...and so it begins.

<-ZOMBIE NATION->

A scream is heard from off camera.

FADE IN: INT. KITCHEN

MOLLY and JACOB are standing there, they both look at each other.

MOLLY

Did you hear that?

JACOB

...Unfortunately.

MOLLY

We have to go see what's happened.

MOLLY rushes out the door, JACOB sighs and follows her.

CUT TO: EXT. STREET.

The two run out into the street and look around, at first they can't see anything, but then spot someone lying on the ground. They run over to it.

JACOB

It's Eva Henderson, I used to go to school with her.

MOLLY

Is she dead?

JACOB rolls the body, revealing a massive chunk to be missing out of her neck.

JACOB

I'd say so.

MOLLY

What do we do?

JACOB

How about... and I know this is a new idea to you, how about we call 999. Y'know, instead of pouring the body into the boot of our car and speeding away?

JACOB takes his phone out of his pocket and dials.

PHONE

All our operators are busy at the moment, please try again later.

JACOB

It's engaged. Stay here, I'll be back in a second.

JACOB runs back to the house and grabs his laptop, trying to get the number for the local police station. Eventually he gets it and tries to call. It, too, is engaged.

He turns on the TV. The news is on.

TV

...attacks have been coming in from in and around the Elgin area. Police recommend that you stay in your house. Do not attempt to help the injured...

CUT TO: EXT. STREET

MOLLY is sat on the bonnet of her car, looking at Eva's body. JACOB comes running back out to her.

JACOB

Molly! Get in the house. Now!

He grabs her wrist and pulls her in, looking back at the body of .

MOLLY

What? What's happened? What did the police say?

JACOB

Police didn't say anything. The lines are jammed. It's on the news though...

JACOB and MOLLY get back into the house and JACOB locks the door behind them. As he shuts the door, the camera cuts back to Eva's face. As the door closes, her eyes open.
