"Tell everyone what you saw, camera man...out back. I heard you yelling about the waitress!" cries Chance in a shrill voice.

Chingy

shit.....Shit........SHIT!!!! Chingy backs off one step realizing that, whatever the fuck is happening, they are ALL in this shit together. He runs his fingers through his long flowing hair while shaking his head back and forth, inhales a big breath, and looks at Chance again Sorry man........that was just the junk talking right there. I aint gonna do nothin to you man. What did you say your name was again?

Chingy then looks to Tiny What do you think brother? You gonna be allright or are those reports on the news true? Are you "changing" hommie?

[Bloodaxe]

Tiny the biker
Tiny looks scared & confused. He is sweating and looks flushed with fever.
One of them? No man!!! My hand fucking hurts, but you saw it. That fucker bit me good. It don't hurt no worse than the time I got stabbed by that Warlock. Maybe its infected. I need some medicine. A Doctor or something.
He pulls up his shirt revealing a large scar on his stomach.

Dean the EMT
I'll take a look at it.
Den looks at the wound, then grabs a small first aid kit from the kitchen. He cleans and wraps the wound.
It looks bad. Definitely infected, but bits are nasty. He needs antibiotics. There is a medical center I work at , about 5 miles from here. They have all kinds of stuff. Maybe we could get supplies there. A better vehicle. They even have a helicopter.

Syrus the redneck
You are fucking nuts man. Im not going there. That's the first place the sick go , the hospital. It will be crawling with sickos

[OGRE MAGE]

Chingy

Woah! Knarly scar man! You sure ain't no pussy! You look like you definitely put some work in for the club. I hope you got that Warlock bitch good for that one.

After listening to the EMT he says That sounds like a place we need to get to before anyone else does! Our friend here needs some help! We ain't gonna just let him change into one of them....biters! I say we go take a look at least. It can't be worse than being trapped in this place.

[Bloodaxe]

Norm the busboy comes out of the storage room.
My Uncle Lester has an auto shop a few miles from here.

Mel the owner loads a few cases of food & drinks into his office. He pretty much ignores everyone else.

8am rain continues. The fires are out. The rhythmic pounding continues on the windows and front door, but everything seems secure for now. The creatures moan and it is starting to get on your nerves.

Derek- Journalist
In the Diner

To the bikers, We got video footage of the waitress being eaten and then coming back to "life". I don't know what's going on, but I don't trust anyone that has been bitten. Maybe medical supplies can cure the infection, I don't know. I think it is worth a shot. But guys, if he starts to turn into one of those things, we have to kill him. He won't be one of your brothers at that point, just some mindless "creature" that won't know you. I'm willing to take a chance on medical care for that bite. If nothing else, we should be able to learn a bit more about the situation if we are unable to fight this infection.

Derek turns to Norm and asks How close is your uncle's body shop to the medical center? If there are vehicles that we can use to get further away that would be a big help. Plus, I would imagine there would be some tools that we could use as weapons. We may not need to go there. We might be able to find vehicles at the medical center, an ambulance if nothing else, but having a back-up plan can't hurt. I can fly a helicopter if we locate one at the medical center. It probably won't be large enough to hold all of us, but we will see how many can fit and still allow the vehicle to fly safely if it comes to it.

Whitey-Biker
Diner

Listens to what Derek and Dean are saying. Yes lets get Tiny to the Medical center. Chingy help me get Tiny up. We need to make a plan to get thru them things without anyone getting hurt. Is the backdoor clear. He listens for any noise at the back door.

[AleBelly]

Chance responds to Chingy's apology. "Look, I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do.I'm just trying to stay alive. Maybe we should vote. I think we should check out the hospital first. Maybe we can help Tiny...but I agree the hospital's likely overrun. We'll have to be careful. I have a car, but after seeing that ambulance, Tiny can't ride with me. He'll have to try his luck on his bike or another car.

As for getting out, it looks like the front is out. Maybe we can shove something against the fire exit for protection and open the door from a distance to see what's out there."

