The Wasteland- Chapters 26-31

         



Chapter 26

Terry is sitting on the couch in Sally’s living room he is smoking a cigarette, and Alice is sitting at a table in the coroner of the room still angry about their pervious conversation. Terry stands up and walks over to Sally’s fireplace and looks at the pictures. Most of the pictures are of Sally and her husband. The front door then opens and Sally walks in. Sally walks into the living room and immediately falls on to the couch.

“Got an extra cigarette? She asks looking at the one he is smoking. He hands her one and lights it for her. “I want to thank you for helping Alice get here.”

“Yeah well it was either help her or she would have died trying to get here on her own.” Terry said.

“Either way I appreciate it. So how long are you going to stay here?” She asked.

“Just a few day. I have a few things to do outside of here.” He said.

“Well, you can stay at my house till you leave.” Sally said.

“I am leaving with Terry.” Alice said.

“What?! But you just got here.” Sally said confused.

“You’re not coming with me!” Terry yelled.

“Yes I am! I told you I was going to help and I don’t break fucking promises!” Alice screamed.

“Damn it Alice, it’s too dangerous! You need to stay here where it’s safe!” Terry yells.

“How many times did I save your fucking ass? I am some helpless girl I can take care of myself!” She stands up and flips the chair over.

“Do you really think you would’ve made it here by yourself? You wouldn’t have!” Yelled Terry.

“I am coming with no matter what say!” She yelled.

“Alice, what was the point of coming here if you are just going to leave?” Sally asks. “I thought you came here so we can finally be together?”

“So now you care about me? Fuck both of you!” She then leaves the building slamming the door as she leaves.

“What was that all about?” Sally asks confused about what had happened. 

“I am not sure but she will calm down eventually.’ Terry reassures her.

“I hope so. Well I need to go to bed. Can you stay up till see comes back in?” Sally asks.

“Yeah I can.” Terry said.

Sally puts her cigarette out and slowly walks up the stairs to her room. Terry knew she was going to be upset but he wasn’t expecting her to be this angry. With how upset she became Terry has decided that he will have to leave tonight while she is asleep, he won’t feel as bad now since he had told her he was going to leave. The only thing he worries about now is that she will try and follow him when she finds out.

Terry does admit that Alice is strong, she saved him multiple times but if she tried to survive in the Wasteland on her own she wouldn’t be able to make it. The longest he think she would survive is about a week.

Later that night Terry wakes up and sees that Alice is finally asleep. This is his opportunity to leave. Terry picks his backup up and slowly walks to the front door, he opens it and steps outside before he closes the door all the way he takes one final look at Alice and realizes that this will be the last time he will ever see her. He closes the door

Terry opens the door to the car and places his stuff in the passenger seat. “Thought you could leave without me?” Terry turns around and sees Alice with her gear.

Sighs,” Alice just go back inside.”

“No, I either come with you or you stay here.” She said.

“You know I can’t stay.” Said Terry. I have to go back and kill Mayor Jordan.

“Just forget about him! Why risk your life over something like this?!” Alice yells.

“I can’t just forget about someone who killed my father! I have to do this!” He yelled.

“You stay or I am coming with you.” She tells him.

“Why can’t you understand that you leaving would have made all of this pointless? You haven’t seen your mother your entire life and you finally see here and you want to leave after a day!” Terry tries to convince her to stay.

“Why should I care about someone who left me?” She asks.

“Because she is your mother!” Terry yelled. “Alice it’s time about time I tell you this. I am not this hero that you think I am. Sure, I have helped but I never wanted to. If it wasn’t for Father Isaac I was going to leave you. I didn’t care if you lived or died!”

“If you didn’t care then why didn’t you just leave when we Jack had me at Indianapolis? You are a good person you just don’t want to admit it.” Alice said shocked at what she heard him say.

“No, I am not. I am not a good person at all. Let’s sit in the car so I can tell about what happened.” Terrys says as they get in the car.











