their vehicles to get away on foot. Now it was like a car graveyard. This was the quickest route back though. If we were to avoid the place it would be nearly twice the distance. I convinced him it was better to go this way and get back quicker, mostly because I really didn't want to walk an extra few miles.
    "It might be worth it Andi." Will tried to convince me to take the same route back that we had come from, but I was unfazed. I had walked down this road many times before and wasn't afraid now. Zach, Amy and I had gone through the cars on this road to see if there were any supplies we could use ages ago.
    "It's fine Will. This way is much faster. Don't be a baby."
    "Yeah Will, don't be a baby."
    I didn't even realize the voice was foreign until he had his dirty arm around my neck with a gun to my head. My bow hit the ground when he grabbed me. I tried to struggle free but decided against it when he cocked the gun, letting me know he was serious.
    "Now Will, I think you better drop the bow unless you want your little girlfriend to have her brains splattered all over your face."
    "He wasn't kidding." A second voice came from behind Will.
    Will's face drained of color as he lowered the bow. The jerk behind him took the bow as well as the bag with the guns, ammo and knives we had brought for hunting. He was a lot bigger than the one with the gun on me. Not someone Will or I could take down without weapons. Hopefully they would take what they wanted and get lost quick. It wasn't the first time I had been robbed since the world went to shit. I had heard stories of the things that could happen to a person out here but luckily the worst thing I had ever lived though was having my stuff stolen and being knocked unconscious.
    "I'm Lucas. "The one holding me spoke. "The big guy over there is my cousin Bo." His breath was hot against my neck and smelled of cigarettes and filth. "You two staying around here?"
    "Look Lucas, we don't want any trouble." Will tried to reason with them. He kept his eyes on me as the big one walked around him to get closer to me. Bo reached his filthy hand out to touch my hair, running his fingers along the length. I tried to struggle but Lucas pulled me tighter against him. "Just take what you want and leave." Will tried to sound confident but I could see he was scared shitless. The color was gone from his face. He just stood there watching, not doing a damn thing to help me.
    "That's exactly what we intend to do." Bo smiled at me. His teeth were stained and he was missing one top front tooth. He pulled a zip tie from his pocket and fastened my hands together while Will watched helplessly. Bo pulled a knife from his boot and pulled me by the hair to him. Lucas released me to his cousin.
    "Be seeing you Will. Thanks for the stuff." Lucas took the weapon bag from Bo and pointed the gun at Will. "I wouldn't recommend following us, unless you want Bo here to slit your girlfriend's pretty little throat."
    This couldn't be happening. My brain tried to wrap itself around what was going on. My feet moved following them, despite my brain screaming for them to stop. Will stood there frozen watching them pull me down the road backwards. I thought for a moment, he would have a plan. He would find a way to stop them, something. I don't know what I expected him to do. They were both bigger than him and they had our weapons as well as their own. I guess part of me just took for granted that this boy I hardly knew, who had saved my life twice before, would somehow find a way to make it a third. As I was dragged down the road and behind the mass of cars, watching him stand in place, doing nothing, my faith in him left. I could feel my heart breaking in two, not only from whatever terrible fate awaited me with these animals, but for what I was being pulled away from. The thought of never seeing Will again somehow seemed so much worse than whatever they could do to me. None of that mattered anymore though. It was clear; Will
