Salvage the Bones

Esch is woken by the sound of her father throwing up. He asks her to get Randall. Skeet is not in the house and Esch assumes that he is with China. After the fight, he cleaned and bandaged China very carefully. Claude doesn’t want to leave the toilet because he says he can’t stop throwing up, but Randall and Esch drag him back to bed where Randall will give him a trash can to vomit in. They suspect that the bit of beer he has been drinking has mixed poorly with his medication and is what made him sick. Randall tells him they will take instructions from him about preparing for the hurricane.

Randall and Esch start working outside and Skeet says he can’t help because he needs to clean and treat China after getting a few supplies. Randall asks him to pick up more canned goods, but they have no money. It’s insinuated that Skeet will steal the food.

Randall and Esch get to work on boarding up the windows. Junior and Esch wash up the water jugs. They also have to fill the truck’s gas tank, and cook whatever food there is in the refrigerator.
