When morning came, I awoke to the sound of white noise. Across the other side of the room Ryland was fiddling with a small battery-powered radio. It crackled and static came through but not much else.

“There should be some message being broadcast. Anything to tell us the state of what’s happening,” he said.

I rolled over. “Maybe people didn’t get a chance. Give it some time.”

“Time. We don’t have time. I need to check in on my folks, and then we need to find out where everyone is heading.”

“Heading?” I asked.

“A place of safety,” Tobias said. He was still laying on his side. He pawed at his eyes and yawned. “Even if this shit storm has blown across the states, there has to be somewhere people are going. A government safe place and whatnot.”

“Raven Rock, Mount Weather or Greenbrier Resort?” Eli said climbing out of his sleeping bag. “At least that’s where the president would go.”

“Yeah. That’s for the president, not you and me. The average Joe would be shit out of luck,” Tobias muttered stretching out and cracking his head from side to side.

Eli rolled up his sleeping bag as I was getting up. “They wouldn’t just leave society out in the cold.”

“Oh wouldn’t they?” Tobias chuckled to himself. “I bet you also think they would have penthouse suites, three-course meals and an endless array of food for your tubby stomach.”

“Tobias.” Brooke shook her head admonishing him.

He threw up his hands. “I’m just joking. God, you people need to get a sense of humor. Now where’s the bathroom in this place? I need to take a leak.”

Alexa came into the room, she’d been the last one to take a shift. She bumped into him on the way out and he slapped her on the ass. “Good job, princess. Glad to see you can be useful.”

Big mistake. She shoved him against the wall and pressed her elbow into his throat.

“You do that again, and I will…”

“Whoa, I was just joking.”

I got up and headed over and pried her away from him. “Why don’t you keep your jokes to yourself?” I said glaring at him. The tension in the room could have been cut with a knife and we hadn’t even had breakfast. I didn’t want to imagine being on the road with these people if we were forced to seek out some kind of sanctuary.

A few minutes later, Tobias yelled from upstairs. “Hey guys!”

“Just ignore him,” Alexa said.

“Guys.”

I threw up a hand. “I’ll deal with it. Grab yourself a bite to eat and we’ll head out in about ten minutes.” I figured by now we’d be able to get a good view of the devastation in the town. If the screams in the night were any indication of what had taken place, it wasn’t going to be pretty. I jogged up the steep staircase and made it to the top.

“Tobias?”

“In the kitchen.”

As I rounded the corner my mouth widened. Earl was slumped over the table, his head in a puddle of blood, some of it had trickled over the edge creating a small pool near his feet.
