What would you do to stay alive?
(Johnny get's the early warning, and rushes home to his family.)
Jenny wake up! Wake up! Ok! Ok! I'm up! It's midnight. I have to be at work in the morning honey, this better be good. What is it? There's a wa... ( Johnny's interrupted by gunshots and sirens out the window.) Come on, we don't have much time to Stay Alive. (John loading their guns)
What are you talking about John, why are you loading the guns? Whose shooting outside? (He looks her with conviction.) There is no law, it's total anarchy. We gotta go now, If we want to live Jenny, I'll explain later! Folks said it wouldn't happen in our time and it's happening honey. Grab the bags prepped for us and wake Jacie! Remember the three C's John. Cool, calm collected, Breathe baby. Now's not the time to argue Jenny. This is not a drill! The trucks loaded and the rest of our guns and supplies are packed. Ok everything's gonna be fine John I'll go wake Jacie, we've practiced this scenario before. (Jenny goes across the hall) Ok hurry Jenny, My Sister Jesse and her family are heading up north to the Kuuyi Mountains, where her husband Jimmy has a cabin he's converted into a fortress. We should be able to make it there around sunrise. Now Jenny, he says he has food and a water supply for all us. I told him we'd bring the ammo and what we have to defend from anyone trying to harm us. Your nursing will come in handy if anyone of happens to be injured. (Jenny's enters the room.) Don't worry we'll be fine Jenny. Is Jacie up and ready to go? Yes, she's just tying her shoes. Ok, we don't have much time to spare before the roads are clogged. It wont be easy but we will make it. Here take these guns Jenny we're going to need them once we get there and if we want to make it out the city. I know you don't like them because your family was taken by them but Jenny they are going to keep you, I and our baby girl Jacie alive. (Jacie walks in the room and drops her duffel bag.) Dad I'm ready. I guess all your drills really did come in handy. Are you sure you can ready Jacie, I want you to carry the automatic? Yes dad, I am 16 now, I can handle the automatic. (John smiles) Really Dad, You've been teaching me how to shoot since I was 6 years old. I know sweetheart, remember just what I told you, (Jacie in unison with her dad John) "only put your finger on the trigger when you ready to shoot" "Butterfly". (Jacie smiles) How can I forget dad. (They exchange a family hug before leaving.) OK, let's go I want everybody locked and loaded off safety with one in the chamber. (car doors shut) Dad, where are we going?
(Johnny turns the key, and the engine Roars!)
To hell if we don't pray.
