A shadow moves on a nearby rooftop, then a rough voice wispers just above the wind, "Oi boy, if you can hear me, try to give me a sign, im going to toss you a rope, tie it to something so you can get across"

The people in the store usher in Mary, who breaks down, sobbing, into their arms. She is followed shortly by Abe and Hal, who slam the gate shut in time for it to be mobbed by maddened undead!

Some of the people in the store move as close as they dare toward the front window, peering futiley into the cold and dark for some sign of Alex. Several minutes pass, and there's talk of rescue and danger, reasoned pleas and angry arguments. All of this is suddenly interrupted by a crash from the back of the store. The clerk levels his gun as a shadow emerges, lurching and grunting from behind a shelf of snacks.
The clerk cocks the hammer of his shotgun...
Somebody points a flashlight at the figure, revealing... Alex, looking exhausted, and clutching his aching back.
"What happened? Are you alright? How did you get back?", the crowd asks, the questions piling on top of one another.
Two men ease Alex to the ground and somebody tucks bags of cotton candy under his head and the small of his back.
"What happened?", the father of the little girl asks.

Alex finds a large wooden board and lays it across the narrow street. He slowly inches across is, moaning zombies below. He makes it across the street, just a few hoses down The first two roofs he jumps just fine, however he misjudges teh last jump and falls, just managing to catch the edge of the roof. Not being able to pull himself up due to his back he trusts his luck and lets go of the edge, landing in a pile of refuse. Hearing moans coming from the back he finds a door at the back of the store and using a skill some construction worker freinds taght him he jimis the poor lock and slimps inside.
Alex looks up at the others. "I found a large wooden board and laid it across the narrow street", he says. "I slowly inched across it, moaning zombies below.

Not being able to pull myself up due to my back, I trusted my luck and let go of the edge, landing in a pile of refuse. Hearing moans coming from the back I found a door at the back of the store and using a skill some construction worker friends taught me, I jimmied the poor lock and slipped inside."

Abe As Alex walks over to Mary I look him over carefully for scratches or any open wounds that might indicate a possible infection
) Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Hal and Alex see to Mary's well-being, Alex embracing her comfortingly. Mary balks at first, until she realizes just who he is.
"ALEX!" she cries. "Oh my god, you're alive!"
She hugs him tightly to her, a wave of sobbing consuming her once again. "I thought that everybody that I knew was dead! It's so good to see you again! Are you on your way to the pick-up point, too? The one the military has set up at Romero High School? You have heard, haven't you? It's across town, but with... Oh god, the truck! It's ruined, isn't it?"
Meanwhile, Abe hovers over the group, peering suspiciously at Alex. He's suffered numerous bruises and scratches, but none are obviously infected with whatever makes people into zombies. Of course, it may just be too early to tell...
