All these good people around him, they didn't deserve that. They deserve better... when a team needs a leader, you stand up, straighten your shoulders, and do what you have to.
Not always what you want, but what you need to do. For others, for the ones who matter. His mom taught him that, in her life, yeah. But even in her final act! He couldn't forget that.
A woman who spent her whole life.. doing things for others, and not cause she wanted to, but because she needed to. Some people think, that you have to do those things, because it's your responsibility right? Your requirement..
But that's not true, there's always a choice. Even when the option is bad. You can choose to stand and help others and yourself. Or, you can give up. His mom didn't, he wouldn't, he only had a sliver of a dream, that at the end of all this, he could be happy.
Whatever that means for him?
So he walked to the cabinet of the kitchen in this home. He Grabbed a bottle of Bourbon, and he poured it into a shot glass until it was full. He downed it, in one swig.
He looked down at his hand, it shook. Only his hand, nothing else..
"Zach, what do we do now?" Jimmy asked from behind, still standing near the door.
He thought for a moment, and gathered the only answer he could think of.
"We move forward, when the time is right, we'll find him" Zach spoke.
He gazed to the painting on the wall, it was of someone falling into an empty abyss. It reminded him of a certain moment. That painting.. Banana Barbara.
Wait, BANANA BARBARA!!! She painted.. everything that happened in the future! Maybe, she knew how this ended?? It was a solid idea. But for now, he'd keep this to himself. Until he could gather everyone else up, To share this idea.
"It's what he would've wanted." Zach blankly told him. Jimmy looked down in disappointment but also a sense of common understanding.
Jimmy stood there, observing the beauty of the
Midnight blue sky. Reminding him a lot of his mother's favorite dark blue dress. But it also reminded him of a bad place in his life.. one which started as a special moment, turned into.. probably the worst night of his life. But he couldn't look back. No. This time, he'd look forward.That's when he saw it, a gigantic circular object? It Was crashing down through the sky!? It caused a ripple through the atmosphere and a burning cosmic glow. The giant rock looking thing, crashed into the groans, causing a small earthquake!
Jimmy stumbled over a recliner and fell back.
Zach looked at Jimmy asking him what happened, Jimmy was in minor distress but he pointed up at the sky.
"I saw a weird object falling in the sky!" Jimmy picked himself up off the ground and walked closer to the window, then he gave Zach a look of shock, before he could reply.
"I knew it, this happened in my dream.. follow me!" Zach dashed out the door of the house, pulling Jimmy's arm behind him.
Both following the strange occurrence in this world.
At the scene of the object, there was 5 people in the group of our heroes that had ventured on to check this out. The group as a whole thought it might be best to send the "most strongest" of the group. Since Zach wasn't there at the moment to guide them.
In case this turned out to be extremely dangerous.
Notlok, Remi, Irene, Nightmare-ball, and Darny, all were the ones who had walked to the scene. Along with Pure Darwin. Oddly enough? Who.. followed them out. Even tho no one explicitly said he should go. He just complained and went.
