"Anyone wanna try climbing my luscious blonde locks to get up to the top of the tower?"

Alek stopped in her walk to the cafeteria when she heard a bored sounding voice call out. She recognized the voice fairly well, it was Lauren, one of Ryder’s top bitches as Alek always said. She didn’t personally have any beef when it came to the other woman. They had only interacted a couple of times, but it was easy to tell Lauren wasn’t the nicest person in the world. Though, not many of the people that lived in this camp were the nicest people. The people who had been considered nice in the world were all basically dead, an extinct race that was likely never to return. Nice people were weak and weak people had been the first ones to die when the shit hit the fan. Still, Alek didn’t exactly hate Lauren but being as she was so close to Ryder, she had decided a while back that it was best to not try to befriend the woman. She’d thought about replying to the joking question Lauren had thrown out to no one in particular, but before she could say anything a shiver of irritation hit her at the sight of seeing Ryder come. 

Alek turned quickly before he could lock eyes with her. She only made eye contact with Ryder when he was up close and personal. If she didn’t then he would think he had complete power over her, which in her mind he did not. He may have had some little portion of power over her because she lived in his compound, but that was as far as his power went. Truth be told she was actually looking for some way to escape this place. Of course she didn’t dare tell that to anyone, but it was true. During the few times she went out on raids she was always on the search for somewhere else to go. She’d thought about setting out and just finding a small quite place out in the country for her to live by herself, but she had yet to make that step. Going out by yourself was a hard thing to do, even if you did despise the place you were in and the people who ran it. 

Alek listened for the two speak back and forth for a while, forgetting the fact she was going to get breakfast. She had walked over to a nearby post, where she couldn’t be seen, continuing to listen to them and smoke her joint at the same time. She always found it funny when Ryder was disappointed in someone. The person he was disappointed in always had this sound in their voice when they responded to him. This desperate need to please him type of tone. It made her laugh to herself a little. She would never sound like that, no matter what she did to disappoint the asshole. She would rather die than say sorry to him.  

"I'm sorry, sir. I failed to report it in." Lauren said to Ryder in that same voice Alek always found amusing. 

“What a suck up…” Alek said to herself quickly, laughing under her breath.
