Chapter Fifteen
Mike and Trevor made the way to their north Phoenix home without further incident. Because their home was so far north of the city center the violence hadn’t hit there as much. The stores were out of food and supplies but had been boarded up rather than being destroyed and burned by looters. As Mike pulled into his neighborhood he noticed several people in the street who hid quickly when they saw Mike’s truck. To Mike it looked like Rick and his gang were still around and terrorizing the neighborhood. At Mike’s house the heavy, steel, security door was shut but several windows were broken. On the ground floor, that did intruders little good because Mike had left the steel plates over some of his windows. However, a second floor window was also broken and there was still a ladder leading up to it. Mike and Trevor entered the house with guns at the ready. They quickly cleared the rooms and surmised the intruders had left the ladder there when they exited the house after finding the little food Mike had left in the kitchen. That food was gone and several closets were ransacked. Mike manually opened the garage door as Trevor removed the ladder and put it in the mostly empty garage. After Mike backed the truck into garage they shut and locked the door and headed to the shelter. It was obvious the shelter had remained hidden from the intruders above. The hidden hatch was undisturbed and all the supplies were where they left them.
After loading the truck with furniture and supplies Mike put a tarp over the truck bed and tied it down tightly. Mike called Emily on the Satellite phone and told her what the house and neighborhood looked like. They decided it would not look good to let others in the area seeing them coming and going with supplies. Since some of the neighbors had obviously been in his house and found nothing. If they realized he had hidden supplies they had nowhere to go but down. Mike said he would take as many supplies as he could to the 2nd basement. The access to that was hidden from view even more so than the primary basement was. If intruders discovered the primary shelter they would not realize there was another one 5 feet under it. Mike and Trevor left just enough supplies in the primary shelter to appease any possible intruders so they would think they had gotten everything. Mike and Trevor also decided to until about 2:00 AM before they left the house. They did not bother to replace or cover the broken upstairs window. If intruders wanted to enter the house they were getting in. Mike just wanted to make it difficult to get in tools and heavy digging equipment inside.
After moving the supplies to the lower storage Mike and Trevor had MREs and waited for night to fall. Just before dusk they heard a knock on the door. Mike checked the peephole and saw Janet and Todd Douglas.
