And it begins!!!

Deacon wakes up takes his calendar writes in one hundred and thirty four, circles and puts it back.  He gets ready and leaves for work.  When he arrives, he finds all of the other drivers, and night loaders huddled around Will’s computer.  He walks in looking perplexed. 

“What’s going on?  Why is everybody just standing around?”

They motion for him to join them without breaking eye contact with the computer screen or making a sound.

As Deacon walks over to see the computer screen, the first thing he notices is the banner moving across the bottom of the news broadcast.  The banner reads, “Military instalations around the globe are under attack”, it is constantly listing new bases under attack.  The reporter on the webcast keeps repeating instructions from the Government to stay where they are.  Will’s phone rings.  Picking it up he begins shaking his head, then he tells the person on the other end he will, and hangs the phone up.  Will sits back in his chair, still not looking up from the screen, he begins to tell the drivers and loaders that local government has shut down everything. 

“It appears as if none of the trucks will be leaving the dock.”  

The city erupts with the sound of jets and sirens. 

“It must just be starting here.”  Will tells them as his phone rings.
