17 : Preparations

A week later.

* We'll be sneaking up tonight. I hope those raiders will not be too cautious. *

I sipped a tea and went outside.

" Felix, tonight's our chance. If we can successfully rob them, we will probably win when we attack of the Black Horse. "

I told him.

" Yes, that's right. Everything depends on what will happen tonight. I already prepared the most skilled men. There's a lot of guns too. It's probably an eighty percent chance of winning. "

He said and he went to take a rest.

* I should ask Shino if he want to come. *

I went near the gate and spoke with him.

" Shino, do you want to come tonight? "

" Uhm..yes probably. I want to learn something other than just guarding. "

He said.

" Alright, call someone to guard this area. I will teach you on how to use a gun. "

I told him.

" But I already know how... "

He said.

" No, not just pistols. "

I said.

He went to call someone and after a while, I saw a teen.

" What's your name? "

I asked him.

" Oh...I'm Tyler.... you're Chris aren't you? "

He answered and then asked me.

" Yes. You're right. "

I said and I told him to guard while we're away.

" Sure thing boss! "

He replied.

I grabbed a gun and called Shino.

" Let's go? "

I asked him.

" Alright. "

He replied.

" Open the gates! "

I shouted and went outside.

" I've got two guns. One for training and one for protection. "

I told him and we continued walking.

* This spot will do. *

We stopped and gave Shino the gun.

I saw the bush moved.

* Huh? A spy?! *

I fastly grabbed my gun and pointed at the bushes.

" Show yourself! Or I'll shoot! "

I announced.

Then someone went outside the bush.

" What the...Joel?! "

I was wondering when did he went out.

" Oh...I'm caught. I just wanna learn too... "

He said.

" Alright, I'll teach you but you need stick with us. "

I said.

* I thought it was one of the raiders or something. *

" Prepare. Aim first and shoot. "

I told them.

Hours later and they learned how to use a gun.

" Let's go. It's already evening. "

I told them all.

" You're a great teacher aren't you? Not like Dorothy, she's not that smart she just teach us using only knives. "

Joel said.

" She's teaching the basics for the kids. "

I explained.

While walking, we saw the raiders base in a distance.

" Shh...raiders. "

I told them and we all crouched.

We watched them talking to someone.

* Fuck...is that the boss of the Black Horse.? *

Then someone noticed us.

« Someone's behind the bushes! »

" If I say run, you guys run. Alright? "

I commanded them.

" But- what about yo- "

" Run! "

I shouted at them and they both escaped.

" Kids! You won't escape! "

A guy said.

" They will because I'm here. "

I told him and aimed a gun.

* I'll kill this bitch. *

I pulled the trigger.

I saw a lot of them pointing a gun at me.

* I'm outnumbered. If I shoot again, I'm dead. *

" Surrender! "

Someone screamed.

Then I saw the Nightmare escaping.

" Grab him! Infecteds behind you guys! "

Someone commanded and dragged me inside.

* The plan...oh no.. *