                                       Chapter 27

About two hours ago, Terry was exiled from the New York City community, he was accused of a crime that he did not commit. The only thing that fuels him right now is the need to kill Mayor Jordan and his son. Terry was given two things before being exiled a .44 Magnum revolver, which was the gun that was used to kill his father and a jacket.

Terry drunkenly  slowly through the December weather, it may not be the best idea to drink as much as he has while living in the Wasteland especially with how low on supplies he is but drinking is the only way Terry knows to get rid his stress at least till he kills someone. The last time Terry had drank this much was when Mayor Jordan had asked him to be his bodyguard. Jordan Jr and Terry stayed up till three in the morning drinking as a well to celebrate.

He was foolish to think that that they were his friends, they were two of the cruelest people he have ever met, they would betray one another if given the chance. Terry had once watched Mayor Jordan execute someone in the middle of the street just because he was bored. He had forced everyone in the general area to watch under the threat of him killing them if they refused. Jordan Jr had never anything like that before but he did cut all five of someone’s fingers off just for cheating during a game of poker.

Terry opens the door to an abounded house, he closes the door behind him. He takes a drink from his bottle of vodka as he walks to the living room. Terry sits on the couch, finishes the rest of the botte and then throws it against the wall, the bottle shatters upon impact. His eye then become heavy and he eventually falls asleep.

“Wake the fuck up!” Terry slowly opens his eyes and sees a women standing there with a gun aimed at his head. Terry slowly sits up, his head is in terrible pain. Terry sees that she a child around the age of ten with her.

“W-what the fuck are you doing h-here?” Terry mutters. The women’s hand is shaking.

“This is my house! What are you doing here?” The women asked keeping the gun aimed at him.

“What do you fucking think I am trying to do? I am trying to fucking sleep!’ He says throwing up.

“Okay I can see that you’re drunk so I’ll let you stay here tonight but thing in the morning you are leaving. She lowers the gun. Terry then sees that she had a Katana around her back.

“I want that!” Terry mutters pointing at the Katana.

“You can’t have it.” She said.

“Give me the fucking sword!” Terry yelled.

“You have no idea what I had to do to get this” She yelled.

         Terry slowly stands up and then points his gun at her,” Give to me now! Or I will fucking kill you!” Her daughter starts to cry as her mom draws her own gun.

         “Shut the fuck up!” Terry yell at her daughter. She cries harder.

         “Look I don’t want to kill you but I will if you don’t lower your gun.” She says trying to calm Terry down.

         “I won’t lower my gun until you give me the sword.” Terry yelled.

         “You’re not fucking getting it!” She yelled.

BANG! Terry fires two shots into her stomach. She falls to the ground choking, blood fills her mouth.

         “Mommy!” The daughter sobs as she watches her mom choke on her own blood.

Terry slowly walks over to the women, he pushes the daughter out of the way. The mom tries to aim her gun at him but Terry steps on her hand. He points his revolver at her head and fires. The daughter starts to run but Terry grabs her by the arm and pull her towards him. He picks the Katana up and stabs.

The next day Terry wakes up, his hand is gripping the handle of the blood stained Katana. “What the fuck have I done!?” He stares at the corpses of the mom and daughter. Flies have already begun to swarm around the bodies.

Terry places the gun against his head, and is about to pull the trigger, “Fuck!” He yells throwing the gun on the floor. He begins to cry. As much as he wants to kill himself he just can’t do it. For Terry killing himself would mean betraying his dad and it would mean that Mayor Jordan wins. Terry can’t let him win.

“You shouldn’t blame yourself.” Alice said trying to comfort him.

“I know I shouldn’t. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to make it through the year without killing someone but I didn’t expect to kill someone who was innocent and young.” Terry says reflecting on what he did.

“You were drunk. You had no clue what you were doing.” She said.

“I know I was but I am still responsible.” He said.

“Terry you can’t do this on your own. Let me go with you.” She said trying one more time to convince him to let her come with him. Terry doesn’t respond.

“Please I want to help you.” She begs.

“Fine, but you have to do what I say whenever I say.” Terry finally agrees.

