Jack reacts quickly to face Sarah and lowers his weapon when Winter relaxes.  "Miss, could you please come over here quietly?  We have already made quite a bit of noise today."  Jack waits until Sarah approaches the group and offers his hand.  "Morning Miss, my name is Jack, the young man here is Alex, Ray was the one in the car wreck and is a bit worse for the wear.  And of course you have already met Winter."<br/><br/>Jack turns back to the group and rubs his face while he thinks.  "OK I agree with your warehouse idea.  Although we will have a wider perimeter to secure, we will have multiple ways out if we are overrun," he pauses for a second, "OK here's an idea.  Back out near where I wrecked into the tractor trailer, there were two good possibilities.  Right to the west of the intersection is a Home Depot.  It will have big doors for us to get a few cars in and plenty of building materials so we can secure the openings.  But it doesn't have much else besides tools and lumber.  Another good possibility is a WalMart just a little further south on 21.  We won't have as many building materials, but we should have a good assortment of other supplies like food, clothing, tools, medicine, and ammunition."<br/><br/>"The primary danger I see is that there is also a hospital right near both locations," Jack draws a little map in the dirt to show the building locations.  "Quite a few of the zed heads I took out at the accident site came out of the hospital.  There may still be more inside.  Also, you can be sure there will be a few of them inside each of those stores.  They have skylights so there is some visibility during the day.  It will be risky but I think if we are smart about it we could clear them out."<br/><br/>"My truck can't run far, but I think I could get it to either place before the engine overheats,"  Jack pats the dented front of the humvee, "I have a few supplies left that may help us if we plan to sweep and clear a place."  He cracks open the covered "trunk" of the humvee so everyone can see.  "I managed to grab a few things before I left Hood.  Unfortunately I used up most of the ammo but there is still some left.  We've got 200 rounds of fifty cal for the Ma Deuce on the roof, in case we run into a zombie elephants.  I grabbed two M16's, A4's at that, with Picatinny rails and red dot sights.  They come with 10 magazines, all full, and another 300 rounds of lose five-five-six," he pauses to rummage around a bit.  "I have maybe a dozen or so MRE's, about thirty half liter bottles of water, three hundred-round boxes of nine-mil for my M9 (pats the pistol on his hip) or anyone else's, and six frag grenades.  I am not sure how much good those will be, but we do have them.  Let me grab a few things out of the tower, and we can head out.  We can secure Ray in the back seat, and I'll need somebody else as a gunner.  Winter if you want to bring your car, maybe someone can ride shotgun with you.  If we drive slow and steady we should be able to get there in fifteen minutes or so.  Someone can stay back to guard Ray, and the rest of us can sweep through before it gets dark.  Sound like a plan?"
