The Ultimate Warrior Page #2

anybody can say.

It's that man that was

at the library.

That's Carrot.

He's always there...

...always waiting

He looks very sure

of himself.

Lots of years since I've seen

things growing like this.

It's Cal's doing.

You think it's smart to climb four

flights in your condition?

I know what I'm capable of.

I came here to say hello.

Hello

The man they call Carrot...

...I saw him

through your bioculars.

We introduced ourselves.

He's tough.

Good organizer

He can call on 30 or 40 men

if he has to.

Should be able to take you over...

...wipe you out.

Obviously - but I don't think he knows

how few people we have left.

He'd like to have our well.

You know - looking at your people,

I get a feeling they figure

they won't last very long.

There's a certain fatalism.

They look to me for salvation.

There will be none.

You see, we've been

doing something here

Well, I say "we"

- it's Cal actually.

He's the man on the roof.

Look - there are other communes

but none has a Cal,

that I have heard about

He's a genius

with things that grow - seeds.

Hybred seeds

So far just odd crops...

...squash, cucumbers,

soybeans, stringbeans...

...and now, Cal believes, tomatos.

The crops are resistant to all the diseases

that wiped out cultivated growth

during the plague.

You're going to give up

on this place.

You got me in here

just to delay the end.

I've been looking for a man...

...who would combine

several attributes.

You are a fighter.

But more important -

I see in you an instinct

for survival.

You seem to make all the correct

moves - intuitively.

A few people are going to be leaving.

Cal, for one.

And I'm asking you to lead them.

Where?

An island I've heard about.

No, we wouldn't hurt any of

the people living there.

But we've got something we

could give to them.

Who else would be going?

You've probably seen the

pregnant girl, Melinda.

She's my daughter.

She carries my grandson.

Or granddaughter.

Have you seen Barrie?

She's not in her room.

Your wife went out

about an hour ago.

Went out?

Did she have the baby?

Yeah, she wasn't going to stop

for anybody.

Take it up! Take it up!

Barrie!

I heard a sound, so I hid.

Where's the baby?

Where's the baby?!

Take him out of there.

We've got to go back.

No! No!

I know where the milk is!

Let go of me!

I'I do it myself!

If I help you, will you leave?

Yes!

We've got to leave.

Even if we don't find any milk,

we won't keep looking.

We've got to take the

baby and go!

I promise!

There's no mistake, Baron

someone's been stealing

from the garden.

And Cal told you this?

I looked for myself -

it was the tomatos.

It had to be one

of our own people.
