[color=SeaGreen]"It must be a new strain of rabies, right? I've seen in it wild animals before, they get bit, scratched, or come into contact with blood or saliva. It isn't airborne, God help us if it is. But, fuck what do you do? Bathe in alcohol? Just stay out of contact. Stay out of contact, Billie. It doesn't matter who."[/color] Living in the podunk backwoods of Arkansas, she knew to avoid any animals that shows signs of rabies. If bitten or even touched, the safest plan would be to consult a medical professional. [color=SeaGreen]"Why didn't I go into pharmaceutical science? I'd have a better fucking idea what to do!"[/color]. She didn't realize she was speaking to herself when Kali grabbed her attention. She turned to Kali forcing a smile. [color=SeaGreen]"I'm so glad you grabbed extra water too. This will keep us plenty hydrated for a couple days to sort things out." [/color]. As the two walked back to the MRAP, she matched her pace with Kali. [color=SeaGreen]"There is bound to be a river or creek nearby for us to procure water if we need to stay in quarantine for a while. Depending on the cabin, it could even have a well or a water pump!"[/color] Billie hopped into the MRAP to store the water case in a secure spot when she heard screaming from the gas station. She rushed to the back doors of the car to see Flynn and the officers rushing inside the gas station. Bystanders flooded out of the doors towards their cars or to flee into the streets. Billie darted her head around to see Lex and June both missing. [color=SeaGreen]"No, no, please, oh God, no," [/color] she muttered to herself. Billie grabbed Kali's arm to pull her back inside the MRAP. [color=SeaGreen]"Kali, get in. Stay where it is safe." [/color]She understood Kali's concern. While June and Lexi were still strangers, Billie wished to help them; however, if Flynn and the officers were saving the Lexi and June, Billie decided to take responsibility to protect Isaac and Kali. She held her rock hammer tight and ready to swing.

Diane for a second couldn't believe he would listen to her. As her ex-husband slowed down to a stop, Diane was already halfway out the door. [color=lightskyblue]"Officers, officers! Please, I need help! My daughter, my daughter, AJ-[/color] As she began to address the police officers, screams erupted from the gas station. While the police officers charged into the store with guns drawn, a horde of bystanders flooded out into the streets. Panicked, Diane darted her attention across the parking lot. If not the police officers, then maybe the military? Except, where were they? Why was a military vehicle parked at the gas station with no military personal present. [color=lightskyblue]"Paul, Paul, where is the military? Why are-wait,"[/color] her voice drifted off as she watched civilians entering into the MRAP. No, no it couldn't have devolved so rapidly. Where was the military? Where was FEMA? Where was the armed forces to organize emergency support and resources? If these petty civilians were capable of stealing an MRAP, who could she rely on? Defeated, Diane covered her mouth as she began to cry. The possibility with staying with the police officers for safety and as a way to get away from Paul was better than relying on her ex-husband. Every moment she was with him felt like a stab in the gut, yet now she had to return to him for help. She climbed back into Paul's car with the tracker app ready. Fighting through the tears she conveyed AJ's location. [color=lightskyblue]"She's, um, AJ should still be a mile ahead down the street. Let's just go, please."[/color]
