<strong>June 1 (Day 10), 8:35 p.m. – Jackals and Shots Hunting Supply Store, Mall, Downtown</strong><br/>The man asked if they had been there for a while already and Carl simply grunted, “No, only for about an hour. We were gathering some supplies and then planning to find a safer location for the night.”<br/><br/>With a heavy sigh, he added, “Caitlin over there,” he gestured at the woman behind him, “thinks that the mall will attract a lot of unwanted attention, be it either hostile survivors or zombies. It's probably better to hole up somewhere else.”<br/><br/>He let those thoughts sink in, as he showed the three new people inside.<br/><br/>Falling back in role as a patriarchal care giver, Carl added with a friendlier tone, “You must all be hungry, there are some snacks in my backpack over there. Help yourself, but please don't take too much. There is no telling when we'll come across new supplies.”<br/><br/>Better make a good impression, Carl thought, I will need their support later and the Lord works through mysterious ways, but surely He sent these three on my path for a reason.<br/><br/><br/><strong>June 1 (Day 10), 9:05 p.m. – Jackals and Shots Hunting Supply Store, Mall, Downtown</strong><br/>Rebecca asked if Caitlin if she knew her mother.<br/><br/>Silence ensued for several long seconds, before Caitlin said, “Yes, I remember your mother Rebecca... I wasn't very close to her since we worked at different floors, but she was always very friendly and helpful. I remember her as a cheerful and strong-willed woman. I'm afraid she was still there, when-...” Caitlin choked for a moment, unable to continue.<br/><br/>“I'm sorry for your loss,” She finally said, leaving the her mother's fate unspoken.<br/><br/>Caitlin felt sorry the girl, she thought Rebecca was very brave. She had lost all her family, while Caitlin was an only child and her parents were still alive. They were probably worried sick about her, but at least they were spared from this horrible fate.
