As the quarantine zone came in view Cameron stopped. He was so close to refuge. A place of safety and a place he could get food. Although it wasn’t his home, he could feel a sense of longing as he wished he could find a way in. But with the military men guarding the quarantine zone and without the knowledge of how to enter undetected he knew it was a lost cause. If he waited a few days he might be lucky enough to catch a smuggler make their way in or out and follow the same path they did but since he was without food and his water was running low he wondered if he would be able to make it for that long.

“God, maybe I should have gone back.” Cameron muttered to himself as he thought of the supplies his uncle had. It was dangerous going back and sneaking in and stealing what the men stole from his uncle’s dead body but right now there wasn’t much of a choice. He could stay here and hope he could catch a smuggler entering or leaving the quarantine zone and hope he was near one of the entryways or go back and steal from a campsite that was probably guarded. As he thought about this he could see why hunters and other people would be willing to pillage from others seeing how desperate things could be on the outside. As he thought about it, Cameron wondered if he would be able to do that as well if he had the opportunity. He needed supplies whether he made it in or not if he wanted to survive and even if he made it inside of the quarantine zone he had no ration cards to get anything to eat which would mean he would have to do something sketchy in the first place beyond sneaking into the quarantine zone. He had a gun but and although he knew he couldn’t kill someone with it out of the blue, he wondered if he would be able to threaten someone into giving him something to eat. Under normal circumstances, he would have never thought of doing something like this but he was desperate. But he wondered if he was desperate enough to go along with his plan.

“Seriously, how did the scope get busted?” Tia mumbled to herself as she looked through the scope of her gun and saw nothing more than shattered fragments of glass. Off in the distance she could see an object coming closer but had no way in telling what exactly it was. She would have thought a car would attract too much attention but the speed the object was moving towards the city was far too fast to someone walking or even a person frantically sprinting towards the city. “I wonder if I found my key out of this hellhole.” Tia said with a smile before packing her belongings and headed downstairs, making sure to take the back route to make sure to avoid the infected she left on the street. 

“Hey, going somewhere blondie” A familiar voice said as Tia heard footsteps starting to make their way towards her. 

“Bug off before I make you.” Tia said snapping back as a man a few years older caught up to Tia.

“Hey remember, we’re on the same side here.” The man said showing his hands in a non-threatening way. “We work for the same guy remember?”

“I work with a team of one Garret, you should know this by now.” Tia said pulling out her hand gun and held it loosely besides her thigh to show that she was serious. Sure, she helped the Hunters out every once in a while and although she titled herself as a fellow hunter, her ties with them were very loose to the point that her loyalties were often questioned. 

“Hey, I saw what you did to Phil.” Garret said stopping in front of Tia. “You know once the word gets out there will be people after you and you’ll need someone to back you up.” She knew that he wanted to go with her and although the two worked together before, going on a mission to find the possible vehicle wasn’t something she wanted to venture with him. 

“Yeah, he killed my little mouse I was hunting, he deserved it. Anyways, if I needed protection from a hunter, do you think I’d trust someone that is as close to them as you are? I’d rather pair up with a stranger with no affiliations than you.” Tia said before continuing down the street. She could hear the man behind her yell that she would be sorry for her mistake but took no heed to what he said. She didn’t need to rely on anyone to survive.
