The sound of a gunshot has echoed around the nearby area. Josh opens his tear filled eyes and takes his finger off the trigger. He thinks to himself "It sounded like it came from down the road towards the Nisa shop." He can't see over there as the windows are covered by the the undead and some of them have smeared blood on them. A few of them have started to move from the car and meander towards the direction that the gunshot came from. Josh feels a sense of hope at the fact that it could have been someone in his family that fired the shot. He starts to search the old car for anything that he can use to escape. He pulls open the draw on the passenger side of the car. All that's there is some paper work and some old tapes. He turns and looks at the backseats. It's an almost empty car so there is not much there that he can use. Suddenly he hears a splat. He turns to see the brains of one of the undead exploded onto the front windscreen. Suddenly Another one seems to...

Dean is in shock on the floor with the undead swarming around him. He has no choice but to pick up Lewis' injured body and try to run as fast as he can for the only visible gap through the undead. This however is where the bandit is. Lewis was wearing a light grey t-shirt however it is now a bloody mess, dripping onto the floor. He looks up out of his slightly bruised and swollen eyes to see the bandit laughing and pointing a gun at him. As Dean staggers to approach him, he sees a swing of some sort of metal object and the bandit drops to the floor. In shock Dean nearly drops Lewis but manages to keep a grip onto him. He looks up to see the outline of 2 men. With the sun in his eyes aswell as the reduced vision he has, he can't quite make out who it is. One of the men says "I decided to come and help. Looks like I got here in the nick of time. Quick, Valor, Grab the man who's been shot. I'll get this guy. He seems like he's seen better days."  Dean is star...

They all run down the path past the houses and are around 5 meters from the alleyway. All of a sudden 6 of the undead push over the piece of corrugated scrap blocking the entrance of the alleyway.

As Josh looks up at the bandit reloading the gun, he see's him dart into cover. Josh is panicked and unsure of what to do so decides to run into one of the houses. He goes into Geoffs house that has Geoff, Ruth and Brad inside. Marlon sees this aswell so tries to make a run for the front door. He hears Dean shout "MARLON, WATCH OUT!"
