I dislike actually having to make decisions but it was really time to get out of here, we shouldn't wait too long or things might actually become too bad to travel. I had decided on another place to travel though, I had actually forgot about it for the most part.
That self storage place that was in the other webisode, it also happened in King county and that poor girl was held captive by BJ or whatever his name was for weeks I think. I don't really remember the premise but I'm fairly sure I can find the place. We can check it on our way out of the city.
There is only really one that fits the description after asking the others if they knew where any were so that was the one we would hit.
My only real concern right now is that I know that the military will be active for somewhere between another week or two and I trust them about as far as I can toss a Stryker. Especially with my safety. I'm also fairly sure that some law enforcement is still active for at least another week or so as well, though probably ineffective.
And with that we decided to try our luck at the facility for a little while. After we checked that we would then head to the Quarry and use it as a stepping stone to drop off survivors should we find anyone worthwhile to actually bring back to the farm.
We all armed ourselves for this jaunt into the world, we all had light bags that had a few bottles of water, some food and several extra magazines for their weapons, simple and sweet just how I like it. The bags were only set up that way so we had enough ammo to escape if we needed to.
With that we headed outside back to the vehicles, being as careful as we can to make sure we don't get our asses bit by sneaky walkers.
We were fine of course, I drove my car to the Chevrolet, the girls following behind closely, we were all dismounted a moment later. One of the girls was about to get inside the car when I put my hand on her shoulder to stop her.
She looked confused for a moment until I started kicking the tire of the car and making some noise, rocking the car. The girls back up quickly, freaked out when arms reached towards the front seat and a walker began climbing out of the car.
The girl about to get in, Selene, looked freaked the fuck out about what almost happened. I simply put my knife in the temple of the zombie as it tried to stand up after falling out of the car.
"Ladies, this is why we check before we enter anywhere or thing." I tell them while bringing the shaking girl into a hug to try to calm her nerves.
After cleaning out the front seats and rechecking the car for anything else problematic, Selene gets in the passenger seat while Taylor drives. I know Selene was the one who loved it most but she was too shaky to drive at the moment.
With that done we all loaded up to search for the storage facility.
—————————————-
As we arrive It doesn't look as overrun with dead bodies and stuff as I remember but that was also probably a few weeks from now. For the moment I grabbed the crowbar and forced the same door open that Chase did in the series, we waited til dark until we went in, I was hoping the bastard was asleep or something. He had to sleep sometimes after all and couldn't watch the cameras forever. It was 3AM so hopefully he's asleep or tired if he is even here I guess.
He hasn't intercepted us yet so that's something I guess, the girls are lagging behind by a corridor so as to watch my back as well to not get everyone in the same line of fire if he shoots around a corner randomly.

A few minutes later
It took a bit to find the security room but we did and the monitors lit the room with light enough to see. And I could see a big idiot sitting in a chair with his chin tucked passed out with a bottle beside him.
I make my way in quietly as I can and remove his rifle and hand it to one of the girls, the next thing I take is the revolver sitting on the desk. That should be everything. "Hey asshole!" I bellow into his ear and he freaks out hard, jumping up only to get a but stroke to the face, he drops like a sack of potatoes.
"Was that really necessary?" Emily asked in her slightly timid voice. I just shrug. "I'll apologize if the bad vibes he gives me are unwarranted, let's check the area first, groups of two. Olivia stayed with me as I zip-tied his hands behind his back and checked him for more weapons only finding a pocket knife.
"He should be out for a hot minute, let's check around the area darlin." She just nods and we exit the room, I obviously checked the cameras before leaving to check for if I could see anything interesting but it was clear.
After a while I heard one of the girls yell for help and I took off like a shot in the direction of her voice. It sounded like Desiree but I wasn't sure. I could hear Olivia running behind me as well.
It only took a good few seconds to find them, and I shouldn't really be surprised with what I found, the guy really was a creeper. There was Kelly already tied up to a large bed in a storage locker. I just sighed, thought one of them was actually getting mauled or something horrible.
"Well damn." I mused out loud, seeing the hot girl in lingerie was hot, seeing her terrified expressing less so. "Uuuuh ladies, ya wanna deal with this? I think I might be a slight detriment to this ordeal? Also keep your weapons from her just in case she is crazy, ok?" Not that I thought she was honestly I'm just trying to instill survival in them. They nodded and I waited outside for her to become decent.
After a few minutes I heard a quiet thank you behind me after someone explained I TKOd BJ and Emily gave me a look like there had better be no 'I told you so's' waiting for later. I just shrugged at her trying not to laugh at her look.
"I know you have been through something horrible but I'm going to ask anyways, are you ok ma'am?" She grimaced but still looked thankful.
"I will be much better when his fat ass is walking around brainless or simply even dead." She muttered in a cold voice. I just raised my hands in surrender. "We can always just throw him out of the facility while literally hogtied, that seems like it would be an amusing fate for porky." I told them all, checking there willingness. They mostly shrugged or smiled a creepy smile that sealed the poor fat bastards fate. Sorry dude I was mostly joking but your fucked.
With that we put fat bastard on a cart and rolled his ass outside where I literally hogtied the poor fucker and left him to his fate as he screamed himself hoarse through his gag, then I secured the door as best as possible.
"So y'all wanna just start cutting the locks? We all had bolt cutters so it wasn't hard. I was also curious if we would find anything useful. It was a good sized facility and we were planning to stay for a few days at least.
—————————————-
The only really useful things we found in all our days of searching was some camping gear, a few knives, machetes and even some samurai swords. I'm unsure if the swords were legit or fakes but I would check later regardless. We also took blankets and bedding, pots and pans and shit that would be useful, we also grabbed any fishing gear we could find as that's always useful. Well I may have lied, there was also a motorcycle that one of the girls was absolutely drooling over, it was amusing as fuck to watch honestly.
I didn't know squat about mechanics but apparently one of the more reserved girls, Selene, was a closet mechanic and could work on bikes and oldish cars easily enough.
