Mike's diary Day 65 - Two Fuckers, We're Being Watched.

          I woke up beside Julie this morning, I saw her yawned
          "Good morning." She said. I smiled and looked at her 'hand'.
          "Do you wanna anything on that?" I asked.
          "Yes, anything would be good."
          "Knife?"
          "Sure"
          "Okay, we will get you patched up once we get back to base." I said to her.

I got up and checked the surroundings, while Julie was looting for some supplies. That morning was very sunny, breezy, all I could see UT the window was a torn flag waving in mid air, unfinished construction buildings, and some craze. Once Julie was done, I told her that we are going to a hospital near by to loot some medicine and other important stuff that we might be able to take.

            I walked outside with my iron sight aimed down, I checked if the coast is clear, and I signaled Julie to follow right behind me. We turned left back to the ally way, proceeded our way through, and turned left on the second house. The road was empty so I decided to me a run across. We did, I could see the hospital building clear from where we were at, and I couldn't wait to see what's inside. For another 35 minutes walk, we arrived on our destination. We went inside, not too many craze so far, so Julie and I handled it though sweat. We started looting the stuff, first aid kit, alcohol, bandage, painkillers, and many more. I then proceeded my way to the emergency room, and I opened the door, I was greeted by two guys. Yup, they're all dead now. I talked my way out.
             "Remember us?" One of them said
             "Nope, not a bit."
             "You destroyed our base."
             "Oh, the Valors?" I asked while taking few glances behind them.
             "Where is the girl?" The other asked
             "Or we'll kill you."
             "Oh you mean that one?" I gestured with my head to look back when Julie stabbed the guy repeatedly in the neck. I took my gun and fired at the other before he could slash Julie's other hand off. Once the gun fire went off, all I could hear was craze's scream and footsteps.
              "C'mon we gotta run." I said.
We ran away from the kitchen, trying to get out of the hospital, but we were blocked by a horde. We decided to find another way, but with no luck, we found dead ends. Our last hope was upstairs. I led the way, I pushed our way up and slashed some heads off along the way. We were terrified, I almost peed in my pants. We found a  door, I breached it open, waited for Julie to come, and closed it. I held the door with all my strength from the craze who were trying to get a piece of us. I quickly told Julie to find a metal to use the door. After a struggle, she found it, but it wasn't strong enough, so I decided to jam the door with anything we could find. We found chairs, sofas, and tables. Great, we're stuck now. Julie was breathing heavily, but was still able to throw out a smile or two. The sky is turning orange, it's getting dark, and we're stuck on the roof. Julie and I have to think of something tomorrow if we still wanna live for another day. In the other hand, I am worry that the other back at base are looking for us (well obviously). I hope everyone is still in one piece by the time we got back, especially Jack. One more thing, I hope the valors don't find their way to our base before we got back. They probably did, if they didn't, how the fuck did they know we were going to the hospital? Even more odd when they said
                  "Remember us?"

As if they were expecting our presence in the building. I am pretty sure, everyone (even the ones in our base) is being watched. Is it possible that they have an inside men, or women? I'm going to stop writing right here because Julie is telling me to eat.

Mike's Diary Day 36 Sept 18th - New Recruit Jack

I couldn't sleep last night, I was hunted by an unpleasant feeling; It felt like another storm of raids are going to hit our base. Off I go outside our base, the breeze, the smells of grass, and the full moon makes everything so gloomy and dead. I figured that we are low on painkillers and first aid kits, so off I go to the closest pharmacy I could find. I'm going alone, because everyone is asleep; Halfway across the bridge, I heard screams from the main entrance of the city, without thinking any longer I rushed to where the source of the noise comes from. I saw a group of people, 2 guys 1 girl were being cornered by these fuckers. I didn't know what to do, but then I remember that I brought some molotovs along with me. I light them up, then threw it to the crowds; I saw a guy running towards me, sadly only him who survived in this horrible night. He said "Thank you, name is Jack", "I'm Mike, now come help me gather some painkillers. I need you to guard the door.". This was supposed to be a one man mission, but then it became 2. Gathered some stuff, I was distracted by all of these drugs that I need to take when suddenly the door bursts open. "Shit! Run!" Jack said, we were overran by craze and cutters so I took off with him through the back door; It was a close call, thank you to him the new recruit.

