James stood at the front door and gripped the handle. It turned effortlessly and he pushed the heavy door open into the cool air conditioning of the house. "See? Told you."

Owen laughed as he watched Duffy run back and forth through the yard like a giant canine yo-yo. "Uh, James, how are we going to get him to stop?"

"Here, Duff!" James yelled. This only caused Duffy to change course and run closer to them but he kept going. They all took turns calling him but it didn't work. Then Jack had an idea.

"Do you have a bag of dog food here?" he asked James.

"Uh, I don't know. I don't know if my dad bought any. We kind of grabbed Duff on the fly." James went into the kitchen and started looking through the cabinets and in one he found a large fifty-pound bag of dog food. "Man, my dad prepares for everything," he said. He scooped a bunch out, filled a bowl and walked outside.

"Here Duff, FOOD!" he yelled, shaking the bowl back and forth trying to make it as noisy as possible. Duffy heard this and spun around. When he got close enough, James grabbed his collar then dragged him into the house with Jack right behind him holding the food bowl.

The USB cable for the game camera sat in plain view on the kitchen counter. James let go of Duffy then grabbed it and held it straight up in triumph as if he had just pulled the sword from the stone. But their celebration was short lived.

"What are you talking about?" Owen asked.

"Well there's no internet out here. We're in a dead zone, remember? No internet, no computer. No computer, no USB port and no pictures!"

James smiled. "Well, not actually."

"Okay, now what are you talking about?" Owen asked James.

"Well, my dad does have internet out here, but I told you guys he didn't because I didn't want to get in trouble for using it and have him take it away from me. But, that was before all this happened."

"Great! So, where's the computer?" Owen asked tapping his foot impatiently. "I've been waiting too long and been through too much already to see these damn pictures."

James went into his dad's room and on the end table next to the bed sat his laptop. He picked it up then returned to the kitchen. He sat at the table, flipped it open and then powered it on. Jack and Owen watched as his excitement deflated in front of them.

"Oh, what now?" Owen yelled and then slumped into a chair at the table.

James shook his head and pursed his lips. "His laptop is password protected and I don't know it."

They all deflated simultaneously. Defeat is a heavy weight and they were ready to tap out. All of the effort they had put into simply trying to see the pictures on the game camera had been a waste.
