Trudy nodded. " yep." she said. " my back hurts i hope bret doesnt run out of pills.

Bret smiled. " alright, let me know if you need anything." he walked away for a minuet then came back with a blanket. " here. i thought you may want this." he said.

Brendon frowned. "Why didn't you say something. He gave me a bottle of them for you." He dug around in his pocket for a moment and pulled out the bottle he had mentionsed. "Here ... I'm gonna go pack sone food and cloths and taken them back with us." He tossed the bottle to Trudy and headed upstares.

_________________

Trudy caught the bottle and followed his upstairs. she got some water while he got the food. she took the pills and went to her own room. although most of her clothing was in Brendon's room she went and got a few things to trade.
she then headed to bredon's room to get some of her own clothes as well as some of Brendon's.
she walked over and picked up one of his shirts that she had worn to bed a few nights back. she smell it. it still smelled like him.

we come in we meet the char
shonnalen
brendon
trudy and bret

Shonnalen has been up for hours and is on the roof thinking.

trudy wakes up she smiles and goes to brendon and wakes him up by tickling him
they are being a bit loud so bret comes and tells them to shut up.
brendon being the smart mouth he is. smarts off at him and so obviously they dont like each other too much.

trudy informs brendon that she will go trade things for food and do other things. alone.
which is forbidden for her to do. Brendon doesnt really care as long as he doesnt get in trouble. so he hands her a walkie talkie and keep the other one with him.

trudy goes and leaves.

shonnalen see's her leave from the roof top. she doesnt go after her but she will talk to her when she gets home.
she goes to find brendon.
in the meantime Brendon has gone to the kitchen and Bret is now walking up the stairs to talk to Shonnalen.
they bother head downstairs.

trudy is now at the place where she used to live and had cried herself to sleep in her parents old bed.

Shonnalen and Bret have reached Brendon and are now in the kitchen.

Shonnalen walked over to her Brother. "Where's Trudy?" She asked pointedly.

Brendon shrugged and opened one of the energy bars. " I don't know. She said she was going to go get some food."

"Why didn't you go with her? I don't want anyone leaving unless they have someone with them. Especially a girl. There are too many mobs looking for people and places to rade." She said tartly.

Brendon held up his walkie talkie, "She's got hers. Quit bugging. If she's not back in an hour I'll go look for her." He took a bite of his energy bar and walked off.

Shonnalen sighed and sat down at a table resting her head in her hands. Her blond hair normally up in a poiny tail, was down and fell in soft curls to the middle of her back. "He's such a brat." She muttered more to herself then anyone else.

Bret sat down with her. " i know." he said. he knew she wouldnt take offense by that either.
"is there anything i can do for you?" he asked softly.

"I'm afraid not ... unless you want to make some of that fabulous hot tea you always seem to have on hand." Shonnalen said looking up. It was true that she had been up for a while, but that was simply because of a bad dream.

_________________

Bret smiled. " i can do that." he got up and started making the tea.

an hour later Trudy still wasnt back. she was still asleep in her parents bed.

Brendon checked his watch and walked out of his room. Trudy wasn't back yet and he was starting to worry. He unclipped the walkie talkie from his belt and headed for the door. "Trudy ... where are you?" He said, then waited for a responce. He didn't want to, but he would turn activate the tracking device he had planted in her walkie talkie if he had to.

_________________

Trudy woke up and looked around. she thought she heard Brendon's voice. she then remembered her walkie talkie. she took it out and spoke into it. " i'm....uh...i'll be home soon. i still have to go get food. does shonna know i'm gone?" she asked.

"Yeah she knows you're gone ... and she knows you're ALONE. I got chewed out for it ... where are you?" Brendon asked.

_________________

Trudy sighed. " dont worry about it i'll be home in about 30 minuets. " she said before jumping out of bed and leaving. she locked the door behind her and put the key around her neck again.
she hurried and got the food and went home.
on her way home she got attacked by raiders. she walked in the mall crying without any food and a black eye.

Brendon met her at the door. "Hey ... " He tilted her chin up. "Come on let's get some ice on that. Shonna's gonna want to see you. " He carefully wipped the tears from her cheeks and put an arm round her shoulder. "It's alright, you're home now and we can go back tomorrow."

Trudy sniffed and pulled back tears. " i'm sorry i got you in trouble." she said looking at her feet as they walked. they walked into the kitchen to get some ice. she sat down at one of the tables and cringed. she had a few bruises on the back of her legs. she stood up and went over to Brendon. " is she mad?" she asked.

"Probably not ... You know Shonna ... she too nice to get mad. She probably only wants to make sure you're alright and tell you 'Never go out unless you take someone with you.'" He smiled. "And you didn't get me in trouble. I told her you had the walkie talkie, and that if you wern't back soon I'd go look for you."

_________________

Trudy felt relived. " ok, and thank you. it means a lot." she said.
normally she went to her parents home at night when no one knew. but today she just needed to be there. she sighed. Shonna would probably ask where she had been. Trudy wasnt sure if she could trust anyone even shonna with that information just yet.
