The Westbrook Games The timing
Saul threw the church doors open wider as soon as he saw Clay approach with an unconscious June in her arms.Clay hurried up the stairs, through the door and into the church to Jared's surprise when he turned around , he had walked into the church first and had not noticed what was going on behind him.He rushed up after them, his sack never leaving his grasp as he led the way towards Clay's room, clearing the path for them as they ran.Other than the fact that June was unconscious,he still could not wrap his head around the fact that Clay was carrying June, especially when she was the same size as June,just a tad bit taller.Clay had a slight issue climbing the stairs up the altar but it was quickly remedied when Saul gave her a shove from behind that had her going up the stairs fast as lightening.Jared had gone ahead of them and had the door pushed open already so Clay carried her through and gently placed her on the bed.She touched her forehead immediately she had lain her down,
The Westbrook Games The push!
They were all looking at Clay weirdly now and Clay did not know why.No,she did know why but she did not think that it deserved such attention,she shrugged and rolled her eyes, turning to Saul,she grimaced as soon as she did so, wishing she had never done so. Saul still continued to gorge himself on chocolate as he watched everything unfold.Jared suddenly grabbed Clay's hands, causing Clay to turn to him involuntarily as he was practically dragging her.Clay begrudgingly did, only to find Jared's eyebrows dancing on his face,a mischievous look about his face."What is your problem? Do you have face paralysis or something?",She asked, groaning as she wondered what the issue was now.Jared only chuckled as he continued his stupidity, he eventually cleared his throat slowly when he realized that Clay had no idea of what he was doing,or may be she was just a really good pretender."Ahahah,We all heard your confession loud and clear, there is no denial now",he told her, acting like they
The Westbrook Games Hands where?
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
The Westbrook Games The responsibility game
Clay kept them on pause for a while longer, wondering if she could still use the catchphrase that she had always wanted to use while also pondering that every moment she spent wondering , it was getting too late to use the catchphrase , she was in a royal bind that kept getting even more confusing with every passing moment."Uhm, are you not going to ask us to turn around slowly?", Someone finally asked from amongst them, interrupting Clay's personal struggle.She frowned at them, observing them.The one in the middle was obviously the one that had spoken without being asked to speak.He was wearing a hat and fatigues that obviously did not belong to him because they stopped far above his ankle and making him lift his hands up was making the discrepancy very obvious.Clay could not believe the audacity of the man.Well,on some levels she could understand it.He was in a survival game and he had already suffered so much that he had lost his clothes,there was really no reason for him to
The Westbrook Games The convertible way
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
The Westbrook Games The distraction
Once Saul had also returned from his peek through the convertible,Clay had expanded the peeking,she wanted everyone to see what they were up against.Clay had beckoned for Jared and the others to also come closer and they had all taken turns to peek through the convertible at the autobot display beyond the stack of cars.Tara, the last person had finally finished looking through the convertible at what was waiting for them and returned when they began to discuss."Okay , this is a little more intense than we anticipated",Richie commented, sounding like he was a few seconds away from running off.Clay looked over to Richie and smiled cynically,her teeth on display for too long.Wondering how long it would take him to run off."No shit, Sherlock",She told him.Richie only frowned at the deliberate aggressive answers and turned to talk to his people about the situation while Clay also did the same and beckoned on her teammates so that they could also have a conversation to come up with a
The Westbrook Games The ride through fire
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
The Westbrook Games Lost
For the duration of their walk back to the church,no one had spoken to Clay.They had spoken amongst themselves for the longest times but they had not spoken to Clay and she had been gkzdrkThey were almost at the church when Richie stopped the party.He wanted them to split the spoils so they could be on their way and would not have to walk all the back since they were headed in the opposite direction.Actually, he was only scared that if they continued to move forward, they might encounter more people and the others might agree to split the spoils with the new people as well, and he would not be able to disagree because he had not really played a significant role in procuring it and would have no say."Hey, I think we have gone far enough now, let us split what we got and go our separate ways",he suggested.Clay looked at him and all she could think of was that this meant that Richie did not stay very far away from the church.Clay yelped softly when two strangers , a male and femal
