<span style="color: #0000FF"><span style="font-style: italic">Ella saw Aria's arm, and was about to ask what happened when Emmet did just that. She nodded, as if to say 'Yeah, what happened?' She also saw Emmet pass her his drink instead of Ella's. '<span style="font-weight: bold">Man, this dude is all over her. We are definately having a talk later.</span>' She thought to herself with a smirk. "Oh, and Aria. I needed to talk to all three of you guys about something." She said matter-of-factly. They had to get down to some serious business. "Aria, we are really running low on food. I just checked yesterday and we had hardly enough to hold for one month." She said quietly, not wanting any nearby kids to hear except them. All she needed were other people worrying and getting stressed out. "I was thinking perhaps I could go with you."<br/><br/>Then, Ella turned to Emmet. "You know the pipes are acting up, and if we can't get them working right we have to start hauling a ton of water from the well so everyone can survive. I was thinking perhaps we could make our own kind of system. With your help of course, perhaps we could go to some abandoned houses and get some supplies, try to make a system so we can get water flowing in easily without having to go all the way down to the cliff for it." She suggested, hoping they could figure something out. "Oh, and since your a scout, I really need you to double your patrols and be extra cautious. Bring someone out with you who could scavenge food while you look around town. Maybe Aria? I am really getting worried about the lack of gang attacks lately." <br/><br/>Finally, Ella turned to her brother. "Kyle, as much as I need you to help Emmet and I, I would much rather you examine the perimeter in larger circles. A larger area. Do something different and change some stuff up. Anyone who could possibly be spying on us needs to get the hell away." She said and winced at her language.</span></span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00"><span style="font-style: italic">Kyle nodded as she spoke. She was really on top of things, noticing what he didn't. When he heard what Ella said, he reached over the table and punched her in the shoulder hard. "Ow!" She yelled, and Kyle just looked at her sternly. "I know I'm older than you, but your still only fourteen. No cussing." He said.</span></span>
