Day Six: Thursday, June 9th

On their way again to the bug-out the next day, Garrett confesses to Kelton that he revealed Kelton’s secrets to Henry. Kelton decides he needs to get back at Henry and get him out of the way since he is clearly dangerous. However, he cannot act now because Alyssa seems to trust Henry. As they drive, there is a thick haze, and the kids listen on the radio for news of fires. Henry convinces them not to open the last box of water. Eventually they reach the forest and head toward the bug-out. Alyssa, still angry at Kelton, ignores his presence. When they reach the bug-out, Kelton welcomes them in.

It immediately becomes clear that the bug-out has been ransacked. Since it was locked, Kelton knows that there couldn’t have been a break in and realizes that his brother was living in the bug-out for the last few months, so no water is left.

Alyssa is now glad that Henry convinced the group not to drink any more water. Kelton is distraught that Brady ruined their supply, and they all head back to the truck.
