Courtney woke him from his short nap half an hour later. They ate a quick meal of leftover stew and cornbread. Afterwards, Everett took a quick cat bath and went straight to bed. He was back to sleep within seconds of his head hitting the pillow.

CHAPTER 8

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

James 5:17 NKJV

Everett stretched out on the bed and ran his fingers through Courtney’s hair. She lay next to him on the bed, opened her eyes and smiled softly. As instructed by Elijah, Sunday morning was spent resting and recuperating from a tough week of getting Kevin and Sarah moved to the cabin and the previous day’s mission of taking supplies out to the cave.

Sox meowed and scratched the sheets at the foot of the bed. Courtney sat up and picked up the cat to pet him.

“I think he’s hungry,” Everett said. “As a matter of fact, I could use something to eat myself.”

“You relax; I’ll make breakfast this morning.” She put Sox down and got up.

“Wow. We should have got a cat a long time ago.”

Courtney whacked him with the pillow. “Shut up! I’ve made breakfast before.”

“Not since I’ve met you.” Everett took cover in case of another assault by the pillow.

Courtney just rolled her eyes and put her jeans on.

Everett watched her as she finished dressing. “Isn’t Sarah going to get mad about you abducting her cat? He’s slept up here every night since they moved to the cabin.”

Courtney pulled her hair back into a ponytail. “No. Cupcake is her pet. Sox belonged to the little girl that disappeared. I think Sarah said her name was Lacy.”

“Okay, then I guess it’s a good arrangement for everybody.” Everett reached out to give Sox a scratch.

“Do you think Elijah will let Kevin and Sarah come to DC?” she asked.

“I haven’t the foggiest idea.” Everett continued to scratch the purring feline.

“I suppose we should walk over to his house and ask after breakfast.”

“Okay. Plus, we never asked him what to bring.”

“What do you mean?”

“You know, guns, packs, water, food, maybe some coins.”

Courtney furrowed her brow. “Now you’re making me think about it too much. It’s going to make me want to back out.”

“By faith.” Everett winked.

She began climbing down the ladder. “Yeah, by faith.”

Everett and Courtney managed to accomplish very little else, besides eating, resting and stopping by Elijah’s for a few minutes Sunday afternoon. Despite doing nothing, the day flew by and it was soon time for bed.
