After a walk through the bustling city, they make it go any supermarket as they enter the see a row of cashiers and further beyond is an assortment of things on the shelf but first they get a cart and go to get some water.
Kayla:Can I get in the cart
Ethan:No, remember last time when I look away and you pushed the cart then you got in and crashed in a shelf making a mess
Kayla:but that was fun
Ethan:For you at least, I paid for the damages, so from now on you have to be close to me
Kayla:Fine....
Despite her disappointed tone there was a hint of happiness. They reach the part of the supermarket where they have stacks of plastic cases with 40 water bottles in each case.
Ethan:Umm 2 of us, at least 1 bottle a day each, three cases should be fine for the month
He looks at Kayla as she looks away whistling as he just sighs, and put the 3 cases in the cart.
Ethan:I got little extra money in my account, what would you like to eat
Kayla:Salmon
Ethan:All right
On the way to the fish sections, there is a fruit and vegetable/fruits section as they some bags of a variety of vegetables and fruits they make their way to the fridge area where there are frozen fish are, but they see a worker with black hair and eyes and wearing a white shirt with a red apron over it that shows that they work here and blue jeans and white shoes, the worker is putting a white sign with black letters on it.
Ethan:excuse me what with the sign?
Worker:Oh, early this morning the government said that someone contaminated the water in California and to stop selling fish products from California and they closed off a part of the ocean, and that's our main supplier for fish
Ethan:Oh....closed off the ocean.... well thank you
Worker:no problem
He goes to Kayla and explains the situation.
Kayla:Bummer I guess some spaghetti will do
The two go get many other food and buys them then go to their apartment and Ethan puts everything to where it belongs as their kitchen is a oven, counters, microwave, and Table with 4 chairs. After everything is settled he goes to the living room and sees Kayla laying in the couch.
Ethan:Are you hungry or can we wait a bit
Kayla:I can wait for a bit, but not too long
He goes to his room and sits down on his bed and takes out the journal and starts reading on the right page.
"So the Government closed off apart or the entire ocean, well it looks like one of them made it past the barrier, and if that's the case then you have about 60 days before disaster strikes, on the next page I have coordinates that you will need to head to, but please cor your safety go in them in order, and these coordinates wont sense if you use a normal map so in my office which I assume you made into your own room, in one of the drawers of the desk is a wooden box with the letter C engraved on it, when you open it should be a device out the cords I to that and it will lead you to the coordinates, do these and your gift will show itself, last thing for this page, when you complete the first trial you will get a cloth and give it to your friend Kayla, hehe I remember the two if you causing chaos in the apartment when you were kids, good luck son"
A singular tear rolls down Ethan left eye as he closes the journal and places it on his bed then takes a deep sigh and he leaves his room and goes to the kitchen. He goes to Kayla who still in the couch but changed into the bigger sweater as she laying on the couch.
Ethan:are you ready for my cooking
Kayla:can I help?
Ethan stand there and having flashbacks.
Ethan:Next time
Kayla:I'll hold you to that
Ethan gets all the Ingredients as he starts boiling the noodles, making the sauce and the meatballs. As the process takes a while but the end product is some noodles with a amazing red sauce with 3 meatballs on the top. He puts them on the table with the some utensils and he divided to make some homemade lemonade, he gets two water bottles and pour them In a container then puts in some lemon juice straight for the lemon and a bit of sugar as he swirls u till it dissolves and sever it in two cups with 3 ice cubes in each cup.
Ethan:Dinner is served
Ethan sits down on a chair as he watches as Kayla quickly takes off out the couch and runs to the kitchen and sits down.
Ethan:calm down the food isnt going anywhere
Kayla:it could go in your stomach, and plus this smells pretty good
Ethan:thanks
She grabs a fork and eats a bit then speaks.
Kayla:was this taste better than usual, you gotta teach me your recipe of the sauce
Ethan:That's a family secret
Kayla:ugh, fine....
Both of them enjoy their food and drink in a comfortable silence as they finish at the same time. Ethan looks up and see Kayla in a deadpan face as she has sauce all over her mouth.
Kayla:What? Do I have something on my face?
In silence he gets up gets some paper towels and gives them to her, as he sighs.
Ethan:Next time try not to make such a mess
As he says with a slight smile on his face as he ruffles her hair and goes to his room and closes the door.
Ethan:"I got a job at midnight, I should see what my father was talking about in the journal, since u got the time"
He opens the drawer one by one then he finally finds the box that his father wrote about, he opens and he sees a smooth disc that a inch thick and it grows four legs and it crawls up onto the desk and a light blue screen appears above it and is semi translucent.
