Chapter 1
Manhattan, the people in New Jersey said this was the best place on the East Coast, they said it had everything there and it would be perfect for an Scavenger like myself, so I could not turn that offer down. I was driven here by a man named Bredy Jones he was the Mayor of the settlement I lived in back in New Jersey but that part of my life was behind me. It was a two day journey to get here and we almost ran out of gas on the way here and Bredy did not have enough to get back so before I could start my new life in Manhattan I would have to find some gas for Bredy and assuming the rumors about this place were true it would only take me an hour.
"Bredy you stay at the entrance of the tunnel I wont be to long"
"Alright Mike but hurry up"
Bredy was like a brother to me he cared for me and helped me start my Scaving carrer and without him I would be nothing. I wandered around the streets seeing a few random people walking the same as me but when I tried to greet them they looked at me in fear and ran away I did not know what was going on and it was quite strange but I ignored it and continued on to find a gas station. About a half an hour passed and came to one but there were some people infront of it that were in strange masks and they all had metal rods, they were circling a man in nothing more then shorts, no shoes and no shirt. I crouched behind a giant peice of rubbel and peeked my head to see what was going on. I could here them talking.
"Do you not know that it isn't safe to wander the streets at this time"
"I, I, I ha-had to to get food"
"Well you shouldnt have came out BOYS SHOW HIM THE PUNISHMENT ON DISOBEYING THE CURFEW"
"Will do boss will do" This man started to burst out laughing and lifted his metal rod and swung it down on the mans head the other men did this too. They were all beating the man to death with this long thick metal rods I could not watch anymore it sickined me but I could not kill them I only had a .32 Pistol on me. Just then it came to me I came out of my cover and the man was on the ground dead and the killers were all laughing at him, I pointed my pistol at the gas pump and shot three times. The Gas pump exploded and the three men went flying through the air and hit the ground with a sick thud. One of the mens skulls smashed open on impact and his brains were all over the ground.
I then just realized that I had destroyed the place that I needed to get gas from and know I would have to search for another one and Bredy would not be happy.
