"Good morning Mike!" Julie said. She has been there in the tent, I didn't even know that she was there the whole time.
"We have a new comer, name is Evelyn Rider." She adds. Wow, one day I gone unconscious, we have another new comer, Evelyn Rider? Cool name. I thought to myself
"Huh?" I said. Just before Julie opened her mouth, this "Ms. Rider" came in.
"So you're the leader of the group?" She said while reaching for my hand.
"Don't, I'm sick." I responded.
"Okay then so where are you guys heading next?"
"First of all who let you join this group?"
"Victor, I believe."
"Who else is with you?" I interrogated her
"Sam, my dog." she said.
I didn't say anything and just signaled Julie and Rider to go outside.
"I'm Mike. Nice to meet you too." I said just before Rider exited my tent.
I gathered my thought, changed clothes, and drank some more water before I actually to go out of my tent. Man the smell. We really need to get out of this man hole as soon as possible. When I went outside my tent, I saw Jack running towards the group.
"There... uh.. mmhmm... there are.. two guys near by. What do you guys want to do about it? Mike?" He asked.
"Everybody pack up." I said, and they did.
"I'll go see them. Jack follow me, but don't let them see you. Keep a safe distance. Rider, you think you're useful?" I said
"We'll see."
"Okay I need you to signal the others once we confirm that these guys aren't bad." I said.
Off Jack and I went to approach these groups.
"Who's there?" One of them asked
"Friendly, don't shoot." I yelled
"How many?"
"A group. Let us pass? We want no trouble."
"You have guns? or food?"
"Yeah. Look we can only give you some food." I said
"Yeah that's fine." One of them answered.
I signaled Rider to give the signal to others and we started walking towards them.
"Hey, you didn't say you had some girls." One of them said
"I forgot to mention that. They were talking about girls." Jack whispered to me
"We're not letting you. They're our friends."
"I mean we can always share." Said the other.
"Here's your food." I said while handing them some of the food.We continued walking when BANG! They opened fire. I didn't know how to react, but the first thing that I did was turn back facing them, hid behind a tree (everyone did this), and Jack opened fire.
"Right in the head!" Jack yelled
"Nice, the other one is mind." I yelled back. I don't know why but Jack and I think this as a game now, we're merciless, and then BANG, I shot the other one in the torso, then BANG-BANG, twice more, and he's dead. We took the food back, and we just casually walked pass those dead bodies. Oh, we also took the guns from them which is a bonus in our part I'd say.
"What.. Whatt was that?" Rider asked
"That's how we do things around here if there's someone threatening our friends." Jack said
"You're going to get used to it." Julie added
Rider stood there in shock, but we continued to walk. After 10 yards away, I looked back and yelled
"You stay with us, you survive. You stay still you're dead."
Then all I could see was Rider trying to catch up with us while breathing heavily. Well I guess this is her first time witnessing this. After thirty minutes walk, my fever relapsed, I collapsed, sitting down, using a tree as my support.
"We.. I can't. Set the tents here. I'm sorry guys." I said to the others, but they did it anyways. See I just don't want you guys to know that I have a bullet in my shoulder, and I cover it with a sling bag so you guys are not worrying about me. I thought to myself. The pain became unbearable, I tried my best to stay conscious, and not make the pain so obvious. I think this is why I have fever, infection, plus I fell into that shit hole made it worse. Just sleep it off I thought, it'd be better. The only thing I remember is my diary is opened on my lap, and I'm sleeping against a tree without anyone in the group noticing.
