Jack had spent the last few days since first meeting the young woman teaching and training her how to survive on her own should something happen to him. Her lack of speaking made her the perfect student, she picked up shooting on both handguns and rifles very easy and was a pretty damn good shot. Her hand to hand combat left a little to be desired but she would get there eventually. She seemed agreeable to letting him help her get to The Safe Zone, he even got her to smile more than once. Jack still couldn't shake the force that was driving him to help this complete stranger out and even give his life if necessary. 

Sitting at the kitchen table he watched as she rose from the couch yawning. 

"Morning, you know at some point we're going to have to figure out a name for you." Jack said as she rubbed sleep from her eyes. "It doesn't have to be what it was, it's brand new world out there andyou can be a brand new person if that's what you want."

She sat and thought about his proposal for a second, he could see the gears turning in her head. Since he didn't know a name he just treated her like he had Privates that he taught as an Infantry Drill Instructor at Fort Benning. She never seemed to mind that unless he got too loud with her she would attempt to shrink back into herself and it would take him awhile to get her back from that place she went in her head. He looked back up at his ward shaking away the memories for the last few days. She was staring at him with a smile on her face, something about the smile warmed Jack up inside he could see the faces of.....well nevermind who. She was pointing at him and then her in the almost rudimentary way she attempted to communicate with him. After a couple of minutes pointing back and fourth he finally understood what she was trying to tell him.

"Oh, you want me to pick your name?" He asked a bit taken back. 

She nodded vigorously.

"Ugh, I don't know if you want that I've never been good at picking names." Jack answered as his glance went out the kitchen window towards the graves he dug a few days earlier. 

"How about Samantha?" Her face krinkled like she smelled something bad and she shook her head. "No? Ok that was just the first attempt give me a second I'm trying." 

Jack stood up and started pacing the room a look on his face as if he's trying to solve the hardest puzzle in the world. At that point it struck him the perfect name for the young woman. 

"How about Anna? It's short, easy to remember, and I always really liked it." The girl thought about it for a second and nodded her head. "Fantastic we got that out of the way, now comes the hard part. We're leaving the cabin today, after we eat lunch we'll pack what we can and hit the road. I've got my four wheeler mounted on the back of my truck. We'll take the truck as far as we can and then unload the quad and use it for as far as we can go. Sound good?"

She nods, Jack continues staring out the window not knowing if she's ready yet but the longer they stay the harder it will get to leave. Jack stands and begins to prepare lunch .
