The Survival Haven truly was a haven, even if I hated to admit it. The trek across country for my daughter appeared to be a lifelong dream mission of Alex Sans, one he had been planning for his entire life, but just didn’t know. Making his way across the barren world. Although that didn’t surprise me from a man who started a business called Survival Haven.

Between him and Beck we were covered. Alex had everything. He pulled out maps and charted where we could run into problems. He checked the vehicles for road worthiness and got them ready. He packed two extra car batteries, had a small gas-run generator which would be used to power up a pump, a pump specifically created by Alex to retrieve gasoline from gas stations.

As long as there was a gas station, power or not, we’d not run out of gas. He packed up food, protein bars, water, medicine and those thin space age blankets that Bill was in awe over.

There was a lot put into that van. I hadn’t a clue what all was there.

I’m sure Alex did.

We would leave my SUV behind and take the trip with two vehicles. A small car and the conversion van which would be used more for carrying supplies.

While both Beck and Alex stated that we could probably find what we needed en route, it was better to bring it just in case.

But out of all the nifty gadgets and things that Alex packed for us, I was the most grateful for that old-fashioned radio system.

Bill was deemed radio man because Alex called him the tech-ru, short for technological guru. The radio wasn’t working quite right when Bill sat down with it, but damned if he didn’t get it working and we not only received a signal, we spoke to a man in Northern California.

It was a short conversation, but the man assured us that out west, as rumored, things hadn’t yet fallen apart.

That was good to hear.

But that was California. I needed to know about Seattle.

The weak signal we had on the phone two days earlier had diminished.

No more speaking to Jessie.

I was in the dark about my daughter and could only hope that like California, Seattle Washington was holding its own in the dark days we faced.
