Running away
Gasping, her grope for the light switch as vague shapes move in the dark room, emitting thumps and muffled curses .
Light floods the small room to reveal Brynn, her arm locked around the throat of a Tower guard!
Officer Deluna
Hnnnnggg........
Brynn
Time for a nap , Deluna.
Brynn keeps the pressure on until the guard goes limp. Then, she efficiently binds his hands behind his back with his own cuffs.
Amy
What the hell do you mean `leaving' ? Leaving the Tower?! Why?
Amy
I just got attacked in my own room. I deserve to know.......
Brynn
Amy, please. I promise I'll explain everything.........but right now, we need to get moving or we're dead. Do you trust me?
Amy
I......yes, of course.
Brynn leads Amy through deserted hallways to the main loading dock, using the guard's keycard to open a small side door.
Outside, Amy finds a few figures huddled in the shadows.......
....... including Dirk, Cassidy, and Shannon!
Dirk
Brynn, Thank goodness.
Nina
We were starting to worry.
Amy
Wait, you're all in on this too? Will someone tell me what's going on ?
Shannon
I would like to know if there is a plan, please.
Mack
Far as I know, the plan is to get the hell away from here.
Cassidy zips open a duffel bag and removes three pistols . She straps one to her waist, then hands the others to Dirk and Brynn.
Cassidy
Here, this is all I could smuggle out without anyone seeing.
Brynn
We'll make do. Remember, these are a last resort. Drones will come running for any loud noises.
Cassidy hands long- handled axes to Mack and Nina, then gives Shannon a sidelong glance.
Cassidy
You got any weapons in training?
Shannon
Umm,......no. We didn't do that at my lab.
Cassidy grunts, digging through the bag again. She pulls out a knife for Shannon, the hands Amy a crossbow.
Amy
Are you frikkin' serious ?!
Cassidy
Sorry, kid. We've got three guns, they're going to the most experienced people. I did snag a few frag grenades if.........
Brynn
No. Amy hasn't trained on those
Mack
I mean, they're pretty simple. Pull pin, throw at zombie, boom!!!!......no more zombie.
Amy looks at her older sister, who is scowling at Mack , but not arguing with him......
Amy
Just promise to train me on those later, alright?
Brynn
We get through this, I'll train you on anything you want.
