Considering how much Claire uses the map, one would expect her to know the city like the back of her hand by now. She was always marking it, keeping track of where they had been, with the help of Adira of course, and making notes in between missions. Even now she was looking at the spot they had once called safe and placed an X over it with her pen. There were so many markings and notes on this map that it looked like soon they would have to break into somewhere and get another one. It was hard to read in some places, but some of it was also intentional. The places where they were absolutely certain were lost had been scribbled out with a thick marker. It had been Adiraâ€™s idea to do that to prevent people forgetting and heading into those sections.<br/><br/>She listened to everything that Adira was telling her, as she always did whenever they went over the map together. In a way this was sort of like their bonding thing. â€œI was thinking the same thing. We donâ€™t want to be close to any of our old locations.â€ Her index finger followed where Adira had suggested and she tapped the map a few times, just to keep on the same page with the group. â€œWe should set up here, itâ€™s far away enough from the heart of the city and is close to an area we often go for supplies.â€ It would be risky trying anything else by this point and she did not want to argue. â€œThe infected seemed to like to stick to the heart of the cityâ€¦ why havenâ€™t we thought of this before?â€ Her brow furrowed in thought while her gaze was transfixed on the map.<br/><br/>When the group first formed, a lot of people had either forgotten or ignored key things, thinking they were fine, and ended up dead by the hands of their own stupidity. Ever since then every precaution necessary was taken to ensure that nobody repeated those mistakes.<br/><br/>That had also been Adiraâ€™s idea, and eventually she had even taken over making sure everything as was safe as it was going to be for them. Not that she blamed the girl, she was doing her best to contribute to the group, to the best of her ability, and she was going a good job. Claire would be the first to admit that Adira did a better job than everyone seemed to give her credit for. She might be a weak link, but somehow that kept the group balanced enough to where everything justâ€¦ worked.  It was nice to hear her speak up once in a while; it took weight off her shoulders whenever she did. This was one of those situations where she was not sure where they were supposed to go. During their last move, when they first were chased out, she had been so sure they would have been safe there.<br/><br/>As soon as they arrived at their new spot, hopefully their permanent home, she would rather not move again, everyone gathered their belongings. Claire was the first out of the hummer. â€œBefore we get too comfortable, I want to make sure weâ€™re alright.â€ She said suddenly as she pulled her gun out of its holster and, keeping it in front of her, went alone to take a look around. She had not decided to go alone on her own volition entirely; as a leader she felt that she needed to as part of keeping everyone safe to the best of her ability. The place seemed pretty secure but she really did not want to take any risks. Compared to the other areas of the city, this one was pretty clean, definitely untouched by the infection. As much as she didnâ€™t want to think negatively she knew there was a chance that their safety wouldnâ€™t last long.<br/><br/>â€œAll clear!â€ She informed the other group a few minutes later, gesturing for everyone to follow her inside. When everyone was inside, she spoke up again, â€œWe have a lot of work to do, but I think we should just call it a night and deal with it in the morning.â€ To be honest she was completely exhausted and was sure everyone else would rather get this done in the morning. Well, all but Tina maybe, she was always checking and double checking almost as much as Adira does. There was a lot of stuff that needed to be moved around, what they brought with them only added to the mess. Whoever had been here before seemed like they had left in a hurry; it was cluttered and would definitely need some cleaning. However, there was enough space for them to place their things for the time being.<br/><br/>Sleeping bags were set out and several candles were lit, then the place started to feel more like home.<br/><br/>Usually she would get to work on things right away, just to be on the safe side, but she wanted everyone to rest after everything that has happened today. She would rather have people were well rested organizing and making plans than people who were sleep deprived.<br/><br/>Claire was not going to say that they would â€˜maybeâ€™ find some answers; tomorrow would be the first step they made to finally getting some answers. Thinking back to when she was watching the monster that had once been Brady being consumed by the flames, how fast he had turned, and how everyone else was sick of this she was more than determined. To the best of her ability she would lead this group as she always did and they would take down Excelleron once and for all. But she did still have her doubts and wondered if their rag-tag team would be enough. She truly did not want to believe that they were the only ones left out here. If there were more survivors she wanted to find them and bring them into their little group. She had hope, hope that the people could take back the city and perhaps rebuild it.<br/><br/>It only made sense that, if they were standing up to fight, they should be united, destroy the source of the problem, and perhaps build the city over. If they made it out alive and could salvage anything that is
