I’m still alive. My escape attempt was a bust. Turned back by soldiers. You’d think they’d want to get people out of the area, but I guess this is a martial law/quarantine situation now. So I climbed back in the Security Room. Poor Janey was still scratching at the door.

Wrote a letter to my ex, Roger. I was pissed when he declined the housewarming invite. Now I’m thankful he was nowhere near this shitshow. I need him to get the word out that something terrible is happening here and the Powers That Be are lying about it. So I left out details in my letter that would make it seem less credible. I just hope he still cares enough about me to take it seriously.

I checked the security monitors for more Russian messages. That’s when I saw two guys dressed in black come over the wall on Camera 3. At first thought they were the soldiers I encountered. But these guys carried AK-47s – the “bad guy guns.” So I figured they were sent by whoever wrote that message in Russian.

Then Janey finally broke the lock. Didn’t think that was possible for someone her size, but she chased me out the window and around the estate. All the while I heard those paramilitary goons clearing out my former party guests, sweeping through the place like they knew every inch of this property.

Janey cornered me in the room where we found the coke, just as the AK-47 guys showed up. Janey killed one and injured the other before getting gunned down. I wanted to help the injured guy, but a few more “party guests” showed up and pounced. I slipped out the window while they finished him off.

I’m back in the Security Room now. Another message came through, this time in English. They call themselves "Omega" and they’re offering a small fortune to take the corpses and the stash off my hands. I gave them one of my business accounts and the wire transfer happened inside of ten minutes. So maybe things are looking up. I just hope they don’t expect me to stick around and say thank you.
