Night of the Comet

Chapter 2 – Dust

No One's POV

Tori slept for another hour, but when she woke back up, Ryder hadn't returned. It was annoying, but not all that unexpected. Ryder did, what Ryder wanted to do and that was that.

Starting to get dressed, Tori muttered. "That's Ryder, Love em and leave em, at least Jade liked to cuddle, when she wasn't accusing me of cheating on her." After a brief sigh, Tori continued to dress.

This wasn't their first time her and Ryder had spent the night in the fallout shelter. It had been installed in the 1950's by the, then owner and was concrete with a layer of lead. By the time Tori and Ryder had come around, the shelter had been long since forgotten. That made is a perfect spot for their little trysts.

Hungry and not in the mood for a half-eaten bag of Cheetos, Tori finished dressing, freshened up and headed up to the theatre lobby. There she helped herself to a bag of Twizzlers from the concession stand and eyed the tempest machine.

"DMK, you're going down. No one and I mean no one bump's me out of the top ten."

After turning the lights back on, Tori diligently played Tempest and much to her satisfaction, soon wiped DMK off the high scores list.

Taking a bit of licorice Tori smiled. "Finally, something's going way."

Then she thought, "Joyce, damn, she's going to be pissed. I can't imagine what kind of nasty message she left for me."

Tori then walked to her purse, which was sitting on the concession counter. Then she pulled out her phone and turned it back on. It had been off since last night. A moment later a message indicator popped up; one had been left last night about 20 minutes before the comet arrived.

Hitting play, she soon heard what sounded like a somewhat drunk Andre'

"Hey Chica, sorry you can't be here. Comet's going to be here soon and we're having a great time. Robbie, Cat, me and the others. Well everyone save for Jade and Beck they had some argument half an hour ago and she split. We're missing you and have a beer ready for you, if you care to grace us with your presence. Cat and Robbie say hi, Love ya."

By then Tori found herself regretting forgetting Ryder and just showing up at Andre's party late. Then she realized something.

"Joyce always leaves me a message, chewing me out. Nothing....Hmmm..."

Then Tori checked out the slap to see if there were any pictures of the party. Sure enough, there were some of Andre and co at his house having a grand time, drinks in hand. However, Tori quickly noted something.

"That's odd, the pictures end right about the time the comet arrives."

Looking at the pictures, Tori could see that very last one was uploaded by Robbie, about a few seconds after the comet arrived. All the picture consisted of, was a blurred picture of some lights in the sky. After that, no one uploaded anything.

Then she went to twitter and for the first part of the evening, there was the normal tweet traffic, with people reporting on the various parties, but like the pictures, the tweets abruptly stop right at the time the comet arrived.

It didn't escape her notice, that not one single person she followed on twitter and she followed more than 300, had tweeted anything since the comet arrived. The same went for Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. They had all gone dark almost, exactly at the same time.
