Two hours later, we have the garage empty, the shed boxed up and loaded. Before we start on the house, Dad comes out to find us.

“Did you two want to eat something and take a break? You’ve been working nonstop for hours now,” he says as he approaches the almost empty shed.

“Wow. I had no idea this thing had back walls.” He reaches over to give me a hug. “Looks great, honey. Your mom has omelets and bacon fried up.”

“Sounds good. I’m curious about the breakfast menu, though,” Haley says politely.

“There’s a good reason. We needed to clean out the refrigerator just in case we’re not able to come back, and there’s no point in wasting food,” Dad explains.

“Touché, Mr. Bates. I don’t know why I’m even asking questions. It’s a meal that I didn’t have to cook. Lead the way.” Haley hooks her arm through my dad’s and lets him escort her into the house.

I’m happy to see some of the weariness leave my dad’s face, and I can only hope it will continue to evaporate once we get back to Jackson Mountain.

A frantic knock at the door interrupts us as we settle in around the counter since the table has been used as a defensive item against the sliding doors.

Dad opens the door to Dawson, with Cole right behind him.

“Turn on the TV,” Cole demands. I hurry to comply as we crowd around it.

“Breaking news. The military is headed for the city of Memphis due to an overwhelming crisis that arose this afternoon at the hospital. They haven’t given us the details yet, but we do know that the local police are not allowing anyone to be brought here. All emergencies are being rerouted. They are recommending that everyone head home early and stay inside this evening.” The reporter pauses to listen to a question being directed at him.

“We still don’t know at this time if the military is going to declare Martial Law, but considering the rumors we’ve been hearing from other cities where this infection has spread, it’s a good possibility.

“The recommendation is that everyone please approach anyone who is showing signs of sickness with caution. This infection is transferred in the same manner that the AIDS virus back in the ’80 s was. This virus can be transferred through blood, bodily fluids being exchanged, or in this case, a bite from a carrier.”

“Did he say bite?” Haley looks incredulous.

“I can’t believe they would say it on the news. They’re admitting how it gets passed around.”

“Shh!” Mom motions all of our attention back to the screen as a helicopter view is shown of the rapidly approaching tanks.

“We need to leave now. Haley’s trailer is full and so is the one out back. We only have to carry out the food from in here and we’re set.” I put things in motion, not wanting a repeat of the incidents that we’d had on the way here.

“Mom, can you put the food in three separate containers so that we can eat on the road?” I pray that she’ll follow through, but I can’t worry about it now.
