all those poor people who are just trying to survive. She asks Ryan if they can stop walking around and if they can go to where the people sleep.
    Ryan looks around and sees a guard standing on a corner of a house that is no more than a few metal frames making up the wall. He walks over to the guard and tells him that they are just new and they are wondering if the boss already has found a place for them to stay. The guard looks at them with an irritated look in his eyes. He then takes a radio from his pocket and asks the other guards if anyone knows where the new guys can stay. He gets a reply that they have been assigned to Section B1, Seat 34. He tells them to follow the signs, and points at a few wooden planks with written on them.
    Ryan and Ami walk to the signs and see that Section B is close by. They follow the signs to Section B, where they start walking through the street that is made up out of small tents. Most of the tents are dirty or ripped open. They start to walk, and each tent has a number written on the front of it on the concrete floor. They arrive at number 34, which is a small two-person yellow tent. Luckily, the tent still looks somewhat intact.
    Ryan puts his bag in the tent, and then Ami says, ‘I liked the cabin more.’
    ‘Give it some time. I’m sure things will turn around. I also expected more of this place but we will see how it goes,’ says Ryan.
    There are two folding chairs on the ground next to the tent. Ryan picks up the chairs and unfolds them. He sits in one and Ami sits in the other.
    Everything falls silent for a moment; Ryan looks disappointed with the place.
    Ami asks if everything is alright.
    ‘Yes, everything is okay. I just expected more. But at least we’re safe.’
    ‘It is like you said: if we don’t like it after a while, we can leave, right?’
    ‘That’s true. We will see how it goes,’ says Ryan.
    Ryan looks in his backpack and takes out his last can of food. There is no fire to warm it, so he just opens the can, takes a spoon from his backpack and starts to eat from the tin.
    It is very silent during dinner this time; normally, Ryan and Ami would talk for hours, but they do not feel safe talking at the camp.
    Ryan finishes his food and tells Ami it is getting late. ‘Why don’t we call it a day and see how it goes tomorrow?’ he suggests.
    Ryan tells Ami to stay in the tent until he wakes up. They stand up and crawl into the tent. They close the entrance and make themselves comfortable. ‘Goodnight,’ says Ryan, and he rolls over and slowly falls to sleep.
    Ami lies next to him and just stares at the tent ceiling. She has the look on her face that she has a lot of emotions bottled up.
    The following morning, they are woken up by a speaker blasting through the room. It sounds like the boss, and he says ‘It is eight o’ clock, people. Wake up and we will see you at your posts in thirty minutes.’
    Ami and Ryan slowly wake up and walk out of their tent. They see other people leaving their tents, left and right, and everyone starts walking to their posts.
    ‘Okay, it looks like nobody is getting breakfast so I think we will just follow the signs to our post,’ says Ryan.
    ‘The guard told me you will have to stay with the women today and cook dinner.’
    With a frightened voice, Ami says, ‘So you are going to leave me? What if they find out I’m not human and they hurt me?’
    ‘I know that you are scared but, believe me, if you keep acting like you did all this time then everything will be just fine. Just don’t talk too much and never mention that you are not human. I will be back in a few hours.’
    Ryan and Ami start to walk through the street and see a few signs saying kitchen , operations and bunker . They follow the signs and they arrive at the kitchen. The kitchen is made up of a big tent with a few tables.
    By the looks of it, there is not a lot of food, and there are only a few women standing around, cutting vegetables, opening cans of food
