer Matt.
“Are we ready to fight them?” asks Matt.
“I’m not sure, but we will be,” I answer Matt.
I say goodbye to Matt and Matt walks towards the main entrance of Citrus Oaks with Chewie.
I look at the Armory house and decide to go check it out.
I enter the Armory house and check over our weapons and supplies inside the Armory house.
It’s still so weird to me to be walking around one of my neighbor’s homes, that I never really met before, and no one lives here now.
I see a variety of guns, gear, bullets, and knives, along with the usual stuff you’d find in a house like sofas, chairs, a dining room table, and that room that no one uses.
I see a shotgun and it looks to be one of the shotguns that I got for the guys for our guys trip to Tennessee.
I think to myself, “Why did I think it was a good idea to get the guys, let alone a police officer, shotguns?”
I grab the shotgun off the rack, and I think about the trip where all this zombie stuff started for us.
I remember that morning when I went for the run and seeing those two zombies biting that hunter.
“What is really going on with all these zombies? How did they start? How will they end? Will they end?” I ask myself.
As I stand with the shotgun in my hands, the Armory house front door opens, and two people enter.
Out of instinct I aim the shotgun at the two people that entered the Armory house and it’s Brody and another entrance guard.
“Don’t shoot,” says Brody to me.
I quickly lower the shotgun and reply, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to aim it at you guys.”
“What are you doing in here sir?” asks Brody to me.
“I was just checking out our weapons,” I answer Brody as I put the shotgun on the rack where I found it.
“What are you fellas doing in here?” I ask Brody.
“I was going to get a bow and some arrows for a bet of ours,” answers Brody.
“What’s the bet?” I ask Brody as I look at him and the other entrance guard.
“We are doing headshots with arrows on the dead. Most headshots wins,” answers Brody.
I hand Brody a bow and a quiver that is filled with arrows.
“Thank you sir,” says Brody.
I exit the Armory house with Brody and the entrance guard and then I lock the Armory house front door.
“Are there even enough dead around the walls for your bet?” I ask as I walk with Brody and the entrance guard away from the Armory house.
I stop in the driveway of the Armory house and Brody answers, “Yeah, actually. There
