INT. PARTY HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Jared and Danny rush back up the steps as the zombies
continue to pour into the house.
INT. PARTY HOUSE MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT
They enter the room and Danny slams the door shut.
DANNY BATES
What the fuck are we gonna do now?
JARED PARKER
Everything's fine. There's no way
they're getting past all that
furniture.
They hear a CRASH downstairs. Danny opens the door back up
and they both look out to see that their little barricade has
already been mostly torn apart.
DANNY BATES
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Jared pulls Danny back into the room and slams the door shut
before locking it.
DANNY BATES (CONT'D)
What the fuck do we do now?
JARED PARKER
We gotta get outta here.
Jared rushes to the window and looks out to see the zombies
filing into the front door of the house.
He opens the window and lifts his left leg out of it.
DANNY BATES
We're going on the fucking roof?
Jared doesn't respond he just climbs out the window onto an
awning that over hangs the front door.
EXT. PARTY HOUSE ROOF - CONTINUOUS
Danny stumbles out the window with Alice right behind him
trying to catch up to Jared.
DANNY BATES
What now?
JARED PARKER
We wait for them all to get inside
then we jump down and make a run
for it.
DANNY BATES
Run where?
JARED PARKER
Any where.
Jared walks to the edge and peeks over but can't get a good
view.
He leans just a little further when his hand slips and Jared
begins to fall over the edge.
DANNY BATES
Jared!
Danny reaches for Jared and grabs his shirt but loses his
grip right away.
EXT. PARTY HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Jared hits the ground hard and hears a slight crack followed
by an excruciating pain in his lower back.
DANNY BATES
Jared! You okay?
A few zombies near the house's door have turned around and
headed for Jared.
JARED PARKER
I can't move my legs!
The zombies are getting even closer now as Jared pulls out
his baton for the last time.
The first zombie is right over him now bending to get a bite
when Danny lands with a thud next to it.
Danny takes the baton from Jared and takes out the two
nearest zombies before he kneels down by Jared.
JARED PARKER
You gotta get out of here.
DANNY BATES
What, and just leave you two?
JARED PARKER
I can't walk Danny, I'm screwed.
Danny gets back up and buys a little more time by killing a
hand full of zombies.
DANNY BATES
(handing Jared the baton)
Come on.
JARED PARKER
What are you doing?
DANNY BATES
Getting you out of here.
Danny grabs Jared under the shoulders and starts dragging him
towards the road.
He pulls Jared to a silver Dodge Dakota that's been abandoned
after crashing into another vehicle and opens the door before
hauling Jared into it.
DANNY BATES (cont'd)
I'm gonna go get help and bring
them back here. Sit tight.
Danny's about to close the door before Jared stops him.
JARED PARKER
Take this.
He holds out the baton to Danny.
DANNY BATES
What about you?
JARED PARKER
I'll be fine. Maybe if I stay quiet
they won't even know I'm here.
Danny takes the baton.
DANNY BATES
I'll be back as soon as I can.
He closes the door gently and takes off down the street.
Commentary: So that's the end of chapter one. My original plan had a more decisive ending, but I think what I'm going to do is continue the story through Danny's point of view a few chapters from now. Oringinally this chapter was going to be called "Bash of the Dead" before I realized that's a retarded title and decided to just use character names as the chapter titles.

Barisi Bros. huh? Italians?
I'm kinda going for a Reservoir Dogs feel, but yeah, they're Italians.
wheres alice?
Yeah, she kinda get's lost in the shuffle there, huh? I'll probly end up doing a slight re-write on this part before Danny's chapter starts, just to clear up a few things because she'll probly be a main character in his chapter.
