Together, they had put down the rest of the security around the house. Once they had cleared the yard, Wyatt and Alice decided to get the children moving before more backup arrived.
Alice had kept her eye on the main road, expecting the rev of motorcycles coming from the main house at any moment. But luckily, they never came.
As she and Stefan had done before, Wyatt and the other children stuck to the shadows. It was slower getting around, but they stayed close and had only run into a few people as they made their way across the slums.
The eastern border of Autumn was about a mile past the abandoned clinics of the slums.
These were the only buildings within the slums that were well and truly abandoned. Any doctors of worth had been moved closer to the central city. Those that had tried to help the residents of the slums often found the residents were more desperate for drugs and warm bodies than the aid they offered.
