Nova watched him go. She didn't want him to leave and yet she knew he had to go. It was the final step in securing their future. She waved as he passed out of sight.

Jim had decided to head south where he knew that two of them were close together. If he didn't find one he would go for another one, a different one which was not that far off. The only problem; he hadn't been that far in a long time. Who knows what he would find.

The old man was dressed in filthy rags. He hobbled down the street as though as though it were bright and sunshiny out. Suddenly he collapsed on the sidewalk. Jim pulled up and got out to inspect him. To his dismay the old timer was dead. "Well, I can't just leave you here." It was then he noticed it.
