The ground level was split up into a ton of extra exhibits. Danielle had busted into a boarded up gas station that had already been ransacked and picked up a couple of the brochures that they’d had around the city. I was mildly shocked to see that there was a floor plan on it, with a description of what was where. For a place to take over, the museum looked like it’d be a hard nut to crack, to be honest. It was built of stone, with large columns facing the entrances. Inside, there were three levels. Depending on how much they had done with the interior, there wouldn’t be a ton of tactical terrain when first entering. So I had to come up with a plan or a distraction…

And no, I didn’t want to use Danielle as bait again. She had a cut on her foot to show for it, and I was uncomfortable with how Jeremy had reacted after she’d come back. He was beside himself and I had to decide whether to act the proud father figure for Jeremy, or the angry father figure protecting his daughter. It left me all kinds of conflicted… But perhaps they could still do something to help with the distraction.

“Jeremy, what about the truck?” I asked him.

“What truck?” he looked at me puzzled.

“When I shot up those guys… was the old pickup truck still there in the middle of the stalled cars, or…?”

“I don’t remember, to be honest,” he said, “but I can go check while I’m out there tonight.”

“I told you,” I said. “I can do it. The market people know me.”

I fumed, he’d been angling to get out more and I’d stopped it, citing the dangers and his responsibilities.

“So how am I going to meet the right people if I never get to go? I mean, you’re not exactly planning on staying in Chicago forever.”

Dammit again, he was right.

“You can’t be seen with me, though. Too many people are gunning for me.”

“You ever stop to think that maybe we should be gunning for them? Make them wonder and worry themselves?” Jeremy was defiant and Danielle, still looking fresh and neat, nodded.

“I’d go too, but I think I’d cause more issues than you would, Dick,” she said.

“Yeah, it isn’t a safe place for women and children lately. It's like every asshole in the world is topside, with only a handful that are honest, decent folks.”

“So,” Jeremy said, “We need a couple more things. We’re out of canned goods, salt, seasonings. Unless you like your baked rat souffle without the special dry rub…” he let his words trail off, and I grinned.

“None of us want to eat like this,” I told him.

“I know, but it makes it taste better, doesn’t it?”

I sighed. I knew that. I knew that we’d have to do something, and there was only so much I could carry myself, and I could only tempt fate so many times a week.

“Ok. Dammit, ok. You come with me to the market, and we’ll swing by and see if that old truck is still sitting there.
