It only took Benny about two minutes to get back to his small house at the edge of town, and he only went through about three streets, but could notice something odd. Odder than usual. The fact the people that he never thought would be out in this kind of weather were out. Tons of people were walking about town, even though they would usually be working on the farm at this time. And not to mention, they had that same, sickly, and a bit crazy look on their faces. Something weird was going on, and Benny didn't like it. Nothing ever went on in this small town, and it wasn't the time for that to happen. They were having a horrible drought the whole summer, and the crops were dying. They didn't have the time to take their attention away from work on the farm to handle everyone getting sick.

As Benny drove down the rode to his house, he almost turned into the driveway, but noticed the bright orange hair of the tall woman ahead and drove ahead instead. He sped up to get next to her and called out, "Nina Kerinina. What in the world are you doing here?" He had gone to high school with her, though she was a year under him. Even then, he still would hang out with her from time to time. There was only about 150 students altogether in Orem Valley High School.
