Time unknown on May 23, 2009
"Faster" yelled out Alex, as he and the rest ran away from the Bridge. "Wait, we're missing some kids" noticed Ms Combs. "Wait! Anthony's missing!" and Kayla said "Alex, he was on the bridge too, I don't think he made it out." Anthony was last seen on Brooklyn Bridge, no one knows if he died. "This can't be happening" said Alex and he thought more of Julie, then he breaks down crying, "Why is this happening, Julie, why Julie" and then Alex picks himself up and then says "I don't think Anthony's dead" and Nadine replies "You're just in denial, Anthony was right by Julie when the bridge collapsed" then Alex replied "Nadine, what do you know about losing a love one?" and Nadine didn't respond. Jenny then asks "Are you ok, Alex?" and Alex replies "I'm Ok, thanks for asking" the Phil asked 'What do we do next?" and Ms. Combs replies "We follow the military out of here." Jeremy, who was filming everything, replied "That seems like a good idea" Alex replied 'I'm up for it, is everyone up for it?" the rest had agreed with him. The group was following the military, when Kayla asked "Do you hear that?" It was the monster coming toward them; the group the military had assembled ran in different directions including Ms Combs and even more classmates. The group which now consisted of Alex, Phil, Nick, Kayla, Rodney, Jeremy, Jenny, Nadine and Jimmy ran into a local souvenir shop to hide from the monster. Alex suggested "We should go in hide in the subway now" and Rodney replied "the subway, really?" and Alex replied "It's better being on top with that thing" and Nadine replied "You'll get us all killed, like your idea to cross the Brooklyn Bridge." Alex replied "You know what Nadine, you try staying up top with that thing" and then Nick replies "Leave Alex alone, he's only trying to think of the best for us, I don't see you doing anything." Then the old shop keeper came out of the back room with a shotgun pointing at Nick. Alex yells out "Watch Out, Nick!" but it was too late the old shop keeper shot Nick dead and yelled out "Get out of my store!" and they ran as fast as they could. The old Store keeper had thought the group was there to steal something from but he was wrong, it only goes on to show what people would do in times of disaster.
