I wake up and realize that it is much more silent than it has been recently. Maybe They started work early and didn't decide to talk. But, whatever it is they obviously arent around my house. I take a shower in cold water and get dressed looking at myself in the mirror. "I have got to start working out some more" I say. I go to the kitchen and eat some granola clusters and drink some of the homemade apple juice from the garden and the workers who maintain the garden. "They should really start making alcohol with some of this" I say finishing the small glass of apple juice and the granola. I go into the living room and begin to work out seeing i don't have to work for a few days. I do 50 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. I finish the small amount of exercise and head outside to help some in the garden. I pick apples and help build a greenhouse for the day, winter is here so we'll need the greenhouse to survive through the winter. I look astonished on how much work we have done today we built a greenhouse, picked enough fruits and vegetables for the whole camp we have in this neighborhood to eat on for a week, maybe 2. I begin to walk around as the sun sets since there isn't a curfew, "This camp has thrived for a while, its civil we all can work as a team and everyone pitches in" I mumble to myself. "I might just have to stay here and make them my family. I must forget about everyone and everything else. I need to just settle down and stop running ill only get myself killed if not" I keep walking as I see a few of the guys walking near the front gate I walk towards them as I see they're confused. "What's going on?" I ask questioning of the men. "Hank went beyond the gate with a few guys to scavenge and they haven't returned yet its been a few hours and the area they told us they'd be in is really close" The guy who i found to be named Andrew answered. "That is pretty baffling I haven't seen Hank do that. We need to send a search party out tomorrow to search, if they come back later tonight come straight to my residence and pound on the door and ring the doorbell." i say starting to turn to headback "Okay" Andrew says as i begin to make my five minute walk back to my house. I head inside and eat a small amount of cereal and head upstairs to sleep.

I wake up to a pounding on my door as well as a few scratches and my doorbell rings I realize it is already 6 in the morning. I get up and walk downstairs and look out the window. Its Andrew and he had a dog with him, he looked towards the window I was peeking out of. I went and opened the door, "I havent seen him all night or any of the few guys he took with him. We need to set up that search party and we will head out when you give us the okay." I walk out the door and lock it as i begin to walk with andrew "I want 30 men who are trained in combat as well as use of weapons, they also need to be people who know how to deal with the undead. If Hank hasn't returned by now then he might have been taken out by another group or even the undead." As we near the gate Andrew radios a few people and apparently some of these men grouped up and stayed in houses together, he only radioed 2 or 3 times but 40 people had responded. I sat down on the curb next to the gate waiting for the group to pull up in whatever vehicles they were bringing. A total of 3 cars and a semi pulled up. the 3 cars held 15 of the men and the semi which had the top cut off held the other 25. "I guess I can go with 40 instead" I said as I went and made sure each carried 2 knives or a longer blade like a machete or a katana as well as a hand gun or a shotgun. "Our weapons make noice anyways so bring enough ammo to try and take out a horde of a 150+" I see some people shiver at the words 'a horde of a 150+' I begin to get them back into the vehicles as I put my AR on my back and put knives in several holders on my body as well as the sabre I grabbed from the museum which was still really sharped and refurbished. "WE WILL HEAD OUT IN 30 MINUTES EVERYONE" I yell to my group "MAKE SURE TO ENJOY THESE 30 MINUTES. BECAUSE THEY WONT LAST LONG SADLY" I go and grab the vehicle (SUV) that Andrew, the dog, and I can ride in. I fill the trunk and most the seats with rations for all of us for a few days and ammo for a large horde. I begin to drive it to the gate knowing its been 25 of the 30 minutes. I make sure every vehicle has some more extra rations and ammo just in case for the last 5 minutes. I get ready to go out and yell, "LET'S GO EVERYONE"
