painkillers, anti-biotic, anything that would help. The room emptied.
    The blade was glowing and orange, red, Frank looked to Jack, “You want me to do it?” he asked.
    Jack smiled, “You get the next one,” he joked, trying to calm the panic he could see in Frank’s eyes.
    Jack took the knife and stood up, he removed the towel that covered Brays shoulder, “I’m sorry this is going to hurt,” Jack warned him.
    Before Jack acted, Frank grabbed Bray to hold him still, he also pulled a pencil from his vest, “Bite down on this,” he told him while placing the pencil in Brays mouth. Looking at Jack, Frank nodded his head, indicating for him to start.
    Jack held tight to Bray as he touched the hot blade against the wound, Bray gave out a scream of pain, and Frank struggled to hold him down. Jack moved the blade to Brays back and the exit wound and touched it again against his skin, once again he screamed out. Within a moment, Jack was finished and the bleeding had stopped, Bray passed out, as the smell of burning flesh filled the room. Frank was shocked as the aroma was one resembling overcooked frying beef; this made him sick to the stomach.
    As Frank lay Bray down on the sofa making him comfortable he noticed a distant look in Jack’s eyes, he looked as Jack stared at his own blood-covered hands; Frank had no words to comfort him.
    The door opened and Elle walked in the room, “Is it safe to come in now,” she spoke out.
    Frank was the only one to reply, “The bleeding has stopped, and he needs to rest.”
    Elle walked further into the room and stood over Bray, as she looked at him Ryan, Zoe and Mark entered the room carrying a few pill bottles, “This is all we could find,” Zoe told Jack.
    Jack took the bottles and looked at them, “These will do for now,” he responded.
    Elle spoke out to Frank, “This is a good place to hold up for now, at least until Bray is stronger,” she told him.
    Frank agreed, “Looks like we have a temporary home for now,” he tried joking.
    Jack snapped, “NO, we cannot stay here.”
    Frank looked at Jack and replied, “All respect Jack, but I am in command here.”
    Jack gave a sarcastic smile, “OK Sir,” he uttered angrily.
    Grabbing a towel, Jack wiped the blood from his hands, “You might be forgetting one thing, Sir,” he told Frank.
    Frank simply lifted his head waiting for Jack to continue to speak.
    “Bray was shot, just outside, meaning someone was watching us and they know we are here,” Jack told him.
    The room went silent, everyone looked at Frank, and once again, Jack had proven that he would be the best person to lead them. Frank stood tall, “We will stay here for a few hours, enough time for Bray to get some rest and then we move,” he told everyone.
    Silence continued in the room, as Jack walked over to the window and sat on the floor under it Paige moved over to him and laid down beside him, resting her head on his leg.
     
    Alina carefully walked down a long road, scattered with abandoned vehicles, some of the cars looked as if they had been put in place on purpose to provide a barrier. She weaved through the gaps and fast approached a tall concrete structure, two dark figures stood on guard at the entrance, as she got closer a sign could be seen, it reads, ‘Multi Story Car Park in Greater London.’ She walked towards the figures, large oil barrels burning stood scattered around the building as she walked past them she gave a happy smile.
    Inside the complex, several people could be seen working on vehicles, burning barrels scattered everywhere supplying the only source of light woman cooked food and cleaned clothes, the area looked like a refugee camp, dirty and covered in trash. Alina approached some stairs, she ran up there as fast as she could to the top level, running inside this level was much more elegant, generators supplied power to televisions with games being played, sofas, piled up food and drink was scattered around. The screams of a
