Line 11 ⟶ 28:
Traveling across the area, Daria and Jane are accosted by several men (including a serial rapist/murderer masquerading as a federal agent), scavenge for weapons and supplies in several places (a church, a deserted farm, a home where [[Robert Cord|the owner]] is found dead in his living room), and eventually find a town where they encounter [[Linda Griffin]], the mother of [[Sandi Griffin]] (a friend of Quinn's). From her, they learn that [[Lawndale]] has been evacuated due to the radiation from nuclear blasts over Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, and that [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]], along with Linda's family, are presumed dead in the explosions. After receiving supplies and promising to look for Linda's family as well, Daria and Jane set out on the road again, searching for their families.
 
After a number of encounters, including an attack by dogs in which Daria suffers an injury that may have been infected (there is also reason to be worried about the possibility of rabies), Daria and Jane come across the [[Carthage UMC Rescue Center]], where they are given sanctuary and medical treatment. They also hear radio broadcasts about the catastrophe; both official government broadcasts and a pirate program by a rogue broadcaster called [[Dr. Neon]], who provides off-the-wall humor and information the government and military don't want released to the public. Despite a series of rumors about their sexuality by a elderly female troublemaker, and Jane having to kill a man in self-defense after he tried to rape her (an event known only to one member of the church congregation), Daria and Jane are seen as contributing to the group. This is especially true after an attack by marauders, in which Jane performs gallantly under fire and saves the lives of several memebrsmembers of the church.
 
Jane is chosen as part of an expedition to check upon the welfare of a sister church in a nearby town; upon their arrival, Jane and the others find that more than eighty people have been sexually assaulted, tortured and executed by unknown persons. In a miraculous turn, however, a number of children managed to hide from the murderers, and are sent to Carthage before the churchgoers make the grisly, but necessary decision to burn the bodies of the dead.
