Cameron left Stafford to rest. Brody joined her as she made her way outside. The crowd had all left the area, appeased that they would get some answers at the meeting that evening.

“I need you to go pack up enough food for everyone to get something to eat tonight.” As Cameron spoke Brody’s face contorted in surprise.

“That will nearly wipe us out,” Brody said in shock. Cameron nodded acknowledging the truth of his statement.

“Don’t take any of the energy bars, or the granola. Also, leave the peanut butter.” Cameron said listing off the things she wanted to try with the replicator. “And a case of water.”

Based on what Drac told her the night before, the replicator could duplicate all organic matter. She wasn’t sure if that was true when it came to processed foods or not. She had so many questions that needed to be answered.

“Okay,” Brody said, confusion showing in his tone. “You’re sure?”

“100 percent,” Cameron said, with conviction. Even if the replicator didn’t save them, they were going to go out with full bellies.

Brody left her, heading in the direction of their secret supply cache. Cameron kept moving toward the back of the shipping yard. She knew it would seem like they’d successfully found the supplies on the raid, and she hoped the goodwill she earned from the food would buy her their allegiance until they could start feeding people with the replicator.

As she got closer, Cameron’s eyes welled up with tears at the smell coming from Drac’s container. She pulled the key off the ring on her pack and opened the lock. She worried for a moment that the fumes might have suffocated him and felt a slight bit of regret for putting him in with the fertilizer.

She opened the door slowly letting the light filter in through the cloudy air. She unlatched one of her pistols not knowing if Drac would try to surprise attack her. She opened the door a little further, not seeing him directly in front of the opening.

For a brief moment, she worried he’d somehow escaped or that someone let him out, but her fears were assuaged when she saw his small form seated on the floor of the container on her left.

He was sitting with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. His cuffed wrists were placed lightly in his lap, his fingers intertwined. A low humming noise came from his mouth, uninterrupted by breath. Cameron was unsure how he kept the noise up for so long without breathing.

She cleared her throat loudly and the humming noise faded out slowly. Drac came to as if he were coming out of a trance.

“Sape.” He said flatly when he finally opened his eyes, putting emphasis on the last letter almost making the word two syllables. The hatred burning there was scorching. Cameron loved to see it. She felt the same way.

They stared at each other unblinking for a few moments. Cameron itched to put a .45 caliber bullet through his left eye but thought better of it.
