8 Madie:

5days4hours23min.54sec.

That's how long we have before complete destruction. Sitting there looking at the clock then at everyone sitting around the table for the meeting. You look to Tommy who is giving people the orders on who goes on the runs. Then Drake is putting people on rotation for watch over the compound. He looks at you and smiles. "I would like to go on a run." Madie said looking Tommy in the eyes. He looks at her and his jaw tightens but he nods. "All training up to date?" He asks business like. You nod. "Yes Phillip can verify." You say looking over to Phillip.

"I'm not going to sugar coat this people. We have 5 days and no Antidote. We need to make sure we have supplies for when we are on the move. We have 3 Humvees. We need Ammo, Food, Water, And any and all Firstaid. We move out on day 3 of the mayhem clock." Tommy said. He looked at everyone. "Dismissed." Drake said. Tommy, Madie, and Drake all stayed. Madie had to give full report about the women and training as well as complaints and supply audit.

"Women for the most part are doing well with shooting. Some struggle with hand to hand. Others won't try." You say looking at Drake meaning his wife.

"I'll talk to her." He said trying to be reassuring. "It won't do any good. I have heard comments of her planning to leave. Taking the boys out into the world. People are growing restless about Theo still being this monster." She looked at Tommy. Drake nodded. "I'll take care of Tonya." He countered. You nodded. "What about Alice?" Tommy changed the subject. Madie smiled.

"She is one of the only ones I truly trust to go out and have my back. She excelled at hand to hand and gun training. She will be very useful going on runs." She stated matter of factly." Now supplies. It appears we are short on pain medication and antibiotics.." She states pulling out a computer. Every Thursday someone blacksout the cameras from the lab clear to the dining hall for a good 15 minutes. And no one has caught it or is choosing to ignore it. Some think its Frank stealing meds." She continued. "No way." Drake said brushing this all off. "People have been talking about how he always seems drunk or under the influence of something. Then he goes through almost withdrawal like symptoms. Mood swings. Plus he's been complaining to Dr.Iving about extreme headaches and Vomiting. All I am asking is talk to him." She looked at Drake. "I'll talk to him." Tommy finally said breaking the brief silence. Madie nodded then left the room. "What's your deal? You act like she offended you." Tommy demanded to know. Drake shook his head. "Nothing.. Tonya she's been off since the Theo incident. She won't even be in the same room as me. She would rather put our family in jeopardy than just accept what I have done and move on.. She's nothing Like Madie. Madie is strong and willing to step in the line of fire. Tonya is weak and can not stand to let anyone be right." Drake said frustrated. "What are we to do about Frank?" Tommy changed the subject.

"If he's stealing supplies it will have to be dealt with. He knows better. He will have to be put in a holding cell at least." Drake said looking down. "Truthfully I don't know what to do anymore. I am tired of the Violence though." He continued shaking his head.

"You and me both." Tommy said looking at the Mayhem clock.

Madie and Alice geared up for heading out for the supply run. Montana, Louis, Madie, and Alice were all going on the run. Tommy walked over to his wife and handed her the list of what all they needed. With a Kiss to her forehead they left.

"There is a small grocery store on Montgomery street. Then 2 miles up on Pauls there is a clinic we can see if there is anything worth value." Montana Told Louis who is driving. He nodded in agreement. Getting to the Grocery store it seemed calm. Quiet. Montana and Madie went in first making sure it was clear. The store looked untouched for the most part. Except for the dead cashier behind the counter. Bullet wound to the head. Gun in his cold dead hand.

Alice appeared with a cart. Filling it with all foods.

"Hey I'm gonna go check something out." Madie said walking down the isle towards the bathroom.

"I'll come with you.. Tommy would kill me if something happened to you." He said starting to head your way. "NO!.. I mean its a woman thing do you really want to help get tampons?" She said smiling at his horrified face. With that he backed off hands in the air surrendering with a smile and a faint blush.

You filled the bag you had full of femine products for the compound. Then you saw a pregnancy test. And grabbed that too shoving it into your pocket. Once everyone was done loading up you all headed to the Clinic. You were beginning to relax alittle since the run to the store went so well.

Alice seemed happy to be out and doing something useful. She changed so much since the superstore. She went from weak to strong. And Phillip was a huge part of it. Alice looks at you weird.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked cautious checking her face to see if there was anything on it. "I am happy to see you so.. Alive." Madie said winking at her. Alice rolled her eyes playfully and smiled. "Me too." She whispered.

Arriving at the clinic it looked like a warzone infront. "Pull around back see if there is a door." Montana ordered Louis. We all checked our guns before pulling into the parking lot. it was quiet. and looked untouched from this side. Again Me, Montana, and Alice got out. The door was unlocked which was not a good sign Normally for any clinic.

Montana took the lead going in scoping out the hallways and rooms by the entrance. "Clear." He said motioning for Me and Alice to come in. on the inside it appeared untouched. Still clean on the inside except for a few bullet holes in the walls from outside.

After about the third room they finally ran into the storage closet holding all medical supplies. "Alice get as much as you can into these two duffle bags. I am gonna go see if I can find the Medicine Area." You said handing another Duffle Bag over to her then walking to the room next door. Walking into it you see a sign that says medication. Realizing you needed a key you look around the room. There is nothing. You pull out a small kit from your pocket and begin picking the lock. Montana walks by and looks at you curious.

"Tommy said I needed to learn this." You say shaking your head.

"Here I thought you were a rebel." He chuckled. You smirk and continue. "Check on Alice. Make sure she is doing okay. This shouldn't take long." You said getting the lock to click and door to open.

When it opens the Medication cabinet is stocked full of antibiotics and all kinds of medication the compound needs. Madie was relieved to get back in the truck but it seemed to easy almost.

"Is it always that Easy?" She asked Montana. He shook his head thinking the same thing.

Turning out of the parking lot Madie turned her head to look at Alice and all she saw was a black vehicle with two bright headlights. Then Darkness.
