As Robby and Travis finally began to come to their senses, they realized the first thing they needed to do was find the other remaining survivors. They couldn't be that far apart, after all, it wasn't that big of a town and now there is now no way of leaving anyways. The two boys set off in search of anyone living and breathing that they could find. After a few blocks, the two boys heard voices from inside a nearby grocery store. Simultaneously, the two broke into a dead sprint in hopes of finding the other survivors. When they entered the building, amazed at how it was still even standing, they began to follow the voices. As they sprinted through, they turned a corner and there sat three more people; two girls and a boy. As they began introducing themselves, they now could add Sara, Laney, and Tyler to their "survivor group". They all began rummaging through the store, trying to find any food items or drinks they could to take with them on their journey to find the rest of the survivors. They stepped outside and began to walk down the road in hopes of finding the rest of the people they needed.
As they made there way through the rubble they slowly found some more items they thought could possibly be useful in their survival. Backpacks, pens, paper, flashlights, food, and maps were picked up along the way. However, the maps were strange. There was something different about them. Sara found the first map and picked it up to examine it. "Hmm, this doesn't look like any map I've ever seen", said Sara. Tyler leaned over to look at the map as well. Tyler noticed that the map was in a very distinct area and seemed to be cut off sharply at the end of Lonesfield. But it also did not have the same typical streets and key points that Lonesfield has always had. Tyler grew up in Lonesfield his whole life and when he saw the map he knew it was not the Lonefield he always knew. "Where's the mini-mart, where is county line road, and where's Lonesfield high?", Tyler said as he looked at the map. They knew this map would probably come in handy so Travis stuffed it in the old red backpack he found underneath a broken dresser. As the group walked around the streets some more, they found more maps and made sure to keep them all together. In total, they found seven maps and once the sun starting setting that night they found a house that had one room that was semi-standing and they sat in there until morning. Before going to sleep the survivor group put together all of the maps, trying to come to some understanding of it but they eventually gave up and agreed to look at them some other day. They were still too shocked and exhausted to make any meaning of them. The group all had a sleepless night. Too many thoughts were rushing through their heads. But when the sun rose the next morning they all were up and ready to explore some more and try to figure out what they were going to do. At 8am sharp, they heard a siren going off. Not a siren of a police, ambulance, or fire truck. But some other kind of siren. The group all just turned toward each other and froze in shock. After 10 straight minutes of a deafening siren it eventually turned off. Laney said, "Umm guys. What was that?" All of the others shook their heads having no idea what just happened and what the siren meant.
