The Slum where Jessica and Lizzie live is one that is based off an old Garage, on the fringe of the Slum Block #5. Inside it is a relatively small room, that holds a beaten old couch, a tiny black and white TV propped up on a stand, numerous white plastic garden chairs and a couple of rugs to stop the floor from being cold. There is also what could be interpreted as a Kitchen/Bathroom area in the corner, made up of a camping stove and a washbasin filled with water. Finally, the bedrooms seem to be made of a pair of sleeping bags covered with a duvet in the small curtained-off area at the back of the room.
Interestingly, there seems to have been some sort of party around here recently, with banner shouting 'Happy Birthday! hung on the walls, streamers from party poppers swept into corners and finally an old boombox in the corner, beneath a pile of small books...

When they were all safely inside, Lind looked around for Ashley.

Ashley was at the back of the room, sat on the couch asleep...

Lind smiled and left her to sleep for now.

Meanwhile Jessica and Lizzie began to talk together excitedly...

Lind turned to the CATS pack and shrugged "I guess just make yourselves comfortable until we figure out what to do next..."

"What do you want to do next then?"

Charity asked...

"I don't know...but we can't really stay here forever, things are getting worse and worse out there..." Lind replied, scratching behind his ear and looking a little overwhelmed by the whole situation.

"So... Escape the city?"

Charity asked...

"It's probably the best option...unless anyone can think of a better idea?" Lind asked.

The other cats-kids nodded,

"Settled then!"

"Okay then, we'll leave as soon as everyone's ready" Lind replied, heading over to Ashley and putting a hand on her shoulder to try and wake her up.

Ashley woke up, but didn't open her eyes,

"What is it Lizzie?"

"I'm back" Lind replied, smiling.

Ashley looked up, and quickly glomped Lind with a hug,

"You're back!"

Lind returned the hug, "Of course, sorry it took so long, but lots of wierd stuff happened..."

"The new Kids?"

Ashley asked with a smile...

Lind nodded, and turned to introduce all the kids to her.
"Jessica's the one talking to Lizzie over there, and this is Charity, Randy and Patricia. They're a CATS rights group..." he explained

Each of the CATS-pack waved, except Patricia who nodded,

"Ahh" Said Ashley, "Were they in the mall then?"

"Yes, we all agreed it would be better to stick together, so here we are" Lind replied with a smile.

Ashley smiled and kissed Lind,

"My hero!"

Lind returned the kiss, and then replied.
"Thanks, though they helped me out as much as I helped them, if Charity hadn't shown me where Jessica was I'd probably still be wandering around the mall looking for her..."

"Sounds like a regular great team!"

Ashley replied...

Lind chuckled,
"Yeah, I guess so" he replied with a smile, as the theme to the A-Team got stuck in his mind...

Lizzie and Jessica finished talking and made their ways up to Lind and Ashley,

"So have you thought about what we're doing next?"

Lizzie asked...

Lind nodded, "We can't stay here, things are getting worse and worse in the city, I think it would be better if we left it entirely..."

"So, how will we be leaving?"

Lizzie asked...

"The highway maybe...but however we get out of town, we're going to need a vehicle, preferrably one that can manage off-road...Since we won't get far in the desert without one..."

"That's a point" Lizzie said, "Do you own a car?"

"Yeah, if...anyone here knows how to do that?" Lind asked, since his own car theft skills were...none-existant!

The others shook their heads...

"Well bang goes that plan then...and the airport's probably been levelled by now, so no getting out there either...and it's too far to walk anywhere..." Lind mumbled to himself, looking deep in thought.

"...what about that ghost town, it's fairly close-by, and it would give us a place to hide out for a while until things hopefully calm down?" Lind suggested.

"Ghost town?" Ashley asked, "What Ghost town?"

"The one out in the desert near here...I think it used to be a tourist attraction or something a while ago..."

Ashley shrugged,

"Never heard of it! But if it exists, think the place will be in good enough condition to lay low for a while?"

"The desert climate tends to keep things from rotting as quickly, so hopefully the buildings should still be sound..." Lind replied.

"Besides...I can't think of anything else, so I'm happy to take any better suggestions?"

"The only other thing I can think of is stealing a helicopter from the airport, of we knew how to fly one!" Ashley replied with a smile,

"Or wiii could just hole up hiiire?" Randy suggested...

Lind returned Ashley's smile, then turned to Randy "We could...but explosives have already gone off in the city, and who's to say the next one won't be here..."
