Chapter 25

Daniels walked around offering everyone more bottled water. It took about five minutes for them to go from starving to stuffed. The plan was to start moving again, but their bellies told them it was time for a nap. It wasn’t safe in the city. It would be safer to take advantage of the daylight and move out in five minutes. There'd be time to sleep when they got out of the city. Daniels reached in his shirt pocket and pulled the phone out again. It hadn’t rung, but with the cellular networks sporadic service, a message might have been received without the phone recognizing it. Daniels hit the home button. There were no new messages. A searing twinge of fright shot through his body. The thought that they hadn’t answered because they were dead, made him weak in the knees.

“Knock that shit off,” he thought to himself. It had to be the goddamn cell service. It didn’t work that well before all this started. He wasn’t about to let shitty service get to him now. He scrolled down to the last message he sent. Below the text bubble it said, “Delivered.” All the messages above it all said, “Read.” There were a thousand reasons why he wouldn’t have read it. Daniels ran through them in his head. Maybe they were on Interstate 87. There’s no service on that road. That had to be it. He touched the text bubble; the keyboard rose from the bottom of the screen, “Ty. We made it to Bryant Park. We’re heading for the tunnel. Please reply when you get this, pal. I’m worried about you. Love you. Dad.”

Daniels hit send and followed the delivery bar across the top of the screen. The phone dinged when the message finally sent.

“It hadn’t made that sound before.” Daniels thought. “Maybe the previous message didn’t send after all.”

The most he could do now was to hope for a quick reply. Ten minutes later he found himself still staring at the screen.

“This is ridiculous,” he said aloud.

All eyes in the room looked at him.

“What did you say?” Bunker asked.

Daniels put the phone back in his pocket, “It’s time to go I said. Everyone on their feet. I’ll be right back.”

Daniels left the solarium and went to the employee break room. Earlier, when he was clearing the building with Bunker, he stumbled across a lost and found clothing box. With a little luck, maybe he could find something to carry the food. He rummaged through the box. It didn’t take long for him to come across a couple of student's backpacks. With the number of kids that came to the park daily, there was no doubt they’d leave their stuff behind.

Daniels hustled back to the café after finding the packs and tossed them to Ceci and Kaden, “You guys stuff those with some food and water. We’re bound to be hungry again at some point.”

Destiny stood up waiting to help, “What do you need me to do?”

“You’re my navigator, goose.
