[hider=05:00am Between Albany and Montreal]

The crew of the Rangerover had heard all of the latest news from 3dog. 
"Looks like its going to get worse before it gets better" said Stan.
"You know you cant eat rabbits for the rest of your life, right?" he said.
"Yeah i know, they'll deplete your body of vitamins until you eat something else." Said Bradley.
"Do you want to talk to those people?"
"I cant, we dont have a cb radio."
"Sure you can, just connect the bluetooth headset to the radio. It does wireless. You didnt read the manual did you?"
"Should i say something?"
"Hello, Testing, testing.. this is Stan MacStewart with the MacStewart community center upstate from Albany. Were gonna ride out the storm together with the rest of our family here. O-uhm. We cant offer space to anyone not from the clan but tradings always a possibility. Ok, over and out 3dog."

The Cars arrived at Plattsburgh and drove at a steady pace to the Community centre. Down a side road through some forest and there was the school. His mom and dads car were already there. Stan wheeled the Rangerover round and parked it and got out. The glass doors swung open and Jack came out and met the two sons in his embrace. Bradley didnt enjoy hugs but he got one all the same.

"Wheres mom?" Said Stan
"Shes in the kitchen cooking something for the new arrivals" Jack said
"And Ian and the rest?"
"I had a text from them about 2 hours ago, they say their moving upstate slowly with traffic."
Everybody else was exiting their cars and stretching their legs from the drive. 
They all had assembled near the group. Stan turned.

"Well I dont go much for micromanagement. You can all decide where you're needed. No jobs for today, just get the food and unload the cars and make yourself at home. Theres some food being cooked up, i suggest you fill your tanks."

With that they all began unloading he cars. Stan turned to Jack. "And ninja?". "Hes in his box in the principals office." 
Stan went straight into the principals office. There was a blue box, he went over to its front cage. A very sad and very put-upon "meow" came from the box.
"Hey there ninja, hey there" Stan opened the box and immediately the cat tried to force its face out the gap moving with its full body in the way cats do. "Ok you can come out, but for now you'll have to stay in this room. I'll get you some water." A littl while later and he'd set up his laptop and bose speaker in the principals office. He went to the old principals microphone-speaker system, something which had come with the whole place. He turned on some [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzhOnSFcfQg]Music[/url] and put the speaker next to the microphone. He then exited the room. The speaker system played a diminished but still recognisable version of the music. He then went out to the parking lot to help with the luggage and boxes. Some of the speakers were present in the parking lot and the music blared out there too.

A little while later and Stan had helped move all the boxes into the kitchen. "I hope you brought plenty of spices." Said Fiona.
"Ah sorry mom, i forgot." He said. "Just as well i didnt." she smiled. "Nice music by the way".

A delicious meal of sweet potato soup with fried onions and bacon bits at the school dinner benches and everyone was talking. 

Sandy said "Ive made an inventory of all the medical supplies we have. Im afraid we're really short on some things, i made a list."
Lewis: "If no one else is gonna do it i could stay on the radio and wait for any responses from family on their way up or threedog or something".
Stan: "Sure, go for it, the HAM radios in the principals room, and the speaker system for the schools in there too. You could hook them up. But dont let the cat get out."
Lewis: "You brought a cat?"
Bradley: "Yeah, ninja remember? Couldnt leave him on his own."
Jack: "Wheres the showers in this place?"
Fiona: "I think they're in the sports block, but is there any hot water?"
Stan: "There should be, because as long as the electricity holds out the heaters should be working. And we've always got battery power."

A little later half of everyone had gone to sleep in the cheap creaky aluminum beds. Stan went into one of the classrooms that had been left undefined, he unlocked it. Inside were a load of pelican cases with the weapons in them. He opened one of the smaller ones and took out a PPQ. He charged it with a mag and took another mag and slipped it into his pocket. He then tucked the PPQ into the pants waist of his dark red chino pants. He then left without locking the door on purpose. It was directly opposite the sleeping room so he feared nothing.

He saw that the light was beginning to dawn outside and checked his watch. It was 6am. He then went to the foyer to wait but passed by the faraday room. Brad and Lewis were setting up Lewis's alien ware desktop pc. 
"What? Its 6am what are you doing?"
"Cant sleep. Too much excitement." said Lewis
"We're gonna finish that game of Hitman." "Why dont you join us?"
"Nah ive gotta wait to see if anybody else turns up." He then made his way over to the library room. Fiona was sitting in one of the comfortable leather chairs. She was reading something, probably something Buddhist. He waved. Went over and went to select a book from the action section. But he stopped, maybe a little bit too much action for one day. He looked a little further and found "How we evolve ourselves" in the science section. He went book in hand to wait in the foyer and sat on one of the cheap ikea sofas there.
