Chapter 1.
The Mallrats, Ram, Daryl, Slade, Ruby and Lottie sailed away as the city was overcame by the second virus. They could hear screaming and cries for help but all they could do was hope and pray that they were far enough away from the city to not get infected. They all stood and watched until the last building disappeared into the horizon. They stayed in silence for a few moments, with a few sobs heard from Gel and Ruby. The realisation that there home and belongings were gone was setting in and everyone was speechless while the waves wept up against the boat. Trader finally broke the silence.
Trader:- So, May when am I going to get paid for saving all your sorry lives?
May:- Trader we have been on the boat for less than an hour, we have lost everything we ever worked for. Can you lay off for a little while?
Trader:- Well I expect to get paid one way or another… And soon! If not I'll be dropping you off on the next available island.
May:- You'll get paid just wait a few days while we come to terms with what has happened and gain a plan.
Trader:- You have 3 days! Then I expect to see my payment May!
Trader walks back to the front of the boat where he starts trying to decipher his maps. He wouldn't let it be known, but he hadn't got a clue where he was going. He's never really left the coast before.
It was getting dark and everyone was starting to panic as they were starting to get hungry and tired.
Amber:- Everyone, listen to me. We need a plan of action, who out of us has food?
Salene:- I managed to grab the supplies from the cupboard on our way out of the mall, it's not much just a few tins of beans and a few vegetables.
Ruby:- I have some water and a loaf of bread I managed to take. But the bread is probably flat after my fall.
Ruby glares at Ebony and Ebony looks away with guilt.
Amber:- Anything else?
Jay:- I have a few T bars saved from when I was general. Just in case of an emergency.
Amber:- Right well let's hope we aren't stranded on this boat for very long then.
May:- I'll go ask Trader if he has anything on the boat we can have. Amber he is also saying that he wants paying.
Lex:- Ill pay him alright. By throwing him to the sharks.
Amber:- Lex calm down. Who has anything of value?
Everyone stays quiet. Truth was that everyone was kicking themselves for not picking up as much as they could when evacuating. Everyone just got out as quick as they could. Most of them didn't even have a spare pair of clothes. Gel managed to pick the most up. She had brought music, hair accessories, make up, clothes. Everything but the kitchen sink.
Lex:- Gel you must have something that Trader would want? Do you have any batteries.
Gel:- No I don't hardly have anything, ask someone else Lex. I need everything I have.
Lex:- Come on Gel we need to make sure he is on our side.
Lex grabs Gels bag from her and starts to rummage through the bag, he finds nothing but girl stuff and a few batteries. He takes the batteries much to Gels annoyance and cries.
Lex:- Shut up Gel.
Gel:- There mine Lex. Give them back I need them for my hairdryer.
May:- There are more important things other than you hairdryer Gel. Get over it.
Ebony:- I don't think Trader is going to accept a few batteries, he will want food and water, and most likely fuel. How long do you think this boat will last huh?
Ram:- Ebony Ebony Ebony, you can always add a lovely bitterness to the conversation.
Ebony:- I'm only being honest. What the hell is Trader going to do with a few batteries. He's on a boat.
Trudy:- Can we all stop arguing this isn't getting us anywhere, and it's making Brady cry.
Brady cuddles up to her mum in an attempt to keep warm and hide her face from all the strangers.
Amber:- Trudy's right, May is there anyway you can persuade Trader to let us stay, we will share what we have evenly with everyone including him.
Lex:- That's stupid we won't last more than a few days.
Amber:- Longer than we would have if we stayed in the city.
May:- Ill try and see what I can do Amber but I can't make any promises.
Amber:- That's fine.
Bray Junior starts to cry in Salene's arms, Amber grabs him and walks off into the below cabin.
Trudy:- It's getting dark. I think we should all get some rest for now. We should give the spare beds to the kids.
Sammy:- I'm hungry.
Gel:- Me too.
Trudy:- I'm sorry kids, you'll have to wait till morning as we need to save the food for along as we can to make it last longer.
Gel walks off in a huff with Sammy close behind.
Jay:- Right everyone needs to get some rest and we will talk more about this tomorrow. Ruby sleep with the kids as you're badly hurt and if you need any water then get it. We don't want you getting any worse. You will need your energy when we find somewhere to get off the boat.
Ruby:- Ok Jay.
Everyone went below the cabin and found a place on the floor to sleep. Trudy, Amber and Jay made sure they slept near the kids just in case Brady or Bray Junior awoke in the night. Everyone silently fell asleep except for Ram.
Ram sneaks past the sleeping Mall Rats and walks to the back of the boat.
Ram:- What Am I Doing Here. This is not my style oh how I wish Java was still here. I can't stay on this boat much longer I need technology.
Ram stares out in to the blackness of ocean thinking about his past and how he came from being at the top of the pyramid right down to the bottom on a boat with the people who he never even liked up until a few weeks ago.
Jay:- What are you thinking about Ram? Hopefully not world domination again!
Ram:- I'm just thinking of the past Jay. How we came to this. I had a vision and it's gone to the dogs because of Mega.
Jay:- Even if Mega hadn't overthrown you, we would probably still be in the same mess. Or at least a similar one.
Ram:- I suppose your right. I should just be thankful that you Mall Rats have taken me in even though I took away loved ones and made your lives a misery.
Jay:- The Mall Rats are pretty forgiving. They look for the good in people. I can see you have changed Ram. We can make something of this life somewhere new away from the city and Mega and technology.
Ram:- That's the thing Jay. I've never been away from technology. It's what keeps me going.
Jay:- Well Ram you will just have to get by without it because they city is gone and the Techno's no longer exist.
Jay walked back below deck and left Ram to think more on his thoughts.
Ram:- I will find a way one day.
Ram sat down and just looked into the ocean. He was planning.
