"I'll keep that in mind, but I make no promises," Ezra said to Molly. "Get some sleep Doc, I move very early to avoid the sleep patterns of Blinders and be a step ahead of everyone else. I'll leave you if you and your girlfriend don't wake up on time."
Ezra moved over to his backpack, simply pulling out an old blanket and a photo. He placed the blanket over his shoulders and sat on the porch while he closed the door behind him. He made it his job to be the lookout in case any stragglers, thieves, or random Blinders came nearby. He made sure to keep his hands covered underneath the blanket so as to hide the fact that he was holding a combat knife. He occasionally glanced at the photo of his family and whispered to himself.
"I'll be there soon..."
Boris stretched his bulky arms and decided to sleep near the door in case he heard Ezra in trouble. He let out a hearty yawn and drifted to sleep.

As the sun peeked over the horizon, Ezra was already up, doing his usual morning stretches to ease his tense muscles. The sky was still dark but from the east, it was clear that morning was just arriving. He went inside the home only to see Boris preparing and taking anything he can find from the house.
"Find anything useful?"
"I found some rope and a couple of matchboxes," Boris said. "Better than nothing."
"Good, go wake up the girls while I get the old man."
Boris nodded before heading upstairs to where the girls slept. He knocked on the door, heeding Molly's warning about Violet. His big hands made the knocking sound more like pounds against the door.
"Vake up ladies~!" Boris sang. "It's time to get up!"
Ezra, in the meanwhile, was a ruder awakening. He kicked Wayne's backpack from under his head.
"Wake up old man. We move out in twenty minutes. Get ready to move."
He slammed his fist against the wall to bang against it in hopes of waking up the girls.
"Twenty minutes girls! Let's go!"
