In keeping with his recent pledge to begin organizing with other communnities, Marcus sends Jeremiah and Kurdy to make contact with a group led by a man known only as “Steve.” When the travelers arrive at their destination, Jeremiah is met by a girl named Michelle, with whom he had a a brief but intense relationship five years earlier. It was Michelle who introduced Jeremiah to the concept of writing letters to his long-dead father, and it is Michelle who’s actually coordinating her community’s rebuilding effort, breaking the glass ceiling by claiming that all of her orders come from “Steve.” But when someone warns Jeremiah and Kurdy that she’s using the “Steve” ruse to squirrel away supplies for herself, Jeremiah worries that she may not be the same person he once knew. He’s even more surprised when Michelle introduces him to her five-year-old son Gabriel – a child who could well be his.
