Twilight began to set in and Jax was hungry. He had managed to share what was left of his rations with Tobi and Sam, who had packed some but had left in a hurry. They had miscalculated what they would need, assuming they would scavenge on the way.
However, it was unnecessary, Jax had had a bag full of food, and he didnât want to slow down and waste any time getting back home. That meant that he was anxious to fill his stomachâ the hunger made him paranoid. He thought he had heard someone breathing in the woods when they had stopped to eat, but when he checked it out, there was nothing there. Hunger always left him feeling a little bit withdrawn and moody, so he stayed quiet for most of the journey.
Sam and Tobi filled the silence easily. Both of them knew that Jax was the strong and silent type and managed to keep both themselves and Jax entertained with their lively conversation. He felt a tug of nostalgia as they moved together⦠to be young again.
Finally, they made it to the cabin and his heart was pounding with excitement. He hadnât seen Layne in far too long. He led Tobi and Sam around to the front door, careful that they didnât see his bountiful garden.

The men there were taught to be fighting machines, and the women as well, though many of them didnât like the aggression and opted instead for homestead-sustaining things. Shark Tooth didnât care much either way, as long as everybody was getting along and following the rules.
âHere it is,â Jax said. âLayne should be right inside. Let me tell her youâre here and then you can come in. I donât want her shooting you or something.â
Tobi and Sam exchanged concerned and impressed glances. So, they had firearms of some sort. Most of the tribes had taken those for themselves and wasted most of the ammunition long ago on reckless turf wars that had left everybody bloodied, bruised, and angry. But somehow the two of them had salvaged their own weapon. It impressed and terrified them. Most people had to stick with manmade weapons at that point. Nobody had the resources to create new ammunition for guns. Those who
