With Austin calling him. Jack lifted his head while chewing his food.
"Hmmm".. and Austin suddenly ask Jack, "Daddy can I sleep with you tonight?" Jack didn't thought about that, he thought he was going to be eagerly asking about something else again.
But then Austin obviously wanted to ask different questions but rather keep it for himself. He wanted to ask about DL command but Austin don't know how to ask it.
"Why? You afraid being alone in your room now?" Jack asked trying to know the reason why.
"I was just thinking mom and I just miss her a lot." Austin feel saddened whenever he talks about her mom.
Jack can see in his son's face that he is longing for his mother and yet he can't say anything what's really happen to his mother.
"I miss her hugging me before I sleep into bed. Can you do that for me dad while mom is not yet around?" Austin vividly look at Jack. He can see his father's face that he is so bothered whenever I ask about mom or even talk about her.
He doesn't know the reason why. He frowned with curiosity. And then Jack immediately puts up a smile in his face.
"Okay son will do that." Jack said while he stand up and putting up his plate in the sink.
While he was beside the sink Jack remembers to ask something so he turned and look to his son who is still finishing his food.
"Have you had gotten to understand and listen to the video carefully son?" His son turned his head and look at him.
"Yes dad, it's about some kind of electronics and...", Austin trying to think about it.
"Ah! Programming, yes dad?" Jack smiled because he know his son is smart enough to understand what's inside the USB that he gave it to him.
Austin stand up and hand over his plate to Jack.
"Finish eating?" Jack ask and Austin nodded.
"But I was just curious what's that all about dad." He frowned while jack reach his plate and started to clean those plates.

"That's good son if you understood about what is inside of the USB. And like I said before when you started schooling that you must focus on everything you do right?" Jack look his son and then to the dishes he was doing.
"Yes dad, you always told me those." Austin responded.
"Because those knowledge you will indulge will lead you in the future." Jack continues while he finish the dishes and after that he stand up next to his son.
"Yes dad I remember those words from you." Austin directly answered while lifting his head and looking at his father's face.
"Okay, go to your room now and wait for me there. Hmmm?" Austin smile and nodded.
"I will be there in a minute." Austin quickly move to his room when he heard what his father said.
His father finishes everything in their temporary kitchen and then about to go his way to his son's room when he take a glance to the room of his wife first.
He was holding a plate with a food in it to deliver to her wife's room. Jack look at the plate and then to the door in front of him. He slowly open the door.
And then there is her wife, sitting at the side of the room. He takes a look at her wife who is stunned and not moving where she is and just look in the air like he didn't notice him in that room. The music makes his wife calm from what has infected her but why can't she be back in her normal state. Jack thought about it. He even got the chance to bring her food but she never finishes them.
"Please eat your dinner this time love please." Jack was very very eager to let his wife take her food even just a little bit.
He kneel in front of her. Jack take a spoon of food he brought and try to feed her wife. But she never even bother to open her mouth. So he decided to open her mouth and put a spoonful of it. But still she never chew it. His wife looks pitiful. And yet he can't do anything but to stay calm about it because Jack was still figuring out how his wife can be treated.
Austin never thought that her mother was just at the lab for so long. Jack try to sneak a food to give it to her wife every time his son is in his room and when he leaves the room of his wife he made sure that it was locked.
Jack went out from that room sad because still he can't feed his wife. It sadden him that he can't even feed her. He thought of something. And then Austin crossed his mind,
"Oh! I need to go to Austin's room." Jack exclaimed and quickly move to his son's room.
Slowly open the door but he found out that his son was already asleep. He take a look to his son who were sleeping and then to his computer not far away from his bed. Jack went there and try to open his computer. It saddened him for a second thought that the picture who pops up upon opening the computer was their family picture.
Jack was teary eyes just remembering her wife's situation at the other room. He continue to open his computer directly to the file he gave to him and saw that he was actually studying about it. He was already the last files to finish it up.
Never thus Jack knows that Austin was just playing asleep at his bed. He lifted up his head a little bit just to check if his father was still on his computer. When his father was about to turn his head in his way he suddenly close his eyes and continue to play asleep.
After checking the computer of his son, he went to get near his bed. He sat to the edge of the bed and look at his son who is sleeping peacefully like he doesn't have an idea what has happening around the world. Jack sighed every time he thinks about those living-dead. After a minute of thought, Jack stand up and lower his head and says,
"Sorry son for everything. I'll promise I will fix this." He whisper and he gave a kiss to the forehead of his son.
And then he stand up and stare at him for a second. While his son was trying to feel the presence of his father beside his bed.
Jack walk his way to the door and before he close the door he takes a last glance and then press the power off of the lights and slowly close the door.
'CLICK', A sound of the door that signals Austin that his father was already out from his room.
Austin slowly open his eyes to check if his father really went out from his room, he look around and yet he can't find him that means he is out from his room. And then he thought why would his father was saying sorry to him.
"Has he done anything wrong?" Austin was clueless and yet trying to let know what is really going on to his father.
And there he goes with his curiousity again. Austin slowly move and walk his way to the door. Slowly open the door and take a glance to his surroundings. He can't find nor hear any signs of his father so he walk outside from his room and slowly close back his door.
Austin was already standing in front of his father's room but he was in doubt if he will open his door or not.
And yet for his curiosity he hold the knob and turned it...
