Josh rubbed his arm as he heard that and sighed. “It’s a long story, or I guess a complicated one. But I’ll tell you.” Josh said, though he paused for a moment when the approached the man. “Oh hello. Yes. I am Commander Frye. Are you two here to get a patrol route? We’re setting them up around the inside and outside of the zone perimeter.” He said, his voice rough but had a kind undertone. Josh looked at Soren and then to the Commander. “Uh yes sir. We were wondering if we could patrol near the far side, closer to the bay? My name is Officer Joshua Smith and this is Officer Soren Truelson.” Josh introduced them as the Commander stood there for a moment thinking the request through.

Kai looked at Hayden when he was released from the hug. His eyes followed the finger, pointing to the shark and then the bigger one. “Really?!” He asked, awe and wonder on his face. He giggled at the poke to his chest. “I’m like a shark?” He asked, turning to Hayden with a wide smile. His eyes were wide as he looked between the sharks on the page and then to Hayden.​

Now Soren was more than curious, but they were kind of busy. He tucked away the thought and hoped that he would remember to remind Josh to tell him this story later. Perhaps when they found themselves on a patrol. “Though we are happy to patrol wherever you need us and do whatever it is that we can to help, to be frank, sir, we have people who are aching to know what the world they used to know is looking like, and we promised to go look if at all possible for them.” This was not exactly a lie though it was hardly the full truth. He was not sure that saying he wanted to search for personal items was something he could get away with yet, especially to a Commander that he did not know. “Besides, the further out, the more dangerous it gets. We are happy to take the risk for our people.”

Hayden giggled himself as he bent down with his hands clasped together and on his head. “We are just like sharks!” he exclaimed as he popped up, top half bent over, and he pretended to swim around in the universal way of doing so. “Come on, little man! Come be a shark with me. Remember, they may look scary, but they aren’t scary at all. They’re just creatures like all the rest.” He eyed Jacob and moved close to Kai. “Sharks do get hungry like every other animal. They like to eat schools of smaller fish and even some plankton. We saw those in the book.” He pointed to Jacob. “You know what Jay is?”

The Commander looked at the two for a moment. He mulled both of the comments over and nodded his head. “It is definitely a more dangerous part of the zone over there and if you’re volunteering then I see no problem with it.” He finally said as Joshua’s eyes widened a little and nodded. “Thank you sir.” He replied and the older man nodded. “Besides, you seem to have a mission and the General has mentioned both of you and how well you work together. Take a truck and head out.” He said. Josh nodded once more. “Yes sir. Thank you.”

Kai giggled as he watched Hayden pop up, and he tilted his head a little before he laughed and copied him. “I’m a shark!” He said, walking bent over like Hayden. His attention was drawn when he heard him then looked at Jacob. “Jay is a fish!” Kai said, turning towards him. Jacob shifted, hearing that and popped up, taking the stance of a fish. “Oh no! Two sharks coming to eat me!” He said, backing up as Kai advanced. ​

Soren was impressed with just how well they seemed to get away with what they wanted to do. As they got the go ahead, he nodded appreciatively and took a step back to dismiss himself. “Thank you kindly,” he answered as he moved away, grinning at Josh as they headed for the trucks. They could pick up supplies on the way. Thankfully, they seemed to have things all over the place. “I really should have had you this entire time. I get much more done that way.”

Hayden smiled at Kai and Jacob as they slowly stalked towards their prey. “Sure, it’s scary that sharks have to eat fish, but it’s no different than the people who have to hunt for our food. Everyone needs to eat something, and sharks are carnivores. They eat meat.” He bent down to Kai’s level and looked at Jacob. “And he’s delicious meat. We should go eat him. How should we capture our food, little shark?”

Josh looked at Soren as they moved away and he chuckled, hearing his words. "I.. I didn't do anything but ask." He said quietly as they headed to the trucks. They stopped and grabbed some guns, because it was unknown just what it was going to look like out there. "I can only imagine how happy Jacob will be if we can get some of his stuff, especially his pictures with mom." Josh said as they walked.

Kai looked up at Hayden and then at Jacob. Hmm. He thought about it for a moment. "Jump attack!" Kai suggested, as Jacob seemed to 'freeze' in place, watching the two 'sharks' coming towards him. He shook his head as Kai swam towards him. "Jay! Food! Fish!" He giggled as he looked at him.​
