11. What year do we have?
The door guy sat on the big red leather couch, there was fire in the fireplace and the window frames were nailed up with boards in different colors, probably from some furniture. The door guy was big with a crew cut and wheat colored skin. He took a deep breath "My name is Nick, this is Lilly, there are 3 Guys and 2 girls who didn't want to be with the rest, they are one floor upstairs. There is a child here- his parents are not... Then a middle aged lady, 3 High schoolers- they wore the same school uniform but don´t know each other. An older guy and 2 adults about 30 years old. The men went outside, looking for food and water, the survivors are fifteen, now with you seventeen of what we know. If there is light then they go outside, sometimes with the High schoolers, the older people are here in their own rooms, the High Schoolers are together going their own way, so no idea where they are."
"Can you bring everyone in the living room who is in this apartment?" Hunter asked.
Nick gave him a contemplating look and then nodded. After a few minutes came a middle aged lady- brown grey short hair, and brown eyes, thin with a short stature. The other older guy had silver framed glasses, which was just a emty frame. A child about 7 years with chubby cheeks was there too, he wore a shirt that was originally for an adult, and a black vest above it.
They nodded at each other and Jack said "I bring the people from upstairs." Before Nick could warn him he had already left. Hunter noticed his hesitation and got curious.
When Jack knocked on the door a young black haired woman opened him, she was a real beauty. Her eyes lit up when she saw him and a lewd smile plastered her face, making her a bit unattractive for a moment "Hey handsome....." something was off at the way she talked.
"Could you all come downstairs to talk about the situation?" he asked.
"Mhmmm." She hummed while giving him a once over, she went back in the apartment with an unsteady step. Jack hadn't thought that someone would drink or do drugs in this kind of situation, but maybe that was her escape from reality. A massive guy came to the door, he was packed with muscles and shirtless. "What?" he grunted. Jack took a breath and repeated "Let's talk downstairs with the others about the situation?"
"Na boy, go away before you make enemies." He grunted as he looked down at the youth. The woman from before peeked out behind him "Why not Lenny? Let's see what they want and taaalk." She purred like a cat. Lenny sighed as he had an indulgent expression, he patted her head and the frost from before was blown away. "Get Casper and Dale and we go." She got the others, a skinny long haired guy in a baggy suit, the other a handsome blonde man.
They both didn't talk to Jack as he led the way. When they were back they all took a seat in the room, Lenny stood behind the couch- protective of the black haired woman.
"Hello everyone. Please tell me what year it is." Hunter earned incredulous looks from everyone and the long haired guy gave him a deep look and giggled. He was the first to answer "2028."
"Is this a joke? We have 2033" the old man with the destroyed glasses scoffed.
"I don't remembeeeeer." The black haired beauty slurred and winked at Jack. She got a few looks, especially from the men. Lenny positioned himself before her and gave a death stare at Jack who shrugged helplessly. Hunter observed this exchange pursed his lips.
"1999" the middle aged woman whispered, she began trembling as she looked at her hands and cried out "I knew it! I knew it! These are not the hands of a young girl! Why, why is this happening!" She began crying and Jack recognized her as the hysteric woman from when he woke up the first time. She screamed "I am twenty two years old!!" Everyone stared at her in shock.
Lilly whimpered and stood up to hold the child in her arms to bring him back to his room.
Hunter stopped her. "Boy, what year we have, you are big and know that already, right?" The little scared dumpling looked at him with big eyes and nodded lightly.
"2035"
