CREATURE CONFRONTATIONS: Sam and Jake
Jake had kept a back pack by the door to his room just in case. Hot knowing where he really was, because Goodland and Fake New York were all good and well but didn't really tell him much, he wanted to be prepared for anything. He'd collected a few essentials, flashlight and batteries, a thin but effective travel blanket, protein snacks, water. He had tape, plastic bags, rope, a couple bobby pins because those damn things were meant for so much more than hair. He had a utility knife, as well as a dagger stashed in the bag too.
He had the pack on the floor when Sam came down. he heaved it up to his shoulders. "No worries," Jake said. "I've just been trying to assess the situation out there. Can't really tell much from in here," he said. He hadn't ventured out. He wanted to be there when Sam came down so it didn't appear that he'd ditched him.
