Chapter 34 - Ends Here
“Lookie here.” Emma called to her friend that was on the opposite end of the abandoned grocery store as she crouched down to grab the duffel bag in front of her.

“What’s up?” Bobby asked running over to her.

“This.” She said tossing him a can of chicken noodle soup. “Bag is full of ‘em.”

Bobby handed her the can back as she zipped up the bag and pulled it over her shoulder.“Sweet Jesus that’s alot of grub.” He said with his eyes glued to the bag before laughing to himself.

“What’s so funny?” She asked as they began to walk toward the exit.

“It’s just our luck isn’t it? Finding a bag full of this much food right before we reach a safe-zone instead of, oh I don’t don’t know, all those long months on the road scavenging for scraps...” He said as his voice trailed off.

She turned to see what had stole his attention and froze up after she did. Two women, both brunette and carrying guns walked into the store. Just on the edge of her vision she noticed her friend slowly grab for the gun he had sticking out the back of his pants. As soon as Bobby whipped out his gun the taller of the two women pulled out her bow and arrow.

“Drop it.” The woman with the bow commanded Bobby. “Or this arrow will turn your head into a nice coat rack.”

“You drop yours first.” Bobby responded. “Or this bullet will...uh...it’ll...Just, drop your weapon.”

“Look, we don’t want any trouble.” Emma said keeping her eyes on the two women while placing hand on Bobby’s gun and lowering it. The whole situation was reminding her of run ins they had before with hostile groups of people. She didn’t want things that had happened before to happen again. She wouldn’t let it. Thinking on her feet she knew one thing might get she and Bobby out of there alive. “There’s a safe-zone about a day away from here in Rapid City. We’ll take you there if--”

The shorter brunette spoke up looking a little surprised. “Rapid City? We’re heading there too.”

Knowing that put Emma’s mind at ease a little as well as seemed to relax Bobby and the girl with the bow. “My name’s Emma and this is Bobby.” She said putting on a smile.

“I’m Teresa and she’s Emily.”
