Self Defense

We swear it was self defense. All we wanted to do was get to Justin's truck. A group of thugs took a break from looting the Sheriff's patrol car to inform us that this was their turf now. We tried to reason but one of them pulled a gun. Luckily it didn't fire. Troy went for the knees, Andy threatened the rest with his crossbow. It seemed to work on a few, but one charged in. He ended up with a machete to the jugular while the second found a knife in his throat after trying to fire his weapon.

The rest finally backed up and allowed us passage.

It has dawned on us that the Sheriff is on his way back and our night has taken a very grave turn for the worse.

Once back at the truck we inspected the weapons and ammunition and found no defect in the firing mechanism or the gun powder. We have also concluded that matches don't strike, lighters don't light and gas is not burning.

What we do know is that the rain keeps falling and those survivors still need medical attention.
