Well I’ll be damned! Things are really looking up lately. Several people joined up with us today. A young girl named Viola, a soldier named Rielle Covington, a private contractor named Brandon Jackson, and two young girls a couple named Kylie and Jessica. Those two are snuggled up in a bunk at the Beach House. Jim and Kate are our scavenging for materials and Sugar and Serena are plotting. The crew has grown at least thirteen strong with three possible prospects joining soon. We’re getting bigger. Much bigger then anticipated. We decided to move into the resort. The place is pretty empty. Only a hand full of people live there. One fella named Jake Mueller was pretty glad to see us move in, however I think he just wants the beach house to himself. I’ll have to speak with him further about a few ideas we have for the place. Jim and Serena are over the fuckin’ moon about the move. They immediately began to think of what they could do with the Resort. I think they scared poor Kate with their explosion of ideas. Sugar is excited to be putting together our armory and getting her hands on a rifle…..eventually.

Met some good folks today, a young Mexican girl named Beatrix and her boyfriend named Ozzy, jacked MMA looking fella. I was pleasantly surprised by the couple. They reminded me of Sugar and I the man being generally goofy and polite. The girl coming off as a lost little girl but actually being pretty handy in a scrap. So, we’re giving the couple a chance in the crew. Officially, this puts us at fifteen. God willing, we will gain more then lose. Prosper more then we suffer. That just won’t be the case now will it?
