Sara attempts to put her kids to bed and her daughter begins
to cry. She tells her mom that she cannot
go to sleep without her doll. Deacon
hears the commotion and goes into the bedroom.
Sitting down on the bed he wipes his niece’s tears, telling her that he
will go to their house tomorrow to retrieve her doll. It takes more convincing, but Deacon and Sara
finally get the two children asleep.
Sara and Deacon return downstairs to watch more of the news coverage. New reports are beginning to come in about
isolated attacks around the city but it is unclear if they are related to the
attacks on the military installations.
The next morning the entire family wake up to have breakfast
as a family. Tom is still missing. Deacon offers to go out to look for Tom. Frank offers to go along with him, Deacon
respectfully declines. Frank knows that
Deacon is using this as an excuse to clear his head, as Deacon had become
somewhat of a loner since Katelynn’s death.
Deacon retrieves his pack, hugs everyone goodbye and genteelly closes
the front door behind him. As he climbs
into his truck he breathes a sigh of relief, as he is not used to being back at
home with his family. He loves them all, but they can be a little overwhelming
at times. Deacon reaches for his phone
sitting in the dash console and calls Greg.
He asks him if he and Lana would like to go along and help him look for
Tom. Greg explains that they had not
left the house since the attacks and it might do them some good to get out. Deacon informs him that he is already on his
way to their house and will be to there in about ten minutes.
