God i forget how bad the hangover after a two day bender can be. Well lets get this all written down. it may take a couple days worth of entries but ill get it done.

The first day the mechs were still around and they helped us crusha nd lay in cars for the barricade wall. we cordoned off an area two blocks square by stacking the cars about eight feet high down the center divider. we made a alleyway to the area we cleared for the mechs trailer. kind of like a lopsided dumbell. we put up simple cattle panels to block access.

That night the governor called us on the radio and we filled him in on our plans. After a moment of silence, he said "i have someone who will want to help you." We were a littel confused but we'd take all the help we could get. our unknown assitant would roll in with the truck drivers on the last loadout of equipment.

We were curious to say the least. the absolute last thing we expected to drop off the running board was a 5'11" strawberry blonde with a colt 45 on each thigh and a remington 870 marine magnum slung across her shoulder. She reached in a pulled a duffel bag out of the cab and thanked the driver for the ride. We were standing there gawking like a bunch of schoolkids. Dressed in british DPM camo and a bright red beret she was a sight.

"Close your mouths boys. Bug might fly in there." Jeds mouth snapped shut with an audible "clop" sound. She strode over with a saunter. "heard you boys were going head hunting. Mind if i join in on the action?" Matt made a sound like dying fish. "Names Alice. It used to be something else but the first guy i came across after the outbreak swore i looked like the chick in that movie "resident evil" that was named Alice. Being as everyone i ever knew was dead, i decided it was time for a change."

I nodded. She carried herself like an Amazon warrior. She'd do just Fine. I stuck out my hand and introduced myself and rest of the crew. Matt and Jed both were still standing there like mimes with the switch pulled. She walked over put her finger under jeds chin.

"Not a chance littel man. But think about this when you're spankin' your monkey tonite." then she french kissed him full on the lips. Matt about passed out. She then looked matt in the eyes and whispered something in his ear. Significantly obscene im sure. Both of them were seemingly in shock. I grinned and motioned for her to come to the house. "lets get you bunked in." i grabbed her duffel in some sort of gentelmanly attempt and its weight about tipped me over.

"Careful. thats heavy." she glanced over her shoulder at me and grinned. "I have more toys than what you can see." I LIKED this chick. Jay looked at me and started laughing his ass off.

"Dude your face is a red as a 55' corvette." I was the subject of some well deserved ribbing for a few minutes. I Led Alice into the house and set her up in the front entryway. Its tight and it gets cold in teh winter but for now it works. Alice dumped her stuff and helped us load the trucks. We filled her in on our plans for the sweep and clear. She took it all in and sat back for a while. She nodded her assent. After that we chatted a bit and she filed us in on her past. it was quite a tale.
