Abe checks the back door to make certain that everything is secure, and finding that it is. Meanwhile, Hal peers into the growing dawn light, looking for a car that might get them away. Unfortunately, the ones he can see are all wrecked, inaccessible and probably don't have keys. Even if they could get one started, it wouldn't hold everybody.
Then he sees it. Across the street, hidden behind the doors of the garage and only just visible through a narrow window at the top, the siren of a fire engine slated for repair...

As Abe and Hal whisper to one another, Mary tells Alex, "I don't know. I just heard from another couple that were on their way there. The high school is across town, maybe a few hours on foot, but it's not like we can just walk there." Mary wipes the tears from her eyes. "I don't know what we're going to do now."

"I've worked on diesels before, so I'm certain I can get it running if only temporary. It depends on what, if anything, is wrong. Do you think the two of you can hold them off long enough for me to work on it?"

As the two men discuss the situation, there's a general shuffling and movement from the rest of the survivors. The father of the little girl comes up to Hal and Abe and says, "Guys, we can't stay here anymore. We're moving today." Behind him, people are packing up food and other necessities. "Alex showed that we can move along the rooftops. It will be slow going, but I think we can work our way to the high school from there. So start packing, and may God have mercy on us."
Mary looks at Alex with concern. "Alex," she says, "We can't take a truck. You saw what happened to me. It'd never work. But we are going. A bunch of us have decided that we're going to work our way across the rooftops where the... things can't reach us. It's the only way.

Abe
Looks at Hal, looks over at the truck, looks up at the rooftops.
"Uh my last time in field I walked over desert and climbed cliffs but that was 2 1/2 years ago. I'm not really sure about jumping from roof to roof. I'm not old but I'm not in the shape I was when I was in the field. I think we would be better off in a large truck."
I look down at my broom and over at the shopkeeper with his shotgun and around the store.
"W,w,w,we really only have one real weapon here and I d,d,d,d,d,don't know how much ammo he has, d,d,don't you think we should at least give him a ch,chance to get the truck running and maybe pi,pi,pi,pick up something more substatntial to fight with in,in the shop?"
) Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.
