We cleaned out the remainder of the intruders, their bodies scattered everywhere. We were going to have to dispose of them later. If later ever came. The alarms were still on, buzzing through my ears, it was distracting. There were still intruders surrounding the outside of the plant that wanted in, they weren't friendly. Approaching from the distant Tommy was running towards me nearly bashing head on into me.

"God, mind out Tommy" I spoke with annoyance.

"Ellie-"I cut him off. All I could think of what he was going to say was about earlier or about the fact I had lied. To be honest I didn't want to talk about it, I wanted him to leave it be. What was done was done and that was that, nothing could change and in honesty I couldn't give two shits I had lied and I didn't want anyone especially Tommy telling me I should have done something different. We all knew and had to face facts that there was only one way we could have made it out alive from the hospital.

"Tommy I don't want to talk-"

"No, you're gonna want to hear this, she's run off with the others" He scratched his head. "Tough kid, you know she-"

"What the hell do you mean she's gone off with the others?" I held my rifle tighter and brought it closer.

"She's gone to help my men, guess she never listens huh. I get it your angry and she shouldn't-"I gave him a hard shove nearly dropping him off his feet, guess that should have proved to him leave me alone. Fuck Ellie, why don't you ever listen, I swear to god, if something happens she won't hear the end of it.

"Hey, she knows what she's doing she's been with you for how long and how about her looking out for you when you got hurt, she can handle herself Joel, nothing will happen"

"And what about if the fireflies found us again, what if I didn't kill all of David's men" I gave him a stern look, he didn't understand what it was like to lose a child, hell he didn't understand how to look after a child. That's what Ellie is a child.

"Joel I doubt it, you're being paranoid now-"Ryan came running in front of us waving his hands around.

"Joel, Tommy we need to get a move on move of those bastards have somehow got it we need to hurry before innocents die".

"Yeah Ryan we're coming, Joel we done here?" I simply pushed past him walking off, I couldn't deal with him sometimes, and I needed to find Ellie.