Thank you!” She said excitedly. “Before we go, I need to do something.” She runs back inside her mom house.

Early the next morning, Sally walks down the stairs in a bathrobe. She is ready to start a relationship with her daughter, she has even planned out a few things for them to do. Once she enters the living she doesn’t see Terry and Alice. She figures that they had just decided to walk around the community.

She goes into the kitchen to make coffee and then finds a letter from Alice pinned to the refrigerator.  She reads the letter.

         Dear Mom,

Mom, I am sorry for the way I reacted yesterday but I was filled with emotions. I understand why you had to leave and I forgive you.  I am writing this because I have to leave. Terry helped me find you and now I need to help him do something important. Terry has promised me that after all this is over we will return. I hope you can understand.

Love Alice





                                       



























                                              December



















                                       Chapter 28

Terry walks to the edge of a broken bridge overlooking the New York community. After a year of living out in the Wasteland Terry has finally made it. The journey here was easier than the one to LA. They ran into two mutants, only a few bandits and not once did they see Father Isaac. Terry thinks that they might have actually killed him.

Standing on this bridge made him think about this father. His father once had taken him outside the community to this exact bridge to show him how big their community really was.  Terry couldn’t believe how big the community was, though they weren’t allowed to go to some spots due to how dangerous they were.

As they got closer to the community, Terry found a way to get in contact with a trusted friend, Alex. For the past year Alex has secretly been putting together an army to take down Mayor Jordan. Alex knew that Terry was innocent but he knew if sided with Terry Mayor Jordan would have killed him. Terry isn’t sure how big this army is but knowing Alex it will be big enough to fight Mayor Jordan.

“Are you sure you can trust this Alex person?” Alice ask walking over to him.

“Yes. He is a very close friend he would never betray me.” Terry said.

“Isn’t that what you thought about Mayor Jordan and his son?” She asked.

“That’s different. There are only a few people I trust and Alex is one of them.” He said.

“I hope you’re right.” Said Alice.

Terry sees the shadow of a car parking behind them. Terry turns around and sees Alex getting out of the car, they walk towards each other a then hug.

“Damn I can’t believe you survived!” Alex said.

“You actually had doubt that I would survive?” Terry asked surprised.

“Yeah I had doubt you were always whiny little bitch growing up. Always running to your dad to fight your battles.”  Said Alex.

“That changed once Jordan hired me.” Terry said.

“No, then you just became a whiny bitch with a gun.” Alex said laughing.

“Okay, tell me about your plan.” Said Terry.

“It’s a simple plan, we hit Jordon first thing in the morning. We have about 100 men each read to fight. Terry, Jordon knows you survived he’s going to be ready.” Alex tells him.

“Good I want him to be ready.” Terry said.

They then get into the car, Alex starts to drive. “What type of weapons do we have?” Terry asks.

“Military grade weaponry. A few nights ago a few of us raided Jordan’s warehouse, where he keeps the best stuff and stole a good amount.” Alex said as he hands Terry and Alice a bottle of water.

“Excellent. Look I want to try and enter his house without him knowing. Once I am in the house that is when you should start the attack. It will be out distraction.” Terry said taking a drink from the bottle.

“Sounds like a plan. Believe it or not we actually have him outnumbered. Most of his police forces has joined us. Although he does have some weird ass people. The one guy is called Father Isaac.” Said Alex.

“Fuck he survived?!” Terry said almost dropping the bottle.

“What you know him?” Asked Alex.

“Yeah, the fucker has been trying to kill us. Mayor Jordan hired him to kill me.” Terry explains.

Alex shakes his head, “What a fucking coward.”

“He believes that he is immortal because he makes sacrifices to Satan. Right now I believe him. I’ve seen him survive things that would kill someone.” Terry explains.

“I know about the sacrifices. He walks around the community and randomly kills people.” Said Alex.

“I have to find a way to kill him.” Terry said.

“Are you ever going to introduce me?” Alice finally asks.

