Officer Beeman leads the way north along I-57 to the town of Manteno. Along the way you pass a sign that says "Welcome to Manteno! Population 8,379." It does not take long until you reach Exit 322, E Co Hwy 9, which leads into downtown Manteno. Following along Hwy 9, you pass through the town, which swells with refugees. Most refugees look like they are survivors of the Chicago blast. There is electricity in some places, but it seems the power grid has been overtaxed and there are blackouts in many places. The few places that have power are catering to the refugees in ways they can, although there is no extra shelter space remaining. A few people have set up soup lines or bread lines that remind you of stories you have heard about the Great Depression almost a century ago. You hear that Manteno High School in the north part of town has a number of volunteers who are helping people out with various kinds of aid. Medical supplies, food, and shelter in the high school's auditorium and gymnasium are all things said to be available to refugees there. People say other churches and schools might be offering similar services. Officer Beeman also asks about auto supplies and is directed to Lang Auto Parts on the south side of town.
You have come a long way, but many things remain to be resolved. Aziz still needs medical attention. Your vehicle must be repaired. And you still know very little about the atomic blast, why it happened, or the state of affairs in other parts of the country as a reaction. And what of the second blast over Gary, Indiana? Was there an attack upon other cities as well? These questions and more must be answered as the day progresses.
