He sits down, swirling around the jack to mix with the coke, taking a swig after putting his glass down, picking his phone up, and he starts to text; while the ladies are keeping watch outside, the others are sorting through the trolleys with we can see is outside the kitchen door.



George stands up, puts his mobile in his pocket, and finishes his drink. He notices two people stealthy walking on the other side of the street.



George asks, "Girls, you see them two as well?"



Aida responds, "Yes, I do. They are not looking Z to me."



George goes to take the chair that is stuffed under the handle also into the doormat, unbolting the door and poking his head out.



George loudly whispers, "Pssssst! Over here!"



They both stop at the bus stop after realising that it's not a flesh-eating Z that is calling them over for their next meal. The guy has something in his hand, talking to each other while crossing the road to George when an elderly Z man swerving across the street towards the two of them on a red motorised scooter.



George shouts, "Watch out!"



*Wham!*



Shane swinging his brown hockey stick, hitting the elderly Z off the scooter, which tilts but doesn't fall on its side, instead it is stopped by a curb. Before the Z can make it back to his feet, Shane is smashing Z's head with the hockey stick, blood spurting upwards with every hit.



Shane is saying angrily, "These things are starting to piss me off!"



The young woman he is with, drags him away from the Z into the restaurant, away from any other Z's that could have been alerted.



Tony, behind the bar, is pouring a drink for Shane alongside Summer, which has just introduced themselves, in front of them is George offering them a cigarette; Amelia also Aida are standing on either side of George, and Adam is sitting on a chair beside him, cleaning his yellow handle knife. while Carlo sits guarding the back of the restaurant. They both take a cigarette, the same as George takes one out, putting it between his lips, lighting his then theirs, don't worry, Aida has already disarmed the fire alarm; otherwise, they would have been overrun by now; it would be to the Z's what a cop car siren is to a robber.



George asks, "What happened?"



Smoke exhales from George's mouth while Tony hands them their drinks while Shane explains.



Going into a flashback, Shane is narrating while you're watching the events unfold. "We were with five others who worked behind the bar of the night club we were in; now only us two are left, the whole dance floor turned to flesh-eating pricks quickly, people instead of dancing, drinking, touching to kissing, you know, enjoying a night out on the town, it turned to eating one another, only god knows the cause. Anyway, from having a piss in the toilets, I heard someone moaning in agony, turned around to see the toilet attendant getting eaten; thank my lucky stars for deodorant and a lighter, mate. I got to burn my ex-misses as well; I enjoyed that! Set a couple of other people on fire on my way down the stairs, fuck right off; I am getting eaten. I managed to make it to behind the bar, where I met Summer along with the others."



"We got to the back door escaping from the Z-filled nightclub; for a split second, I even believed we were all safe. We reached an alleyway behind the club, where many more Zombies were waiting for us. Blocking both exits to the streets, also tight squeezes in the alley because of the big fuck-off bins, you know, the red ones with the black lids. There are three of them in a row; cigarette butts lay heavily on the ground mixed with a couple of condom packets and also half-filled condoms poorly stuffed in the bins, already spewed out, in a pile on the floor." (You can almost hear any woman go, "Eww that's disgusting.") "Someone kicked an empty beer bottle that alerted the Z's, and they came running from both sides towards us. The bar people tried fighting off the Z's but failed, shit I saw a Z bite a chunk out of this man's neck and eat it while blood was squirting like a like a lady on her period being sexually active. So I jumped onto one of the bins and felt a tug at my ankle. I looked back to see Summer. I helped her up; we ran like hell over the bins; which is fucking hard, by the way, and doesn't help with Z's trying to grab your legs, anyway, then we ran out of the alleyway, don't think a single soul survived, most probably they are still in the alley, eating each other."
