the time being I will limit myself to helping train people with the weapons we have, are people ok with that?”
I received nods and a few ok’s.
“The other thing I would suggest is that I be taken out of the decision making process. Until we know which way this arse of a body is taking me. There are a couple of people would like to fill that position, but think one from each group would keep everyone happy. Becky, I would like you to be the old group’s person and I think Bet should be the new group’s person. Are you both ok with that and as long as the rest of you are ok with that as well.”
Again with the nods and ok’s.
I sat back down and Maddie leaned in to give me a large hug. Watching them talk amongst themselves, I felt small and left out, but it was the right decision to make considering things. Maddie looked up from my shoulder to look at me and I lifted my hand to stroke the side of her face. I sort of lost myself in her eyes when I realized that the talking in the room had stopped. I looked round and everyone was looking at me as though waiting for an answer.
“Sorry, pardon?” I said.
“I said you do understand that I will be coming to you for help and the minute that we decide that you’re not getting worse, I will be handing the reins back to you!” Becky answered.
“I think that I can say the exact same thing from my end. As far as I can see you have not only brought us all together, but you have also put the safety of others ahead of your own.” Said Bet.
Looking at Rees and then Marc they both smiled and I knew I was doing the right thing by everyone.
“Right then I will be outside helping Rees sort out the firing range.” I gave Maddie a kiss and stood up, picking up my rifle I went through the dining room, with John throwing evil looks at me as I walked outside. I was halfway across the garden when Rees jogged up beside me.
“You do know that if you had the infection you would have turned by now.” He said.
“Yeah, I know, but I have to let them feel safe.”
He grunted and we went through the fence to the firing range. We carried on setting up the posts and then the rest of the boarding at the target end of the range. By the time Marc and Dave arrived, we had got most of the boarding done, so we had them finish it. Rees and I started to dig and pile the soil that we wanted to use as the backstop. By dinnertime we had all built up a sweat and to tell you the truth didn’t want to go back in the house after what happened this morning. So I just sat down with my back against the backstop and closed my eyes. I felt something nudging my foot and I opened my eyes to see Maddie stood above me with something on a covered plate and a couple of cans of coke. Smiling up at her, she smiled back down at me.
“You mind if I sit with you?” she said.
“Babe you can do anything with me and after last night I think you did.” I said smiling. (well, maybe not everything I don’t like anything to do with backdoor antics.)
She went a lovely shade of red and sat down next to me on the grass. Offering me the plate, I took it off her and lifted the lid to see a cheese and pickle sandwich and a boiled egg. Eating the sandwich and drinking a coke, Maddie sat looking at the clouds and every now and then casting a sidelong glance at me.
“Maddie if you don’t say what you’re wanting to, you are going to burst.” I said.
“If you want to leave I will understand.” She said.
“What the hell makes you think I want to leave?”
“Well, you and Rees have been talking, he’s Army and your Ex Army. You could both leave here and be ok if you wanted to.”
“Listen, I have my brother, his girlfriend, you and my dog here. I am not about to leave any of you here, unless you don’t want to stay here.”
“I just thought with everything going on with your side and the new people, well would just understand that’s all.”
I leaned over a placed a soft kiss on her cheek and looked
