"Let's go"


As she passes Greg on the way to the truck she says, "Let’s go." 

Greg waits for Deacon.  Deacon sets the box down that he is carrying, and closes the garage door.  Greg appears and asks what he has in the box. 

“My dad’s reloading press and all the taps and dies,” Deacon tells him as he stands there looking up at the sky,

“You know, its eerie standing here not seeing a plane in the sky,” Deacon continues.

“Ya, the weirdest part is how quiet it is” Greg tells him.

Deacon nods in agreement, and walks to the truck were Lana is waiting safely inside.  They begin to drive towards Deacon’s house, they pass neighborhood after neighborhood.  It is a ghost town.  Closer to the town center, more and more creatures can be seen stumbling through the streets.  The creatures seem to be more prevalent in the neighborhoods nearest the hospital.  Driving through town, Lana makes a small plea to go get some things from Greg’s and her house.  Greg tells her that they will empty the load they already have, and then return to their home to get their things.  Deacon informs them that they will take his enclosed trailer, allowing them to get everything they may want or need. 

Arriving at Deacons all three of them hurry to empty the things from the truck into the garage.  Deacon tells them that they will sort through the boxes later.  He continues to tell them that he is going to pull around and couple his truck to his trailer and then they can get going.   Deacon is reluctant about going back into the city.

 Deacon pulls back around the house and picks up Greg and Lana and they begin driving towards Greg and Lana’s house.

 “Go in and get what you might need and anything sentimental.  Then we get out of there quick,” Deacon instructs them as they drive up the empty streets
