Travis looked around the site gluhed "Yeah, dammit Just how the hell are we supposed to save the world?"

Juan shrugged "Not the whole world Just what little we can carve out of it for ourselves"

Travis et in there There is plenty of room in there for everyone and it would be helluva lot more comfortable than trailers and cots"

Juan nodded "That will be a big undertaking At least they hadn’t officially opened yet and there was only training staff the first day Maybe twenty people? But with the guns we can clear theuns at all costs It will probably draw rabbed some crossbows and archery stuff back at Ralph’s, but we’ll definitely need to practice a lot with those before we use theuns"

"Hey, guys, what’s up?" Katie asked

"Figuring out our next move," Travis answered He couldn’t help but study both of theave hi around her face and occasionally she would wrinkle her nose at the stench

He looked at Juan, who just gave an affiriving them both an inquisitive look

Travis opened hisabout the archery stuff I don’t know if anyone is going to reure out how to use it"

"Oh, well, yeah, but if we could use it instead of guns unless in highpressure situations, it could cut down on howattention," Juan said in a way Travis kneasn’t talking about zoave Juan an intense look

Jenni just kept s at Travis "What do you think, Travis?"

"That we’re fucked," Travis answered truthfully "But we can do our best to get unfucked"
