Zombies breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Crazy new friends

The guy was in leather and was armed to the teeth! He had two guns that I could see, a sword, and a machete. A shot gun was attached to his bike. He smiled and said that he had a small group in the woods in tree houses. That's pretty cool, I thought.

There is about 4 of us not including the baby on the way. I told him my father is a doctor and I was studying to be one. He introduced himself as Jake said his wife was pregnant and due soon.

"Her name's Mary." He said. "Frank and Tina are with my wife." I told him to go ahead and bring them if he wanted to. He nodded and left. I told our families that they may be back. Dad made sure the last two cabins we're ready.

Mom was watching the gate, when she screamed dad's name. We all went racing down there guns drawn. There had to be 15 big men threatening her. Telling her to open up or they're going to shoot her.

Dad aimed at the guy who seemed to be the leader. He stepped out of the trees and said " Go ahead try to pull your weapons there's 50 of us aiming at you and your men." The guy said, Fuck you!" Damn idiot didn't realize that we all were great shots.

He and his men put their hands on the butt of their guns and seven fell. We hit them quickly. The leader ran for his pickup. We didn't fire as they all jumped in their vehicles and ran. Dad said, Good job everyone!" As the drove away, I saw Frank and the other three in his group approaching.

His wife was definitely close to due. Mary kept looking at the dead guys on the ground and warily at us. Frank whispered something to her and she started to laugh! Honey said I wonder what he said to her. Me too! I thought.

Peter looked worn down in his grief, because Georgia's dad was wonderful and amazing. I walked over to him and he hugged me close. He whispered, " Man I miss him so much." I told him, "Yeah, I do too! We both wiped our eyes as we turned to the gate. It was open and Frank's group came in.

Frank introduced everyone and Dad introduced all of us. Our group was growing. Frank's wife Mary looked to be exhausted. Mom showed them to the last cabin. "We need to start building more cabins," dad said. We definitely needed to build more if we were to take in more people.

A few days later we were going on a run to get the building materials we would need for the new cabins. Dad wanted enough supplies to build eight more cabins with four bedrooms. I just hope we could find enough materials. We took the two pick ups and trailers.

I had two guys with me and Peter had two. We had all learned to use crossbows. We all had sharpened machete and knives. We also had guns just incase. Honey came up and kissed me goodbye. Georgia went to Peter and hugged him hard crying softly. He promised to come back.

Honey said please be careful and stay safe. I walked overto dad and he handed me a list of materials needed. We needed so much we would probably have to go out again. We probably would be lucky to get half of everything on the list.

We all headed towards the hardware store and lumber yards.

We looked around the lumber yard at all the treated wood. There was maybe enough for 6 cabins hopefully they had nelectricity. With Pipes for plumbing and electicity. "Gavin!" Peter yelled! " We need these?" He held up door frames.

" Yes just remember to read the list of materials that dad sent with us." I said. "What about windows I saw a place up the road?" Asked Frank. "Yes, after we fit everything in the trailers." I concurred.

***

"That's everything here now let's get windows and doors." Said Peter. We drove to the place Frank saw earlier. As we loaded windows and doors we realized that people were watching us. Peter looked at Frank and I. We nodded and we turned to face the 6 guys. " Problem?" I asked.

"No not really." Said one of them. "Just wondering what you need all this for." He said. "Well I'm Gavin, he's Peter, and Frank. We are building a safe community. "

" You going to introduce the rest?" Asked the guy. Last window was set in the trailer. " I'm Jake, this is my brother Paul and our cousins Patrick and Larry, our friends Liam and Joshua."

"Nice to meet you all." I said. "Are you all staying in a safe place?" I asked.

"Not really." said Paul. "Well gather everyone in your group and supplies that you have and meet us at the paint store." Peter instructed them. " you sure?" Asked Jake. We nodded.

An hour later we were ready to head back. Jake and his group of twelve was ready also.
We headed home with thirteen extra people. We're definitely growing. Said Frank with a grin.

Dad was at the gate as we got back. As I entered he saw the extra people and his eyes lit up. We pulled up to the clearing and everyone started unloading. We were happy, but exhausted.

Dad started counting the stuff and setting it in piles. Once everything was uploaded I walked up to dad. He said. "We have enough for 7 cabins. We need more supplies especially now."

I nodded my head. "I know dad, but this was all they had there." Dad shook his head sadly.

****

As we sat down to eat we all started discussing how to get more supplies for building. Everyone said that they would help. Then Jake piped up and said that he knew of a lumber shop in another town bigger than this one. As well as a building supply warehouse.

Dad was happy!

Georgia told Peter that he was going to be a dad. We needed baby supplies.
