serving, it has so much more taste this way, enjoying the
small amount of food, they are still hungry yet they all know not
to be greedy with it, the food they have must last until they have
found more and when that is, no one knows.
    It’s almost getting dark the sun is about to
start going down, in the far distance they can see the massive Fort
its truly amazing and even more the closer they got, on arrival the
beaches is spotless its very clean the water very clear, just
walking around on the sand was a good relief from all the sitting,
even Danny looks much better he too was roaming around for a little
bit. The joy was short-lived when William suggested that they stay
and sleep on the boat for one more night, it’s really for the best,
it must be kept in mind that many tourists come here and there can
still be some minor dangers lurking around.
    They didn’t like this idea, but it made
enough sense to stay one more night close to the boat, it’s going
to be a very cold night and the chances of actually getting some
sleep will be rare, only a few jackets Emma grabbed in that house
will generate the most heat and this will mostly be given to her
daughter, mother and Danny though William said he will prepare a
campfire with whatever sticks and branches he can find close
by.
    The night passed by peacefully the camp fire
was big enough to generate enough heat, I think anyone could agree
that this was some of the best sleep they have had in a long time
of course not for my mother. Emma still smiles she is fully rested
its early morning and there is still some branches and wood left
for a small fire they can have some coffee or tea her smile drops
as she remembers that was all lost with the flooded boat, she feels
the need to do something anything will do to make time go by
slightly faster.
    She decide to tend to the weapons the
industrial tape did loosen a lot since their last encounter, she
will pull it apart and then put it back together with new tape,
while everyone is out cold sleeping, at least there will be
something to do, a few minutes later Danny joined her, he seems
much better, he asked if there isn’t something to eat it feels like
his starving, Emma wants to say no in the kindest of ways but since
he had such a rough journey until now it will be a very good thing
if he eats properly. Emma had no choice but to open another can of
food, this time, meatballs and spaghetti it’s not a proper meal,
but it will help with his condition he needs all the energy he can
get.
    Here you go, you can heat it up if you want,
Danny is skeptical, but she insist no one will know one can is
missing unaware that William counted them before bed. Danny eats
like a pig it’s disgusting for Emma he didn’t even warm it up,
Danny starts the fire and walks to his bag to get coffee, he
explains to Emma that he wouldn’t be able to survive the day
without his cup of coffee in the mornings so he just had to grab
this when he was hiding from those things.
    This cheered Emma up instantly, after all,
she is a caffeine junkie and it’s been hard on her during this
trip, but now it’s, even more worth it even if its bitter and
without sugar, Danny grabs one of the weapons and start taking it
apart helping Emma while they enjoy their coffee.
    Danny don’t slip anything personal, however
Emma did mention that she wanted to be a doctor and this could have
been very soon but then all this happened and before anyone knew it
all fell apart. Danny feels happier and lighter knowing there is,
at least, someone with knowledge over these type of things, she can
help a lot when the time comes when someone get sick or injured
with the right medication and tools she will be able to do wonders
among the group. Danny still didn’t mention how his feeling exactly
but Emma is convinced it was just a bad tummy bug it might just be
a worse case of stomach flu.
    Danny almost want to believe her, still he is
stressed out that it might not just be that he