“Oh sorry. Alex this Alice. I helped her find her mom in LA and now she is here to help me kill Mayor Jordan. She has saved my ass on multiple occasions” Terry said.

“Nice to meet you Alice. I can defiantly believe Terry needing to saved.” Alex said parking the car in a tunnel.

“Time to get out. We were able to expand the hidden entrance to the community while you were gone, it now leads right it my house. Jordan has men looking for you so entering this way is best. “He said opening the car door.

They approach a broken down car. Alex walks in front of it. ‘Help me out with this.” Terry and Alex begin to push the car forward. A manhole cover is revealed. Alex removes the cover and they begin to climb down the ladder as they climb Alex covers the hole. Terry is now closer to getting his revenge.











                                       Chapter 29

Mayor Jordan is pacing in his office, for the first time in his life he is worried. Jordan knows that Terry can’t be reasoned with but he has to try. If Terry can just listen to him even only for a minute maybe his life will be spared. “What the fuck I am I going to do?!”

“I don’t know.” Father Isaac said as he sharpens a knife. Father Isaac looks a lot worse than he did before, he has bite marks all over his face, and half of his right ear is bite off.

“If you would have done your fucking job, I wouldn’t be in this situation! Terry is probably already in the city, it’s just a matter of time before he attacks.” Mayor Jordan said.

“I need one more sacrifice.” Father Isaac said placing the knife on a table next to him.

“Fuck you! You have had plenty of sacrifices! Why should I keep on letting you kill people?” He asked lighting a cigar.

“I am weak. I need another sacrifice if I am to deal with Terry.” Father Isaac said.

“You have been walking around the community killing people. Hasn’t that been enough?’ Jordan asks.

“No, those sacrifices have been weak. I require a stronger one.” Father Isaac said.

“You’re crazy. Do you really think that you gain strength from Satan by killing people? Mayor Jordan asked sitting in a chair behind his desk.

“I really don’t think you want to doubt my power.” Father Isaac threatens him.

“Want to know what I think? This whole immortality thing is just in your head.” Mayor Jordan said.

Father Isaac stands up and points to his throat where Terry has cut him,” You see this? This is from when Terry and I first meet, he stabbed me with a knife, two times to be exact. I should be dead.” He then points to his forehead, there is a faded bullet hole,” This one is from when his little bitch shot me! Look at my body I have been mauled by Satan’s demons and yet I am still alive!”

“I don’t give a fuck about your scars, you’re not killing more people!” Mayor Jordan yells.

“Fine but I have warned you.” He said.

“Just get the fuck out of my office!” Mayor Jordan yells as he puts his cigar in an ashtray.



                                       Chapter 29

Terry and Alex are sitting in the living room, Alex offers him a drink. “Sure you don’t want a drink?”

“No, I don’t drink anymore.” Terry said.

“I find that very hard to believe.” Alex said laughing.

“It’s the truth, I gave it up to survive in the Wasteland.” Terry tells him.

“Well you are out of the Wasteland now.” Alex reminds him.

“I don’t care I am not drinking anymore!” Terry starts to raise his voice a little.

“Okay fine, more for me then.” Alex drinks from the bottle.

“So, how is the wife? Didn’t see her when we came in.” Terry asks.

“She is great, we’re having a baby.”

That’s great! When is she due?” Terry asked.

“March.” Said Alex.

“Well congratulations.” Terry said.

“Thanks. Now it’s time for you to find a wife and have kids.” Alex said.

“Maybe after all of this is over.” Terry said.

“Well I am going to bed and I would suggest you do the same.” Alex gets up heads to his room.

These were the types of conversations Terry had missed. Sure he had many conversations with Alice, but to him nothing can beat having a conversation with an old friend. Terry has finally figured out how he is going to kill Mayor Jordan. He’s going to kill him slowly and make him beg for mercy but no mercy will come to him. He didn’t give mercy to his father so he won’t get any either. Terry lays on the couch and closes his eye, only a few more hours till the coming war.



