My eyes wondered to Max, I don't know but I think my feelings for him was fading in such a short time and it makes me feel bad. During the night chat we found out Bollar was a sailor and Zed was a nurse, Bollar had been in a meeting when the plague started and one of them was infected, Bollar managed to escape from the city and went to get his wife from the hospital and son from school before it got out of hand. They heard about the military base use as evacuation centre but it was miles away, the highway which was a faster route than the town has the highest risk of infected human and blockage with so many cars, those who took the highway earlier to get to the military base were caught in traffic congestion and unknown to them , three passengers were infected and managed to turn the highway into a zoo of undead. Bollar and Zed retired to bed, Clara also went to sleep leaving the rest of us alone. "I wish we could find my parents earlier " I said hugging my leg to my chest "don't worry, you will see them once we get to the vault" Jeff said patting my back "what if they are not in Catlock" Jennifer asked and silence followed, I hadn't thought of that, what if they are not in the underground house, what if they are not in the city or dead or worse part of the mutilant, I never thought they could be at the evacuation Centre because I knew my parents would never leave Elle and I alone . No one replied to Jennifer's question as we were all scared of what the answer might be.

"It will be better and easier to take a camping bag instead" Jeff said to Bollar "we have none" Bollar replied, Clara had helped Gideon to pack necessary things, five bottles of water,some canned food, a med kit,three clothes, she wanted to make things light for him since he was going to use a backpack instead of a camping bag, Zed and Bollar also packed their things, we clipped Bollar's car to the school bus in case he still wants to go to the military base , once we get to Catlock we will spare him fuel, Cain and Elle were already waiting in the bus along with max who was checking if it's in good condition for the six hours trip.  Zed stood in their living room looking around the house "this place has been my home for years" Zed said as she wiped her tears. The time should be around 8am when we started the trip, we all ready our weapons in case of any attack, I have my sword strap to my camping bag and an arm length knife in my baggy pant pocket, Max and I took over the roof for back up. I couldn't help  quivering at the thought of not finding my parents in Catlock, I could hear Elle telling Cain how awesome our parents was.....Jeff turned on the radio, it was said that New York has fallen but Canada is still under lock down and quarantine, Paris is under attack and so far three evacuation centre has been formed in the past few days and the center are still radioing people_survivors to go there. There was no news from LA, all connections has been lost, no one knows if LA is safe or fallen which is why the man channeling from the evacuation center has advised not to try to get to LA. Max has gone to the bus to take over Michael's position in driving while Jennifer joined me "do you think Bollar and Zed would want to stay with us in Catlock?" Jennifer asked "I think he very much prefer going to evacuation centre" I replied "were you guys serious when you said we would spare some fuel" Elena asked as she joined us, we nodded to her in yes "we will need the fuel,what if their is an emergency!" Elena nagged "there is enough fuel in Catlock,my dad has some stored in the underground garage and he won't mind sparing some" I replied irritated that Elena was against the idea of helping Bollar family,not wanting to chat anymore with her I got down from the seat I was standing to see Jeff and Bollar discussing  "I was thinking if Bollar could spend some days in Catlock along with his family so that we could teach them some survival tips" Jeff said "I'm sure mom and dad won't mind having them over" I replied with a smile before sitting beside Zed and Clara who are discussing about pregnancy I wanted to doze off but sth was keeping my eyes open I don't know why I can't sleep....then I saw it WELCOME TO CATLOCK
