Day 9

The high school campus was like most every other newer high school in the country, complete with a large football field with bleacher seating, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and a way overpriced architect’s fantasy of a school building. All compliments of the taxpayers. However, I didn’t think they ever imagined the armed guards with rifles that were patrolling on the roof. I guess none of that mattered anymore under the current conditions. The perimeter of the large parking lot had a fence of a sort. Someone had taken surrounding stalled cars, lined the edge of the property and stacked those two and in some places three vehicles on top one another.

“They must have used a large front end loader or forklift of some sort,” Stephen remarked as we drove up. “The City of Joliet owns quite a few front end loaders and I believe I can hear one now running somewhere.”

Several dozen people could also be seen walking around on the other side of the barrier, all looking like they had somewhere important that they needed to be five minutes ago.

Slowing down at the “gate”, our convoy pulled to a stop. The gate basically consisted of a small bus that they would jockey back and forth across an opening in the perimeter. I guess it worked, but I would want a better, more permanent gate for the long term. The size of our caravan – our three vehicles following in behind the other two arriving cars – had gathered a bit of a crowd, which was forming on the other side of the vehicle wall. Several people with firearms stopped at the gate, and a thin white man hopped over the wall holding a pump shotgun and approached the lead car in front of me. After a short conversation that I couldn’t make out, he cautiously walked up to the ambulance as if I was a new type of zombie that could drive.

I rolled the window down and told him we were here to enter the safe zone we kept hearing about.

“You folks have anyone injured? Anyone that’s been bitten?” he asked.

“Negative,” I shot back. “We’re all healthy, and there’s five total in my group.”

After a bit more questioning, he ordered me to drive inside once the gate opened and stop near the tennis courts for a medical inspection as a safety precaution.

I told him I understood their concerns, and as he waved me through, I radioed back to the group what we were to do once inside.

They directed us to a vehicle parking area, and once we got out we were led to the fenced in tennis court that they set up as an intake area for new arrivals. It was separated from the rest of the facility by chain link fence, where a medical technician took our temperature and a few other tests. The other two arriving cars had a total of seven people, and they were to get checked out first. While waiting my turn, I talked to their group leader, a guy named Brett.
