Line 15:
After Jane and the others are back safely, four travellers - two children, a woman, and a man with a guitar slung over his back - arrive at the ruins of the sister church from the opposite direction of Carthage. They decide to check the area to see if it is safe to spend the night there, before they check out the next town the road... The next day, they meet up with scouts from Carthage who take them back to the church. Daria and Jane go hunting with [[Martin Peters]], and while a squirrel pays the price for the girls' inexperience at hunting, Daria and Martin seem to be coming closer (especially in light of the dream Daria had the night before).
 
Upon returning to Carthage, Daria and Jane are shocked to discover that the man with the woman & children is [[Trent]], who brings news that [[Helen]] and [[Jake]] went to search for [[Quinn]] after news of the Washington explosion... Distraught over the belief that her family mayhas bepossibly deadperished, Daria leans on Jane and Martin for emotional support,. andShe also becomes romantically involved with Martin, much to Mrs. Peters' chagrin; Mrs. Peters has a strong belief that Martin has a 'calling' to the church as a preacher, and that Daria's chagrininvolvement will derail that in some fashion. She also has a heated arguement in front of several members of the church, where she demands personal information about his relationship with Daria. During their altercation, Mrs. Peters reveals that she and her husband had to marry because she became pregnant with Martin; this revelation doesn't sit well with Martin.
 
Supplies, brought in by a joint convoy of U.S. Army personnel and West Virginia law enforcement under the command of a Major Miller, bring up the spirits of the persons at Carthage. Daria and Jane speak with a West Virginia State Police officer and a Jewish chaplain on several matters including the disposition of [[Larry Carter]]'s diary and on staying in the immediate area for possible word of any survivors. Jane tells Daria that Trent will be leaving soon, but she's staying at Carthage with her until the fate of the Family Morgendorffer is known...
