"First time around, we didn't," Derek admitted. "Who would have thought that the internet would wager war? We had nothing. With time, we had some radios, but it took a while. It's why it took so long or the resistance to even come into resistance. No way of communicating with each other. It was easier the second time around. I knew what we'd need."
He grinned. "We did cheat. Cameron, Martin and I started stocking the tunnels before Judgment day. Cans, powder, pills. Let me tell you, it's not easy to get pills for radiation and suits. Cameron started dating a Marine, we had his unit at the park with us when it happened, managed to get them all underground, start the resistance. If people wondered why there was so much stored there, they weren't going to ask at that point. Still, I'll see what we can do. If we can do something."
Derek snorted. "My idea of a date is being free. No machines, no people, a clear sky, alcohol, having a time and place to stop thinking about the war, even if it's for a few minutes. Shutting you up with kisses isn't a bad idea either," he answered, chuckling.
