After a short while of speculation on their part and utter silence from Saul,he finally finished drawing.The map was finally ready and they all stared at it, admiring Saul's penmanship from the names he had marked some spots with.Saul had left out all of the places that they had no idea about, marking them with a large X that also seemed like some pretty cursive depictions.The area for the shopping mall was not centered in particular because they had been unable to figure out the exact location of it but at least they knew the general area around it and were sure that it would be a piece of cake from there.When they got there, they could begin their search for it.Jared finally broke the silence that had first stemmed from their awe of Saul's work and had eventually gone on as they all tried to think of what they might encounter today."When do we leave? At night?",He asked as he looked up at both of their faces.Saul turned towards Jared and scoffed like Jared had said something

After her exchange with Jared,Clay had totally ignored him,Richie and the rest of Richie's team while she and Saul had focused on determining the best and safest route forward while also considering a route that would be advantageous for them as they returned,in case they were being chased when they returned.So,she was pretty surprised when she turned around to find that Richie and his gang had not long since dissapeared,infact they were hanging around and discussing with Jared.Richie's appearance had reminded Clay that there were a lot of players that would be satisfied with robbing other players all the while they were here, completely forgetting the pyramid that came on every morning.It made her even more wary of their journey to the mall,wary of people they might come across and wary of word getting out if they succeeded in procuring food from the mall.It was one of two.Either Richie had decided to ignore Clay's words completely and still follow them around or Jared had given

Everyone understood what they had to do as soon as the roles had been shared and no one had any questions or suggestions.They split immediately Clay was done sharing them, everyone running to their respective duties while Clay ran towards the stairs.She took them in twos , running for the next floors as fast as she could .She was so engrossed in running up the stairs that she almost missed her floor and had to run down an extra flight of stairs to get there.She ran around looking for the shop that had been termed hardware and eventually got it, taking a second to understand the door before she was running in.The first thing her eyes landed on were black trash bags, perfect.She grabbed one and tore the seal off with her teeth as she opened it while running around the store, looking for where to start from.She finally found a shelf that had things she wanted or rather things that were needed, she grabbed flashlight batteries and several little bottles of menthylated spirit,thy wo

Clay had no idea which way to go or rather which way she would have gone.She thought and thought of where she could have gone in search of them but nothing was coming to mind.All she could think of was all the terrible things that could happen to her while she was alone and how she was even injured.Lords,why had she not at least written a message.She knew there was no point in blaming herself.It was a waste of time and effort and she should be focusing on finding her first.She knew all of this but still,all she could think of was how it was her fault.She could not think of anywhere that she might have gone off to so she ran to all the places they had been to together, hoping that she would find her in one also searching for her.She would have probably suspected that Clay and the others would not go to any new places so she might have checked out all of the old places that they had all been to together.She checked around the church's block and all of the places that they had e

It took them a while to completely navigate the woods, quite the longest time they had spent in the woods since they had begun to move around it.Actually, it was more than a while but they did get the hang of it later on and were soon out of the woods and on their way to the church, utterly thirty and tired.When they arrived at the church about an hour later, Saul and Jared were waiting outside for them,this was new and unexpected.They were seated on the stairs and talking to each other about something that seemed to be quite animated and engrossing as they had not noticed Clay and June walking up to them even though they were not even trying to be stealthy.Clay shook her head as she thought of what might have happened if it was some other people walking up to them instead.They turned around when they finally heard their footsteps from behind them and watched them walk a while before they moved.Saul jumped up the stairs in a way that made Clay suddenly curious of his age,he walk
