storms, it had been decided to move further up the coast to a location where the weather had been more consistent with average rain falls for the time of year. Virginia had been chosen as their best option and once he had proposed that to the President he had a request of his own to go along with it. The President had insisted that any such flights include overflights of the capital to assess the status of critical infrastructure as well as to provide a visual confirmation to survivors on the ground inside the city that their government was still function and working towards rescue operations. Any extended operation into that region would therefore necessitate the use of their sole remaining aircraft carrier to position itself off the Virginia coastline. Many of the fighter aircraft aboard the carrier had the means to be retrofitted for use in a chemical or biological warfare environment and the carrier itself was equipped with the necessary equipment to carry out decontamination procedures on flights entering those areas. Four of his scientific staff along with three analysts were slated to join the Lincoln along with portable gear for conducting analysis on air samples and transmitting that information back to Cuba for further study. They were anticipating conducting two flights a day, first thing in the morning and just before dusk to obtain the most diverse levels of samples. After the first two days on station they would have a better picture of what the virus' current state was and hopefully be able to determine from that when they could proceed with putting a crew on the ground to obtain live specimens to be transported back to Cuba for further study. That would the most critical part of the mission, it would be from those specimens that they hoped to be able to pick back up and start working towards a cure.
"Yes General. T hat is exactly what we need to do. All resources must now be focused on supporting our work, otherwise it is just a simple matter of time before we lose the whole game. You don't really think it is possible to keep the entire country of Cuba isolated indefinitely, do you? All it will take at this point is for one of those creatures falling off a ship out at sea and washing up on shore somewhere along the miles of open shoreline for Cuba to become a zombie feeding frenzy."

"So, this is how rich folks live." Calvin said with a hushed whisper as he took in the well-appointed living room and adjoining dining room areas, "my entire damn apartment would fit just in these two rooms alone."
"Ok, you've had the tour and we are not h ere to gawk. Let’s grab supplies and get the hell out of here." Garrett said as he started for the kitchen.
Miranda had volunteered to take Doug upstairs to search for medications and toiletries while Garrett and Calvin scavenged what they could from the kitchen and garage. It came as a stroke of luck when they discovered that Doug was a doctor, although he had stressed that his field of specialty was plastic reconstructive work and not the type of doctor that routinely treated patients in the condition that they had described with Kimberly. He had offered to assist in any way he could by helping to search for medications but he expressed doubt that they would be able to find anything that would do much good in any nearby home. He thought that if he could examine Kimberly in person it might be possible that he could offer a more effective method of treating her. They had all agreed to quickly search the home and gather what they could and then meet back in the living room to discuss their next moves.
Doug had told them that according to Cameron , his mother often purchased bulk quantities of a lot of staples that they stored in a spare refrigerator and cabinet in the three car garage just off the laundry room next to the kitchen. Inside the garage Garrett and Calvin found the cabinets brimming with canned goods, bottled water and sports drinks as well as a host of other
