have to get a move on. There’s so much to do. Are they going to stay here?”
“Yep sure are! G-dad thinks it’s the best move.”
The timer goes off and I get up and head back to the kitchen, grabbing the biscuits out of the oven. I sit them down next to the stove. Nate and John walk in and grab some plates. “Hey guys, make sure you leave some for Tabby. I’m going to let her sleep for now.” The boys load up on food and head to the table. I’m not really hungry but I know I had better eat something in case there’s no time later. Sitting down with the boys we all say a prayer over the food. Looking at them I think they have grown up so fast in 24 hours, it’s just crazy.
“Ok guys here’s what we’re going to do today.” They all look at me waiting for their instructions.
“Liam and John move the two RV’s into the back yard. On the left side. Drain some of the gas out and hook water and electric to them. Nate and I will be running down to G-dads to get the other two and drive them here. They will go in the back yard as well. When Tabitha gets up, have her put three chickens in the crock pots, and peel potatoes. We will all be hungry tonight and will have some of the family here as well.” I pause. “And tell her to have a salad prepared too.”
“Ok mom,” Liam says. “When we’re done with all that, I’ll put up the cameras and make sure they are working. Plus convert the garage into a command center. Mom, I really used to think you were crazy making that bunker room under the garage but now I’m so glad you did. And all the food and drinks. We’re going to need all that stuff now.”
“Yes we will babe and I think it’s a great idea for the garage, it’s the perfect spot for it, we got the stairs going up on the roof and a pot belly stove for heat if we need it out there. All you have to do is set up the tables.” I am so proud.
“Ok guys let’s get a move on … everyone knows what they’re doing?” They all nod in agreement. “OK we are wasting daylight. Liam, John, DO NOT let anyone in unless it’s family. It’s everyone for themselves and we have to think about us first and the family. Liam, leave the dogs inside so they don’t get in the way. Oh and stay armed at all times. You never know if you will need it and it’s better to be safe than sorry.” I glance at Nate. “Ok Nate you ready?”
“Yep Mom let’s roll!” Nate says.
We leave via the front and head out shutting the door behind us. Stretching, I look up into the sky. God it’s amazing, not a cloud in the sky, just a crystal blue. The sun is hot this morning it’s going to be a scorcher. I take a deep breath and smell the smoke lingering on the wind. I can hear the birds making a fuss. Under any other circumstance, it would be a wonderful morning. But nothing’s going to be normal anymore. Looking over at Nate, he’s looking around getting ready to open the gate so we can go for our run down the road to my Mom and Dad’s house. It’s about a mile and a half. It will be a good run. I just hope that we don’t run into any trouble. Those things are close you can almost smell the rot coming off them. Stepping outside the gate we both look around.
“Well Mom it looks clear!! Ready?” Nate asks.
“Yep let’s do this. I hope Hank has their stuff packed up and ready.”
We start to jog down the road. We pass the first set of houses, they are all on the left side of us. On the right there is a hay field. Nate points over to the hay field. Looking over I see two of those things. They are walking towards the burning house but I think they have seen us because they turn our way. Nate reaches for his gun, never slowing down.
“Nate wait! Hold off for a minute. I don’t want the shots to attract them, besides we’ll be G-dads in a few minutes!”
Nate nods his head but keeps the Glock in his right hand and keeps scoping the field. God, I needed this run, my lungs are stretching and it feels
