Waking up in the park Nikos stretched his body, he had crumbs all over the place, the cause was that he slept in a sheet thrown over a patch of grass, even that it was still the best spot in the park, it was situated under a tree shadow. Nikos was thinking how easy was to sleep on the couch in Gianni's house, but after the first people started coming and having nowhere to sleep, he felt guilty and a bit shy to ask to sleep on the couch, again. He moved his head in a circling motion, trying to make the pain n that was accumulated disperse from his neck, he and some volunteers had to sleep without pillows so the kids and some others could, cutting through the people that were in the park, he headed to the supermarket.

Getting inside of the supermarket he finds his assistant, who was a female ex-employee of an another supermarket chain that came to them yesterday morning, she had seen what Gianni's and he had written two days ago, the reason she came was that she was leaving in an apartment alone and feared for her safety. She was squatting down and writing in her block how many and what eatables they had.

Nikos said with a sleepy and heavy voice.

Turning her head slowly she nods at him, her face was white with comically big black circles under her eyes, the red haired beauty that always was smiling had a dead pan face.

Taking some time he asks his voice was still slow and sleepy but it was filled with concern.

Sitting up slowly she said she closed her eyes and started massaging them. Opening her eyes she looks at Nikos and with a questioning face she asks . He had slept fine it was difficult to fall for sleep but for him sleeping was forgetting everything, all his worries disappear he didn’t have to think about how much food they will need there wasn’t an ever present danger of the bugs and he didn’t need to think about her, nothing happening it was the escape from reality. Nikos said.

she said yawning and continuing her work.

Nikos said with a small smile been cautious so the people don’t think that he showed favoritism for some people, so he made her go to the supermarket office in the corner of the shop. She started walking to the office she said.

He didn’t need her for the whole day they had almost finish the work yesterday and they only had a corridor of food products to catalog, they were not important most of them were junk food and carbonated drinks.

Ending the cataloging after two hours he checks the sun outside and sees that’s is about 10 to 11 o’clock. Thinking that all the people should be awake he takes outs most of the food that will go bad without refrigeration. They had probably have gone a little bad but they had to get rid of them and feed the people getting a desk outside and putting on it all the products and started giving them to the people that were here, they didn’t immediately start coming to the desk but understanding what was happening, they started one by one coming and taking a small bottle of milk or some yogurt to eat, for the morning they weren’t many people that spoke a silence of fear for the future dampening the mood.

Finishing feeding all the people in the park that number over 30 people and giving not so cold any more coffee to the people that guarded the barriers. The people on the barrier look ruffed up, even if they were the second shift they didn’t sleep too much and they were tired and the first shift was sleeping and will not wake up for some time, very few people were able to deal with the bugs with small preparation but they had to take what they had and what they had were 8 males and 6 females that took sift to guard the barriers. These people were able to deal with the bugs, most of them had seen bugs killing humans or had killed a bug by the help of Gianni's most of them had become used to the face of a bug and were able to smash his head without bagging an eye, something that none had thought will happen.

Most people had a job to do, only 12 adults didn’t have anything to do and he would put them to job, splitting them in a team of 8 and 4, he lead the small group to the supermarket giving them supplies for 50 people and cooking utensil he guide them to cook some food for the group of people it was a slow and awkward beginning, they didn’t known each other and they didn’t know what to cook but after some they started working together.

Next was the other group supplying them with crowbars and hammers, he led them to a building finishing talking Nikos looks for questions and a little man probably closer to a boy raise his voice Nikos gave him a smile that kid thought ahead . Getting to know each other, they started breaking to the biggest building it had six flours and probably will fit all the people inside it.

With the work inside the park started picking up Nikos decided that he needed to take a break. Stealing a chair from the counters he headed to the storage that was situated underground of the supermarket. Closing his eyes he takes a breath sweats covered his body and the cool atmosphere of the storage cooled him down, but he couldn’t relax the pain from his wound hasn’t dissipated at all and his wounds started smelling quite but trying to pull the bandages of he is stopped by the pus that probably was accumulated at night, the bandages were stuck at his wounds and immense pain was produce every time he tried to peel it off, but that would be fine if his wound would stop bleeding every minute he had to stop to clean the blood, he didn’t know if this was too bad for his health but he felt very low powered.

Quitting his tries to free his wounds from the bandages he just closes his eyes and take a few minutes to rest. After some time he raises himself up and goes to check the small group cooking. They had almost finished cooking all the products that he had given them, all of them where the meat that needed refrigeration and milk based products and by the look of it they decided to put them in the pan. Nikos asked, a woman stops cooking and comes to him he remember her it was the girl from yesterday that was running with her brother away from the bug , she was shocked she looked confused and kind of exposited she looked tired but said Nikos wasn’t so happy now she looked more resign said will she started heading to the others to update them.

Taking a walk in the park Nikos meet Giannis for the first time this day he was talking to some new people that probably came today Gianys had his hair in a ponytail and had changed his clothes again, he was the only person that had this luxury. Finishing his talking about working together and that all the people here had lost people close to them he notices Nikos who was waiting for him, Giannis laughed at the respond the think that Nikos could was only smirk he said with a worrying face but Nikos assured him hearing that Giannis smiled Nikos sighed and rubbed his face before he was able to finish he was interrupted by one of the guard coming out of nowhere saying .
