Previously on EDEN

Ellis looked down at the carrots he had chopped and let out a small laugh. "Kind of….Did I ever tell you about my buddy Keith?"

Now we continue our hero's journey.

Nick came out of his shower and noticed that his clothes were gone.

"Da Hell" He knew he left them on the toilet seat. He looked around and hanging on the towel rack were clean pants and a shirt, below that were fresh socks and the shoes he had just gotten. Damn it all he never told that woman he wanted new clothes; he liked his suit just fine. He was going to give her a piece of his mind. He dried off with one of the towels she had left him. He smelled something funny…. Wait was that laundry detergent? Where the fuck did she get laundry detergent? Any person that can find time to wash clothes and add laundry detergent during a God damned zombie apocalypse can't be trusted. Nick pulled on the clothes that the girl left him and walked out he bumped into coach who was wearing a T-shirt with the Midnight riders and some jeans.

"Feel good to wash up and wear clean clothes for a change don't it"

"Yeah, I guess, but don't you think it's weird that she has all these things."

"Boy my momma always told me to not look a gift horse in the mouth. This is by far the best thing that has happened to us since the apocalypse happened."

"Well my mother taught me not to trust anyone so can we at least keep an eye on her."

Coach dried his head and pondered Nick's proposal for the moment.

"All right here's the plan, We stick around until Rochelle is well enough to travel. If the girl acts weird or tries to attack us I think the three of us can take her."

"Thank you"

"But I'm warning you, don't jump the gun on this. She's saved us and opened her home for us. Not to mention I think she has something to do with…."

Coach sniffed the air and his eyes widened.

"Do with what? What's goin on coach?"

"Oh Lord"

Coach ran down the stairs and Nick followed worried for the worst. Before they rounded a corner he heard Ellis yelp, Nick instinctively pulled out a gun. What he found was improbable.

Ellis and the girl were wearing aprons and she was smacking him with a spatula.

"Damn it Ellis I told you to wear oven mitts!"

"Sorry"

Coach chuckled and picked up the baked potatoes Ellis had dropped on the ground with a clean dishtowel.

"Thank you Coach, can you please put them in that bowl over there, the one with the blue flowers."

"Yes Ma'am"

"Again with the ma'am, Christ I'm not old enough to be a ma'am. Nick could you please set the table."

Nick did as he was told, everything was so surreal, pretty dishes, napkins, place mats, COASTERS!

"Oh I forgot to tell you to set a plate aside to take to your girlfriend"

"She is not my girlfriend!"

As he set the table Nicks mind drifted back to the day before he went to Savannah. When he had a wife and kids, sure he was a part of the mob, but that didn't mean he didn't have people he loved before the infection Nick had a beautiful Mexican/Italian wife named Dana who gave him three beautiful girls and a son. Every night he'd come home to something cooking in the oven and someone showing him a drawing or a grade on it. His eldest girl Rachel always stayed with her mother in the kitchen and helped cook while Becca begged to be allowed to cook something. Maria was still a baby and Danny was bashing his toy cars together. Rachel was only a few years younger than Rochelle and she acted very much like her, she even wanted to work in television like Rochelle. She also had the same patience with children like Rochelle, the child in question being Ellis. He wished he hadn't left Vegas for that business tripe in Savannah. Before he could drift away the smell of food wafted into his nose. Fuck that smelled delicious. AAA served him his food when he sat down and he was about to dig in when Coach stopped him.

"Wait a sec"

She served everyone else sat down and reached her hands out to her sides. Nick looked at it as if it were a foreign object, Ellis caught on first and grabbed her hand and held his hand out for Coach. They were all joining hands and all Nick had to do was hold hers for prayer to start. Suddenly he was back at the table Danny was in his high chair, Becca was playing with her curls, Rachel with her phone and Dana was getting everyone to join hands for the prayer. She'd shoot Nick a smile close her eyes and say her prayers. Nick held her hand and bowed his head trying to keep himself from crying.

AAA said quietly "Lord, we thank you for this meal in these hard times, we thank you for the company we enjoy today and the small comforts we have. We thank you for the roof over our heads and the temporary rest we are enjoying. We pray that there are others out there enjoying these same comforts and that this nightmare will end soon. We also ask that you help us in our journey to find a refuge from this carnage and peace in this earth. Most of all we hope we can find this peace and share it with the people we have lost and are trying to find. Please continue to watch over us and offer what protection you can. Amen"

Everyone put down their hands AAA and Ellis were the first ones to dig in followed by chef who wiped a tear away.

"By the way Nick I left you wallet on the counter, I'll give you your suit back once I clean it."

"Thank you" She smiled and leaned over preparing his potato. She made an X cut squished it added butter, salt sour cream and crushed oregano. Just like his Nona used to make. (Italian word for grammy)

"I want one like that." Ellis whined

"Ok, ok gimme a second." She turned around and started making one for Ellis and another for Coach. Nick started eating and nearly cried from the taste alone. Slim jims and coked can't compare.
