Danielle was in her kitchen making a nice chicken and avocado dish for lunch, she had spent yesterday morning at the farmer's market and had plenty of fresh ingredients to choose from.
She couldn't see the street from her kitchen window and was wondering what was going on as she had been hearing police and ambulance sirens all day.
"DANI" Blake yells rushing into their place frantically searching for her,
"In the kitchen, I've just made your…HEY!" Danielle protests as Blake roughly grabs her arms,
"We've gotta go Dani, we need to get the fuck out of here. RIGHT NOW!"
"Blake?…Blake what's going on?," Danielle pleads, "You're scaring me."
Blake doesn't reply instead he drags Danielle through their place into the bedroom.
"BLAKE STOP IT, you're hurting me," Danielle trying to remove his fingers from her arm shouts "LET GO!", Blake realising what he was doing releases his grip on her arm,
"Oh Dani I'm so sorry,"
"Please tell me what's going on, you're really freaking me out," She quietly begs,
"I can't, l can't tell you because I don't know, people everywhere were just freaking out, I was down at In-N-Out.."
"What!!! You're eating burgers when you knew I was making lunch?" Danielle rather annoyed interrupts,
"What? No! ah Yes! Look it doesn't matter D I was there and this car crashed through the front and this dude he looked dead but he got up and this girl went over to him and he just…fuck he just bit her face off and then these other people started pushing pass the car and I don't know, just started going after everyone. I got out of there and sprinted back here, but you should see it Dani this bus almost ran over me, the driver it looked like this kid was eating him, I mean what the fuck is going on?" He runs his hands through his hair as he lets out a nervous sigh.
Danielle gives him a hug before going over and turning the radio on.
"You're with Jax and you are listening to KRTH 101.1 FM, We will continue to keep you up to date with the current events. Ok so reports so far Officials are saying there has been some kind of virus outbreak, so if you or anyone you know are infected you are to remain in your house and call 213-699-5095, anyone in or around downtown Los Angeles who may be infected are advised to head to City hall on North Spring street. At this stage officials are unsure what has caused the outbreak or how the virus is spread so all people not infected please remain indoors and keep your doors locked. Ok so there you have it folks basically the government has got no clue, may I suggest you arm yourselves with whatever you can because calls coming into the station are reporting people are acting look rabid dogs! Again you are listening to 101.1FM keep listening for further updates."
The Doors 'People Are Strange" start playing through the speakers.
"Wow some kind of outbreak, Blake the report just said we need to remain indoors until further notice"
"No we need to get out of the city right now, seriously Dani you need to trust me on this one, I've been out there its total chaos!" Blake cries.
"Let me ring home first and speak to mom," Danielle replies whilst picking up the phone. She rings her parents home number but it just goes straight to the answering machine. She then tries contacting Alana and Este on their cell phones but she only gets their voice messages.
"No one is answering Blake, it's not like Alana or Este they always have their cells with them, have you tried ringing your parents?" Danielle asks starting to become very concerned.
