The Dawn of Resistance Ch 2.

When we arrived at the checkpoint we rummaged through the trash and garbage, looking for anything of use, as in, water, food, clothes, practically stuff that will help you survive in a post-apocalypse wasteland. By the time we actually started finding some valuable items we herd a feint ringing noise. We all knew what that meant and we exchanged worried glances knowing we were all thinking the same thing, RUN! Bullets weaved past our heads, legs, arms, practically anything that might slow us down/ kill us. These were IT's elite scouts, sent to places almost certain to have humans, a.k.a Checkpoint A. When we came back to the burned down Walmart/Base. I couldn't help but notice that one of us was missing and by now we all knew what that meant. Faces of grief and sadness filled the room. What made me feel worse was that I knew it was bad idea but  was to cowardly to speak up and if I did that would have made all the difference, that man wouldn't be dead, his family if he still had one wouldn't have to grief, worst of all more people would have hope. This was it I couldn't take it anymore, I didn't care of I was going out of line, I didn't care if I was acting out of my place, heck I didn't care if I was being foolish this is the last time i'm going to stand by and let another person die and do nothing about it. So I climbed up on a checking counter and yelled-
"Hey! Are all of you just gonna take in the fact that a man just died, that a life just ended, that all his hopes and dreams will never be accomplished!"
"Matt what do you think your doing!" John hissed.
"What needs to be done" I replied. "I know that deep down you know that its not right, that something needs to be done! That cant happen if we just hide and live off scraps!"
"Better than getting vaporized or killed fighting back!" A man from the crowd yelled, coward. Unfortunately that started some whispers in the crowd.
"So we let them pick us off one by one or wait until the world runs out of scraps? Or we could fight take back our world from those, those FREAKS!"
I honestly didn't think that would aspire much if any confidence but to my surprise the whole room let out a cheer that went on for full minutes.
