Back at the gate, he waited another half hour to be certain, and then entered his backyard. He wanted to go inside and collapse on the bed, but he was determined to unload the Camry first and take care of a few other noisy tasks while there were still fires and babies distracting unwelcome visitors. He could rest later.

He lowered the garage door quietly and locked it. It was darker, but there were still light from the blinded windows.

After unloading all but one plastic grocery bag in the passenger seat, Will removed the Camry’s original battery from behind the seat and replaced it within the engine. He left his good Santa Fe battery near in case he needed to jump the Camry. He turned the key and the engine cranked up instantly, settling into a continuous purr after just one rev.

Hmm. Guess I didn’t need the Santa Fe’s battery after all.

No matter. He wouldn’t have risked it anyway. Everything had worked according to plan.

He let the car run for a couple minutes, the fumes making him sleepy, and the pangs of a headache promising. When he turned off the engine, he went inside and retrieved his cell phone. In the bag he’d left in the car was an item of particular interest, and one that he wanted to test immediately—a car cell-phone charger.

Will connected the phone to the charger and plugged it in to the cigarette lighter. He turned the key in the ignition just enough to engage battery power. The phone lit up as charging commenced. He left the phone on the passenger seat and closed the door.

We’ll check back on that in an hour.

Before pulling the door to, Will eyed his growing supply horde in the garage. He now had an additional car and three car batteries that he could alternate keeping charged with the Camry which, in truth, would probably never leave the garage again. There were also several plastic gas containers in one corner adding up to roughly twenty gallons of fuel.

Good work, Will.

He shut the door and went upstairs.
