Sunlight was barely breaking through the boarded windows in the house. One thin band of light found it's final limit on Dakota's face. He opened his eyes and immediately closed them back moving his hand to shield them form the ray of fire. He got out of bed quietly. A quick glance at Karin to make sure he had not awoken her. As he started to move Maxx got up and followed him to the kitchen.

Dakota placed down a bowl barely filled with dog food. Maxx went over and inspected it then sat and looked to Dakota.

"Don't give me that look. I know you want more but I can't give you more.....we have to ration. Dad only stockpiled enough to last the five of us 6 months. Even though we only have to feed three we are running out." Maxx looked blankly then whimpered a bit but decided this was better then not eating at all. " I'm mean the past few months we've had food cause I've been able to sneak to other houses and take what I could. " Dakota was now going through the cabinets to see what he could find to feed his sister and himself. " And I know what you're thinking...but I don't want to go any further than the houses that I've already been to. Any further and I risk leaving Karin unprotected for too long. That's not something I can do." He said and found some Pop-tarts and cereal. He looked to see if he could find some bread and peanut butter. "I think it's coming to that point when we are gonna have to move." The dog had stopped eating and looked at him once again. "C'mon finish that up. Don't waste your food." Maxx then resumed eating.

After setting everything up for the breakfast he had decided it was too early. He headed out to the garage where he went over a checklist. While doing so he was remembering one of the last moments he had had with his farther.

"It's always good to be prepared. In a world that is lost, that is in this world, you have to keep your sanity. Remember it's good to keep a routine. You don't have to repeat it the same every day but you should make sure you keep to the same actions. Like you and I do now. Also you should always be prepared to move. Keep bags packed always. Make sure the car is okay. Remember this and everything else I've taught you and we will always survive. Oh and do me a favor. Be nice to your sister I know she's annoying at times but she's young she doesn't understand everything that is going on."  

Dakota had been inspecting the car and making sure it was ready to go. He also made sure he had everything. Then, deciding everything was set, he returned to the house and made breakfast. Then went into the bedroom and woke Karin. The two had breakfast together followed by cartoons that were on dvd. They went through the day playing bored games and other things one would play play with a small child on a rainy day; as if the world outside had not fallen to pieces and the stench of despair had not poisoned the air.
