35 | the one where they found the right arm

They couldn't arrive at the camp fast enough.

Y/n got out of the car almost as soon as it stopped. It was cold, she was tired, she was hungry and thirsty, but she couldn't help the relieved smile that took over her face as she looked over the camp. It was small, people were bustling around and there were fires burning to generate at least a bit of warmth.

They were finally safe.

''They've been planning this for over a year now,'' Harriet explained as they walked down towards the camp. ''This is all for us.''

Sonya looked back at the group. ''You guys are lucky you found us when you did. We're moving out at first light. Where's Vince?''

''Somewhere over there, I think,'' someone answered before they walked away.

''Who's Vince?'' asked Thomas.

''He's the one who decides if you get to stay,'' Harriet answered.

''I thought the Right Arm was supposed to be an army,'' Minho spoke up. Y/n silently nodded in agreement — that's how she remembered it, at least.

''Yeah, we were,'' a voice spoke and everyone stopped. Vince. ''This is all that's left of us.'' A middle aged man walked out from one of the tents, making his way towards the group. ''Lot of good people died getting us this far. Who are they?''

''They're Immunes,'' Harriet answered. ''Caught 'em coming up the mountain.''

''Did you check them?'' Vince asked.

Y/n looked at Brenda, who was in front of her and breathing heavily. She furrowed her eyebrows.

''I know this guy, Aris,'' Harriet pointed at the blond. ''I trust him.''

''Well, I don't. Check 'em.''

Brenda's breathing intensified and Y/n took a step forward, putting a hand on her shoulder. ''Brenda?''

''Hey, boss . . .'' one of the men spoke, looking at Brenda as well.

Brenda suddenly gasped and fell forward, face-first on the ground. ''Brenda!'' Jorge quickly fell down to her side, Y/n following after.

''What's going on?''

''Hey, Brenda, you okay?'' Y/n asked as she looked over the girl's body, trying to find what she was fearing of. Jorge took her in his arms as she started apologizing.

''What's going on with her?'' Vince asked as he kneeled down next to Jorge.

''I don't know. Brenda, are you all right?''

Y/n's eyes fell on her leg, seeing bandages wrapped around it. Vince had noticed it at the same time and slowly pulled them down, revealing a bite. He quickly jumped back and took out his pistol. ''Oh, shit! Crank! We got a Crank!''

''No!''

Everyone started yelling, Thomas standing in front of Brenda and Minho quickly pulling Y/n back, away from the gun and Brenda. Y/n had a hand over her mouth, her eyes never leaving the bite mark.

''This just happened, okay? She's not dangerous yet,'' Thomas tried to reason with Vince.

''You shouldn't have brought her here!'' Vince yelled in Thomas' face.

''I know.''

''We let Cranks in here now, the safe heaven doesn't last a week! Step back!''

''I understand, okay?'' Thomas said, taking a step back. ''I understand. Just listen. Please. Please, okay? I told her that you could help. Okay? There's gotta be something you can do.''
