Day 21

Day three of our stakeout here. Me and same are taking shifts to make sure one of us is always awake.

From the looks of them inside and over the radio, it looks like most of them are moving out for a while. It could mean that we could get in and out without being spotted, let alone having to deal with a bunch of them...
But we still have to wait, and it's strange, its a different pace of life now; slower and subdued. Obviously ignoring the occasional shot ringing out that scares us to death but which is only the idiots taking shots at Rani who get too close.

Day 2

I was hungry, the supplies he had given only lasted a night, and I couldn't bring myself to eat his food. I knew it was a bad idea, but I had to get to a shop. It was either Tesco or a corner shop nearby. I figured that Tesco was slightly closer, and was larger with more escapes so I could probably get out if there was a problem.

When I left his house it really hit me. How quiet everything was, not even birds were calling. I had only really heard, or rather not heard I guess, this when walking on the Brecon Beacons. In a strange way it was beautiful, but at the same time it was haunting as I knew deep down this was wrong. I made it slowly to Belmont Medical Centre which had a pharmacy next to it. With the door ajar I knew something had happened there. How? Because they have those auto close door things. I edged in to find it clear, but the bracket on the door had been broken, hence the it being open, this was obviously deliberate. I hesitated, but knew that they'd have some powerful stuff here which I may have needed later on. Luckily (10) a note was posted listing a few things for what I could only guess was a new employee. Including drugs that contained morphine. I grabbed a bunch of each thing, including things that I really shouldn't discuss, because they may come in handy later, and I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise would I?
As I turned a shadow loomed in the door

"Get out!" it shouted "and drop the gear"
I didn't move. I did however see something start running for this man. I shouted and ran for him, and he obviously didn't hear me correctly. He struck he down and stepped forward, and in doing so saved his own life. The Rani rushed into the door instead of him and stumbled back, and in the same instant the man slammed the door in it's face knocking it back.

He pulled me up and looked me up and down "Keep the pills and get out"
"Sorry but that thing is out there" I almost laughed
"And it always will be unless it has something to chase off. Now you ruined my base, so you will fix it"
"Please don't, I don't want to be out there alone. Can't we kill it? Get it away like that?"
"I'll tell you what, I don't like the look of you, and seeing that the world has gone to shit, I think I get to choose who I hang out with."
"Surely not? If the world is ending we can't choose our friends, we could be the last two alive ever"
"And I would rather die than spend it with you"
He picked me up by the neck of my clothes and dragged me to the door, opening it and throwing me out. I would have run back but by then the Rani was up and kicking.
I had no choice. I screamed a... I'll say 'thank you' for this purpose... to the man in the building and ran faster than I did the day before, straight down the alley knwoing I'd have to climb over a fence at the end.

Thinking about it, knowing my luck that man is probably working with these guys...

I hope you make another day
