Early the next morning Deacon wakes up to thoughts of the
island swirling in his mind. He goes out
to the garage and starts rummaging through things. Greg joins him after about a half hour, he
looks half asleep.
“What is with the racket?”
Greg asks rubbing his eyes.
Deacon tells him that he is packing some supplies for the
day. Checking to make sure that flash
lights work, he then puts them in a duffle bag.
He wonders around gathering tools and other items that he finds, putting
everything in bags. Deacon pulls on a
pair of boots, and then takes the bags out to the truck. As he comes back into the house, he goes to
his bedroom, and knocks on what used to be his bedroom door. Jaimie invites him to come in. He opens the door, peeking his head in. Jamie and the girls are still in bed. He quietly informs Jamie that he needs to grab
some clothes. Deacon is careful not to disturb
the sleeping girls, creeps over to his closet to retrieve what he had come
there for. He then slinks back out the
door, shutting it softly. He goes to the
spare bathroom, and showers. He then goes
to the kitchen to get something to eat. Just as Greg passes him carrying clothes heading
toward the spare bathroom.
As Greg passes Deacon he tells him, “I guess we had
better get this show on the road.”
