EXT. DESERTED MAIN STREET - CONTINUOUS
Ben rushes to the SUV with Dave right behind him.
DAVE
What the hell happened?
BENJAMIN CROWE
I came to see if you guys needed
help and she just took off.
Ben gets to the vehicle to see a kid a couple years younger
than him sitting unconscious in the driver's seat. The kid,
STEVE, is fully decked out in G-Unit clothing from head to
toe.
Ben pulls him out of the car and slams him down hard on the
street before heading around to the other side where Sarah
lies unconscious as well, bleeding from her forehead.
Dave kicks away at Steve's mid-section a few times in
frustration.
DAVE
You fucking punk piece of shit!
Dave finally lets up, goes around to the front of the SUV and
lifts the hood, releasing a big cloud of smoke.
INT. GORDON CROWES' TRUCK - CONTINUOUS
Ben is trying to revive Sarah with no luck when Dave sticks
his head in the driver's door.
DAVE
This thing ain't going no where,
man.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Damnit!
(he pauses for a second)
How safe is your store?
DAVE
It's pretty safe, I guess, but we
can't stay here. I've gotta get my
wife to a hospital.
BENJAMIN CROWE
If we had a working vehicle I'd
agree with you, but I gotta get her
out of the street.
Ben begins to unbuckle Sarah when he spots two zombies about
three blocks down the road.
DAVE
I don't think you're supposed to
move somebody that's been in an
accident.
BENJAMIN CROWE
I'll take the chance.
INT. LIQUOR STORE - EVENING
Dave holds the door open as Ben rushes through it with Sarah
in his arms and lays her down on the counter near the
register.
The liquor store is dark. The only light sources are the
emergency lights above the exits, a few candles and what
little sun can get through the ad covered windows.
The shelves are mostly empty and broken glass has been swept
up into the corners.
The pregnant woman, MICHAELA, is huddled on the floor with
her 6 year old daughter, SOPHIA, until she sees that Sarah is
hurt and rushes to help. Sophia trails closely behind her
mother.
Michaela speaks with a slight Irish accent.
MICHAELA
What's wrong with her?
DAVE
She was in a car accident. Hurt her
head and God knows what else.
Michaela checks Sarah's pulse and pupils before looking for
any serious injuries.
MICHAELA
I think she's okay, she just needs
rest. I'll go get some bandages and
get this wound cleaned up.
(to Sophia)
Stay with your father for a minute.
DAVE
(to Ben)
That's my wife Michaela.
(brief pause)
I don't believe I ever got your
name, though.
BENJAMIN CROWE
It's Ben.
DAVE
Well, Ben, it's a pleasure to meet
you. My name's Dave.
The two shake hands before Dave bends over and picks up
Sophia.
DAVE
And this little angel is our
daughter, Sophia.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Hello, there.
Sophia hides her head in her Dad's shoulder as Michaela
hurries back into the room with a wet cloth and some
bandages.
Michaela has a bloody bandage wrapped around her right hand a
but Ben is too focused on Sarah to notice.
COMMENTARY: I think I've got the formatting issues down now, so the blog should look okay in both internet explorer and Firefox. I've just got to go back and re-do Chapter 3 and everyone thing should be compatible on both browsers. I don't know if you've noticed but I've been writing these a bit faster and not doing any re-reading or re-writing so there's probly more than a few typos here and there. I'll go back over them this weekend or something I guess. Expect the next part to be up tomorrow.
