Chapter 28: Apartment 21. Aiden Jenkins. Left Behind

Preparations to go outside of this damn building is a hassle and a half. Firstly, whoever wants to go has to 'register' their name to Jack the notepad guy, one of Grant's people. He makes a list of everyone who goes in and out of the building, so they know how many people are currently in the building at all time. How they have the list in the first place is beyond me. But I don't think they are above stealing the residents' ledger that should have been safely kept by Mr. Taylor. 

Then, Ash, Brad and I have to go into this room that used to be a janitor's closet where another one of Grant's people hands out to us each a piece of fabric to cover our heads, gardener's gloves with the silicone fingertips, a pair of big goggles that was used for diving, and a rain jacket that envelopes my whole body. The rain jacket that I get is a bright yellow colour, while Ash and Brad get inconspicuous navy blues.
