Josh's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning but this time Anthony was still asleep in my arms. I lay awake listening to see if anyone else was awake but the house was quiet. I carefully let go of Anthony and stood up. I watched him sleeping peacefully for a few minutes, admiring how the sun shone onto his face.

I decided to let him sleep rather than waking him up. He needed the rest. I dressed for the day and quietly left the room.

I ate something Kio had made previously and sat on the couch waiting for someone else to get up.

I was going to drive round and check all my traps to see if I'd caught anything but I didn't want to go alone. I waited for a for around half an hour until Noah walked in, he appeared to be still half asleep and he yawned before he noticed me.

"Oh hey Josh." He mumbled.

"Hey Noah." I replied and watched as he grabbed some water and drank it.

"Do you want to come with me to check the traps today cause it's boring when I do it myself and Griffin won't let any of us go out alone anyway." I asked him.

"Sure I don't have anything else to do today." He said.

"Are you saying that I would be your last choice?" I said clutching my chest in mock hurt.

"No!" He laughed. Griffin walked into the kitchen and stared at us both. I waved at him.

"Hi." He said.

"Hey Griffin Josh and I are gonna go and check his traps so we're taking your car thanks." Noah said grabbing Griffins car keys and his own rucksack and walking out the door before Griffin could protest.

"Tell Anthony where I went will you." I said and grabbed my own bag and walked out the door leaving Griffin to process what just happened.

Noah was in the drivers seat so I got into the passenger and we drove off.

"So when I was out with Griffin and Kio yesterday we saw like two vehicle ramps that were obviously built after the outbreak since they were made from scraps of metal and stuff." Noah said.

"Now that you say it I think I saw one of them when I was with Anthony." I said thinking back to when we were setting the traps yesterday. "Wonder who made them."

"Maybe it's those guys that stole everything from us." Noah said a hint of anger evident in his voice from just taking about them.

"Maybe. Depends if they actually came to the city or not." I said and then saw the first trap spot approaching. "Wait here's the first one." I said to Noah and he nodded and swerved to the right and stopped the car.

I got out and walked up to the trap but there was nothing there. I turned back to Noah who was still in the car and shook my head.

We drove to a few more traps but none of them had caught anything. I had expected it to be like that and we'd just have to keep coming back to the traps each day.

We arrived to one of the last spots and o got out. This one had caught something and I smiled triumphantly when I realised it was a medium sized deer.

"We got a deer!" I shouted back to Noah and he got out the car and came over to me.

"Nice." He said and then walked back to the car, he opened the tuck and spread an old sheet out. I got out my knife and started to cut the deer free. Once I cut all the ropes I picked up the deer body and lifted it to the car. I placed it on the sheet and Noah slammed the trunk shut.
