It had been a month since Sean and Jonah found the house in the fallen settlement. But that wasn’t the only thing they found, they met a handful of people, people that would turn into their group, their friends even.
*Flasback*
They morning after then night they all met, was weird. Some of them wanted to go, other ones wanted to stay, but they all agreed on one thing, they needed a good plan, one that involved keeping themselves alive. After talking and bickering back and forth between various people, they all agreed to stay, but just for now.
Sean and Jonah had both dreamed of a safe haven for survivors, something like this, a settlement of their own. But not if it stayed n this shape, there was a lot of work to do. First thing Sean did was give Jonah his meds and then he went out to scout the place. He didn’t find holes or anything in the walls and the mill that provided them with electricity looked like it was in good shape too.
From that moment Sean knew this place could actually work. He shared his knowledge with everyone, but he had to fight hard for his cause, some of them still wanted to leave. It took him days to convince everyone, but eventually it sort of worked out, everyone wanted to give it a chance. Meanwhile the meds made Jonah better, not hundred percent, but better.
The next day they all started with various tasks, scavenge materials, repair things, clear houses, etc… . They did this for a about a month and a lot of things had happened. Holly brought a person extra to their group and with that a bunch of supplies, Raylen still had a lot of his supplies and shared them, Lila, Aaron and Ralse worked as hard as they could and so did Sean and Jonah. So after this short amount of time, they managed to repair the gate and add some extra defense, build some small watchtowers, clear every house and make it livable and they even managed to get the crop fields back in shape. But that wasn’t all, that month also made sure they slowly started to trust each other, which was needed, if they wanted this place to work.
The next weeks to come would still ask a lot of work, but Sean was proud and what had been achieved on this month. The place was ready to let new people in, so he gathered everyone and made his rules known. Again some bickering happened but eventually they agreed. Sean and Jonah assigned a house for everyone. They paired up Lila, Holly and Marcella and in the other house Ralse and Aaron with Knuckles. Sean and Jonah also had their own place, they were ready to slowly start living their dream.
Only a few days later on a scavenge trip Sean and Aaron, brought back a new member of their group. A guy named Alfred, he was in bad shape, but they would take care of him. But Sean was strict and immediately applied his rules, which involved Alfred giving up all his weapons. He got a knife as replacement and would get his guns back after his ‘probation time’. The second rule was that he needed to stay in one of the houses with anyone of the core members. Since he was the first one, Sean decided to let him stay over at Jo and his place. At night he would be locked in a room and asked to give up his weapon. They guy seemed weak and for now did as he was asked, if it would stay that way wasn’t sure.
*End Flashback*
One day after finding Alfred….
Sean woke up, still a bit tired, but sleeping in wasn’t an option. But thankfully most of the houses had a stash coffee, Sean needed it badly. He was glad that most of the houses where still stocked with food, but that didn’t keep them from doing supply runs during the past month. All the food they found was stored in Sean and Jonah their houses, so where the guns, of course everyone had gotten their own guns back, but the new found guns where kept with Sean. This way Sean was in control when anyone needed a gun, food or other stuff. If a house their stock was getting low, they could come for a refill, that way Sean could keep track of how their supplies where.
Sean managed to get up, but didn’t feel like getting dressed yet. He put on his sock and was just wearing his boxer. He figured Alfred would still be asleep and Jonah had seen him quite a few times in his boxer, so no worries there, besides if Alfred wasn’t still sleeping and awake he would have to knock three times on the door from his room, so Sean knew he wanted to get out. That would give him plenty of time to get dressed first, but again it didn’t bother him if even Afred would see him like this, he used to show off his body so he was used to people looking at him, but he had no clue how Alfred would react, maybe it was awkward for him.
Sean walked to the kitchen and started to make coffee, after a cup of that good stuff he would take a shower and then get to work. It took awhile before it was ready, so he sat down and waited.
