On the Rooftop.
Charlie continues to fire scoring
three hits before the creatures are beneath their line of sight.
Charlie speaks as he shoots. "First off, my name is Charlie, not Geronimo." One zombie dressed like a postman falls down with a bullet through the eye.
"Secondly, I don't like white people, especially pale face assholes who order us Injuns around like we're on a reservation." He says, as a second
one falls , this was a teenager.
"Thirdly, you got a shotgun and I got a carbine. So I reckon you should go down there and play hero. Me. I am going to ping these other fuckers coming up and then try to find a way to that hotel behind us."
The third shot
is devestating, blows one zombie, dressed in what appears to be a female jogger, head open like a melon.
As Charlie finishes speaking a large aircraft flies in from the West towards their location. It looks like a C-130 Cargo plane.
OCC- If Luke wants to try to convince Charlie to go down, he should try to offer some kind of bargain and roll on that skill. If you want a positive ID on the plane, roll Know.)
Outside the hotel
Azadeh sees that the creatures are too close and attempts to fire off three more shots before retreating to the house.
The
first shot drops a creature that looks like a real estate agent. But the rifle jams on the second shot.
"Shit. Piece of useless American plastic! Inshallah!" She reaches for her pistol and makes a hasty retreat to the office and then the communications room.
As she enters she says, "The creatures are at the restaurant." She says. "I don't think our defenses are ready. I suggest everyone come here and we can use our firepower to advantage."
Ellen and Jenny are moments behind. "They are here."
Azadeh hands her pistol to Ellen as she tries to unjam the AR-15. She grabs a multifunctional tool from Mr. Foos kit and begins to quickly take the rifle apart.
(OCC- note that only two running zombies remain. Behind them are four walkers. But behind them (now about 3/4 mile away, are about 180 more).
On the Road to the North-
Michael turns right and heads east. The road is empty and flat, gravel and little more. When he looks back he doesn't see the creatures that had been chasing him, but when he looks over his shoulder, to the south and west, he can see them, more distant now, but still in pursuit.
He continues to drive East he sees a sign that says Brownson and below that Western Nebraska Technical College. It points to the South and other dirt road moves in that direction. The road also continues to the East and there is a sign that says, to Route 385.
As he thinks about his decision, a helicopter, what looks like a state trooper's helicopter, flies nearby, apparently in the direction of Brownson. Further East he can see what seems to be a rust tinged fog rising up near the road and what looks like a pickup truck that has gone into a ditch. There seems to be a man stumbling in his direction. It is too far away to pick out the details.
In the Garage-
Baldin looks at his watch. "Let's go, let's go. We got less than five minutes to get there and we're going to be late." He yells from the truck.
Randall, seeing Bo's condition, goes to help but
cannot help the wound "Looks like the bullet proof vest took most of the power of the bullet but he's bleeding through the chest. He needs a doctor.[/url]
Duke and Robert help Gary open the Truck and wheel in a barrel of gasoline. Bob knows that this is less than 1/3 of the capacity for a Bell 407 helicopter, but there is little more than can be done.
Kimberly looks at Bo quickly and sees what Randall isn't doing correctly and tells him how to
properly bandage the wound. Randall nods, and is able to stop Bo from bleeding. "Patch him up and give him a shot of this." She says to Randall, "and that will get him up. But let him rest a bit first." Then she chambers a round of her shotgun and gets on the truck.
Outside the dogs are barking nervously at something....
OCC- Wallace? Bob? Also don't forget about Sean Blank.
In the Diner-
Rita is uncertain of what to do. "Earl's dead? Fuck."
Dave, from his angle can see that Beth has a pistol hidden.
Tisha is still crying and listening to Willie. She looks up and screams.
At first everyone looks to Tisha, but then they follow her gaze out the window.
At that moment one of the creature crashes through the window of the diner.
