Aerius looks back then smiles sadly, "No problem, Cupcake. Just get some rest please if you are thinking about repaying me....I can't lose you...."<br/><br/>He turns and walks into his room. There he just works on plans for the next few months in case their travels don't lead them straight to Chicago. Planning for raiders, gangs, betrayers....so many more variables than usual especially since people now only look out for number one now.<br/><br/>Aerius was up until daybreak...day one of Zombie Apocalypse Survival. He makes sure they all have personal bags before making breakfast for them. It was chocolate chip pancakes with bacon with milk and the choice of water, apple juice, grape juice, or orange juice. Aerius takes the first trays to Tara and Allie and gives them their choice of liquid then another two trays to Ryan and Mikayla.<br/><br/>"Here you go. Try to get your father to eat a little. He needs his strength too.", Aerius tells her gently and checks Ryan's bandages and wounds....he breathes in relief....Ryan will live.<br/><br/>As Mikayla is doing whatever, her phone rings with her mom's ringtone.
