Jack went to the elevator up to their house and tries to locate a nice spot to put up the ORBS. Jack take a glance to his surroundings and then he thought of putting it in front of their house instead.
"It is for a trial only. So why not here?" Jack says as he was putting down the ORBS and then fixing it.
Jack started to press the button at the center of it and he started to speak.
"DL command speak up. You there?" Jack said as he was hoping DL command will respond.
It has been a couple of minutes but still DL command didn't respond and Jack started to lost hope. He sit beside the ORBS. Then suddenly a not clear sound has been heard from the ORBS.
He tries to get his ear focus on those sounds.
"J-jack I-Im here." And then Jack suddenly jump in the air while clasping his palms together because of happiness and excitement.
"YES!" He shouted. "It worked!" He continues.
Then he focus on the ORBS.
"Can you search the area if there are possible signs of survivors?" Jack ask while trying to focus on it.
DL command started to draw a map until he reaches the even kilometer range of it. DL command figure out something on those range he tries to locate.
"I am done searching Jack." DL command responded.
"That's great. Did you found any survivors? Is there any sign of them?" Jack continuously ask, he is very eager to help if there are any of them.
And was very excited with the outcome of the ORBS.
"For now Jack, I can locate a few of them." DL command responded while trying to give to Jack the exact location.
"DL command where is the exact location of them? So we could help them." Jack ask as he was eager to know it.
"1520 16th St, Sacramento, CA 95814, United States." DL command responded to Jack.
"They were exactly living in a high rise building apartment Jack. Be guided with the address I just told you." DL command continues.
"Okay DL command. Good to know there are still survivor out there." Jack was happy knowing the ORBS is working and he can search for more survivors because of it.
"Would you be able to find more of them?" Jack continue to ask.
"I could only range now for 11 km. That's far I could get Jack." DL command responded. And then Jack nodded.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"That will be good for now. We'll be setting it next time." Jack said. He take a glance to his watch it's already 3:00 in the afternoon and he will gonna be running out of time if he is going to that place right away.
And DL command already guessed what was on Jack's mind so he preceded it.
"You won't be able to return Jack if you are going to them now." DL command respond.
And Jack agrees to what DL command said and that it will also be too dangerous on him because he will be going there alone with a limited time.
"Will be doing it early in the morning. I just hope they will still be fine when I reach them by tomorrow." Jack was a little bit anxious and worried too about the survivors.
And then he look in the distance as if he were looking at where those survivors are located.
"I should get moving, I should look for the best spot where I can place the ORBS. I need to put this in an area where it can reach the rays of the sun. A higher location will be a good idea." Jack said while trying to take a glance to his surroundings and he suddenly stop when he saw a water tank on the neighborhood.
The ORBS needed to take a solar power so it could be a substitute for the electricity needed to get an information of the survivors.
He looked and try to check the water tank that were located in the upper part of their neighbor's house. And Jack thought it might be a good location when he take a glance to the rays of the sun and imagining it until sunset, still can reach by the rays of the sun. And that ORBS would surely be hard to get lowbat.
The ORBS can run using the power of light and good thing the ORBS can't get easily lowbat. The extra charge from it can be use even without sunlight.
He walk his way to the water tank and takes the ladder connected going up and when he reaches at the top. Jack fix the ORBS in a nice position and location as possible so it could easily get the power it needs and the information it can provide.
After he was done setting up the ORBS the whole afternoon.
He decided to go down and cook some dinner. Jack barely eat his dinner because he was thinking his plan for tomorrow. Austin notice his father looking his food but barely touch it.
"Is there any problem dad?" Austin ask.
"No son. Just finish your food so we could take a rest early." He said and Austin didn't bother to ask another question.
And didn't bother to tell him that he already finish the files. They went to their room in a separate way.
"Goodnight dad." Austin shouted but his father already closes the door in his room and he didn't heared what he just shouted.
Austin step inside his room bothered by what his father has been doing until he has fallen asleep thinking about it.
Jack woke up around six in the morning. He prepared some noodles and and glass of milk for his son while he just have a cup of coffee. He needed to move quickly so he could go to the address of the survivors.
As per routine he always check his son before leaving home or his lab (is their new home now). When he saw that he was still asleep.
He just left him a note and went to his room and prepare for a possible mission. He wear just like those military outfit (rugged pants, black shirt plus the bullet proof thing he put in his chest, plus the heavy duty boots) he puts in his waist the gun he was hiding in his room and then he walk his way up riding the elevator.
When he heard the elevator chimes, he move quickly to the garage to get more weapons to use in his mission. Jack chooses to ride the SUV Honda car CRV. He always check his watch before he does anything. And the time in his watch is already eight in the morning. Jack went inside the car and drive out of their house. He was able to take a look on the sky to check on the weather and it's a hot sunny day.
"Even the weather wanted me to get those survivors." He said as he was hurriedly drive his way to the address that he ask to DL command.
He was getting near at the place and he look around and see those high rise building.
"Is it that one? Or that one?" He wasn't sure of the building though because he thought it was an apartment.
He slowly drive more his way and saw an apartment building but it is not just a three storey but it was fifth storey apartment building. He stop driving and tries to contact DL command.
"DL command is this the correct address?" Jack asked as he was still not so sure.
"This is a five storey apartment building. It's huge building to search for those survivors." Jack continues.
"Yes Jack that is the correct address and I am surely certain that that is also the building." DL command responded.
"Where shall I start with this?" Jack exclaimed as he was looking up high to the building in front of him.
"You can choose to enter the main door or make a short cut Jack." DL command responded but Jack wasn't talking to him but to himself.
"I was actually talking to myself." Jack said but still listen to DL command.
"But What about the short cut that you were telling?" Jack ask.
"You climb using the rope Jack." DL command responded.
Jack wasn't sure if DL command knows how to say a joke or he was just playing with him. Or maybe he was right after all.
"Anyway, how many survivors are we talking about here DL command?" Jack continues to ask before he was going to proceed with his mission.
"Base on my research Jack, there are six person on that building." DL command responded.
"Okay, six. Got it." Jack said as he move his way circling the building first where he could possibly enter.
He wanted to check the possibility that the attackers (living- dead) where on the dark side of the building. Hiding from the sun.
While Jack was making his move circling around the building and checking the street, he didn't notice that someone was staring and looking at him from the window on the third floor of the building. That someone was still familiarizing who is that someone walking around the building. Alone. But because of nervousness and fear he shouted.
"HELP! HELP US PLEASE! WE NEED HELP!"
Jack stop walking and immediately turn his head to where he heard those noise.
