Watching the End of the World – 20
Two hours passed and Nate woke up Akila and went back down the ladder. Tony was no longer in the warehouse. Tamara and Jordynn were sprawled out on the couch and the love seat. Tamara was snoring. Caleb and Santiago were the only ones still awake.
As Nate walked into the room, Caleb gripped Santiago���s hand fiercely. In his other hand he was holding his rifle.
���We���ll show those wankers,��� he said, his words slurring. ���They come again we���ll give them what for.���
Santiago banged the butt of his rifle on the table. ���Gonna shoot them some new assholes.��� He was slurring badly too. There were two empty bottles on the table between them and a glass that had been tipped over.
���There���s nothing������ Caleb stumbled over his words. ���Nothing we can���t do, the two of us, so long���s we stick���stick together.���
���That���s it, hermano,��� Santiago replied. ���That���s it.��� He saw Nate standing there and waved him over. ���Hey, come join us. Have a drink, a drink to kicking ass.���
���I���ll pass,��� Nate said. Santiago said something derisive but he ignored him and went to find a bed.
