Scott, fully calmed down, looked back at the road. there was nothing there. "Thanks, Mavis. but still... we had no idea tension was even rising between the USA and whatever country it was that dropped that bomb. it was never on the news. for all i know, there was no recent enemies." Scott sat down, criss-crossed his legs, and simply thought to himself: what countries hated the USA and had access to nukes?
Mavis furrowed her brow at Scott's breakdown and placed her hands on his shoulders. It was a little hard, being shorter than him by at least a head.
"Calm down, Scott. Breathe in, breathe out," she commanded. Unknowingly she followed her own advise, inhaling through her nose and exhaling through her mouth. "There is no use panicking now. We need to keep our heads on our shoulders. There will be a time for taking everything in, but we have to find cover. Now! We can make it through this, just don't panic!"
Mavis moved to the wall and placed her forehead against it, lost in deep thought. Lithia's voice broke the silence and Mavis shook her head at her words. "Nuclear wars take the element of surprise. Everyone in Hiroshima knew something was coming but they didn't know it was going to come from the sky. We were probably passed out for hours. Much could've happened."
"Is it really a surprise we almost go into a war for crossing the red line with a country that has no problem bombing it's enemies and then all we did was training exercises, nothing inherently offensive or threatening...but our new president for lack of a better word is an offensive loud mouth who likes the flaunt power he has no idea what to do with...odds are the got scared and struck us before we could strike them...I mean he started a fight with Australia, name one conflict or war you know Australia to be in off the top of your head, they're practically more friendly than Canada and Sweeden put together...if I were I'd probably be scared too...question is, what do we do now?" Lithia looked around their surroundings, there was cabin a secret hide out and it was surrounded by forest, a good place to hide but they couldn't just sit forever, eventually they'd need supplies.
