Why wasn't Jenner answering our questions?
I walked beside Jenner.
"What's happening?" I asked.
"The system is dropping all non essential uses of power," He answered continuing to walk to the main room, "It's designed to keep the computers running until the last possible second. That started started right as we hit the half hour mark. Right on time," He stated pointing to the clock, the clock was at 31 minutes.
Jenner stopped when we reached the main room, he had drank most of the bottle of alcohol. There were only a few sips left. Daryl took the bottle back and downed the rest. After a minute of silence, Jenner spoke again.
"It was the French," Jenner stated looking at Andrea.
"What?" She asked.
"They were the last ones to hold out as far as I know," He answered, "While our people were running into the halls commiting suicide, they continued to work. They thought they were close to a solution. They stayed in the labs till the end."
"What happened?" Jacqui asked.
"Same thing that's happening here, no power grid, they ran out of juice," He told us, then kept talking, "The world runs on fossil fuels, I mean, how stupid is that?"
"Everyone, grab your things, we're getting out of here now," Rick commanded.
"We'll grab your stuff, hun," Lori told me.
"I can help, i-" I started.
"No, we've got it. If something goes wrong, they might need you," She stated, before I could protest she started walking away with some of the others.
A loud alarms started going off, I jumped, gasps broke out throughout the room.
"The hell is this for?" I asked getting scared and frusturated.
"What?" Daryl asked looking around. Everyone stopped going to get things and listened to the computer as it began to speak.
"30 minutes till decontamination," The computer stated.
"Doc, what's goin on?" T-dog demanded.
"Everyone get your stuff now!" Rick yelled. Many started to run, I followed. Then the doors closed.
"What the hell?!" I yelled.
"Language!" She yelled at me.
"Really? That's what you're worried about!" I snapped at her.
"Did you just fucking lock us in?!" I demanded Jenner as he began talking into a camera.
Daryl ran to smash the bottle of Jenner's head, but Shane and T-dog held him back.
"Let us out," I demanded.
"There's no point, everything upstairs is locked and sealed," He said calmly.
"Then open the damn things!" Daryl yelled still being held back by Shane and T.
"I don't control that, the computers do," Jenner stated.
"I told you, once that top door closed it wouldn't open again, you all heard me say that," Jenner growled trying to keep his cool, "It's better this way."
"What happens in 28 minutes!" Rick demanded trying to stay calm. He didn't answer.
"What happens in 28 minutes!!" Rick yelled.
"Do you know what this place is?!" Jenner yelled back "We protected the public from VERY nasty stuff! Stuff you don't ever want getting out! This place will release H.I.T.s."
