So it's starting, it's only September 20th and there are already rumors of people acting violently in the streets in different parts of the country, mainly in big cities such as New York, Chicago and so on. Some countries such as China and North Korea have already blocked off communication with the outside world. With everything starting to happen so quickly it makes me question everything and just hope that our preparations were enough, after all, i have never actually had to kill anything before. We made a great deal of progress and a few days ago I sent word to everybody to meet in their predetermined locations, I myself am currently in my home just outside of Atlanta with a twenty person security detail.

I ended up having to expand this location and the only way to go was down, so I decided to turn it in to a bunker, using the basement as a start. there are enough supplies already stocked there to last fifty people for several months. Everyone stationed there has light armor, pistol, ȧssault rifle and a katana made directly in Japan, those are mostly for walkers, the people with me are among the better with swords, but nobody would really be considered good as I could only get most of us two months worth of training, to learn the basics. The people with me are all veterans that I personally healed and recruited over the last few months.

I have only really become close friends with a few of them, but that could possibly be that those two, Janet and Jamie were kinda hot in ACU's and I've learned quite well that I prefer to surround myself with pretty women than guys, but then again who wouldn't? They were with me when Andrea and Amy couldn't be, when I had to send them on errands to get things completed, over the last week, before everything finished going down the drain, I decided it was time to spend whatever money I had left over on anything I could get on short notice, I also gave every individual in my employ, including their family members, ten thousand dollars to spend on whatever they wished. I gave those that were among my security detail, and security in general an extra one hundred thousand dollars to play with but obviously I suggested to get some things they could enjoy that may not be around much longer. I myself mostly bought pallets of canned goods, bottled water, and even some pallets of alcohol for the future. Most of that will be stored at the decoy site until it can be moved here and secured, it's not really important though as we have plenty of supplies and should be fairly self sufficient depending on what our population ends up being in the end.

Speaking of population, me and my brother, William, estimate we will currently have over eight hundred individuals at the main compound, depending on how many family members are brought, about fix hundred of them have some form of combat experience, the rest are children and wives of soldiers. that doesn't really include the people being sent to the other properties though. I managed to recruit about three hundred people over the months, it didn't really take much convincing when they were healed, I felt kind of bad, the way some people looked at me, it was almost a form of worship, I kinda had to get them to tone it down as it kinda freaked me out a bit, being looked at like the second coming. But then it did make it easier to recruit so that's a plus. The closer it got to Z Day, the easier it was to recruit. Most people were just looking for some kind of security as the world around them slowly turned to shit, as by the 23rd of September people were refusing to go to work as attacks were happening in the streets, people called them riots, but intelligent people knew better, rioters don't eat people in the streets after all!

So as time for closer I made some dream offers, mostly out of boredom and to say "hey I got Katy perry, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift bitches!" Sadly they declined my discreet offer even though technically they don't know who made it anyways, as I used a third party to make the offer, I also made it to my favorite actresses, the black widow and Padme Amidala, (you know who they are I'm sure!)unfortunately I was met with more of the same, but there was always hope I guess, until they are dead, or the walking dead, anyways. They were given emergency numbers to call and in case they changed their minds.

I did manage to cheat a bit though by paying to have a concert done in Atlanta over the next few days so I knew they would be here between the 22nd and 31st of September because they were all sent invitations and all of them V.I.P'd to the event, it was quite extravagant and would be difficult to decline for almost anyone, as the invitation was sent to many artists, some of which would be performing there were also many artists in attendance, there was also a second goal to that. People. It may give me a bigger pool to draw from if they survive long enough, harsh I know, but what can I do? I did pay to have several hundred of the top security agencies to be in attendance with words of caution, such as we feared and had credible evidence of viral attack, that the infected would be obvious and should be restrained or put down without getting bit. We got confused stairs but they would learn, or not. Hopefully they would so I could draw them to joining my forces. If the show is anything to go by, which I didn't believe it was, by what it shows, we should be the most powerful group in the states at the very least especially with the way my brother came through for us.

A few weeks ago my brother rolled in to the compound with several vehicles and several dozen now ex soldiers, driving fully up armored humvees but instead of 50 cals on top they had mini guns, chambered in 7.62 calibers. The only thoughts going through my head were 'thank you god and I love you brother!'. Other than that there were several military transport vehicles, also escorted by ex soldiers, but if anyone was to do a cursory stop, with the paperwork they managed to obtain, they would have likely cleared any simple road block. Or been able to massacre their way through. Either way same result. Me and my brother talked a lot that day, about our plans and what I was going to be doing personally over the next few weeks, how we would keep in touch and how he wanted to flood me with a giant security detail, his complaints are quite justified but I also showed him how I'm not exactly helpless anymore. I showed him my ability with weapons, not that he thought it was anything but skill, but I didn't hold back and he had a what the fuċk moment or two. He probably just ȧssumed it came from the same place as my healing powers. Who knows, I didn't ask anyways. So I was stuck with a twenty people detail, all skilled and all quite loyal, and heavily, heavily armed most of the time.

****unedited, will fix things when I can use my ŀȧptop****
