act like an adult and you don’t start fights for no reasons. Mike if the girl don’t want to eat, let her starve.”
                  The one person Dena was actually afraid of was Tanya. Jim told me that Dena wanted to test her father but Tanya told Dena, not Mike that if she thought she could break the rules because she's a kid, she was sorely mistaken and that she would take Dena to shore and leave her there.              
    I don’t know why Dena was starting now. Maybe she was annoyed that Keith had the spare room or maybe she finally realized Tanya’s threat was empty.
                  Dena ate three more bites and dumped the rest of her food back in the bowl.
                  “Good night,” she said and then left the room, walking to the back cabin. The food threat was empty also. Dena kept a bunch of power bars in a bag that she thought her father didn’t know about but as Tanya told Keith, this place has no secrets.
                  No one said anything about her outburst but Mike still looked pissed. He sat and put food on his plate.
                  I ate my food. I was hungry. Being out all day had given me an appetite, but I didn’t enjoy food the way I did before. Now I was eating to live.
                  I didn’t lose weight and I didn’t care. The obsession with thinness, the desire to look like a super model had gone out the window since the models were probably all dead or zombs. I almost chuckled at the thought of a zombie Kate Moss refusing to eat human flesh because she might gain weight.
                  I finished my food and took my plate to the sink and washed it. I always thought that we should wash our own dishes except for Brie, and Mike who prepared the meal. I went back to the table and took the bowl for Henry and went back to our cabin. Henry sat on the bed wearing headphones watching a movie on one of the portable DVD players. Once all the batteries died, that was it. No more movies. I read in my spare time and tried to go to sleep after dinner.
                  Henry paused the DVD and took the headphones off.
                  “I brought some food.”
                  “Chili?”
                  “Yep.”
                  “No thanks. I had some crackers. Really looking forward to spring. Never want to eat chili again.” I didn’t tell him it’s likely we’ll be eating chili even when we got off the boat but at least he wouldn’t throw it up.
                  “You should have come with us today.”
                  “Nah, I always go and I gotta give the others their turn.” I didn’t think that was true, but Henry was a good guy. “Besides those things give me the creeps. Heard some shouting, anything up?”
                  “Just Dena testing Mike.”
                  “Yeah, I told her to chill out. She told me to shut up.”
                  For some reason that made me laugh.
                  “You coming to bed?” he asked, he touched my hand.
                  “In a bit. I have to bring food for the new guy.”
                  “He cool?”
                  “Seems okay.”
                  “I’m gonna hit the hay after this is over. I’ll leave a light on.”
                  I didn’t reply. I left the room and went back to the salon. Simon was clearing some of the dishes. I dumped Henry’s chili back into the pot which was a quarter full. It would be breakfast because we didn’t want to waste electricity for the fridge especially since we didn’t have a lot of perishables. At least now we could use the outside.
    Without a word to the others, I grabbed the bowl for Keith. If he was still asleep, he could eat when he woke. I went down to the crew quarters, and unlocked the door.
