"Cass! Cass!" Maddy exclaimed as she ran over to me.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"Amy heard someone over the radio!" Maddy told me the same way she would tell someone that she won a million dollars.
"What did the person say?" I asked.
"Something about heading into Atlanta but we weren't able to contact him and then Lori and Shane got into a fight," Maddy told me and I hid a smirk from her.
"Maybe he'll run into our scavengers," I told her as we walked back to the campfire.
"I'm going to go play with Sophia and Eliza," Maddy told me.
"Be careful," I warned her and she ran off after she gave me a thumbs up.
"Hey Cass," Carl walked up to me and I smiled.
"Hey Carl, what's up?" I smiled and asked him.
"Um, can you teach me how to shoot like Maddy?" Carl asked me with a smile.
"Is your mom okay with it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, suspecting that this would happen thanks to Amy.
"Maybe but she doesn't have to know!" Carl exclaimed as I sighed.
"What will she think when she hears gunshots?" I asked him.
"That Daryl found a deer?" He asked.
"Daryl uses a crossbow," I told him.
"Please?" Carl asked, giving me the puppy dog eyes.
"Only if your mom is okay with it," I told him.
"You know my mom won't let me!" Carl whined.
"Once your mom gives me consent to teach you, I will definitely teach you but until then I'm not teaching you," I told him and he looked confused for a minute.
"What does consent mean?" Carl asked.
"Permission," I answered and he groaned.
"Look, I don't need your mom hating me anymore than she does now," I told him.
"Fine, I guess," Carl sighed.
"I'm glad you understand, Carl," I told him with a smile.
"Wanna play tag with Louis and me?" Carl asked and I smiled.
"Sure," I told him.
"You're it!" Carl tagged me and then ran off to a giggling Louis.
"That little imp," I mumbled as I began to chase the boys and they quickly scattered.
After a few hours of tag which later involved Sophia, Maddy, Eliza, Amy, and we even convinced Andrea to join for a little, the kids were worn out and after dinner, they all went straight to bed.
"Well, it seems the children are pretty exhausted," Dale joked as Maddy gave me a quick hug and then walked towards our tent.
"Thanks to Cassandra," Carol smiled from where she sat next to Ed at the campfire since I was able to "convince" Ed to move over here.
"How do you keep up with them for so long? I would probably be a dead woman by now," Lori joked and I smiled.
"Let me tell you, I'm exhausted even for playing 10 minutes with them!" Andrea exclaimed and everyone gave a chuckle.
"Years of training," I shrugged.
"Speaking of which, we haven't heard a single mission story from you and I've been wanting to hear one," Dale told me with a smile.
"Yeah, the only one you've ever told was with the kids," Amy told me and soon everyone was asking for a story except for Ed.
"Alright, someone give me a continent or a country," I sighed as I plopped onto the floor and leaned on the log I was previously sitting on.
"You've been everywhere?" Jacqui asked in surprise.
"I've been to every continent, no promises on countries," I told them.
"I've always wanted to go to Germany," Carol suggested with a soft smile.
"I've been to Germany 6 times," I told them.
"What's it like?" Shane asked.
"It's incredible, that's for sure, Neuschwanstein was incredible, just like a fairytale castle," I smiled.
"You've been there?" Amy asked.
"Yep and inside it as well," I smiled.
"Well, you have to tell us that story!" Dale exclaimed and I smiled.
"Alright, the story begins about two years ago when I get a call from my boss telling me to get my ass to my office," I began my story and soon enough, everyone was listening to the story.
This one was pretty much a filler chapter that way I can get into the good stuff in the next couple of chapters. Toodles! :)
