You sit down and just watch, the four of them move about.

Tommie is sitting next to Grace, it is clear she is talking to her. You can't make out anything she is saying but your sure it has to do with maybe something that happen after you left the two of them at the house, or maybe her just trying to get her to relax as a whole. Maybe something Tracy or Ruth might have told her has made her relax more or get a bit more upset as a whole. Your not entirely sure but it is clear that Tommie has gotten uneasy since you left the house with the equipment.

Tracy comes over and sits down next to you and says " We have been talking yes we have, they seem taken with you thou it is expected considering most of the reports on the radio. People even people acting civil with one and other are taking to making groups or packs. Tommie is just a little upset, I was telling her about how my mother and I feel that your important. And she was already a bit upset, with you leaving them to lead my mother and I back to the base leaving them to move the Hummer."

You Shrug and say " I figured the Armored Vehicle was the safest places, and since I also figured your mother and you did not seem like you would hurt me. I still did not want to leave you alone with them."

Tracy just nods and says " I had suspected something like that, I even told Tommie. But she did not seem to want to listen, I think the crazies really did screw her up quite a bit. My mother when we first got back took a moment to look over her, she is fine there is nothing wrong with her so far as she could see. No marks no nothing, even her sexual parts lucky for her has nothing wrong with them. So I mean it is all in her head, and I know it slows down progress and recovery to suggest it but it is true. And Grace, she was only affected by as she says it your moment of heroism that is to say, you saved her and all so it kinda helps her mood a bit to be around you. Some of this is normal affects, anyway enough of this I mean I only did so much studying in college before this all happen and it is not really my job to observe and suggest any of this really."

You shake your head and just say "No it is fine, they will be fine you will be fine your mother and I will also be fine so don't worry about it."

Tracy smiles and says " My mother was once a nurse for a while, she is fully trained she just had to stop doing it after I was born which was not long after she started it. Lucky for her a Doctor, my father had taken to her. And they got married had me and she was happy before all of this happen. It is part of the reason she understands some of the reports, that I just look at her and say. Well that one made no sense, and so on if you can make sense of that."

You just nod and say " Well, it is nice it was so easy to talk her out of the lone gunmen act she had planned to do."

Tracy nods in agreement and says " My mother has been a little upset since we had to put my father down for his actions, and finding Uncle Frank dead from the plague was almost a blessing when you compare the two events. Finding the house had been looted, and that the front door was blasted open but no blood we figured, anyone to survive the instant **** or justice Uncle Frank had set up pretty much earned what he left. As a nurse mother was just worried that the resources would become to limited as a whole if she stayed. But after what we found in the house, and what you said we realized it was not so much a problem. As well, are boat has a few supplies as well. Food and so on, and it is possible that living on the boat might even be better then here because of the build of the boat vs this building thou. It would mean giving up an easy to defend location for a boat that is small, and rocks back and forth quite a bit."

You shake your head and say " I get sea sick easy, I would be pretty much worthless. Also I don't think we could have five people live in a boat, with the amount of resources we have here and would need to take with us. Without accidentally sinking the boat."

Tracy just shakes her head and says " It would take a lot more then that to sink it but, it could be said that the issue of storms and other weather affecting the quality of what life we might have at sea is also true. Thou one would not have to smell the corpses any more."

You think for a second and say " But this office and this area, was closed There are no corpses we don't smell them here."

Tracy just nods as Tommie comes over and gets you to stand up she leads you over to a wall and has you sit down and brace your back against it and then sits down next to you and leans into you. Your pretty sure this might be her way as best she can to say sorry, at least in front of everyone. She takes your arm and puts it over her shoulder and has you hold her. Grace soon after comes and sit on the other side of her and Tracy moves a box closer to your side so it is easier for you to sit easy or at easy well holding her.

You say to all Four of them " As I was saying or was going to say when we came in here, it does not help any of us to disagree or fight about anything. If we disagree we talk about it til it is solved and then forget about it. I mean it is important to share thoughts that are different from the conflicted we have if we don't we might as well die. I mean it is one of the best ways we can keep are selves a live." They all nod in agreement.

Tommie leans into your ear and whispers " Yeah, I was not quite sure why you would want to waste time putting a design or name tag or anything on body armor. So it bothered me that you would consider taking time for it. But Grace explained it was to have or still poke fun that we are still alive. And then I realized you had a point and felt bad about it, when Tracy sat down beside you I was a little upset I had not. So I dragged you over here."

You kiss her cheek and say " It's fine, we are all different we all deal with and act accordingly. I don't expect you to understand everything, that is another good reason there are five us now."

You then say " I have decided since we have enough batteries and equipment to set up some of the camera's and other stuff, to run on motion sensor. And that some of the camera's are night vision or at least thermal I hope I mean if he is going to over kill I hope some of them are. Then we should set them on the roof, and the watch will consist of someone watching the TV. Instead of on the roof, this will allow us to not have to expose are selves as much to the weather to people. I also want to look around the warehouse, This construction company might have left some other useful equipment about. But we should also have the watch shift be two people, This way they don't get bored or tired of watching it they at least have someone talk to." The girls all nod as if it is only natural you suggest this.

Ruth looks over at you and notices that Tracy is not sitting with you but she does not let it upset her, instead she calls over and says " I have made something that might look funny but it will at least taste good. It does not really have a name but it is made with some of this and some of that and it all looks a little brown. Served with a bit of simple bread made from flour and water."

You smile and say " That does sound pretty alright I am guessing some form of protein some form of filler and bread?"

Ruth nods and says " It's the best I could do on short notice, I don't know everything that is back there. I will have to take a closer look and plan a better meal for another time. Thou like most people I am not use to cooking only with dry and canned goods and military rations."

The girls each take a look in the container Ruth cooked the food in and Tommie is the first to say " It looks like shit, I mean it does not smell bad but it looks like shit."

Grace just smirks and says " It don't is not nearly as bad as one of the things we cooked recently, It sure smells a lot better."

Tracy just shakes her head and says " It is more about making something that does not smell so strong and but can be eaten, taste good and not so much about color. I know they say that food is most appetizing when it's full of color but does it really serve us any real function at this time?"

You just nod and agree as you take a few pieces of flat bread, a small bowl and pile in some protein and eat it with your flat bread, and so on. It does not taste half bad, it smells and taste like she used beans and onions for filler. And your not entirely sure what she used for protein but it is bound to be something you brought back so it can't be to bad.
