At the first opportunity, Erin took him aside and asked him if there was something bothering him. “Nothing’s wrong. A couple of things have been on my mind. First, I have a lot of supplies and dog food stored at my facility, and we need to go get it. I also lay awake most of the night wondering where Ernie’s other caches are. He was a firm believer in redundancy, so I think there must be at least one more somewhere. I suspect it’s at his house in town. It would probably be worth the gas to take Ian’s delivery truck to town and see what we can find. With so many people here already, and more probably coming, we’ll need all the supplies we can get.” “Just two of us?” “No. I think it would be safer and faster for three, or even four of us. How about Ian, and maybe Sarah or Jen? If we find it, we’ll load up all we can and store it under beds, or put it in the cavern or maybe another part of the cave system.”
