As they eat, Deacon reveals to everybody that he is going to
do some scavenging the next day. Greg clarifies
that he and Jeff will go with him.
Deacon asks Jamie if she wants to come along, and they will take her
back to her house to gather more of her and the girl’s things.
Her girls begin to plead with her to go, "Please,"
they ask, as they begin asking for certain toys.
Jaimie gives in, agreeing to go only if Alicia and Lana
agree to keep to keep the girls with them.
Lana eagerly agrees. After dinner,
Greg asks Dave if it would be ok if they set up their scavenging run planning
in the observation room.
“That is probably the best place for it,” Dave answers them.
They find a folding table, and Jeff sets it up in the observation
room. Greg retrieves the maps from
Deacons truck, taking them upstairs. He
unfolds them on the table. Everyone
joins them in the room. Alicia, Jamie
and Lana teach the girls card games, while the others begin to plan the next day’s
events. Dave suggests to them that they
should start at Jaimie’s, then work their way around the block. Greg adds that they should try and find some
spray paint, so that they can mark the houses they have checked.
Dave smiles, “In the storage closet downstairs, there are a
couple boxes of spray paint.”
Lana stands up at the other table, informing them that she
is ready for bed.
Agreeing with Lana, Jaimie tells her daughters, “That sounds
like a good idea.”
Her daughters begin to whine about going to bed as they
begin to yawn. Lana then asks Greg if he
is ready for bed. Greg tells her that he
is going to stay up for a little while longer to get a lot of the details figured
out. They kiss each other as she leaves
to go down the hall to their room.
