On the main road through town, Skye spotted movement up ahead. She drove closer and saw her neighbor, sweet old Mrs. McCleary. Memories came flooding back. Mrs. McCleary making sure Skye was settled in her house okay and bringing over baked goods warm from the oven.

What was the elderly lady doing out here by herself? Skye gasped when she took in the woman's condition.

Confusion covered the old woman's face as she turned this way and that as if trying to get her bearings. She held one arm stiff by her side, and the other flailed around seemingly without direction. Her mid-length white hair tumbled in a dirty snarl over her shoulders. Her usual pristine clothing full of holes and soiled with dirt streaks.

“Oh, no!” Skye slowed and pulled up beside the woman. There was no recognition in Mrs. McCleary's eyes as she shied away from the vehicle. Once the Sick were at this stage, sudden noises disturbed them.

Skye was close to the road leading to Emergency Services. She did an abrupt U-turn and pointed the car in that direction praying she could find some aid. On arriving, Skye and Jesse saw only an empty building with a large note on the front of the door telling everyone to go to Fenton for help.

Just as I suspected. Fat chance of that happening. Fenton is in ruins.

Skye glanced at the office again and wondered if Doctor Kinder and his family made it out of Fenton. She ran a hand through her hair. Skye didn’t want to leave Mrs. McCleary by herself in her condition but what else could she do.

She turned and drove slowly out of town. A town that that took her in, a town where everyone helped everyone else. It pained her she was leaving someone in need. It could have just as likely been Skye wandering around on that road. It almost was her.

Her mind flashed back to the day she and Dylan were scavenging. He’d told her he helped the Sick by giving them water and food. He left it in their path with the hope they knew what to do with it.

Skye hit the brakes. She asked Jesse to get two bottles of water while she leaned over the seat and dug around in her stash for a couple of protein bars.

"Uh, what are we doing?" Jesse grabbed the water and looked from them to her.

"What we can,” Skye found the bars and turned back in her seat. "It's not much, but we are doing what we can."

She swung the car back the way she came and stopped a few yards from Mrs. McCleary. Skye jumped out of the Jeep and ran closer to the woman.

Behind her, Jesse said, ”I don't think this is a good idea."

Skye called out to Mrs. McCleary. The woman stilled but didn't turn to look at Skye.

“Mrs. McCleary?” Skye held out the supplies to her hoping she would understand. “I will leave you some water and protein bars. I know it's not much.
