Note to Andy
Andy,
Kyle's finally caved and agreed to leave with me. I can tell he doesn't want to though and I have half a mind to tell him to just stay here, but he'd never let me go out on my own. Despite the fact that I'm more than capable.
I'm sorry I've been... not around lately. It's funny how we all promised to always be there for each other, to always stick together whenever things got rough and now... Well, you know as well as I do that that's not exactly what we've been doing, huh? At least I know I haven't. I'm sorry for that. Leila was the glue that kept us all together. She always was better at that than me.
We'll probably be gone for about a week, week-and-a-half tops. We're headed to Kyle's garage, but I'm going to try to see if I can possibly slip away to scavenge for food. God knows we need it. And I know you're bored shitless without something good to cook. I'll try to find you something better than rice and beans. Promise.
Look after everything and everyone. Take care of the boys - if you can find them. Especially Jace. He tries to deny it, but he cares about you like a brother and if he ever needed his brother, it's certainly now.
I hate to put the entire Outpost on your shoulders and leave you with all this responsibility... Maybe I'm being selfish, I don't know... But I know you can handle it. You're a lot stronger than you think you are, Muppet. Give yourself a little more credit. And do me proud. I know you will.
Be back before you know it. A fact you'll hate, I'm sure.
Amanda Shortstack
P.S. - I love you. I don't say it enough and whenever I do you cringe, but it's true. I'll love you forever and a day. Which is a long long time, you know.
