Isabella sighs and fiddles with her hair. She doesn't really want to go but...

"I guess I'll go with you."

I'm staying here. I'm really not looking forward to getting hit by a flying, burning door."

Tony starts to dig around in his pockets, hoping to find a spare cig or two. His search proves to be futile, and he sighs and rubs the bridge of his nose. You guys are nuts, you know this right?

"It's not like you're the first to notice ...."

Cedric unloads his pockets from all metal substances

"I'm going too. From what I've seen around here, the house has an equally good chance of being hit by lightning as that pipe over there."

"I am staying here. You all can go out in the storm towards the flaming plane.. Get yourselves killed if thats what you want to do. They are all dead though, staying here is the best option now."

Mike sits down on the couch and turns his attention towards the tv.

"Damn flight attendants, not letting me get my bag." mutters to self.

Isabella, Arman, James, and Cedric head out to the plane, the remaining group hanging back. They jog across the field, staying clear of the impromptu lightning rod. The wind has picked up, but the rain hasn't arrived yet. The smoke is acrid, and the smell of burnt plastic and flesh fills the air. It takes about ten minutes to make the trip to the hill.

Tony glowers from the porch, occasionally patting his pockets absent-mindedly. William seems attached to the shotgun, watching outside from behind the screen door. The remaining group inside watches Wolf Blitzer on CNN, where there is just now coming on a special report.

"Welcome back. We're just receiving reports from the FAA that Northwest Flight 805 has gone missing from air traffic control radars near the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and that radio contact was lost. Search teams are preparing to move out, but we have very few details on this story at this time. We'll get back to you on this breaking news when we have more.

"In other breaking news, reports of a riot in progress are coming out of Chicago. We now go to local correspondent Suzanne LeMignot of CNN affiliate WBBM in Chicago. Suzanne?"

"Wolf, I'm standing at the corner of Canal and Adams Streets, just across the river from the Sears Tower, and there seems to be a major disturbance here in the wake of a demonstration that got out of control. Police in riot gear are trying to hold back the crowd, and you can hear the sirens behind me of more approaching officers in their squad cars and vans." The video fuzzes in and out through this, and then loses feed, but the audio still comes through clearly. Wolf breaks in.

"Suzanne, we've lost the video feed, but we can still hear you. Can you describe what is happening?"

"Yes, Wolf. Police are streaming in by the dozens, and... Just a moment... I'm hearing some popping sounds -- not gunfire... It appears the police are deploying tear gas in an effort to break up the crowd. I can see it spreading over the heads of the crowd. There's something else going on..." There are several cracks in the background. "Gunfire! I hear gunfire! There's gunfire coming from the other side of the crowd! Three shots, I think, and... Wayne, let's go. Wolf, I'm going to have to get back to you. We need to find another spot, as the crowd is moving towards us." There is more weapons fire just before she cuts the audio off, including what sounds like a burst of automatic weapons fire.

Wolf, his normal concerned look displayed on his face, looks up at the camera. "Obviously a terrible turn of events there for what apparently was a peace rally of some sort. We'll get back to Suzanne as soon as possible, but for now, we go --"

The TV clicks off, and the lights go out a split-second later.

Everything is scattered. The police car is across the road, burning on its side. There are bodies and body parts everywhere. Isabella looks down and sees something near her feet, and realizes is it part of a human arm. The shock takes everyone for a couple of minutes, until there looks to be some movement a couple hundred yards closer to the plane... an arm waving, a weak voice mumbling something incoherent, the sound barely making its way to you...

Isabella screams and, without much thought, kicks the arm away from her. She breathes heavily, coughing every now and then.

"Wait.. Listen..."

She tries to pick up what this voice is trying to say.

"Great, what is this, first our plane goes down, then it explodes. Then there are riots in Chicago, with auto-matic gun fire. There has to be something going on. I am not sure if we should call in the location of the plane, something just doesnt seem right here."
Mike flips through to another news channel to see what they are saying about the nights events .

"Aw man, now she lost her arms too. I tell you, that girl just can't keep her body to herself ! Don't worry Isabella, we're still here."

The voice becomes stronger

"It's coming from that direction !"

OOC: MB, I was the first person to leave towards the plane..... I assume I'm following the other 4 as well.

John is starting to get used to these other 4 people who have followed him towards the plane. They seem like decent people enough. The others.... Can go screw themselves, he thinks to himself. He as usual, remains silent as they stop at the burning scene. He as usual, remains silent as Isabella picks up the arm (that he recognized right away, but forgot to mention about it). He as usual, remains silent as Cedric tries to jokingly calm Isabella down. Yet he is starting to be comfortable with the company.

So, seeing Cedric's finger pointed, he immediately rushes towards that direction - while carefully avoiding the arm Isabella discarded. He tries to swallow back the nasea in, as he continues jogging and surveying the scene. Remember this is just like medical school. That piece of arm is nothing but a collection of protein, fat, chemicals and ion solutions. These bodies are nothing but organic matter. These bodies are nothing but organic matter. These bodies are nothing but organic matter. These-

I would have died if I didn't go along. I almost didn't go along.

I would have died if I had insisted.

John slows down to a halt.

Tony stands on the porch, thinking ill thoughts to himself, when he hears something that grabs his attention. He wanders into the living room just in time to hear Wolf saying the plane he assumed they were on had lost radio contact over Tulsa. Great, so they didn't know jack shit. That didn't terribly surprise him. The news of the riots in Chicago disturbed him greatly for some reason. He had seen a 'peace rally' get out of hand before, but nothing this extreme. He shivered in spite of himself. Suddenly he didn't feel very safe.

While calming Isabella down, Cedric notices John running towards the voice.

"Wait John ! You don't know what you'll find !"

I hope he has a strong stomach, ,Cedric thinks, 'cause that voice could only have a remainder of flesh to it. This arm could belong ... to him or her ... to any one of these ...

Cedric's knees tremble, and he has to get hold of Isabella in order to stay on his feet.

"There ... there were many children on that flight. So many ... Why us ? Why not some mother to a baby ? Why not a grandfather ? Why not ... someone else instead of me ...."

Arman walks around the wreakage, his neck twitching slightly. He'd seen plenty of dead bodies before, but not like this. Not scattered about as if some giant had taken them and randomly thrown them about like dice at a craps table, no never like this. He follows John over to where the noises were coming from, looking around nervously and twitching slightly along the way...

[Sorry I missed that, YH. Yes, you are with the group going towards the plane.]

The power is out at the house, and the inside is lit only by the soft light coming in from the overcast skies outside (preventing Mike from checking other channels). It's very quiet, except for the occasional distant rumble of thunder.

The waving hand belongs to that of a woman. Her face is bloodied and bruised, and her left leg is bent at the wrong angle at the knee. She is cradling a small bundle ... a child ... one that has obviously been crying from the tearstreaks through the soot on its face. "Help me, please," she says. "My nephew... I... Can you please help me?"

Cedrorakazishi · Post by **Cedrorakazishi** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 7:45 pm

Hearing the woman, Cedric runs at her and supports her head

"Sshh, calm down, we'll take care of you two."

He motions to John and Arman

"Get Isabella here for the kid and go find a first aid kit or something. [whisper] I don't think she'll last long without some serious help [/whisper]"

"You and your nephew will be just fine. The paramedics, ambulances and the military are on their way here, so don't worry ... could you tell us what happened here ?
