Vic never thought he’d be itching to head back out into the land of walkers but after being confined to the compound for so long, he was on edge and ready to punch something. The somewhat working gym was a godsend in these times of absolute boredom. He’d tried to be helpful around the compound already; cleaning up the areas everyone used, patching up leaky roofs, fortifying walls with whatever they could find. But there was only so much they could do with the limited resources they had. They needed to go on another supply run and soon, their stocks made that obvious. Vic was getting ready to head over to the gym for the day, pulling on a shirt before he heard Jefferson come in. “Hello to you too, sunshine.” He laughed and moved to follow him, “Where are we going?”

“Morning,” Jefferson amended quickly, pecking Victor on the lips with a fast kiss before grabbing his hand. “I found a place. For us, maybe.” He smiled and pulled Victor along until they reached the blockage that had been keeping people out for awhile. “Through here.” He reluctantly let go of Victor’s hand and turned, sliding through the fallen pieces of wall and locker, emerging on the other side. He stood just outside the classroom door, grinning as he waited for Victor to join him. “Do you need some help?” he asked with a laugh, ready to move the entire wall if he had to.

Jefferson hated being stuck indoors. It drove him crazy. Ever since he’d escaped near death, he never liked being cooped up anywhere. But with all the rain they were getting, he was practically stuck inside of the school building. It had been during one of his explorations that he’d managed to clear a path to a once unusable wing of the school. At least a path wide enough for them to get through. It would take more work to completely clear the debris. What exactly had happened here anyway? He’d have to find out some other time, if ever, he thought as he finished cleaning up the classroom. They were bigger, had more space, and as luck would have it, a working shower. Thank God for chemical showers. After spending the entire morning straightening up, he returned to find Vic. “Hey, come with me, I wanna show you something.”

“Your form is terrible.” Jefferson kept his voice calm and cool, the one he used when he was teaching one of the interns at the hospital how to do something. But now he was using it to teach people how to shoot, how to fight, how to kill. Saving lives was something different now. Smiling, he grabbed two canteens of water. “But let’s take a break. We’ve been at this all morning and the sun is high now.”

Victor had just stepped back in from walking around the compound rather aimlessly when he heard Jefferson stirring. “Kind of… not really.” He chuckled humorlessly and shrugged off his jacket. “Couldn’t sleep.” He said by way of explanation and moved across the room to sit on the bed by him. “I forget that one of us doesn’t have to be awake all night. I guess I’m still getting used to the idea that we’re safe here.” He pursed his lips together. “Somewhat.”

Jefferson sighed and smiled at him. “Yeah, it’s... it’s been a change.” He sat up some more, putting their foreheads together. “I don’t want to trust this place but it’s nice being able to sleep on something that’s not a rock.” He tilted his head up, kissing Victor on the forehead before swinging his legs around to sit up on the edge of the bed. “Is anyone else awake yet?”

“We’re strongest together, but when we’re apart? Yeah, I’m worried. We might not survive being split up.” “Let’s hope that never happens.”

Jefferson turned over in bed and grumbled when he found the other side empty. It wasn’t a large bed, but it was more comfortable than sleeping on the ground had been. Slowly, he sat up, rubbing his eyes and looking blearily around the room until he spotted who he was looking for. “Someone’s up early,” he said with a laugh. “Got a lot on your mind?”

Jefferson stood on the edge of the garden, watching a man he barely knew pick tomatoes before he heard his siblings approach. He turned and met them halfway, raising an eyebrow at them before holding up two paper sacks with their names scrawled across them. “These are for you,” he said, still watching them. “Peace offerings or bribes, take it how you will. I found some stuff I thought you guys might like while out on a run. Lux helped me put them together.” Jefferson knew how uneasy this whole thing had been but honestly he was getting a little tired of it. They were all together and sooner or later they were all going to get along. “Well, take them and open them up.”

Gabriel smirked to himself as Nina wasted no time in ‘welcoming’ the twins’ brother to the group. “You have high expectations about everybody, Nina.” He chuckled, walking along on the other side of Jefferson, hands occupied with the automatic he had chosen to equip himself with for the run. “You seem like a decent guy from what I’ve heard. So there isn’t really anyone I think you’d have a problem with. Except maybe Grant, but that guy’s got a bone to pick with everyone so I wouldn’t worry too much. And Gunnar might seem like a handful, but it’s only because he does what he needs to keep everyone safe.”

Nina’s eyes darted around the abandoned buildings, mentally crossing out the ones she’s been in before. The place was quiet, but she’s been in far too many situations where quiet meant something was up. “They told us they got separated from you in a shopping mall. Spencer was out of it when we found them. Carried those around with him every second of the day.” She gestured to the machetes Jefferson were now carrying, before whipping her head to the right of them. She saw a lone walker moving inside of one of the buildings. “We have company.”

“I can take care of myself,” Jefferson answered in response to the warning about Grant. He glanced over at Nina and frowned some at her statement. He hated thinking about that day. “It was supposed to be routine, but the walkers came out of nowhere and surprised us. I was trying to get him out of the way when they separated us and overwhelmed me.” He was silent for a moment before launching his machete with precision, embedding it in the walker’s face. “Learned that from Lux,” he explained idly as he walked to retrieve his blade. “Since losing them, I’d spent every waking moment searching, even after Victor and Lux pulled my from a creek.”

“I know. That’s what I keeping telling Gunnar but he thinks I’m a child most of the time.”

“Actually, I have to stop by the clinic just to check on some things. Meet me at the gates in five? We can’t fire weapons on site.”

“Brothers are protective like that,” he answered with a smile. “But of course. I’m going to make a quick stop as well and I’ll be waiting for you at the gates.”

“He won’t kick you out, I swear. I have your back. And besides, from what I can tell you’re an asset to the group. Gunnar might get mad but he knows he needs more friends than enemies.”

“Everyone is replaceable, but I can teach you. You’re willing, which means you won’t mess up as much. Plus you should know how to handle a gun in case...” Jefferson trailed off. “If you’re ready, we can start right now.”
