Were Hesh and Logan a little surprised to see their father making out with another man? Yes. Yes they were. But they kept their mouths shut. If Elias was happy, they were happy.
Eventually Elias told them and they accepted you into the family with ease and saw the visible relief on your face which made them trust you more with their dad.
Then the apocalypse broke out and while fleeing from the base, the Ghosts lost sight of you. Keegan recalled hearing you shouting for help and Elias gave him him black eye for not helping you.
After a few days of going back to search, they presumed you were dead and Elias had never been so cold.
Years went by and the team survived together and settled in an abandoned warehouse to live in. Elias had stuffed one of your hoodies in his bag and he still held it every night wishing he’d stayed by your side.
During a hunt for food, Kick, Elias and Merrick found a small empty town and immediately found the shops. There wasn’t much left but it was something. Canned foods lasted.
Then they got spooked seeing someone in the town. They followed the man and realised they’d inadvertently scared the life out of him.
“Hey dude? We didn’t mean to spook you, are you alright?” Merrick called out not realising they’d found you.
