"I guess we're gonna stay..."

It was almost as if relief washed over all three of the other men. Jon knew why Craig and Tyler seemed happy with this choice, but why did Evan? What was in it for him? Jon realized he was staring at the asian man and looked at the wooden floor.

He was still unsure of how he should feel. This is what his best friend wanted and it seemed like Evan and Tyler were decent, but... they were still strangers. Strangers that mugged them, nonetheless. He thought to himself that if anything happened to Craig, he would personally deal with Evan and especially give a big 'fuck you' to Tyler.

He hoped it wouldn't have to come to that.

"Okay," Craig started, turning to look at Evan, "How about some food?" Both Evan and Tyler shifted uncomfortably. Despite the fact that they had gained some rations from Craig and Jon, they were still low. The freckle faced man seemed to notice the two's sudden turn in demeanor and chewed the inside of his cheek. He knew something was up.

"About that," Evan rubbed the back of his neck.

"We really only have what you guys brought." Tyler stated upfront. "That's hardly enough to support all of us. Not to mention that Evan over here, donated the last bottle of water to you." Tyler's piercing blue eyes moved to meet Jon's glare.

"So, this is my fault then?" Jon asked in an accusatory tone of voice.

"Whoa, we can always just go out and get more..." Evan interrupted before the tension grew any greater.

Craig clicked his tongue, "I don't know about that." He glanced out the window, squinting against the light that filtered in from the outside. "I don't know when the last time you've been out there, but it's pretty bad." The room fell silent.

Tyler unfolded his arms and took a deep breath, "If we stay here, we will starve..." More silence. "Are you fucking kidding me? We need food, without it we won't last more than a week. That means we need to go out there so how about you pussies grow a pair." Tyler spat and grabbed his hat from the side table. "If you bitches aren't gonna go out there, then I will." He roughly pulled on the baseball cap and walked briskly to the door.

"Wait-" Tyler glanced over his shoulder at Craig, "We'll go with you." At that, Jon lightly elbowed his friend, giving him the 'what the fuck are you doing' face. Craig looked from Jon to Tyler waiting for a response.

The taller male had to think on this for a second before finally giving an answer, "Just hurry up." That was all he uttered before walking out into the hall and shutting the door.

Craig hastily grabbed his backpack off the floor and picked up Jon's bat, tossing it to his friend who caught it with surprise. "I'm not going with you, are you crazy?"

"Maybe," Craig replied and stepped closer to Jon, whispering to his friend in a low voice, "I suggest that you button up because this affects us just as much as it affects them." He hissed before turning and walking out the door.

Jon stood frozen. That was the first time Craig had ever used such a tone with him. Evan stepped up beside Jon, pulling a knife out from his pocket as he got ready to face what was waiting for them outside. "C'mon, let's get going."
