I know it's picking up pretty slow so if anybody has any suggestions or wants me to time skip or add stuff just let me know
Alexander looked back at the group, seeing as though everybody was more or less awake and talking already among themselves. It seems one of them tried to take charge for the most part, talking to see what they were going to do and where they were going. Others had milled around the work space, finding two interesting tools/weapons but not much else besides that. The farm had been abandoned for years, picked clean, and anything of value was most likely eroded and rusted beyond use. One person seemed to have gone to the farm house alone, which was either for good or for bad. Alexander watched him enter the building before walking away, standing and looking over the group.
"Look, it seems we all have the same general idea: We find what we can here that's of use and head of down the road. A while back when I found the safehouse I noticed this road leads west into western Pennsylvania. I don't know exactly where we're at, but I know this is a major route that we can at least follow for a decent bit. Hopefully we can find some small town or city to find more supplies. Let's see what we can find here, as I see three of you are doing. One of us has seems to gone into the farmhouse. I don't know about you, but I think we should at least look with him. Better stuff might be there." Alexander simply noted, climbing down to go meet the others on the ground floor. "I say once we check the house, we should take a move on while there's still sunlight."
Back in the house, the low growling continued to sound. Nothing moved, doors didn't open, just the low growling continued. After scrounging around, Nikolai seemed to find a small kitchen knife the size of his hand. It was a bit dull, but the tip was decently sharp, enough to stab something with enough force. He found nothing else with the quick glance, but the growling now seemed to get louder.

Okay so I lied, life kind of hit me harder than I thought. Working on the post now
@DarkwolfX37 Heh, I think this fighting is kind of interesting. I'm glad Violet came in there trying to pick a fight XD I get to be a rich pompous asshole with Ashton
Ashton simply blinked as Jennifer argued his reasoning. It seemed she did have faith in our law and society, that we could simply plea our case and hopefully things would get better. This could be true, and it was plausible none the less. But Ashton simply didn't want to stay and deal with that kind of mess. He had no family or friends waiting for him here, and his money was useless here. He hoped that maybe if he moved farther away, away from this place, he could start new. Somewhere where his money was accepted. Where he was accepted. He was running from the horrors of the past come to haunt him. Run from the declining society out to get him. He wasn't on top and he hated that.
Before he even began to open his mouth to give a reply, the youngest of the group decided to open her mouth. She was definitely more bitchy in her approach, a stuck up know it all if he ever heard one. Telling a group of adults what to do and how it is. She's not even old enough to get in the club or have a job, but she acted like she knew everything. Violet even sounded condescending, scolding him and Jennifer like they were beneath her. His bodyguard Luna seemed the only one saved from the bitch fit that occurred.
Ashton seemed visibly annoyed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he let out a sigh. Then, he just simply chuckled, dismissing the young girl. He wasn't going to listen to an underage know at all who as soon as she walked in decided to scold him. He was above her. He turned his attention to Jennifer, completely ignoring Violet.
"Look, I know that these times are hard. And yes, it would be logical that we aren't criminals and they don't have a warrant. But frankly, I don't trust people or the government. I've gotten hundreds of death threats emailed to me just this past week, I had to make a new email. I don't think people are too fond of us. I mean, I have received death threats, but not nearly this many at a time. Just hear me out. While this is all going on, the chaos, all that, we should leave before things get too bad. We don't have to go to another country or anything, but at least farther away. Somewhere we can live in peace and safety for now until this all blows over. If you are indeed right then I will personally hire the best attorneys I can find to speak out our cases to the police once we get out of the city. Frankly, either way I'm leaving and so is Luna, we have decided this. We're extending that invitation to you if you so choose, because we know you went through the same shit we did. If you decide to stay here I understand." Ashton smiled slightly, nodding his head before swiveling his chair over and sipping his water again.
"See Luna, thank you for speaking up and explaining why we chose here and not something like an office building I own armed with dozens of guards. Because we tried that, and, well, that didn't work. I honestly am surprised we didn't get bullet holes in the Lamborghini, considering the circumstances. It looks just like the other two I saw down the street." Ashton offered, gently pushing the pad of paper away from him once it was eventually his turn. There were plenty of rich looking cars there, and it's not like he owned anything that wasn't a nice and sporty car. This is where rich people frequented anyways. This was a filthy rich city. It would be weird to not have an expensive car. Taking off a license plate also would be very suspicious, considering that in itself is illegal. They didn't have time to steal somebody's car that wasn't registered to one of them, since stealing a car will give the police reason to jail them. He could only shake his head and laugh. Silly girls with their silly ideas. Teenagers will learn when reality slaps them in the face and they really don't know jack shit.
"Look, to all of you, and the young lady who happened to join us. I simply wish that we get out of the city and relatively soon. Luna and I have already made provisions to do so waiting for us back in one of my off marked facilities. I simply needed to know who all was coming or not. Now, the address I will right on this paper." Ashton said, ripping off a piece of paper. He stood up with his back facing the corner of the room, writing it in front of him. "Now since I have been to this club many times, I know that there is a camera right behind me. Usually the security uses it to look at naked woman in here, not so much for security. So, the details of where we are going to go and other specific details we will discuss at this address." Ashton affirmed, writing it on two small pieces of paper, folding them pressed down as to not be seen, and sliding them across the table.
"Now unless anybody else has any more intelligible and helpful questions or comments, I personally don't want to stay longer than I have to."

@Nytefall That's fine, I was just asking. I figured as much, I didn't know if everybody posted or not
@LetMeDoStuff Hey, god bless. I hope things get better
@DarkwolfX37 It's your turn haha
Why would you tell him off? What did he do? xD He's just trying to help

Ashton got bored, drinking a cup of water that was filled for him on the table while he awaited the other guests. He didn't know how many would show up, if at all. He was expecting at least one person, the other one that was on the news. He didn't know her too well but he did recognize her to say the least. When she walked in, he smiled, turning the swivel chair to face her.
"And you must be Jennifer, I take it? I'm Ashton and this is Luna, I'm sure you've heard of us. Please, take a seat. I don't see why we can't start a dicussion now. We're wanted for "questioning", so that means our faces are on the news for that shit storm that happened a few weeks ago." Ashton paused, waiting for everybody to sit as he went on.
"As you may be aware, the general public seems to dislike us to a strong degree. Shutting us out, saying rude things, there was even a shooting in one of my offices. It's getting scary to say the least, and they're just hating us more now that they know who we are. My business tanked, but I managed to save it by flipping it over to my Vice President. Money will not be an issue, all my assets are fine for the time being..."
Suddenly he heard a knock on the door, and he turned towards it, raising an eyebrow. "Uh, yes? Come in." As the girl walked in he glanced her over, seeing she was much too young for a club. Then he suddenly recognized her from the charity event.
"Ah, I think I saw you at the Gala. Here, you must be here for the meeting. We just started." Under normal circumstances he wouldn't be this willing to sit around and talk to two strangers, but at the moment he was desperate.
"So, as I said before, most of us are wanted informally and we're social outcasts in this city. That is why I suggest we leave, take any personal items and book it out of here. Somewhere far, I don't know where. I have a feeling leaving for a while where we aren't well known and laying low until this all blows over is our best option. I don't know how long we'll be gone but hopefully not long. I know I'm not much of a friend to most if not all of you, but for the sake of our circumstances I can only really trust the people in this room. We all went through that thing and survived. Now we need to survive everybody else." Ashton finished, adjusting his collar as he sipped some of his water. Leaning forward, he had a slight pleading look on his face.
"So what do you guys say? Is there anything else anybody would like to add?"
