Entry 154

We made it! I was gonna try to build it up so it sounded more dramatic and shit, but I’m just too damn excited. We. Fuckin’. Made. It! More than halfway across the country, countless miles, often hungry, always afraid, lost friends, the bernies, the Haven, the cross-huggers, the community, the pirates, the facility, Vegas, Nellis… Now, finally, we’ve reached them—Kilo fuckin’ Company, baby!

I was so happy to meet Hicks, I almost went full homo and kissed him right on his face. I didn’t, though. That dude was no joke. He prolly woulda beat my ass or some shit. Regardless, I think they were just as happy to see us as we were to see them. Well, maybe not, but who cares?

I was in the back when we got there along with the others, but I was sound asleep. The entire day had just exhausted me, and Seth was heavy on my mind. Pair that with the vibration of the truck, and I was asleep in minutes. That was cool, though, because at least I didn’t have to deal with the anxiety during the last leg of the trip. The truck must’ve stopped without waking me, but the pounding on the side of the trailer had me up on my feet with my gun in my hand immediately. Once I realized what was going on, I tucked my pistol away and moved to join Lilly, Kylee, and Boyd at the rear of the trailer.

It was already full-on dark outside, but as the trailer doors swung open, we were blinded by the white wash of light from these huge stadium-style lighting rigs. When my eyes finally adjusted, my heart swelled at the sight. The four of us stood there in a tight group staring out at nearly sixty men in full combat gear, lined neatly in formation, and standing at parade rest. We were in a huge, open field with visibility for at least a mile in every direction. It was the perfect spot; plenty of time to assess an incoming threat, and plenty of room to make an escape if necessary. One man stood out in front of them, barking something that I couldn’t quite make out over the hum of the generators running the light rigs.

As Don and Nick appeared from around the side of the trailer, half carrying Seth, Hicks approached us with two other men. The formation dissolved as the rest of them moved off to occupy whatever stations they were assigned.

Hicks looked like your typical battle-hardened marine. He was in his mid-thirties and had a short, scruffy beard that looked like he tried to keep it neat, but the circumstances wouldn’t allow it. His fatigues fit him loosely; no doubt from losing weight, but we could still tell the dude was probably ripped underneath—mostly because, even though he was stocky, his shoulders and chest were shaped like a ‘V.’ He had the unwavering glare of a leader, one that was respected even before words leave his mouth.
