Welcome back! Here's the recap page if you missed the last episode or want to catch up on the series :)

Lucidus walked into the camp, dangerously unloading an entire clip into the air. Barry was out fishing and Jason was talking to Sierra and Lexi in his tent. Sierra and Lexi stepped out of the camp and Lexi returned and pushed Jason’s wheelchair out.

“Oh how I love seeing you in that thing.” Lucidus walked up to him, crouched down to his level and patted the sides of Jason’s face, which carried a steel and determined gaze, unaffected by the playful patting of Lucidus. “Alright!” He stood up and looked at the crowd. “Pay up!”

Barry and others walked out carrying a net full of fish.

“What the fuck is this?” Lucidus looked at the net which contained half of the usual amount they receive.

Barry didn’t reply, instead he looked at Lucidus with the same look Jason gave him. Lucidus walked around the camp, twirling his pistol around his hands. He checked all the tents, and most came up empty. He looked at the camp’s people, and there were only a few at the camp compared to how many there were the previous week.

“Where are they?” Lucidus rushed Barry and screamed in his face, the fire from his breath headed Barry’s face. Barry didn’t answer, but continued to give the gaze. “Where are they!?” He swung a punch at Barry and Barry ducked it, learning from last time. Lucidus grabbed the collar of his shirt and slammed Barry to the ground, a cloud of dust formed around his body and he put a knee on his chest, keeping him down.

“You don’t want to talk?” Lucidus stood up and Barry stayed on the ground, trying to catch a breath. Lucidus walked over to his soldiers, and one of them handed him a small dagger, one that fit in the palm of Luc’s hand. Lucidus walked back over and sat back on Barry’s chest, and leaned in close to his face. “So you don’t want to talk?” He cracked his knuckles. “Fine.” He lowered the dagger down to Barry’s face and got closer to Barry’s eye. Barry shook but kept the steel gaze.

“You want to talk know?” Lucidus got closer to Barry’s eye. With no reply, in one quick motion, Lucidus swiped, and sliced open Barry’s left eye. Optical fluids ran down the side of Barry’s face as he tried to shut his eyes closed when he screamed. “No no no.” Lucidus whispered. “Keep quiet, we don’t want to scare anybody.” Lucidus smirked at the crowd that gathered around him that was in fear, some crying, some held their hand out over their eyes, but everybody watched, and nobody stopped Lucidus, his massive frame and brutality were enough to keep their retaliation at bay. Lucidus looked back at Barry, who’s tears were now blood. “We’re not done.” He raised the small dagger into the air above his head and brought it down fast, stabbing straight through Barry’s eyelid, into his eye, scraping the bone of the eye socket.

“DO YOU WANT TO TALK NOW?” Lucidus screamed into Barry’s bloodied face. Barry opened his eyes, both of them. His left eyes was unrecognizable, it was red with a shiny liquid on top of it. All the skin around the eye was stained with blood, but Barry looked up at Lucidus, tears of blood running down his face, and delivered the same steel gaze as before. Lucidus shrugged and raised the dagger one more time, aiming for Barry’s right eye.

“Stop.” Jason interjected calmly. “They’re at a camp down the coast, I don’t know the details, but they walked that way, about ten miles.” Jason pointed to the left end of the beach.

“See, Leprechaun, your Jap friend here learned his lesson already.” Lucidus smirked.

“I’m Scottish.” Barry swung a punch at Lucidus and knocked him off of his chest. Barry stood in the sand, his shoeless feet waded through the blood soaked sand, then into his tent. About halfway, Barry dropped, succumbing to the blood loss, and a few people rushed over to help him up and drag him to the ICU tent.

“What do we do sir?” Ximena approached, her hands healed, now holding a machine gun. Her skin was dark, half-black, and she was wearing her light brown hair in a ponytail, a military hat holding it into place.

“We stay. Let them make the first move, they heard the gunshots, they’ll be coming soon enough. But for now, you sons of bitches” He motioned towards the camp “will be led by us.” He waved his hand toward the car behind him, which pulled up and parked in the center of camp, right in front of Jason’s tent, destroying the smooth pathway made for him. “Y’know, you guys don’t have it as bad as Evol told us. You’ve got water, food, and shelter, and some damn find shelters if I do say so myself.” He looked at all the sturdy and secure tents and huts. “We’ll be taking most of these for ourselves.” He tossed his backpack into Jason’s tent.

“Where’s Negative?” Lucidus looked around. “She’s supposed to be monitoring you guys. You know where she went?”

Jason wheeled his way over slowly, his wheels getting stuck in clumps of dirt and twigs. He leaned is as much as he could towards Lucidus, and with a smirk that took off his steel gaze he muttered loud enough for him to hear, “She’s fucking our men now.” To which Lucidus responded with a punch to Jason’s face, but he never took the smirk off of it.
