Dazed & Confused

[At the Abandoned Casino]
{Sam's POV}

     I tiredly stumble in, feeling exhausted from walking 17 miles from a random road not far from the bunker to here. I walk through the empty place, looking at all the cobwebs and dust everywhere, as well as all the broken lights hanging from the ceiling. Jeez we need to clean this place up. Not right now though, I'm way to tired for that. I rub my face and open the door that leads to the basement, instantly getting hit with dust. I start coughing and swatting my hand to get rid of the dust.
"Oh god," I mumble to myself while still coughing a bit. I instantly sneeze right after before heading downstairs. I hit the light switch as I make it downstairs. The place instantly lights up with bright white lights. I squint my eyes a bit from the bright light burning my eyes slightly. I rub my eyes and head over to the mini fridge, opening it and grabbing myself a cold Dr. Pepper. Now this feels nice. I take a sip before putting the cold bottle on my cheek to cool me down. Walking 17 miles in 73 degree heat isn't fun at all. I take a deep breath before setting the drink down on the counter. I walk over to the car garage part of the basement and look in the mirror we have there for checking for oil or such on your face, looking at the cut on my face, Damn I got myself pretty good. It's a long thin cut from my nose bone to my cheekbone. Worse case scenario it'll probably turn white. I don't know if it'll be visible or not. I shrug a bit and open the cabinet right by the mirror, grabbing some hydrogen peroxide, cotton balls, and butterfly tape. I turn on the sink underneath the cabinets and wash my hands before I start washing out the cut, trying to get all the dirt and stuff out of it, wincing while doing so. I grab a towel and softly pat the cut dry before grabbing the cotton ball and drowning one side of it in hydrogen peroxide before patting that on my cut too, I grunt and wince in the mirror. I take a deep breath before stopping and putting two butterfly tapes on it. I dry my hands and throw away the cotton ball, putting the rest of the stuff away before placing my hands on my hips, looking around for something to do. This part of the building is already fixed up and shit so, I guess we start working on the other floors? Maybe the top one? I grab my drink and head upstairs to the third floor. We could make it our V.I.P room where all of us plus some other friends hangout and I could buy us a couch, maybe even a pool table. I could try to build us a bar and get us a TV. I don't know how big that room is so I'll figure the rest out later. Oh wait shit, I don't have my wallet. Shit. Now how am I supposed to fix this place up? I didn't plan on jumping out a car. I thought it would just be a small drive then we'd go back to the bunker and actually get some sleep. Dammit. Should've brought it just in case. That was stupid. I huff loudly and open the door, revealing a big room, probably as big as the front room of that one room we had in the Red Rock Hotel in Vegas, connected to two smaller rooms next to each other across from me on the opposite wall. We could make one a meeting room and one an office. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. But first I need to clean this place up and buy us some furniture. As well as some wood cleaner since the floor is wood. I think I still have the cleaning supplies from last time I was here still in the basement. I set my drink down on the floor before heading downstairs again and grabbing the broom and dust cleaner. I run back upstairs and set the stuff by the door before pulling out my phone and texting the group chat,
