[b]Robert - Haywood - Daniel[/b]

As Daniel started following Robert, the discussion between the two men commenced. Robert started towards the gates as he began to speak, having Daniel behind him. "We cannot allow that child to stay in our walls. She has infiltrated our facility and nearly stole your personal supplies. We wont harm her, but we must have her ejected from Haywood. If you show leadership weakness to these people, that you will allow thieves in our community, then you will no longer be worthy of your position. You are leader because you can make the hard decisions. Expel the child from Haywood. If you must, provide her with supplies and give her medical assistance, but no more than that. In addition, we must have our security runs become more frequent and productive. If a small child can infiltrate our facility, then what prevents others from doing the same thing? Exactly. We can cut the hourly break into half-an-hour and there will be more time for surveillance" Robert began, he still had a lot more to say. 

They were now at the gates where Robert looked towards the outside. Anthony and three other men were going on a scavenging run. Their duty was to get supplies and find survivors - runs which were first only used to find supplies. "According to our supply accounting group, our food stock has decreased by about fifteen percent. Due to the increase in population, that means more rations must be distributed. Our scavenging groups have not found much food, they have to travel farther and farther just to find something. That is not only a waste of our time, but our gasoline for the trucks. I suggest we either cut down the rations, or.................." he paused, turning to Daniel and facing the man. ".........We could get rid of some people. Listen, I know it's a rash decision, but you can no longer be the good guy Daniel. Good men don't make it in this world, you must understand. You came here for sanctuary and you got it. You got more than that, you've gained respect, you've gained support. You've become the leader of these people and they need you now. They want to survive as much as you, as much as your little sister. Give them the chance. I assume they chose you for a reason, do not let them down brother" Robert stated, forcing himself to speak good of the man, but at the same time attempting to get him to break. He wanted to show the people of Haywood that Daniel could not make the tough decisions, that he instead would fall to the pressure. 

Robert then started once again. "If you want your sister to survive this winter, then fix these problems. But remember, don't do it merely for her, but for us all. These people need a leader they can trust, show them you are worthy."
