Dear Mom and Dad.

We passed through some small town about an hour back. I guess that's what the checkpoint was all about. There was even still some people there! Didn't see any kids though, and everyone was carrying a gun. We kept a lookout to see if Sage's van was parked anywhere, but didn't see it and didn't want to stop although we did swap over driving. This one soldier tried to stop us and ask questions, but I threw him back and we're back on the road.

Dear Mom and Dad.

Ran into another checkpoint. I guess someone must have warned them, because they started shooting as soon as they saw us. I shielded us and cut through the barricade. Andy wants me to add that we're pretty badass these days.

Dear Mom and Dad.

Still on the move. Andy's still driving. Still no sign of Sage's group.
