When the sun started setting, they located another place to spend the night. After watching the house collapse, and not up to the task of clearing a whole building, they picked a large garden shed. Once they carried out the standing racks of sports gear, the larger, outdoor kids’ toys, and the lawn mower, there was enough space for three of them to lie down comfortably while the fourth kept watch. With a flashlight and gentle fingers, James checked on Canary’s wound, changing her bandages in the process. They would be out of clean dressing soon.

“Maybe we should make you some sort of leg sling so that you don’t have to keep holding it up on your own,” Doyle suggested, remembering his earlier thought.

It was Canary who rejected the idea. “I want to be able to try hobbling on my own if something happens, and I don’t want some weird sling thing getting in the way.”

Half of their remaining supplies were eaten, the other half held back for breakfast. After that, it was get home or find a food source. Rose volunteered to take first watch, while James would cover the middle of the night, and Doyle would take the end. Canary insisted she could keep watch with a bum leg. They were just sitting inside the shed and listening to whatever was outside after all, but no one sided with her. She needed rest.

Doyle wiggled around on his bedding until he found the most comfortable position, his arm throbbing where the nail had bitten into it. Surrounded by the smell of earth, old oil, and what he took to be stagnant water from a pool in a nearby yard, he fell asleep.
