The scene fades in at dead bodies laid out on the ground having been thrown off the roof above. One of the bodies fingers begin twitching and growling becoming a walker.

Carlson looks over the edge of the roof down below at the bodies. A soldier raises a radio antenna and hands Carlson a walkie

Carlson: Home Fire 1, this is Open Ranger. Do you copy?

In his office, Solomon walks up into the shot and grabs the walkie talkie and speaks into it

Solomon: Copy, Open Ranger. Status?

Carlson: Location secured, brother

Solomon: The shipment? Files?

Carlson: We're searching floor by floor. The residents haven't been very cooperative.

Solomon: I'm surprised. These people have regressed into God knows what. It's like getting mad at a rat that can't tell right from wrong.

Carlson: Yeah, well, the small taste of some law and order will help them remember.

Solomon: It sure will. Keep me posted.

Carlson: Copy.

He holds the walkie out as a soldier approaches

Soldier: Sir.

Carlson: What?

Soldier: We've got two down at the east exit and two down on the fourth floor.

Carlson glares, clenching his jaw and storms towards the door and heads inside
