IC-OMAHA-Bus Stopped(Becky/Lubacheks/dogs/Emilio/Don/Alvin)
Z-Day - 4:13 PM Central Time - Brooks High School, Omaha, Nebraska
In the rear parking lot-
The parking lot behind Brooks High had few vehicles. Chuck Lubachek's tow truck was parked here, and so was an old broken-down school bus, which Becky Clarke was currently working on. The fire exit at the back wall of the school was propped open so that anyone on the outside could come in if they needed to do so. In the opposite direction was the football field, where they could see Officer Kate Wheeler patrolling in the distance. Just beyond the bleachers was the electrified chain link fence that kept them all safe.
Emily Lubachek watched the obese bus driver work, a calculating glint in her eye. She glanced at her son Chuck, and he returned a knowing nod. Emilio Montoya stood behind them, familiar with the mercenary attitude of his bosses. Neither of them was one to miss an opportunity to make a profit. Chuck's Rottweiler, Tiny, strained at his short leash, but his master kept a firm grip. "Need some help there?" Emily asked Becky.
"Yeah, Emilio and I could give you a hand there," said Chuck. "We can get that bus working a lot faster than you could by yourself...if the price is right."

"I´ll have a look over your shoulder...we might work the problem with combined effort!" Emilio waits for a reply from Becky to assist.
Montoya watch through the fence for any incoming visitors. "We better get this heap going fast, guys. Profit or not, let´s do this!" Emilio checks the problem area to analyse the trouble.

In the rear parking lot-
"Hold your horses, kid," said Chuck, putting a hand on Emilio's shoulder. "Let's close the deal before we get started working. So, Becky, how about it?"
"How much do you want?" Becky Clarke asked, frowning.
"Well, money ain't worth what it used to be. I don't think you've got enough cash to make it worth our while, but we can negotiate alternate means of payment. What goods or services of value in these circumstances have you got to offer?"
"What, do you wanna sleep with me?"
"Yuck! God, no!"
"Well, you're no spring chicken yourself. I ain't exactly rich, you know. Maybe the school will be willing to offer you something to get the bus fixed. You might want to talk to the principal."
"You've got the bus," pointed out Emily.
"Ain't mine. Why would I just give it away anyway?"
"We could lease it back to you," said Chuck.
Tiny growled, straining at his leash.

In the rear parking lot-
Emilio's attention turned to the north, where he saw Alvin Drummond and the mutt named Murray that always followed him around crossing the football field in his direction. They stopped at the bleachers on the south side of the field, where Alvin poked around beneath them and picked up a bottle. On the north side of the field, Officer Kate Wheeler was continuing her rounds. As he looked to the west, he saw a pack of ghouls some twenty strong lumbering close to the northwest corner of the fence. They were heading for her, and she glanced back and saw them, but they couldn't get to her with the fence in their path. The leading ones bumped into the fence and fell in a twitching heap outside it, but the rest of them kept coming. Several more touched the fence in their vain effort to reach the pretty policewoman. A few more fell, but then he noticed that the others, some ten in number, remained on their feet and started clawing at the fence. Could the generator have gone out? When he looked back at the school building, he saw that there were no lights on in the windows.
Becky Clarke continued talking, oblivious to what was going on around her. "You must take me for a fool if you think I'd agree to that," she scowled. "You want to get paid to help fix the bus, see the principal and work something out with him."
Emily Lubachek also did not notice. "All right, come on, son," she said. "Let's go back inside and find him."
Chuck nodded, equally unaware. "Come on, kid," he said to Emilio. "Tiny! Back inside!" He yanked on the leash.
Tiny growled, his attention elsewhere. He sniffed the air and tried to wander off around the east side of the building, towards the construction area where an expansion to the school was being built. Only the foundation was there, and it had just been laid a couple of days ago. Chuck pulled him back into line, and he obediently followed back toward the rear door that was propped open.

Emilio took in the scene and half bewildered gasped, "Gah! Guys, the power is off! The ghouls are tearing down the fence!"

Re: IC-OMAHA-Bus Stopped(Becky/Lubacheks/dogs/Emilio/Don/Alvin)
In the rear parking lot-
"What?!" spluttered Becky, hastily gathering her tools. "Screw the bus, we need to fix that generator! The fence won't last long without juice!" She waddled as fast as she could to the propped-open door leading into the gym. Emily, Chuck, and Tiny hurried in right behind her. "Come on, Emilo, follow us quick!" shouted Chuck as he disappeared inside. "If we don't get that generator working it's all our asses!"
Donald pushed his wheelbarrow around the northeast corner of the school building, past the edge of the construction area, just in time to hear this exchange. Alvin Drummond ran into the parking lot from the north, and the stray mutt Murray followed close on his heels.

Donald calls over to the others that he sees, "There's a quicker way to the generator, follow me." He passes by the propped open door heading further west while digging for his key ring and thumbing out the right key. Stopping right at the next emergency exit, he unlocks the door with his key and ran inside.

Alvin picked up Murry and followed Donald to the fire door running inside. "Hey Donald, is there a weapon in your wheelbarrow that I can use?"

Donald responded, "I grabbed an axe, a machette, a chainsaw, and some other tools. Didn't figure I'd have to use them on anybody though... just figured we'd need to board up the windows and doors a little better."

"Well Donald sir, can I use that ax please? It may come in handy after all and you will not be able to take the wheelbarrow down into the basement anyway so I think we should take as many weapons as possible."

"You're right. The wheelbarrel won't go down stairs so well. But so long as we get it inside the closed doors, we can come back for whatever we need. However, if it makes you feel better, help yourself. Just remember where you got it from," Donald responds. He is carrying a gas can in his left hand, and left the wheelbarrel behind.

"Yes Sir." Alvin takes the ax which he held in his hand and the machette which he put into a pocket of his jeans.

Donald nodded, "Yeah, sure... but we aren't fighting anything just yet. Let's see if we can avoid it first." He didn't take the chainsaw or axe with him, knowing it would just slow him down. Rather, he left it behind within the doors that they came in at the stair landing. He knew he could go back and get it later... provided they could get the power back up in time.
