NIGHT 15
Heather and Meghan broke off first to go to their own home, while Alicia and Chris continued on down the street. They entered the darkened abode, quickly greeted by Holly before they continued on to the living room where Katie was. The blue light illuminated her side profile as she worked diligently, packing up one of the boxes Meghan had prepared earlier that day. From a quick glance around the house, it looked bare. Anything that could be of use, from the food in the kitchen to the curtains on the wall, were stripped and packaged up into neat containers.
"Mum?" Meghan spoke up first.
"Good, you're here," Katie responded, barely sending them a glance. "There's only a few boxes left, grab those, then we'll do a final sweep throughout the house."
"So we're leaving tonight?"
"Right now," Katie affirmed, hoisting the box up against her chest before she turned to leave. "With Madison's family."
Meghan and Heather shared a confused look, but nonetheless complied, each grabbing a box and following their mother out to the rental car. Once they'd fit the supplies within the trunk, Meghan turned to Katie once again. "I know the plan was to get the Clarks onboard then ditch, but I didn't think it would be so sudden," Meghan brought up. "What changed?"
"It was like I said," Katie stated. "When the time came, the Guard would have to make a choice; us or them. The time came, and they didn't choose us. It's not safe to stay here anymore." With that, she closed the trunk and went back into the house, leaving Meghan standing stunned by the car.
Meghan made sure to grab her crossbow from where she had left it the other night in the hall closet, keeping it on her person for the final walk-through of what had been their home base during their time in the Safe Zone.
Meghan wasn't the type to be sentimental, especially over someplace she'd only been for less than two weeks. But she supposed things were different, when she was looking at leaving a secure shelter and heading out to face a world of unknown dangers.
She took a breath, bid the house goodbye, and closed the door.

Once Katie had finished packing and left her family safely within their car that she'd moved to park in the Clark's drive, she went inside to review their plans with the other heads of household.
