• As the Jeep drove smoothly over the paved roads like they where just fixed up he was curious why nothing has attacked them. It was around midnight and a lot of the creatures that made humans endangered should be out by now. So why aren't they?
    As he continued to think he heard something pop. Before he could say anything another pop was heard but a lot louder. Emily woke up when two more pops where heard. The engine started to smoke and the smoke filled the car waking up Edward. As they all started to cough Jimmy pulled over the Jeep and turned it off.
    After an hour of working on the Jeep Emily ran out of patience and decided to ask.
    Hows it going?
    The ignition is fried as well as the spark plugs. For the popping i still don't know. I think that might of been the cooling fan. We also out of water. The jeep over heated. We are low on gas and oil is............... Well the oil is gone. We might have been leaking for the last two hours and i didn't know at all.
    Chances of fixing it.
    Well unless a trained mechanic comes up to us with news that a town not far form here still is up and running and it has a working car mechanics then it doesn't look good.
    Would a Mechanic be wearing blue overalls, has grease on him and is walking towards us from a toe truck, Cause if so we have one behind us................
    Jimmy turned around to see a African american mechanic look up to him laughing.
    Fry your Jeep.
    Yeah we did. We also sort of wrecked the b***h. Said Jimmy with anger in his tone of voice.
    Where you folks heading. Said the Mechanic as he looked under the hood of the jeep.
    Florida! Yelled Emily inside the jeep.
    Well you guys ain't going anywhere in this thing. How did you not realize you where leaking oil?
    I don't know. Said Jimmy disappointing.
    Well luckily I came forma town not far from here. I have a working car mechanics there. I cna fix this thing up by Thursday and have you people on your way. By the way my names Leroy.
    Well Leroy. You are technically everything i didn't think would happen to me today. My names Jimmy. She's named Emily and that's Edward in the back seat.
    Nice to meet yah all. I'll just hook you up to my tow truck and take you into town.
    As Leroy got working on towing them Jimmy sat comfortable in the front seat.
    Well?
    Well what? Asked Jimmy.
    Don't you think it's sort of strange that there's a working town with jobs still around in this hell whole called life.
    Yeah I do, But its not like we got any other choice. You saw the whole trip not one creature. These guys must have a cure or something.
    A cure?
    Or something. Said Jimmy trying to sound smart but is totally failing.
    As the jeep was being towed by the truck it took up to a half an hour for them to reach a town with a glowing neon sign with the words HOPE on it.
    Well that's something you don't see everyday. Said Emily surprised as they drove through an entrance to a twenty to twenty foot wall of abandoned cars and other metal junk forged together to make a barrier. Above their head was barb wire making a roof over the town. They where inside a dome.
    Many of the people in the town had cars to normal clothes. Children where playing happily in the streets and people wearing police uniforms patrolled the street with loaded Ak's and tactical shotguns. No one was hiding.
    Leroy pulled up to a metal building with a sign on it called Leroy's Garage. As Leroy unhooked their jeep he waved to them saying it's okay for them to come out.
    Wow. I can't believe it. This place is a haven. Said Emily as she walked out of the jeep with a smile on her face.
    As Jimmy walked up to Leroy happy to see that Emily is smiling again he gave Leroy eighty dollars.
    whats this for? Asked Leroy.
    Payment. I know it isn't much but i will find a way to pay you fully.
    Ha! Jimmy in this town we don't run off money. Everything is free. We all share it. It makes life easier that way.
    You'r joking right?
    I wish. Before the war started I had one of the main garages in New York city. I miss being the best. I miss being better then others, but here we all share and we all are the same in a way.
    What about food? Asked Emily as she walked up behind Jimmy.
    Security delivers food to everyone's house. It isn't much but it is enough to survive off.
    As Leroy walked into his shop Emily and Jimmy started talking silently to each other.
    Well what you think. Asked Emily again.
    I don;t know. It seems a little too organized if you ask me. Something is going on here. I just can't put my finger on it.
    Or it's too good to be true and you are denying its a haven we can live in. Said Emily with a smart remark..
    Hey Jimmy. Hotel is full with new people. You guys don't mind staying a night at my place do you. No. No we don't Leroy.
    Okay good. Come on in when your ready.
    As Emily and Edward walked into the house built right into the metal garage Jimmy couldn't help but look behind him and study the town for another few seconds.