                                       Chapter 30

Around five in the morning, Terry walks into the room where Alice is sleeping and taps her on the shoulder to wake her.  “Is it time?” She asks yawing.

“Yeah but I need to tell you something.” Terry said.

What do you need to tell me?” She asked sitting up.

“Look I’ve been thinking about Alex’s plan and I need to kill Jordan alone. Now don’t be mad, you will still be in the fight. You will be with Alex helping with the distraction. I need to enter alone because I will be able to move quickly and silently.” Terry tells her.

“Okay, I understand.” Alice says.

“Good, I am getting a head start so I’ll see you after all of this is over.” Terry said and beings to leave.

“Terry!” Alice cries out. Terry stops and turns around. “Good luck and please kill that fucker.” Terry nods and walks out of the room.

Parked in an alley across from Mayor Jordan’s gated house, Terry beings to feel a little nervous about everything. Everything that’s he has done over the past year has led to this moment and Terry does not want to mess it up. 

“Before you enter the house contact me with this radio. We’re going to begin the attack by hitting the gate and house with a few rocket launchers. We also have a few snipers placed on the building looking into his house. Good luck.” Alex said handing him a 9mm with a silencer and a radio.

Terry steps out of the car and looks at the house, light snow falls on the ground. Terry had been inside this house many times but this is the first time where Terry feels an evil presence to it. As he beings to walk towards the front gate Terry beings to feel a pain in his stomach, his nerves are starting to come back again.

Terry climbs the gate and falls into a pile of snow. Terry quickly hides in bush as a guards begins his patrol. The guard stands in front of the bush. Terry grabs the guard, and then twists the man’s neck till he can her is crack, the lifeless body hits the snow. Terry beings to slowly walk towards the house. The pain in his stomach increases as his gets closer to the house.

Terry looks into the window on the side of the house. He can see two guards playing poker at a table. “Alex it’s time!” Terry says to Alex on the radio. A few seconds later the house is hard by explosions, pieces of the house fly on the lawn. About twenty guards then pour out of the house firing at the charging men. Terry can see the two men playing poker stand up as more explosions hit the house. Terry stands up and then shoots the two men, blood splatters on the wall.

Terry quickly enters the house through the window, he has to take cover immediately behind a couch as bullets begin to fly by him.

Mayor Jordan flinches at the sounds of the fighting outside his home. He runs to a safe on a dresser, opens it and grabs a gun. He takes the magazine out to makes sure it’s loaded, it clicks as he places the magazine back in. Jordan Jr barges into the room.

“Where the fuck is Father Isaac at?! He yells.

“I don’t know! Fuck I didn’t expect Terry to attack this early and with this type of firepower! Get your fucking ass out there and help the guards.” Mayor Jordan yelled.

“No fucking way! I am staying in here!” He yelled walking towards him.

“Get out there and fucking kill him!” Mayor Jordan grabs him and pushes him out the door, locking the door behind Jordan Jr.

Terry is still behind cover. A bullet almost hits him, he then grabs his Assault rifle and pops out of cover. He fires at the guards, blood spatters on the walls behind them. Terry walks forward with this gun still aimed. At soon as he enters the hallway that the guards were at a man in a demon mask carrying a machete tries to cut him. Terry uses to the rifle to block the machete. He pushes the man against a walls goes to shoot him in the head but the gun jams. He then pulls his Katana out and slices the man’s head off. Not wanting to try and unjam the gun Terry throws the assault rifle on the ground.

Jordon Jr is walking down a hallway an explosion causes him to fall on the ground. Bullets then hit the wall behind him, he crawls to a couch. Jordon Jr then sees Terry walking in the hallway. He aims a gun and fires, but misses. Terry quickly opens a door to use as cover. Jordan Jr continues to fire but he doesn’t even come close to hitting the door.

“Your aim still sucks Jr!” Terry yells laughing.

“Fuck you Terry!” Jordan yelled loading stumbling to load his gun, one of the bullets falls on the floor. Terry sees him goes to pick it up, he fires a warning shot a few inches from his hand. “Fuck!” Jordan yells pulling his hand back. Terry laughs.

