She never expected him to not have a group. How did a kid survive on his own without a group? Maybe it was a recent thing? He was part of a group and ran away? Or maybe they got killed by walkers? Or raiders?

“Shit kid. That’s... shit,” Jessalyn rubbed the back of her neck and turned away. She took a deep breath and blew it out, looking at the ceiling of the bus as if it had the answers.

She felt a pull at her heart. Just a kid. This world sucked royally.
If the raiders found him he’d have no chance. He’d be their little slave while they trained him to be like them : a monster worse than the walking dead.
What the hell was she thinking? She wasn’t a babysitter. She was on her own and she liked it that way.

She liked it that way damn it.

Decision made, she turned back to the kid. “What’s your name short stuff?”
