The Leftover Crack


"Joe." He shook her hand and nodded with a smile. "Welcome to Manhattan. Where would you like to start our tour?" He gestured towards town gates.

There were too many people around for a conversation, so Charlie motioned towards her lean to with her head. She turned and started walking, hoping Clint had gotten the message. And that the new girl hadn't.
"I'll catch up with you in a bit, Doc." His smile was starting to feel sore as he followed Charlie. It's weird, he'd never really had to force a smile before. "I've got a feeling she's going to be a good bit of trouble for us." He said once they got to her lean-to.

"To be honest, I kinda wish we hadn't let her in." Charlie winced when she realized how heartless that sounded. But then she shook her head and continued. "Did you see how she turned off that helpless act? Doesn't feel right."
"She's a kid. She can be influenced." Clint sighed, then smirked slightly. "At least we can take solace in the fact that Joe's with her. If she's here for something illegitimate, he'd be annoying her so much that she couldn't do anything." He smiled. "But if she keeps hitting on you, I'd be much more fond of kicking her out."
Just as Toni and Sally were entering the colony, a few guards stopped him. "Whats the problem?" He asked, a look of concern and shame was on their faces. They informed him that three of the teenagers had snuck out during the early morning, and had not returned. The reason they knew so late was because the certain teens had no job to do so no real reason to leave thir cabin and be noticed. Toni sighed and called to several of his men to get crossbows ready and prepare to organize searcg parties. He looked back to Sally and sighed as he began making his way to the weapons shed. "These kids, even after the world goes boom, they never change."

Sally looked at the soldiers as they explained what happened, shaking her head a bit. She followed Toni over to the weapon shed, nodding. "Yeah but I guess it's sometimes too much, being cooped up in one place. They probably just needed a chance to go out and experience things outside the colony. But I'm sure we'll find them." she said with a small smile.
Toni sighed as they entered the weapons room. He grabbed a crossbow for himself and handed one to Sally. "Either way, they know how dangerous it is out there. They could get killed." He said as they left, heading towards the gate. The sun was still hanging in the sky but they still would be cutting it close depending on where the teens went. "Plus nobody has a clue where they went." Just then one of the parents of one of the missing teens ran up to Toni, holding what looked like a journal. "I went through this, and she wrote about you guys returning from Saratoga Springs and how there were people there. I think they went to Saratoga..." Toni nodded and looked back to Sally. They both knew that would not be good. Once outside, not only the van but another pickup were waiting outside, ready to head out and search for the teens.

Charlie raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Clint... are you jealous?" She had to laugh at that. "At ease, commander. She's not my type." She smiled. "I prefer more of the leader-type."

Dr. Mitch Schwartz


Mitch watched as everything transpired and his worry grew more and more. He was so lost in his thoughts that he forgot Mai was standing right next to him and he hadn't informed Clint of her. Mitch then tapped Clint on the shoulder and waited for him to turn to him. He then pointed to Mai, "This girl wandered into my campsite last night. Her name is Mai, and it seems she is a wanderer. I just wanted to inform you that she will be joining me for the time being, so that you don't get suspicious about the sudden appearance of a stranger in my campsite.

Charlie watched the doctor walk up, listening in silence. "Another wanderer?" She muttered. "What are we, a halfway house?" She was feeling extremely uneasy about all the new peopel coming in.

Mai-Lee Ling M.

"My name is Mai-Lee." she corrected Mitch with a soft smile but then turned a warning gaze to the girl that spoke. "Well Miss If you don't got anything nice to say I'd prefer if you'd keep your mouth shut." She said and took the girls comment as an insult.

Charlie met the girl's gaze evenly. "And I'd prefer not to have several strangers coming in at once, but I'm not getting my way either." This was making her more and more uneasy. The last thing they needed was a bunch of refugees streaming in when they could be on the brink of war.

Sally took the crossbow, nodding. She was all seriousness now that she had heard of the new details with the teens. She followed Toni to the van. "I can't believe that for teenagers they would be that foolish.." she said.
"Alright, guys, calm down." Clint decided to break this one up before anyone did something foolish. He turned to Mitch and Mai-Lee. "Is it possible for her to stay at your camp until we are sure we can house more people? I don't mean to be rude, but war is a definite possibility and we've got to find out how we're going to handle that."