Jordan Jr  starts to walk to the door Terry is using for cover, he aims the gun at the door. Terry then pops out from the door and tackles Jordon JR on the ground. Terry starts to punch him. Jordon Jr starts to aims the gun at Terry but Terry grabs the gun at presses it against Jordon’s head. Terry is about to pulls the trigger but stops, he begins to remember how close of friends they were.

“You don’t have any fucking balls! After all of this you finally get me and you can’t pull the fucking trigger.” Jordan Jr laughs.

“Before I kill you, I just want to know why you killed my father.” He presses the harder against his head.

“Go to hell Terry!” He spits at him.

Terry pulls the trigger till the clip is empty, Terry gets up and tosses the gun away. Terry feels a little relived as he watches blood pours out from his head. He is now one step closer to his revenge. Terry walks to Mayor Jordan’s office, he tries to open it but the door is locked.

“You’re not getting in till Terry is fucking dead!” Terry can hear Mayor Jordan yell. Terry smiles and then kicks the door open. Major Jordon see Terry. “Fuck!” Major Jordon fires at Terry till the clip is empty but misses. Terry walks in and closes the door.

“Come one Terry, you don’t have to do this!” He tries to pleas with him.

Terry aims the gun with the silencer and shoots Jordon in the arm. Terry then runs at Jordon, grabs his head and slams it on the desk. He pulls a knife out and stabs him in the hand. Terry backs off, the knife is still stuck in his hand. Terry pulls his magnum out of his holster and presses it against Jordon’s head. “You remember this don’t you? This is the fucking gun you used to kill my father!”

“Terry please don’t kill me! I am begging you!” Mayor Jordan cries.

“Give me one good reason not to!” Terry yelled hitting in the head with the gun.

“I killed him because I found out that he killed…that he had killed your mother.” Mayor Jordan said. Terry takes the knife out of his hand, picks him up and then slams Jordon on the table, and beings to choke him.

“You’re fucking lying!” He stops choking him and begins to punch him till his knuckles are covered with blood.

“I swear I am not! Your dad killed her because he found out that she was having an affair with me. He kept it secret for years!” Mayor Jordan said, coughing up blood. Terry steps back and drops the revolver.

“Please believe me!” Jordan begs.

“I have spent an entire year out in that forsaken place, every day was a fucking fight for survival. You’re the reason I had to do it! I’ve been waiting for this moment all fucking year!”  Terry then pulls the katana out and stabs Jordon in the chest. Blood pours from the wound. Terry picks up his gun and walks to the other side of the desk. Jordan tries to crawl away. Terry pulls him by his hair and then slowly slices his throat with the Katana, blood sprays on his face.

“The bastard is dead!” Terrys says on the radio.

“Fucking fantastic!” Alex said.

Terry places his hand on the handle of the Katana and places it in his holder. Terry looks at Mayor Jordan’s bloody corpse. The pain in his stomach is completely gone. Terry’s goal has finally been reached, and the way he reached it has satisfied him.

BANG! A bullet rips through Terry’s chest, he looks down and sees his shirt covered in blood. Terry then falls to the ground, he can feel his life slowly slipping away. Terry can hear laughter and footsteps, he turns his head and can see Father Isaac walking towards him. Father Isaac places his foot on the wound, Terry screams in pain.

“Terry, Terry, Terry you should know by now that you just can’t kill the boogeyman.” Father Isaac pulls the Katana out and wipes the blood of the blade.

“Now don’t die on me just yet, I have a little story to tell you. Now pay close attention.” Father Isaac said stabbing the Katana in the leg of Terry.

“You see your father lied to you for so many years he told you that your mother had died while giving birth to you. The truth is that shortly after you were born your mom told your father that she was sleeping with Mayor Jordan and that you were actually Mayor Jordan’s son.” Father Isaac pulls the Katana out of leg and stares at his refection in the blade.

