B-MOVIE : Apocalypse now

Johnny takes a moment to collect his thoughts, “Ok guys just in case this is real we should douse the fire and turn off everything we do not need to save on fuel. Also we have no phone but we do have a CB in the kitchen. Stephanie keep trying to get more information, maybe we should also pull the drapes on the rooms that have lights on, no need to draw attention to ourselves. With luck this is not an attack or something.” Brittany can feel him trembling but he is trying to play it cool to help the others stay calm.

"Maybe we should jump in the car and head back in to town?" Meat speculates "Mum hasn't got a CB so it's not going to help me get it touch with her and she's been 'funny' since Dad died." Meat looks very worried and is starting to get a little agitated "you getting anything else on the radio Steph? How's that CB going? Damn it! What the hell is going on?"
 

"Attack?" says Rod, "Even if the Chinese did get uppity, do you really thing that there's mad foreigners roaming the backwoods? Like log cabins and guano are strategic assets for them?" He wanders off to the kitchen, "I'm making myself a PB&J. Anybody want one?"

"Yeah, thanks, Rod," Stephanie says distractedly. She continues to turn the dial hopelessly thrrough the stations, static the only response.
 

Brit keeps clinging to Johnny for a moment, then takes a deep breath. "Well, we made it through 9/11, we'll make it through whatever this is." Although she still looks worried, she walks into the house. "I'll go turn off lights and stuff. After all, it can't possibly be as bad as our imaginations are making it...."
 

Meat

"Why are none of you people worried about your families?" Meat says angrily "I know we'll be ok out here but what about your parents, brothers, sisters, grand parents - you people are so self-centred it sickens me. Johhny where did you put the car keys? I'm going in to town to ring Mum!"
 

"The radio said stay indoors, Meat. Anyhow, I don't think that some nukes are raining down on our little town. We just gotta figure out what's happening before we just take off, ya know?"
 

Shannon sits in a chair near the dining table, listening to the others speak and taking quick mental notes of the situation.

What do we know? We know something happened outside and the radio said that we should stay inside. Okay....So we all stay inside.

She pulls her knees up to her chest and looks with concern to Meat. She wonders briefly about her own family before giving him a sympathetic look.
 

Johnny looks at Meat with an surprised look, “What! What the he!! Makes you think we are not worried about our families, I know am very worried, but I am also worried about everyone here. It is not safe to go anywhere right now.” As he speaks he points at the sky. “Or did you forget about the planes flying over in formation and the flashes of light that could be exploding planes. If this is a major attack of some kind the phones will be messed up anyways, once we know more we can do something, but for now, we should do what the radio said and stay inside.”
