Back at the truck, Doc was waiting there with a worried Murphy. Doc would be lying if he said he thought Murphy was a caring person. As long as he knew Murphy, he never thought Murphy would ever be in the state he is in now.

It was a long time until the others arrived. When they did, Murphy jumped out of his place and walk to them. Everyone could see Murphy was in a state of panic. But why?

"Where is she? Where is Y/n?" Murphy demands to know.

The group looked back at each other. Doc looked at the group and saw that they had bad news. Even 10k didn't look the same. And Doc knew why. Because Y/n wasn't here.

Yes, at first it did surprise Doc that 10k grew that close to someone. But he only thought it was a friendship type relationship. But come to find out, 10k has a major crush on her.

But that's not all that surprised him. He found out Murphy cares for someone besides himself. Turns out, y/n had a rough life before the apocalypse and Murphy was there to see it. He took care of her when her father would do many inappropriate things to her. So, Doc can only assume that Murphy saw her as a daughter.

"You left her!? What the hell!" Murphy yelled bringing Doc out of her thoughts.

"We didn't have a choice," Warren said hoping to calm Murphy down. But it only pissed him off more.

"What! So you just left a girl who is probably terrified of what they might make her do! And you," Murphy yelled looking at 10k, "I never should have trusted you with Y/n. If she even has one nail missing Ill make sure you won't die by a Z."

This surprised everyone. The Murphy they knew was a selfish bastard who didn't care for anyone but himself. But he was yelling at 10k about y/n. What was happening today?

"You think I don't care about her!? Do you think I just wanted to stand by and watch that man grope her!? Well, guess what, I wanted to kill all of them!" 10k yelled back.

Once again, this surprised all of them. The guy who was usually silent was yelling at Murphy. Today is just a weird day for all of them.

The group was just sitting there watching them fight. They were all just speechless. Even doc.

"Then why didn't you?!" Murphy yelled back now glaring at 10k

"Because if I would have shot at that man it would have hit y/n!" 10k answered now up in Murphy's face.

"You son of a bitch," Murphy said a little bit calm. But truly was flaming with anger.

"Alright people, are we going to fight? Because every minute we sit here and fight. The less chance y/n and Cassandra will be alive," Warren broke in, stepping in between Murphy and 10k.

"Why are you defending her?! She's the one who got y/n into this place," Murphy said angrily

"Because, even if she tricked us and lied to us, no girl deserves a cruel of a punishment," Warren answered

"Oh, so what. It's just a girl's thing now," Murphy asked angrily

"Yes," Addy and Warren said in unison.

"Fine, but I'm leaving. Don't follow if you don't want to," Murphy said while walking off.

"Where you going," Charlie asked Murphy

"To get y/n," he answered

"Well, come on. We got a job to do," Warren said while getting in the truck.

—to the girls—

"Momma is so much happier that you're here," Tobias said as he started to play with Cassandra's hair

"Get your damn hands off of her," I said trying to sound as scary as possible.

Tobias just glared at me and walked over to me. He then proceeded to grab my chin and lifting it to face him.

"Now now now, that isn't a way to talk in front of Momma," he said

I could say anything back because he put a cloth over my mouth to prevent me from talking. This is so flipping stupid. This guy acts like he's doing something amazing. While in reality, he's just killing people and sexually assaulting these women here.

Tobias was interrupted when the Korean guy who grabbed me walked in.

"Got some fresh meat in trailer two. Looking for something exotic," he informed Tobias.

Tobias looked at both of us. It was like we were choosing to send out there. His eyes then landed on me.

"How about you give it a try, Rose," Tobias called me by the nasty name he gave me.

I just glared at him. The Korean guy then untied me and brought me to the camper. I'm scared to death. Walking in memories started to flood my mind once again. I can't do this. But I have to. Why? Why does it have to be me? I guess this is my cruel faith.

I step into the trailer. When I closed the door, I turn to see I man I wanted to see the most.

Doc??

I was so excited I jumped to hug him. Surprisingly, he looked like he was dressed nicely.

Immediately I pulled him into a hug.

"Doc! You don't know how happy I am to see you," I whispered

"Me too. How's your knee," Doc asked letting go and looked at my knee

"Hurts like hell. It's to the point where I'm limping," I answered

"Don't worry kid. The others will be here soon," Doc informed me

I smiled at this information. I never thought I would be so happy to finally see Murphy.

—30 minutes before doc arrived—

The group was trying to contact citizen Z. Addy was able to make contact with Citizen Z they requested a favor.

"We need you to look up Y/n L/n," Addy said just to understand how y/n was so calm during their stay. Not know you were reliving your nightmare.

"Y/n L/n," Citizen Z said again, "oh wow, she's a real catch."

10k heard that and got pissed. But didn't show it.

"Okay. Does it say anything about her," Addy asked

Everyone was looking at her with a 'wth' look. But Addy didn't care. She wanted to understand you better. She wanted to be someone you trust the most.

"Umm yes, Y/n M/n L/n, born in 2002, she'll be 18 this year, and she's single. Oh she's single," Citizen Z repeated

"I'm going to blow his brains out," 10k said understand his breath.

"Okay thank you. But we need you to play music," Addy said

"Okay. Get on my radio station when I give the signal," Citizen Z said

"Alright," Addy said before putting the radio up.

—back to the present—

Well, after the whole fake having sex, doc shooting someone, and teasing Tobias. I heard music? What the hell?

"That's them. Come on y/n let's go get Cassandra," Doc said

I put my arm on his shoulder while help me walk. Damn, this knee is killing me. When we got to Cassandra, Doc sat me down while he untied Cassandra.

When the truck busted through the gates, it was amazing. Haven't seen anything like that since- you know what it's better if you don't know. Anyways, Doc helped me up and I wrapped my arms around his neck and Cassandra's neck.

We ran as fast as we could. We could have probably gone fast if I didn't hurt my knee. I need to stop getting hurt all the time. But anyway, we got closer to the truck and I saw 10k shooting anything moved behind us. Addy and Mack were off to the side also shooting anything that moved. When we were was closer to the truck, Murphy came and helped me get on the truck.

He then ran back into the truck. Anyways, once all of us were back in the truck, Charlie took off. In a matter of seconds, we were out of there. And thank god. Now I just need to get clothes.

Once we were out of there, I was getting hugged none stop. First was Doc, then Murphy, after that Addy, and I'm sure 10k tried to give me a hug but Cassandra pushed him out of the way. I didn't know she could do that. Impressive.

After the hugging party, Doc took a look at my knee. He said that it isn't healing and it's bruised. Probably because they kicked my knee and I landed on it. Doc put clean bandages on it and gave me some medicine for the infection.

Once that was done, I laid my back against the window. I just wanted to sleep this pain away. And the whole damn apocalypse. After a few minutes, the darkness of sleep drowned me into slumber. Just wanting to sleep for the rest of the apocalypse.

Hey guys, I realize that I'm rushing the 10k and reader's relationship. But I really didn't want to wait. And I'm sure some other people agree with me lol. But anyways, each episode with have for chapters to it. That way each chapter won't be under 1,000 words and some of you guys like long chapters. Yes, this book will have more adult themes them some other books. I mean, the world isn't sun shine and rainbows. Anyways, I wanted to thank you guys for all of your support! And if you have any questions, just ask away! And I want no hate towards the book or anyone who reads it. Or I will personally report you and mute anyone who is bullying. I hope you guys enjoy this book! Stay safe!!! Bye!!!! I love you guys!!!!😘🤍😍
