4 Chapter 3

It was kind of interesting that Travis still managed to convince Madison to run for the hills, also slightly amusing that they were turned around by a military humvee like 2 minutes later. Most likely because they took so long to leave because Alicia adamantly refused to step foot outside the house since I wasn't going with them.

I may have had an amused look on my face when Travis got out of the car looking both disgruntled and relieved that the military was here but he was wrong about leaving and my face may have had a slightly smug look on it. "Welcome back!" I tell them in a cheery voice. Yup that's a look of disgruntlement but Alicia looked more than happy to be back at least.

For some reason I never really liked Travis in the TV show, he always seemed to have a holier than though attitude but always goes off the rails himself, 99% of the time simply making the wrong decisions.

—————————————————

The military came in and took over swiftly, took down peoples names and information and set up a fence perimeter around the neighborhood. After that they pretty much just set a curfew and patrol every now and again and fucked off for the most part. Though they did bring supplies and limited medicine.

Most of my time was for the most part spent going through abandoned houses and gathering supplies unlike what they did in canon, they went to the richer part of the area but never actually gathered anything. I did use this time to get to know Alicia a little bit better and she did help me gather some things as well even though all we could do was use our duffel bags or backpacks as nobody was allowed to drive within the neighborhood.

I had decided that for now I would load my motorcycle in the back of my truck as my bike simply couldn't hold enough to matter for the long term. Ofelia also helped on occasion simply because she was bored with nothing else to do, that also made things faster.

I may have also scavenged a shit ton of wine and other alcohol besides the food as some of the houses had some nice bars inside in the nicer part of the neighborhood.

Some of the crown jewels of our finds were one .38 special with a box of ammo for it, and in one of the nicer houses there was a pair of custom 1911 pistols with mother of pearl grip in .45 ACP contained within a lovely cherry wood box, there was only a small baggy worth of ammunition laying beside the box but the magazines for the guns were already loaded along with a spare magazine for each, also loaded so I couldn't really complain.

The last thing of interest in the weapons department besides a few basic hunting knifes was a beautiful marlin 1895 .338 hunting rifle. That was a big yank, I was also happy that it had a few boxes of ammo as well. I'm not really a big fan of lever or bolt action as I prefer magazine fed rifles but beggars can't be choosers and besides, it was a beautiful weapon, I would take it simply to have it if nothing else.

I did eventually manage to convince Alicia to take some of the nicer clothes that she obviously liked even if she never wore them, also since she knew about my boat she was less reserved about what we took as she knew there was room for it at least, if they went that route anyways.

Over all we probably made 20 or more trips over the first week or so of being on lockdown. It honestly surprised me how little people had looted anything in the neighborhood so far but then again it seemed like only Nick and later Chris and Alicia ever went into other homes in the tv show.

———————————————————

As we are going through a house, Just Alicia and myself, we are basically just rummaging through things bored and drinking glasses of wine as we literally have nothing else to do at the moment. "So where do you see everything in a few years?" She asked in a slightly buzzed voice.

I already know what would happen but I'm going to feel like shit to ruin the last of her hopes of a normal world but I also can't lie to her either. "I'm not really sure what will be left in a few years but with the dead coming back to life no matter how they die, nothing will ever truly go back to the way it was before. I would be surprised if the world population isn't already down by anywhere from 30-50 percent." I tell her in a sad voice and I can see her biting her lips trying to hold back a tear.

I always have to remind myself that she is not yet the strong woman she would turn into in a year or two even if you could see glimpses of it from time to time.

With that conversation done, Alicia foregoes the glass and simply drinks from the bottle before passing it to me, it seems today we are getting hammered.

——————————————

Well shit! How much did we drink yesterday? It's still early morning, 5am and my head is slightly pounding.

With that I remove the sheets and freeze. I'm not the only person one in the bed right now.

Slowly as I look at Alicia and Ofelia's naked bodies my memories of what happened yesterday begin to return. Holy shit I pounded Alicia and Ofelia at the same time!

I'm still trying to remember when Ofelia even got there and I kinda remember her joining us after we finished our first bottle of wine and were already starting on something stronger.

My mind kinda blanks when I see both of their naked forms again but I quickly get ahold of myself and get outta bed. I go to my bag and and chug a bottle of water and a few ibuprofen and bring three bottles and the pills back with me for them for when they wake up and then I go back to sleep. Whatever will happen will happen.

——————————————————-

I woke up to a groaning Alicia beside me to my left. Yup her head is definitely pounding. "Hey sleepyhead" I say in a low voice and she just tells me to not talk so loudly even though I whispered anyways. "Drink that water beside you and maybe a few ibuprofen." Thankfully I already twisted the cap for her so she didn't have to struggle for anything as her water bottle quickly began to be emptied.

"Did we do what I think we did last night and why do I feel like something is missing? I just look to the still sleeping form to my right and her eyes track mine and she groans louder. "Oh! Well I guess that did happen after all." She mumbles almost to herself.

"You ok Lisha? We were all kinda wasted yesterday and all that." I kinda hope she doesn't freak out too much, more about Ofelia than just us having sex as I doubt she regrets that part of the day. I hope anyways.

After she was done with her bottle and popping a few pills she laid back down and just cuddled close, closing her eyes. "Don't over think things too much, let just live in the moment." She murmured lightly and went back to sleep as I just laid there, eventually I dozed again.
