Chapter 110: Watchers at the White house.
The priest could not fight them, and he could not stop them from using the church as a rest stop. He even offered them some bread, although it was stale.
Just as they said, they had food and offered some to the people in the church and the priest nearly wept. The woman with the baby actually did when Sunshine gave her ready milk in a bottle for the child.
She did not even question how the milk had been kept warm or where it came from. She was just glad that her child could sleep on a full stomach after such a long time.
As they prepared to eat a dinner of noodles and roasted meat around a fire that Siegfried started close to the doors, Nimo showed Alfred’s picture around.
"Have you seen this man?" She asked them.
They all shook their heads, telling her that they had not.
"Nobody has come around here since the meteors fell. We were having mass when it happened." The Priest looked down to hide the grief in his eyes. "Most of the survivors that were with us died in the rain that followed. We are the only ones that remained."
Sunshine looked at the group. One priest, a teenage boy two women and a baby. They were defenseless here, and when they run out of food, they would die. That was if marauders did not come upon them and slaughter them for the little food they had.
"You should come with us." Sunshine told them, locking her eyes with the pregnant woman. "You are not going to be safe here for long and that baby is not going to survive when the endless winter comes. I am not out to save everyone that I meet but you gave us some bread because you thought we lacked food."
"I will go." The woman with the baby said eagerly. "For my baby, I will go."
Another woman pulled on her arm, looking at her anxiously. "Ask some questions first. They had blood on their shoes."
Siegfried laughed. "The blood was not ours, we were attacked by some monstrous looking wolves, and we fought them off. Our boss is right; you should come with us or else something might eat you out here."
