Rappore.”
                  “Thank you, sir,” Greggory says stepping forward.
                  “Yes, very good,” Joshua says backing him off, “now, this is a basic rescue mission. From what I understand there is roughly a dozen people trapped at an army base in Houston, Texas. Gather them, and as many supplies as you can, and bring them back. Simple enough right?”
                  “Yes, sir,” the group calls out.
                  “Now I’ll leave you all in the capable hands of Captain Rappore. I wish you all a safe journey and God speed.”
                  Joshua steps down and nods his head to the crew before shaking Greg’s hand one last time. They watch as he leaves the cabin.
                  “All right everyone, lets shove off,” Greggory calls out causing the group to scatter around leaving him alone with Fanny and Hope. “Well?”
                  “Well what?” Hope asks.
                  “Aren’t you going to get to work?” he asks cynically.
                  “What are my orders, Captain?” Hope says as she sarcastically salutes him.
                  “Don’t think I don’t know about you, both of you,” He says looking at Hope and Fanny. “I don’t care who your friends or family are back at the island. On this boat and on the main land, I’m in charge, and I’m not your friend.”
                  “Give it time,” Fanny winks, “we’re very loveable people.”
                  “Stop with the jokes and find something to do,” Greg says, “and that’s an order”
                  The pair slink out of the cabin each taking a separate stations of the boat and learning from the other volunteers. The day continues to progress, the boat inching closer to the land as each second passes. The sun starts to set as land begins to come into view.
                  “Captain we are approaching land,” an older male calls out.
                  “Land? Already?” Fanny questions, “We can’t be near Texas yet.”
                  “We aren’t,” Greg replies.
                  “Then why are we headed for land?” Fanny asks.
                  “Look my orders were to get us to Louisiana and have us walk the rest of the way,” Greg answers reluctantly, “something about not having enough fuel.”
                  “Wait you expect us to walk?” Fanny asks as she starts to breathe heavily, “Do you know what happens when people walk through that cursed land?”
                  “No, to be honest I’ve never really dealt with it. My family was one of the first to be rescued after the virus spread,” Greg replies with a somewhat worried look.
                  “I’ll tell you what happens,” Fanny says getting up into his face, “When people stay too long on land, they tend to die.”

                  “That’s Just insanity,” Greg says blowing her off.
                  “I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE,” Fanny says loudly and slowly, “I might have only been thirteen at the time, but believe me I remember it all too clearly.”
                  “If it was so horrible the first time, then why come back?”
                  “I have my reasons for what I do.”
                  He watches as his head turns slightly pointing in Hope’s direction.
                  “I understand,” Greg responds, “but why didn’t you just convince her not to come? This is a volunteer mission after all.”
                  “Hope’s a stubborn girl,” Fanny admits.
                  “Well then let’s hope that