Day 19, July 15th 2013 - Reunion.

12:10 AM

"MIKE HELP !", I heard Lexi's scream, woke up and rushed outside. I saw Lexi was using her bow and I also saw Jess and Greg. I grabbed my baseball bat and  took the craze down one by one of course with the help of Jess and Lexi. "This is your camp huh?" Lexi asked them. "Yes" Jess said, "we almost fucking raid it." I said. Jess thanked me and said sorry and all that about what happened at her house. She asked me what happened, and I told her I broke my ankle, passed out, and Lexi took care of me, and so on. We sat down and ate our deer meet that we had left cuz it was starting to rot. Here we are in the jungle on our way to Toronto again. Victor, I thought, my other cousin. He lived with my brother, but moved 2 months before this happened, perhaps he knows where he is. So I told the group we're heading west now to Manitoba. We packed up and did a vote, either we go through the jungle, wet, dirty, safer, shelters are easy to find, and hunt for food, or city, not so safe, scavenge for canned food and weapons, and the possibility of cars. "So?" I said, "city?". "I'm not going anywhere without you Mike." Said Lexi, "City it is." Jess responded. We went out of the jungle to an open road, we decided to rest in one of the car, 1 guard the rests sleep and so on. I'll try to Hotwire a car tomorrow to get going.

Day 18, July 14th 2013 - Easy Today.

12:32 AM

We decided to gather everything we could today and continue for our journey. We as usual looted some houses and stores for food or weapons. Or even survivors, "Can you whistle?" She said, "well that was random, and yeah. Why?" I said, "well I can't." She kept bothering me the whole day by doing that weird blowing sound that people make when they can't whistle properly. After a long walk we decided to stop at some drugstore and went in. When we were inside boom, craze of course, what else do you expect? A cute fucking puppy? I only wish. "Try your bow and arrow. Right in the head." I said, and she did it ! One shot thats all she took. I nudged her head proudly, "good job kiddo." Then I went and took the other 2 out. I asked her to wait for me outside while I searched the drugstore, nothing was there, so we decided to continue the long walk. "Do you know anything about the rebels?" I said, "yeah my parents were in it. Don't even bother to ask where they at. Last time I saw them, they were heading to the military base in Quebec." She responded. I saw a smoke, so we followed. We went to some small campsite but no one was there, I was about to go in but Lexi convinced me not to and just watch the camp from several distance, so we did. We waited there for so long, but no one came so we decided go into this tree. Right, inside it, theres room for two, so we think we're going to spend the night there. Today was an easy day for us, and Lexi proved me she can "kinda" handle herself.

Day 17, July 13th 2013 - She's a Pretty Good Shot !

1:21 AM

I woke up this morning, soup was on my side, water, and some tylenols. I looked around me, barbwires everywhere. "LEXI?" I yelled, but no answers. I'm starting to get worried, I try to stand up and walk, though I'm still limping. I yelled her name once again. God, where are you kiddo?. I walk outside with my shotgun, and follow the footsteps. Fuck, a craze, so I walked around it, cuz I don't think I could take him in this condition. The footsteps led me to an alley way, so I followed. When I walked out the alley way, a fucking arrow went right in front of my god damn nose. "Holy fuck." I aimed my shotgun at her. "Mike! She yelled." She said "I'm sorry I thought you were something else. Holy shit." She ran up to me and hugged me. "I was so scared Mike." Said she. "I know Lexi, I know." I said. I asked her how did she find the bow and arrow, but then she responded "why didn't you tell me you HAD a bow and arrows?" , fair enough I guess, "who taught you how to use it?" I said, "myself.", "Let me see?", "sure." She holds the bow, puts the arrow on the string, pulls it, and lets go, of course she missed. "Fuck." She said, "haha. You suck.", "thanks." Se responded. "Here." I said, I took the bow and arrow and I fired it, "Bulls eye." Right on target. "Here." I decided to teach her how to use it properly, she deserves it. "Your welcome." She said, "for what?", "drugs, food, taking care of you. I almost got my ass eaten by those fuckers.", "Thanks." I said. "Hold the bow. STRAIGHT.", "geez, cranky much." She said. "Yeah whatever,  put the arrow, on the left side of the bow until you hear a click." *click* "very good, now aim but not like aiming guns. Close your right eye instead of your left. And now two fingers on top of the tip of the arrow on the string and one under it.", I held her arms so it stays straight."Straight." I said. "Okay okay!", "now pull the string, keep your elbow points upwards and pull until your thumb touches the bottom of your chin, and when let go, keep your holding arm straight still or you're gonna make the arrow flies somewhere else.", I waited "release when ready." She did it, bulls eye, it went through the sand bag. "Good job Lexi", "thanks ! High five!" She said. Yeah I gave her that one. "Thanks Mike.",  no problem.", "about your brother, what should we do after we found him?", "We go and join the government's forces." We walked back to the garage. "What if they're all dead?", "I don't know Lexi, let's hope not." I said. We decided to take a break from that practice and I think I'm ready to go tomorrow. Who knows what happened to Greg and Jess, hopefully they're still alive. I decided to eat my soup and drank some meds. Lexi is now drawing or writing who knows what. I'm proud of her.

