"Just give me a laptop and a bottle."

I continued driving but we have nowhere to go. Devon and Zoe fell asleep at the back.

"SQUEAK-"
"Ouch!!!! My ears hurt.", I said angrily.
"That's only from the computer. It's not yet 100% loud, or through the bottle. Do you have headphoes or anything here?"
"You can search it at the small storage bin in the room"

The car stopped. I guess we're out of gas. We'll just have to sit here. Until the creatures are gone, with all the zombies.

It's 2 in the morning. Everyone's alseep. I went outside for a while. Sat beside the car.

"I'm sorry... Max and Hugo. Max, if you're hearing this, I.. I'm in love with you. For a long time. I never said it. I was afraid you'd reject me. I missed the times we were together. Sometimes you do act like a girl. And... Sorry for everything."

I sat on the steps of the van. Staring into the deep blue sky.
Everything is changing now. I thought to myself.

David came out too. He said he wanted to make coffee and try to do more research about those creatures.

We both went outside and chatted a bit while the kids are sleeping. I put a note,
Use the computer that's connected to the bottle in case that creature comes. And I also wrote If I'm gone, its up to you to save the world. Everything you need is in the van. I left that on the small dresser in the bedroom.

"So, what do you work as?"
"I'm a therapist. Devon is my patient, but she's homeless so I take care of her now. Zoe is my niece, ever since my sister died due to a cancer."
"Must be hard living alone, huh."
"Yeah. Especially when Devon has schizophrenia."
"She has it too?"
"You have it?"
"Yes. I was treated and now I'm fine."
"What treatment did you use?"
"Basically since there's no cure, I meditate and sleep early. I avoid drugs and now I'm okay."

"SLING-"
