Kylie's 'bed' was virtually invisible. Even if raiders had come to search the truck for equipment, there was a good chance they may have skimmed right past the bundle of dirt-smeared blankets in the passenger side foot-well. Age taken into consideration, Kylie was still small, and took up very little space. It wasn't until the bundle of blankets moved that anyone would guess there was a girl curled up beneath them. 

With a yawn, Kylie sat up. She disentangled herself from the blankets, climbing up onto the passenger seat and looking out the window. The truck was parked on a cracked cement pad, accompanied by a handful of other vehicles. All were in various states of disrepair, and a nearby building proclaimed itself to be an auto repair shop. Farther into the distance was a large junkyard. Ruined buildings beyond that. Kylie looked sadly in the building's direction. It was the very same repair shop where the attack a few weeks ago had separated her from her sister. She returned here as often as she could, hoping that Jean would show up. With a quiet sigh, the girl folded up one of the blankets and stuffed it into her monster-shaped backpack. The only other object inside was a package of instant noodles. A moment later, she had left the truck and started walking.

"Jean!" 

Kylie's small voice carried across the wasted landscape of the city. It was quiet, with few people around, but she still moved cautiously. There was no telling when a horde may come out of nowhere. "Jeeeeean!"

This was how she spent most of her days now. Wandering the area around the repair shop, calling out for her older sister. Her journey today brought her to the edge of the nearby junkyard. Kylie stepped over the ruined scraps of metal, and slowly began climbing a mountain of scrap and trash to get a better view. A few times, she nearly stumbled. But she was nimble, and reached the top quickly. Standing on an old tire at the pinnacle of the mountain, she cupped her hands around her mouth to shout again. "[i]Jeeaaan![/i]"
