Chapter 22 – For The Ones We Care For
November 4, 2014. “Keep moving.” The man pointing a gun at David's back said to him.

The men they had ran into at the pitstop had held them up and were now walking them back to their camp. David's mind was running, trying to think of a way for both him and Teresa to get away alive, but these guys had taken David's backpack and both of their gums. All that he had left was an extra clip that he had managed to keep hidden in his jacket pocket.

“Why are you doing this?” Teresa asked as they moved around a car.

“Nothing personal darlin',” The man pointing a gun at her said. “jus' a job.”

“A job?”

“Yeah, we ran into a few guys awhile ago who said they were searching for a couple of people traveling in a group,” The other guy said. “They said they would give us enough food to keep us fed for a few months if we found y'all.”

“How do you know they were talking about us.” David asked as he slowly reached into his jacket pocket.

He began to search for anything that he could leave behind as a trail for when the rest of the group inevitably came to look for them. His hand found that bracelet thing that Teresa and Chris made him way back when they were still at the hotel and pulled it out. He shot Teresa a glance and tried to guide her eyes down to his hand with his eyes. She saw it and immediately pulled out hers. As the men began to lead them toward a nearby city, David dropped the bracelet to the ground alongside Teresa.

“The description that guy...what's his name...Oh right, Ben Dover!” The man said with a laugh causing the other to laugh as well. “Ha, ha...Ben Dover...anyways the description he gave of you two was pretty spot on. He also said that they needed some boy and some teen girl.”

“Chris and Emily.” The guy behind Teresa said.

As soon as they said Chris and Emily's names David's breath halted. He could wrap his head around Ben telling the bandits everyone in their groups names but he never even met Emily. So how did they even know her name? But he pushed those thoughts away, for a little bit at least. Right now he had to focus on a way out.

“Right, right, Chris and Emily. Anyway, we figured we'd bring you two back and at least get some kind of reward.”

He reached into his pocket again as they got nearer the city for something else he could drop. His hand found and began to empty the bullets from the clip into his hand. He then began to drop bullet after bullet every few yards or so, hoping that someone from the group would find the trail.

“I know one thing's for sure, the others are gonna be real happy we're bringing a girl back to the hideout.” One of the bandits said with a laugh inciting a worried glance from Teresa to David.