Day 16, July 12th 2013 - Get Well Soon

1:59 AM

I woke up this morning, and prepared the canned food to eat for breakfast. I opened it put it in a bowl and woke Mike up. He's injured pretty bad, his ankle got twisted and now he's having a fever. I took the bow and arrows and had a little practice and went back to Mike. Hope you get well soon. I barricaded the entrances and windows, and got some barbwires running around them. "Mike I don't know what to do." I whispered to myself, but of course he didn't answer. It's been almost 36 hours and he's still lying down here. I didn't know what to do. "I'll be back, I promise." I said to him. I went out with the bow and arrow, a crowbar and my backpack. Perhaps I could find some aid kit or some more food for him I thought. So off I went, I searched every single store but they were all the same. Food, water, food, water, though they are useful, all I really needed was a gauze and some fucking tylenols. That's when I decided to go through some small alley. I saw a craze, sleeping, I thought this was my chance to try my  ability. Pull the arrow backward, aim to the head, and. I fucking missed and I woke that fucker up. I'm fucked, I thought. I ran as fast as I could and I went up some ladder that leads to the top of the building. I went down the attic, and lohombehold, a drugstore. Just what I fucking need. I took all the drugs, meds, gauze, and everything I needed (basically everything.) then I went back to the garage. I boiled some water for Mike, and gave him 2 pills of Tylenols. He drank it and went back to sleep. I hope he'll get better soon because I don't know what to fucking do without him. I gotta make sure this building will hold until he's feeling better. I'm sorry Mike.

Day 12, July 8th 2013 - Her First Kill.

12:16 AM

"Hey kiddo, wake up." I said. "I'm sorry mike." Said she, "About what?" I said, "About your little sister, I'm sorry that I stole the letter from Dion to you too." I guess we can never escape from the past. We ate, we didn't talk, just ate. The craze and the cutters were still outside, so I made a plan. I distracted the the craze and cutters, bait them and I told Lexi to throw both molotov when I give her a signal. I boosted her up on the roof, I said to her, after you threw the molotov, hide in the attic. I will run and meet her back in the attic in 20 minutes, and if I don't I probably need some help. I'm counting on her on this one. "Don't miss." I said, "I know, teamwork?", "teamwork yeah." I said. I went out and yelled as loud as I could and ran for my life. I went pass Lexi and gave her the signal. Boom right on fucking target. "Nice fucking shot Lexi, keep doing it." I yelled while running away. I waited in a store, looted some stuff and made sure there are no more cutters or craze around the house. I found some candy, then went back to the attic. Gave her the candy and she loved it. We got out of the house safely, we walked back crossing the border, we were planning on going to  rural areas like the prairies, but then we encountered some bastards. These guys killed a guy, cold blooded murderers. We followed them into the forest, and then we found their small post. Since she wanted to help, I had to teach her roughly on how to aim her revolver properly. I think she can handle the gun. I sneaked on them, put one of them on choked and killed him. My hope was high but one guy spotted me. I almost died man, but then I heard the first gunshot from Lexi's. Right through the fucking head. I shot the other two guys and that was it, 4 in total. "Keep doin' it kiddo." I whispered to myself. She seemed to be in shock, I understand what it feels like, killing people for the first time. I asked her if she wants to talk about it but she said no. I guess, this is it for today I think, she looks tired and about to fall asleep. Me too actually, kinda sleepy. I guess we'll continue the journey tomorrow. Brother, hope I can find you soon.
