Part 2-
Several long months had passed since I had been rescued by the group led by Eli. I came to find out that all of them had been involved in the massacre, all had been reported dead by the police, who were trying to control the outbreak of panic at the time. Yet they were all here, very much alive, and still very much the same group of pariahs who had instigated the horrible events of that day. Several of them had been killed by SWAT at the park, and a few simply vanished into thin air. The police and other government agencies had started a silent hunt for the group, which had begun to expand slowly through back channels. At a certain point, they had branded themselves The Watchers and began to search for the members who had gone missing from the park or who had been taken by the shadow agencies circling them.
When the outbreak of the plague happened The Watchers split apart. The two who were there at the group's split, Screw, and Zee, refuse to tell me what happened. The only thing Zee would tell me about it was, "Things played out the way they had to."
Screw told me that Zee ended up with the scar across his nose from the split, but he too wouldn't elaborate past that, saying, "It's better if you don't know."
We've spent our time together roaming about in the armored assault vehicle known as a BEARCAT. Most of our time has been spent scavenging supplies to keep the vehicle running, and to keep ourselves alive. Surprisingly, none of us has caught the plague or even shown the symptoms of it. It would appear that the other-self has maintained his promise to each of us.
There has still been no sign of the cure, but the death rate has significantly decreased with the dramatic loss of population density.
Now our sights are focused on a military installment that was set up to act as a strategic outpost during a mass pandemic. From the scarce intel, we've been able to induce that the base has most likely been recently abandoned. Reaching it will take a lot of time and patience, but with any luck, the base will be an excellent vantage point for the goal of starting the New World.
