Jack has started to creat a small satellite already.

He get all the details correct and accurate, trying to make that thing perfect unlike the earphone. He was busy sorting everything when something happen that makes him fall down because of tiredness from what he is doing.

Jack was still at the floor lying down and felt unconscious.

But after six hours, Jack suddenly awake from his unconsiousness but still feel weak because his body is very tired with a long work that he has done. And there is more that the thought that makes him fall down earlier- because he was sick. Jack has Leukemia since last year and that's the main reason he knows why he suddenly fall down. Jack forgot to take his medicine on time because a lot of things on his head lately.

He stand up and reach for his medicine on his pocket and take a 1-2 pieces of tablet from it.

After he has taken his medicine, he try to rest again on the sofa beside him until he fall asleep.

It was the the ring of the alarm clock made him wake up from his sleep. He feel his body was okay after that hours of sleep. He even forgot to take a glance to his son last night before goinh to bed.

Jack walk his way to prepare food for their breakfast, he made a sandwich for him and an oatmeal with milk for his son. After he has done with it he went to the room of his son to call him to have his breakfast.

While they are at the table and eating, Austin suddenly ask a question.

L"Dad, why are we eating here at the lab instead in our kitchen upstairs?". unknowingly innocent Austin ask.

"And why are you the one preparing our food, where is our cook? And oh! Mom could do this too. Where is she?", he continues to ask his father.

Because Austin got a lot of questions, Jack don't even know what's the first question to answer. But he already knows that Austin might really ask about all those question he just ask thats why Jack also prepare a definite answer on the back of his mind.

He smiled and started to talk,

"Don't you like it that I was the one preparing your breakfast son?", he look at Austin's face while talking and take his glance away back immediately when he saw how serious his son is.

"Son, I cook food for you because I wanted too. And we are eating here in the lab because it's much more safer here and I wanted to spend more time with you.", Jack continues trying to explain to his son about his curiousity in a nice way he knows possible without letting him know what was really happening outside.

"Is my answer already enough?", he ask until he remembers something and continues to talk.

"How about mom? When can I see her?", Austin ask again and Jack suddenly stop himself explaining because he was about to talk about his mother when he suddenly speak about her.

"About that son, I was about to talk about your mom before you ask about her. I told you already that your mom is not yet feeling okay right?", Jack trying to explain everything to him, Austin nod.

"Yeah, but I wanna see her", Austin stubbornly said.

"Yeah I know but rigjt now we can't son", Jack answered him back.

"But why not dad?", he is so eager to be wigt his mom, a lot of questions that even Jack doesn't want to bother to answer but he needes to.

"Yes, I know son but you need to have patience on seeing your mom. I already told you that she is not feeling better right? So she still needs to get better and don't worry about your mom son. The doctors are taking care of her, and they instructed me to let your mom take a rest well so she can get back to us. Won't you like that to happen?", Jack explain it well and in a nice way possible to Austin while very sad while looking at Austin's face who is eager to see his mother.

Jack felt guilty not telling everything to his son but he will do so when the time is right.

"Of course I'd be okay with that", Austin replied to what his father ask.

"Will she be okay dad. I just really really miss her a lot", he continuosly ask while bowing his head on the table, still very worried to his mom and can even see it in his face.

"Of course son she will be", Jack simply answer trying to smile- forced smile actually.

Austin suddenly liftes his head upon hearing the words from his dad.

"Now finish your food or else your mom will get mad at you", he said trying to divert their conversation and so Austin won't be asking anymore questions.

Jack knows that Austin badly misses his mother already but Jack was also trying to protect both his wife and his son so he needed to lie.

And soon Austin will understand him why he did that- he hope so.

They were done eating when Jack talk,

"Son, I will be out for a couple of hours but first I want you to have this", he showed a USB he was holding and hand it to him.

Austin reach it and look at it closely.

"There is a computer inside your room.I want you to watch what is inside this USB okay?", Jack continues to explain on his son confuse face while trying to figure out what his father were trying to explain.

"What's this all about dad?", Austin ask with a felt of curiousity in his face.

"Everything you are asking was in there already after you watch it. Every detailed files I want you to understand it, okay?", Jack continues to explain.

"Okay dad", he responded while figuring out what's with the usb he was holding right now.

"I don't have much time. I need to go out, I'll be back before you know it", he smiled at his son for assurance that he will be safe.

"Be safe", Austin shouted upon walking his way to his room.

"Sure thing", Jack shouted back.

When he see Austin closes his door to his room he talk to DL command and needes to ask something.

"DL command can you show me a map to where the nearest drugs store and convenience store?", he immediately ask while looking at his watch wanting to go out as fast as he can so he can be back before it gets dark.

DL command show him a map on the screen.

"There are 1 nearby convenience store and 2 blocks before you head to a drug store", DL command showing him in the screen what he needed to.

"How about the nearest police station or military base?", Jack continues to ask everything he needs before he will make his way out.

DL command show everything Jack ask and needed.

After Jack get what he needs, he prepared himself. He change into something that can't easily hurt by someone who could possibly attack him. He also got his gun for his safety , put on his jacket the extra bullet from his gun. He was ready and everything he needs was with him.

He check his watch and it's just 10 in the in the morning, he has more time to get what he needs. He ride on the elevator going upstairs, prepare his gun until the ring of the elevator rang and that means he reaches upstairs already.

The door of the elevator slowly open, and he pointed out the gun just in case someone was out there -living dead.
