As Max and the others were getting some sleep, the teenager was woken up by a *ding* followed by a system notification that was flashing a red alert warning. After he read it, he understood who the system was talking about, his mother.
He thought of getting up and going to her but with the drawback of no location technology, he had to rely on the map that only had the location of the place they were heading to. He also thought of running to her but they were a day apart.
Max began to panic as fear, anxiety, and worry overtook him. 'What do I do? I can't leave everyone here and guarantee that I'll make it in time.' Now that he got all his rash emotions out of the way, Max decided to sit back and wait to see what the system would tell him. There wasn't anything else he could do but wait.
