Stella Sterling calmly placed the gold bars into her personal space.
Then, she picked up the locked notebook.
With a slight jiggle, the small lock fell off.
She held the notebook and casually flipped through it, but her eyes narrowed in the next instant.
It looked like a cross between a diary and a journal.
And what was recorded inside was quite interesting.
Stella Sterling only had to flip through a few pages to understand why the convenience store had been modified.
The owner was certainly an interesting character. The notebook contained his musings, almost like he was talking to himself.
The gist of it was that a few years ago, he had noticed the weather patterns were off and felt that something major was about to happen.
He began posting doomsday theories online, analyzing how an apocalypse was highly likely,
and even predicted it would likely be a series of natural disasters, warning people to take precautions and hoard food at home.
