"If we could find a van like that, we are definitely never giving it up." Honestly living in a van would probably be the easiest. They wouldn't have to worry about collecting all of their belongings when they had to pick up and leave. Besides, most of these houses were bound to fall apart from lack of care. They were temporary spaces, which led him to believe that a year from now it would be likely that they wouldn't see Lorraine and them in the same home. If they came back – he hoped that they were able to get to the Isle and live out the rest of their days peacefully. Though, it occurred to Jacob that they could very well split the moment they got to the island. He didn't want to feed into thoughts of her sister not being alive. Jacob could tell by the look on Ash's face that not finding Nicole would crush her. And then what? He'd made peace with the possibility his siblings, his parents were dead – he'd already lost his fiancé. But for Ash . . . it didn't seem that easy.<br/>

"We're strangers in these parts. How long do you think before they figure out that we don't belong, and we must be the people they were shooting at?" It's not like they were tourists in a big city. "If those men listen to a women over us I would be highly surprised." Jacob regretted the words out of his mouth. They weren't exactly the most sensible nor progressive. But society <i>had</i> regressed. There were outlaws on bikes taking the law into their hands, shooting at them . . . they didn't seem completely unreasonable, but what made Lorraine so important to vouch for them and her option actually matter? "We'd be better for getting Carl or Vince to vouch for us. I have a feeling they've done some underhand dealings with the gang that their wives don't know about." Jacob thought back to the strange dents in the bags they carried – they were too big to be game, squirrels or whatever else they could capture. They had cranium shapes that made him consider the possibility they were killing zombies and collecting the heads. Did he look in the bag? Absolutely not; Jacob was in the army after all. He knew when to turn a blind eye and when to keep his mouth shut. If he started any trouble, they could be kicked out.<br/>

"I think sticking around and getting some motor Intel, stocking up supplies and making sure we have a vehicle is the most important. You don't want to give this up, that's fine – but we're going to have to find something the gang finds valuable if we're going to get gas. You want to go back to the house? Or should we start looking for our own?" They'd pass by the house and further up the road they had originally been walking. They reached a fork, one which he figured led to the base considering the tagging on the sign and the other which looked less traveled. But he figured they'd find their own pad and maybe some other houses to sort through and see if they could find anything of value.<br/>
