The four of us walked back to the St John Dairy in silence.

"Man, that was a hell of a ride, huh?" Danny said.

"Jesus Danny" Lee said as he threw his rifle to Danny.

"What? You're not gettin' soft on 'em are ya?" Danny asked as he caught the gun, "Not after what they did to your friend"

After Danny said that, Brenda had walked out of the house and saw the four of us.

"Oh, you're back!" Brenda said happily, "What happened?"

"Handled it, mama," Danny said as he walked away.

Lee walked up to Brenda who sat down, while I just leaned against the picket fence and listened in to their conversation and Kenny just walked off.

"This isn't what Terry would've wanted..." Brenda said.

"Who's Terry?" Lee asked.

"My husband. Miss him every day..." Brenda said in a sombre tone.

All of a sudden, the conversation they were having was interrupted by Lily and Kenny arguing.

'And he just got back... what the hell did he do in the... what? Thirty fucking seconds he's been here?' I thought as I listened in to their conversation.

"Then screw it up for everybody then, why don't you!?" Lily said angrily to Kenny.

"Oh calm down, princess. I'll do it myself" Kenny said as he walked off.

Lily just looked at him, furious before walking back to where Larry was.

"What's going on with them?" Lee asked.

"Dunno. Squabblin' looks like. A lotta tension with Y'all, huh?" Brenda said.

"They have different ideas on how they should run our group, if we don't find any common ground, this whole thing's gonna fall apart," Lee said.

"Nah, it's just tough times. Everyone's hungry and people get a little stir crazy when their tummy's empty" Brenda said.

Lee just looked down and shook his head.

"And Lee, don't worry your head about them, bandits. I'm sorry you've seen more violence than I'da thought in your short time, but Y'all are safe here. Don't worry" Brenda said reassuringly.

"I think I'm gonna go have a look around," Lee said as he began walking off, but was stopped by Brenda.

"Don't wander too far. Dinner will be ready before you know it" Brenda said with a smile on her face, "And thank your friend Katjaa again for me. She and the kids are in the barn with the cow. That woman is a life saver!"

"I'll do that," Lee said as he walked off, walking past me.

'Yeah... I'm just going to assume they've already taken Mark's legs off by now... just a little longer and these fucking bastards will get their just deserts!' I thought as I clenched my hand into a fist and walked around aimlessly, wondering what there is that I could do to potentially fuck over the St John's before they take us captive.
