"Marcous, where do we go now?" The older girl cocked her head. "Without Mom and Dad, we've got nowhere to live." "Let's see what's on T.V. I don't want to talk about this anymore." He answered. "Can I go upstairs and pack?" "No. Agus, keep Koilana here. I'll pack for you guys." He picked up the remote and turned on the T.V. Then left the room. Spongebob was on, the T.V. was a bit fuzzy, but it was always like that. Koilana laughed at every part the older girl thought that was stupid. After two or three episodes, Marcous came downstairs with three bags in his arms. He started humming a song that sounded familier to Agus. He shrugged to the door. Agus picked up Koilana and opened the door. Some odd stench filled her nose. It wasn't so bad, but it made Koilana plug up her nose. The three siblings hopped into the car and Marcous tried to turn on the car.
The battery was dead.
"Dammit!" "Watch your mouth!" She watched as Marcous got out of the car and got some jumper cables. He pulled up the hood and did something that Agus couldn't see. "Will you hurry up?!" SHe called out the window." Some people were limping around the streets. Some wearing hospitalized gowns others in casual clothes or bathrobes. They were pale with some scratches on them. After the car was able to start, Marcous threw the cables in the back. And started the engine again. It ran. "Listen to her purr." "Will you shut up?" They drove off, not saying a word. Her brother ran into some people along the way, but she watched them get but up. Some.
