Chapter 29 Chapter 29

Day two of the Fire Sale… …Complete annihilation of Communication systems and energy resources.

Silva woke to the sun shining in her eyes, moaning low. "Morning already?" She was never a morning person…but got up before Rick and got dressed. Choosing her favorite blue Wranglers, camouflaged tank top, and pink socks. Tiptoeing to the kitchen for breakfast.

Rick had felt the bed shift, but thought it was a dream. He woke lazily to the sun warming his naked body, half of which was still covered by the cool sheets. Rick stretched and got dressed, choosing his charcoal muscle shirt, black and gray pants, then left for the kitchen.

The others were still asleep, since it was barely seven o'clock in the morning. (God! People get up already!!)

Silva poured herself coffee and heard someone walking down the hall. Obviously Rick, she could always tell the difference between his walking rhythm and someone else's. He emerged into the kitchen and standing beside her.

"Coffee?" Was all she said, not even turning to look at him.

He grunted and yawned at the same time, "The others aren't awake yet?" Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, slipping his sunglasses on.

"Nope," handing him a mug full of coffee. "It's seven and I'm amazed I'm awake this early, and not even tired." Taking a swig of her hot drink and sat it down on the counter in thought.

"Well I am," he replied grumpily. "I've never felt like this before, well. Maybe once and that was it…" Looking at his reflection in his coffee.

"You look good though, Mr. grumpy." Silva teased.

"Well, I don't feel like it." Smiling a bit at her.

"Day two of the apocalypse…" Staring solemnly at the window.

"Day two? How much longer?" He watched her expression change from solemn to calm.

"Two more days… it takes one whole day to take down all communications including the military satellites. And another, to take down the energy grid, gas lines, and every other power source…" Taking another swig.