“Now you may be think how can I be the son of this monster? Mayor Jordon wasn’t always like this, he became this way after your mom died. You see death really hurt him. After years of guilt of killing his own wife, your father finally told Mayor Jordan and well you know the rest. ” Father Isaac said sitting down next to Terry.

“I-If h-h-he really was my father then way did he want me dead?” Terry said blood comes out his mouth as he speaks.

“Oh he didn’t want you dead that was a cover up to for his son. Mayor Jordan had planned to accuse you or murdering your own father because he knew that if anyone found out he had killed your father people would finally stand up to him. He knew that you would choose to survive in the Wasteland. Mayor Jordan hired me to track you down and tell you everything that happened. Major Jordan didn’t even know you were his son, he just knew that your father had killed your mom.” Father Isaac explains to him. “However I am easily changed. Jordon Jr knew everything, even you being his brother. He contacted me and offered me something better to kill you. So you just killed your real father.” He laughs.

Father Isaac places the Katana on Terry’s throat. “Story time is over Terry. You know this truly has been a lot of fun, I wish all of my victims would have been this fun.”

BANG! Two bullets enter Father Isaac’s head. His body hits the floor, blood pouring from his head. Alex and Alice run over to Terry. Terry is beginning to turn pale, he has lost a lot of blood.

“Come on don’t you die on me!” Alex yells. As Terry lays there close to death he beings to wonder if he need for revenge was really worth it. His eyes then close.



                                       Chapter 31

Terry is laying on a bed, he is breathing but his breathing is slow. Alex and Alice are sitting in chairs besides him. Alice is sleeping while Alex is trying to stay awake. Terry’s eyes slowly open. He is in enormous pain.

“Hey dickhead go get me something to drink.” Terry mutters.

Alex immediately becomes full awake. “I thought for sure you were going to die!”

“Still doubting me?” Terry slowly says.

“Yeah well you still will always be a whiny bitch to me.” He says laughing.

“Fuck you, now go get me something to drink.” Terry said.

“Alice he’s awake.” He says and he starts to walk out of the room.

She quickly jumps awake and hugs him tightly. “We both thought you were going to die!”

“Yeah well I couldn’t let that fucker win. Speaking of him, is he dead?” He asks.

She shakes her head,” He’s still alive somewhere. Alex went back to finish him off but he was gone.”

“Our war continues then.” Terry said.

“Well, I’ll let you get some rest.” She said leaving the room.

Terry is slowly walking to a car, Alice and Alex are walking behind him. They then open the car door and pack start to pack the car.

“Are you sure you have to go?” Alex askes.

“Yeah, I still owe Alice a few promises and I intend to keep them.” He says looking at Alice.

“Are you ever going to come back to the community? We need a leader like you.” Alex said.

“Not sure but until I do you’re in charge.” Terry said getting in the car.

“I might just staying in charge even when you come back because we both know I will be the better leader.” He says laughing. Terry closes the door to the car but rolls the window down.

“Terry I hope you don’t feel bad about killing Mayor Jordan. He may have been your father but remember he killed a lot of innocent people. No offence he deserved.”

“I don’t feel bad at all. You right he did kill a lot of innocent people and deserved to die. Goodbye Alex.” Terry said.

“Bye Terry.” Alex said. Terry then drives off and starts another journey.















                   

                                       April



















                                       Epilogue

Alive wakes up early one morning, she opens her tent. The sun reflects on the light dew that covers the ground. She walks over to Terry’s tent to wake him. He wanted to leave early that morning. “Terry?” She says before opening it. There is no response, she decides to open the tent, and he is not in it. Alice beings to panic.

Alice walks to the car to see if he is in it, on the hood of the car she finds a letter and the Katana. She picks the letter up and starts to cry while reading it.

         Dear Alice,

Alice, I am sorry I had to leave like this but it’s best for both of us. I know I made a promise to you but I can’t stick to it. My place is in New York. Alex was right they need a leader and I feel that I am that leader. Please don’t follow. Go to LA and live with you mom. You’re close to Phil and Eric’s camp, go there and ask them to help you. This is goodbye Alice.
