Over the past week and change, New York City had descended into chaos and mayhem. Thomas had been watching their collection of food dwindling with ever-rising panic. Flashbacks to his past were happening more and more often until one night, after dark, when Lena walked into the kitchen to find him staring into the nearly empty cupboards.

"Two cans. Just two cans. Some bread. Nothing, there's nothing."

"Thomas," Lena moved over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. The room was only lit by a flickering candle, which made Thomas appear slightly menacing. "Everything okay?"

"Two cans. Only two cans. Can't do this. Two cans."

"Uhhhh-" Lena backed away from Thomas and edged over towards the stairs. "Guys!" she called up to Jamie and Roxanna. "Guys, can you come down here for a moment?!"

	Jamie raised his eyebrows, mouth slightly open in surprise. "I'll try talking to him," he said, taking a few steps toward his father. "Dad?" he called softly. "Dad, I'm over here, I'm fine. Are you OK?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thomas glanced at Jamie, but there was no recognition in hi eyes as he turned back to the nearly empty pantry. "No, no. No, Jamie. My son. There's nothing. He's going to starve and I can't do anything. I'll give him everything we have left, but it's still not enough." Lena just stared blankly, completely unsure of what to do. (Reply to this) (Parent)
