Deacon agrees. They come
to the marina By the time Greg gets out, everybody is awake. Lana walks up to
Deacon, she hands him a small cooler. She
tells Deacon that she packed them a lunch and that they had better be back by
dinner time. She gives Greg a kiss and
then takes a step back. Looking him
straight in the eyes with a worried look on her face, she tells them both to be
careful and to make sure they both come back safe. Both Greg and Deacon reiterates that they will
be fine.
Greg straps
on one of the pistols and grabs a 7mm rifle and instructs everybody to stay
inside. Everybody nods in agreement.
Greg looks at Deacon who is strapping on his pistol and tells
him, “Let’s go.”
Deacon grabs his AR and walks out the door. Greg follows him. Both of them get in the truck, as they embark
on their adventure. The island is about
a half hour drive away.
On the drive out Greg is quiet, Deacon glances over at Greg,
“What’s the matter with you?”
Greg stays quiet for a moment before he lets out a little
sigh, “Nothing.”
“I’ve known you my
whole life, it has got to be something,” Deacon abruptly states.
Greg begins to explain that he is afraid of what they will
find, and that he is scared that they will not be able to provide for
everybody. Deacon agrees with Greg’s
fears but tries to reassure him by reminding him that they are the only chance of
survival for these people. If anybody
can do it, they can.