Steve B. - Trucker

Steve watches Mel hoard the supplies and head for his office while the drugged-up bikers bicker with the others about dying for loyalty. Steve says(in regards to taking the biker to the Hospital), "ain't nobody ever died from a bite on the hand, Tiny can get himself where he wants to go. We, as a group, don't need to help him with shit, his brothers can handle it. Right fellas?"[looking at Chingy] "You go your way, we'll find another way"

Syrus the redneck
Syrus walks up next to Steve, noisily chewing tobacco.
Im with you. I aint goin to no hospital. You get bit, you gotta handle your own business.

Dean the EMT
There should be vehicles there. Meds. A chopper. But the chopper only holds 4 people at most. An ambulance could hold all of us. We don't know if its overrun. Maybe there are survivors there. Everyone cant be dead.

The back door & fire exit door are metal and open outwards. You don't hear any pounding on them. But you cant see out either.

[Bloodaxe]

Tiny the biker
Tiny pushes away any help.
I can walk. I just feel hot. I think I got a fever. I need some Tylenol or something.

Dean the EMT Dean looks worried, but hands him some Aspirin out of the first aid kit.

Norm the busboy
My Uncle Lester's place is on the way to the Medical Center. About 4 or 5 miles from here, and about a mile from the Medical Center. He should have some cars & gas there, tools in the garage. He keeps a shotgun in the office too. I hope he's OK.
Norm looks like a scared kid. (which he is)

[OGRE MAGE]

Chingy

Well, I'm for getting the fuck outa this place! he looks at Steve and Syrus you redneck puntos don't need to come along if your scared!

He then speaks to Dean If you think we can get there, I'm for giving it a try. We can't just let Tiny go out like that. And like you said......there may be other survivors.

Anyone else want to get the hell out of here and try for the clinic? Whitey? What do you think man? We can check on Uncle Lester on the way!

Tucker - Nightwatchman
In Dining Room

"I agree with Chingy." Tucker looks at Steve and Syrus. "I get why you don't want to travel with their friend. But right now, staying together is our best option. Tiny said he can travel. So we all make out way to the body shop. We check on the boy's uncle, see about more vehicles and gas. Then we go to the medical center. We check it out and make sure the place ain't swarming with these things. If it is, we move on. Sorry Tiny but we just can't risk all of us. I hate to be real here but as I see it, you have two options open to you. One, its just a nasty bite. If thats the case, we can get alcohol and pain killers just about anywhere. Or two, you are infected. If the doctors in the big cities couldn't cure this, ain't nothing in this backwater medical center going to do the trick either. I'm not speaking for anyone else, I'm looking at this as a run for medical supplies. With what they are saying on the radiom we need to get ourselves supplies for the long haul. Like that Red Dawn movie."

John J. Pongrass – Camera Man
Inside diner



John approaches Chingy with his camera ready for playback. “Hey, mate, take a look,” and he shows him the footage. “I’m not too comfortable either with that Tiny bloke having been wounded by one of them. If he dies, then we have no choice but to get away from him. This talk of rising dead isn’t just a rumor.”

John moves to a center position and addresses the group. "I have a suggestion about our feverish friend here. We can bind his hands and legs during the trip to the hospital. If he dies, having his limbs bound isn’t going to make a difference. If he comes back as one of them, well, binding his hands and legs just might buy us enough time to escape. I think staying together as a group is our best bet at the moment.”

I think that sounds like a plan. Hit the auto shop, check on the uncle, see if we can get any weapons or vehicles then head to the medical center. If we can get vehicles at the auto shop, we can skip the medical center if it looks overrun. If it looks ok, we can try to find supplies, check out the chopper.

[Scott308]

I like that idea, John. Hopefully, nothing will come of the bite, but that would give us a bit of an edge if something does.

Tiny biker
Inside the Diner
Tiny pulls a large hunting knife out from his coat and points it at John.
You are out of your fucking mind if you think you are gonna tie me up with those freaks around!!!
He screams in an angry voice and backs up away from the group and towards the kitchen.

To the remaining bikers, I think it is best if you fellows travel by yourselves, then.
