Moaning.
Silence.
“All clear,” whispered a young red-haired lad, checking the way ahead. “Let’s move.”
The two young men had been walking for some time through the wastelands, oblivious to the fact that they were being watched… stalked. Sitting in the shadows out of sight and undetected, the man sat quietly, observing, following their every move.
“Hold up mate, I need to take a piss,” said the other boy rubbing his crotch.
“Are you fucking serious?”
“Chill out man, I’m busting.”
“Just hurry the fuck up then.” The red-haired lad fired a stare in the direction of his companion, then gave a slow blink as he shook his head.
Turning to face the wall the chubbier of the two young men relieved himself with a satisfying sigh.
“Are you done yet?”
Zipping up his fly, the blonde boy tightened his belt and collected his weapon. Lifting his head he turned then nodded, his blue-grey eyes glinted in the sunlight as he smiled with satisfaction.
“You are such a bloody worry,” his friend said, shaking his head once again.
Desperate to engage the man could not bring himself to venture from his bunker, holding tightly to his companion to keep him from breaking their cover. The pair of them sat and watched as the two young men fought off a small group of creatures that had suddenly attacked them on the road.
They fought well, effortlessly dispensing with the threat without raising much of a sweat during their brief altercation. He watched as they pilfered the corpses pocketing what they found, before eventually wandering off into the distance. Their departure once again leaving him alone in the barren wastelands.
