INDIE

The sun rose high, sending a spotlight through the store’s front windows and smacking Indie in the eyes. She groaned and rolled over, her hip bone aching where she’d lain on it all night. Austin stirred beside her. Jack stretched at her other side. She’d slept between them. Best night of my life. But the day before had been the worst. They’re all gone. A hot sting ripped through her chest. She’d never argue with her sister again. Never hug her dad. Her brother. Missing. And Mom. Her eyes welled up. “I’ll never know why Mom named me Indiana.”

Jack shifted closer, the heat of his body offering little comfort.

“One time when I asked her, she said that she’d named me Indiana so she’d remember where she’d parked her car. How does that even make sense?” Grief and confusion twisted Indie’s gut.

“Maybe she couldn’t explain it,” Eli said from his spot on the floor.

Indie shrugged. “I’m going with the Harrison Ford infatuation story.”

“I’d buy that.” Jack groaned and sat up, rubbing his back.

Austin’s voice rumbled from his chest. “This floor has to be the hardest thing I’ve ever slept on.”

“And cold.” Indie shivered. “The kind of cold that seeps through your bones and pierces your heart.” She hoped her heart had frozen. She’d need it cold and dead to get through the day.

Cody appeared beside his superior officers to report. “Uneventful watch. We might be able to sneak out the back to stay away from the shooters.”

Austin stood and nodded, acknowledging the information. “We need to search for supplies, anything we can use.” He directed his men. “You three split up. I’ll go with Indie.”

Cody, Jack, and Eli fanned out down different aisles while Austin followed Indie.

She wandered down a row of paper products, plates, cups, utensils and such. Apparently not a prize for looters since the stock hadn’t been touched. They could use all those things, but did they really need them? They’d made do so far. She turned into the next aisle. Feminine hygiene products. Ah, this I should stock up on.

“Find anything?” Austin spoke from behind her.

“Yes.” She whirled around, heat flashing over her face. “Uh…girl stuff. Would you mind…?” She pointed a finger down and spun it.

“Turning around?” Amusement lit his eyes. “I had two sisters. I’ve seen this stuff before.”

“I’m sure you have, but you haven’t seen me with it.”

He groaned and rolled his eyes as he turned.

Indie worked quickly, grabbing boxes of tampons without looking and tossing them in her backpack. She didn’t need them now, but she would if this quarantine went on much longer. “Oops, condoms. Don’t need those.” She pulled the out of place box from her bag and slapped it back on the shelf next to dozens more boxes of the same brand and other brands, colors, and sizes.

But wait. Why didn’t she need them? She’d kissed both Eli and Cody, bonded with Jack, and Austin was currently drooling over her like the last croissant on a breakfast buffet. It would be foolish not to have any protection.
