[Private] Another night of haunting dreams, nightmares and Javier was coming to the point of breaking. He needed to get his head on straight he needed to get his head back to where it should be. He was snapping at people, keeping distance, he couldn't push people away. "One night of sleep is all i ask for, one night." getting up he moved over to the rug and started to do a few push-up. It was almost light out, might as well start the workout.
Everything is secure, someone else get night watch tonight.
I'm going to check on the gates and take a sweep of the grounds.
I’m not too bad a shot, my dad made me learn as a way to ‘make me a man’ about a year ago. I had his revolver in my gear for a while, but once I’d used up the ammo I had I tossed it. Didn’t need any dead weight you know? But I had… maybe 40 bullets and only 2 of them missed their mark…
If you still want to train me up then whatever but I figured any ammo we can spare should be spared right? Maybe I could help you teach the others? I’ll kinda re-train myself by training the others…
I'm glad i can trust you enough to watch my back, Blaine. I'd like to see what you got, maybe once we take a group out- you can show the others how its done.
I'm going to check on the gates and take a sweep of the grounds.
Those of you who wish, grab a gun and watch my back. You all have to learn how to handle a weapon at some point, as Elena and I were driving, we saw a clearing further out. it will be perfect for target practice, i want everyone here to learn how to shoot. Whose up for it?
Anything to help out. I’d love to.
Good, glad to hear it. You should learn how to shoot, you have to protect Beth and what better way then to learn to defend yourself. Once we get a few more interested i'll take you out.

Oh, well, now that you’re ready to move on, maybe you’ll think before you run off again. You want to share our security, you want to share our supplies, you want to get rations?
You fucking stick around to do the work. That’s the bottom fucking line, dude. And no, I don’t care if mí papá sees me saying this because deep down I know he fucking agrees with me.
Oh is that so, that little speech wasn't for my health Elena, No one is exempt from this- you especially. Rachel isn't going anywhere this time and if she does, we'll decide as a group what to do about it. You worry about rations and give them out equally for each person and let me worry about fucking security - understood? I am done just sitting back and letting you talk to people this way. We're all scared, we've all lost people and I am done crying like some niños puto.
I will do what i damn well please, i will not be lectured to by my own child. I am your papi and you will ¡un poco de respeto! Do i make myself clear?
No one is getting thrown out.
Listen, its just us now and we need all the hands and able bodies we can get. we had a chance to save people and we did the right thing. We leave no one behind unless they've been bitten or are a risk to seriously get us killed. So if you don't like someone, stay the hell away from them. Because I have no problem smacking each and everyone of you kids across the head now. I no longer have to worry about the law and getting my ass arrested. So please try me, i'm looking to let off a little steam.
Hey look who we found on the way back here.
Oh — Oh my god, Rachel, You’re here, you’re safe, You’re HERE. I mean uh. Uh …. It’s good to see you, are you okay?
whew… it’s hot, but anyways… it’s good to see you…
Down boy...
Hey look who we found on the way back here.
We have more important things to worry about then hair dye...
The hair dye was just a stupid joke! Do you seriously think I’m dumb enough to endanger people just so Scott could be blonde again?!? Nice to know what people fucking think of me.
Easy bowtie, misunderstanding. Don't have a melt down...

I think you’d only need the one extra person. I mean, we’ve already got one up on the roof 24/7 in shifts, we’d just need to position one extra person up there and have them take rations up with them. Once they’ve eaten, the first two who are cleaned up can switch out.
While we’re on the subject, though. I don’t think we should do this every day. I say once a week - I know it gives us shit time to wash up and cold meals and whatever but we’ve survived this long without it. We should aim to save more gas and especially our water supply - those pipes may have worked for you but they won’t be on for much longer. And baths waste too much fucking water when we need to save as much of the water for drinking as possible. Bathing is a luxury and luxury will only make us fucking careless.
You know what Elena, tell me when i can be of use to you.... i'll be outside.

The noise has been reduced to practically nothing, but this is to save on gas. I’m going to work out a time frame for showers, most likely it will be right after supper. I think it would be wise to keep the usage all clumped together. Hot meal for supper and after supper everyone showers, cleans up and then we turn it off. Is everyone agreed on this?
There should be an extra guard posted during the time we’re eating and getting all fresh and shit.
Because I am not about to let those fleshbags sneak up on us while we’re vulnerable.
Yeah of course, last thing we need is to be caught with our clothes off. While one group is cooking and cleaning and doing whatever- the other group will be on watch.
Just another day - Javier Lopez
A lot of the pressure had been taken off of Javier when Santana walked right onto the farm. His girls were safe and he only hoped that Ramon was safe as well, his son, his boy- who hated him. Javier and Ramon were close when he was younger, but around the age of six he started to turn from his father- angry that Javier cared more about his career then him. It was true that Javier was never around, but it was because he cared. He had a job to do and he wanted to keep his kids in the same neighborhood. He didn't want to uproot them to an army base.
Ever since Javier had killed Ben, or what was once Ben - Javier had started to get those night terrors again. Where he would picture Ben's hand reaching out from the ground and clawing at his leg. He shouldn't feel guilty about this, because his friend was dead - dead and gone and he put his friends body to rest. Yet his own body didn't want to rest, last nights dream had done little for his nerves and he woke up drenched in sweat. His heart beating in his chest, "i'm going insane," He slowly got up and opened his bed room window and just let the cool breeze wash over him.
He was up for the rest of the night, moving out onto the porch to keep an eye out. He looked towards the graves where Ben and Bri were buried and moved silently over and knelt down next to them. "I know you're not here anymore, but i wish like hell you'd stop haunting my dreams. You and Maria are going to be the death of me and I need my sleep. I wish you could answer me, actually scratch that. if i see your ghost like ass, i'm running the other way and it will prove that i am going insane." Sighing he walked back to the house, wanting to get back before Elena came running out and screaming at him. Who was the adult again?
Sitting down in the living room, he prayed for Coffee. it was going to be a hell of a day. His head resting in his hands as he tried to stop all the emotions in his head, floating around trying to distract him. He had a job to do, he had things to do, he had kids to protect and a family to fight for. They were his family now and he'd be damned if he'd let anything happen to them. Tho, Javier wasn't stupid and knew people died but he'd do is best to make sure that didn't happen for a long time.
The sun was starting to rise now and Javier found himself getting up to get ready for the day. Deciding on a little work out, it was better then coffee and got his blood flowing. He would start his old routine and hope that his body wouldn't give out on him. Every morning when he was in his youth, he'd get up and run five miles and then go to work and yell at idiots all day long. Then he changed professions and was still telling at idiots all day long. Using the living room he started to do some stretches, sit-ups and push-up and with each push he felt that much better. He'd have to find some things when he and Elena went on that raid- perhaps a punching bag? It wouldn't only be good for him but for Elena as well and anyone else who wanted to use it.
Just another day... a new day...

Javier had made the generator almost silent, it took him three days but he got the damn thing. Which meant sleep was certainly not a factor and it was okay, he didn't want to sleep anyways. Stumbling back into the house he headed for the main room and started to look through the CD's, finding Bruce Springsteen The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle album- on it one of the first songs he had ever sung to Maria; Rosalita. It was the summers of 1974 almost a year since the song had come out and Javier had plans to sing a song at the school's summer assembly for her. He was fifteen years old and already a bad boy, and he Knew Maria was digging him. "Now i know your mama she don't like me `cause i play in a rock and roll band and i know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand..."
We're running low on food and water - its time for another raid.
Listen, i haven’t had the best week of sleep. Comprende? Which means back off the old man, lets go.
Yeah, let’s get this shit over with.
Good, you drive.
