Divide and get shit done

Even if everyone doesn't agree with you completely the rest of the tasks do need doing. "So how we splitting things Michael?" Heather asks.

"I have an idea." Your mom interjects as she stands up. She takes a few strides away from the couches and turns around to view the group clearly. "I don't remember yesterday fully but with the short interactions I've seen, I believe I have the best solution to our jobs."

"Oh honey, you've been missing this since you left work. Haven't you?" Your dad teases. "She used to be a manager at a financial firm at the place we used to live. A very good one, might I add."

"Thanks dear." She coos. "Listen up sweethearts. Today we're gonna work the shit out of these tasks and get everything done by tonight. We're all going to work together as a well oiled machine so lets divide and get shit done, m'kay!" She keeps a calm and gentle voice throughout.

"That's so weird." Sam mutters.

"Chin up firecracker. Your on personal equipment, weapons and armour." Your mom shoots her a wide grin.

"What did you call her? Firecracker... I like it!" Charlie puts his thumb up with a wink. "Lets hear some more Mrs Knight."

"Big arms you're on house duty. Tighten this place up like a nun's chastity belt m'kay!" He grins at her response causing Heather to shake her head slowly. "Sweet cheeks, your with my man on the cars. My man so keep your hands to yourself you hear!" Despite the words she keeps the same tone.

"Mom can you please just tell us normally." You plead.

"No way mister take charge! Gotta get everyone's spirits up, we've got a long day ahead. And speaking of which you and my gorgeous soldier can join big arms with the house."

"Sure thing mom." You and Bella sigh together.

"Now for the mute... We need you to gather everything and make a list of what we've got and then use any spare containers or bottles to fill up with water. Gotta make sure we don't run out. School girl, you can help her with all the locations and carrying stuff m'kay sweety." You all sit in a moment of stunned silence. What the hell mom? "Chop chop, come on now. Off to work with you all. Firecracker you're with me."

"Uh. My name's Sam." She pouts.

"Nah, firecracker is definitely better." Charlie shoots her a wink which she scoffs away from him and leaves following your mom.

"Follow me sweet cheeks. I'm Rick, sorry I didn't catch your name earlier." Your dad leads Heather away.

"Yay girl time!" Lucy jumps up from her seat. "We're gonna have so much fun I just know it. I'm Lucy by the way although I'm sure you know it. You're Hina right? Come on we'll start with the food. No a place to put it all. Maybe a list..." A **** Hina trails behind with her head slightly lowered.

Just three of your remain in the room. "Securing the house. Hmm... There's not a lot we can do really." You mutter to yourself.

"There's a lot of wood still in the shed plus some scrap metal, I suggest we use a mix of it and cover all the lower windows to start with." Bella offers as she stretches her arms and legs. "And you two need some shoes on."

Bella heads outside to check how much materials you have while you take Charlie to grab a pair of shoes. Pretty quickly he manages to fit into a pair of black trainers you used to wear. You take a pair of brown walking boots and lead Charlie to the outside shed.
