Mike's Diary Day 73 - That's all I Could Remember

*Morning*

I passed out I don't know for how long. My body is all aching, can't feel my legs too. My back hurts like crazy, felt like its been carved by something. Sitting up was a struggle, lying down feels like hundreds of spikes thrusting up my back. I got no choice but to try to sit up while Jack was making breakfast. He told me what happened, and that's how I knew why my back and legs hurt like hell. He asked me what happened, so I told him what REALLY did happen. 2 nights ago I believe, when I was writing down my journal, I heard footsteps, well more like shuffles. I thought it was just going to be another craze, but when I was about to get up, I felt something stinging on my neck. I then woke up from that drugs, and was hung on a pool in a room, I saw my leg and what happened to it, but wasn't sure what she had done to my back. Her face was also covered with blood, though I couldn't really see since I was really busted up. She sent a final blow and I just passed out. Next thing I know is right now, that I woke up. He asked me if I could remember the features of that figure, and YES I'm pretty sure it was a woman. She was about 5"4 and thin build. I think, I wasn't sure since she caught me off guard and just stung me with a needle. Jack only nodded. I asked him what does that mean, but he only responded "I'll tell you when I'm sure myself, until I have a proof."

*Afternoon*

I was just basically trying to get as much rest as possible, while Jack is guarding the building for the moment. He wanted to go back to base ASAP, and I mean "As Soon As Possible because I don't like where this is is going" kind of thing, but I insisted because I was to busted up to even sit straight up. He agreed, and he told me that we should go back tomorrow for sure. The situation was tense, well Jack was really tense all the time. I then spoke up and told him that I remembered a phrase that she said before that final blow. She said "Sshh.. Do not watch." Then boom. At that moment, Jack's expression was blank. I didn't know what to say so I just drank and closed my eyes.

*Evening*

Jack was hunting near the building, for rabbit or such, I just woke up and fever was at its climax. I can't feel my body, it was like I was completely paralyzed. I tried my best to calm down until  Jack came back. He re-bandaged my wound because the old one was soaked with blood. He told me once again that after he cooked and after we finished dinner, I should sleep so that I can feel better again tomorrow and take off back to base as soon as possible. I know, because he really doesn't like what is about to happen next if we stay here any longer.

*Night*
The moon is right on top of us, and it was about 11 PM by approximation. He told me to sleep while again he guards the door. He notices me writing, and now he's back looking tensely outside the window. I don't know what he's thinking at the moment. I don't know what he's keeping away from me, but secrets can sometimes backfire and kill you or your comrades.

Mike's Diary - Day 41 "Not so Useless Afterall"

I saw Jack, my face was busted. After Jack unchained me, I told him to get the old guy (whoever he is) and told jack to carry him to our base. Before I walked outside, I spat my blood on the floor right beside the villain's body and whispered 

   "I fucking told you he'd come."

Those two days outside base was exhausting. Very exhausting. I woke up from my long sleep, my body was aching, still is; however, i got my wound patched up (whoever did it, thanks.) I got up and stumbled my way out of my dusty small room and beat my way through the small gloomy hallway. I went outside and I saw people, guard mostly are keeping our base away from craze and other raiders. From afar, I could spot Jack was walking towards me.

       "Thanks." I said to him

       "No biggie, Lexi was worrying."

       "I know." I responded.

       "I need to talk to you." He said

       "About what?"

       "Your brother, and your base."

       "What about them?"

       "We had a conflict, I wanted to plant some trees, and vegetables, but your brother only cares about defense. We argued and he tried to hit me but I blocked it. Never talked to him since." He  explained

        "He is my brother. He built this base long before we came. Defense is important, but you do have a good point. I'll talk to him when I see him. Where's Lexi?" I said

         "Playing with the others, yeah I guess I can't say much, I have to get going, get your ass out of trouble, you got two holes already, you dont need more bullet holes." He responded

I chuckled "Ohh, mind if you help Jessie sorting the firearms? Thanks Jack."

I went to Lexi and her friends, she ran up to me and asked if I was okay and told me that I'm stupid going off alone. And the old guy, she asked. I couldn't care less, he's still sleeping, he saved my ass after all, and shit I forgot to ask Jack who the old guy is. Lexi just starred at me and said 

    "This is bullshit Mike, I don't wanna play with other girls, I wanna help. Teach me something new, join the the crew to gather supplies, all that stuff."

     "Well why not start with helping Jack and Jessie with the firearms?" I asked. She smiled, biggest smile she has ever given me since i was gone for 2 days. Then she ran away, and she left me here, alone, peacefully, writing on my journal.
