Getting in to their vehicles, they leave to return to their homes.  As Deacon pulls into his garage, he watches the garage door close in his rearview mirror.  He begins to replay the last thing that Will had said to both Trent and him.  Deacon begins making a mental list of what he thinks he might need.  First, he goes to his gun safe.  He opens it and retrieves his guns, being cautious to conceal them in backseat of his truck.  Next on his list is the ammo.  He gathers it and takes it out to the garage also.  Deacon locks the safe back up leaving several guns behind. He takes a backpack out of his closet he begins packing clothes, along with any other gear he might need.  After making sure that everything is packed into the truck, Deacon goes back inside to watch the news. 

As he sits down in his recliner, his sister Sara calls to see if he had heard from Tom yet.  She hadn’t heard from him, nor could she get a hold of him.  He tries to reassure her that everything was going to be fine.  She tells him that she feels like it wasn’t fine and that it would not be fine. 

“Deacon, I’m really worried!”    

While Deacon had been talking to Sara, a public service announcement had been issued ordering everyone should stay inside their homes.  To compound issues rioting and looting had already broken out down town.  He was a little surprised by how quickly chaos had ensued.

“That’s humanity for you, taking an advantage of someone else’s weak moment,” he mutters.
