Ari was able to take the coat off in the house as long as she stayed in the back of the house where the blinds were open and the sunlight was hitting the windows liberally. When she had first occupied the house she ripped the model home sign out of the ground. She had forgotten about it. The sign wasn't standing but it was still there. She had been confronted by a sick and hungry dog. It hadn't been aggressive just very sickly looking and she had run into the house. Dog bites could be bad enough when they weren't laced with radiation. She didn't want to tempt fate.

Ari was looking out the back window feeling the heat on her face when she saw movement. She quickly grabbed the curtains and pulled them shut. If she would have had her eyes open she might have seen who it was but she only saw movement out the corner of her eye which meant they were close. She didn't know if it was a soldier, a gangmember or another sick animal. She was definitely on edge. She went back to the window and peaked out. She couldn't see anyone or thing moving around. She was hoping it had been a bird. Although she hadn't seen any birds in two weeks.

Ari made sure her gun was loaded and she waited.
