Mum, dad, they were there here in the house like it was yesterday. I didn't want to go. I didn't want to leave them but there was nothing I could do. Bray: Trudy, there was nothing anybody could do. Come on, we better go. The Roosters are moving in, we're not safe here. Trudy: We're not safe anywhere. Bray: In sector ten we may have a chance, Trudy. I heard there are only strays and nomads. We've gotta get through. Trudy: I don't wanna go back there. Locos. Bray: We've gotta at least try. There isn't much time. Dal: They're getting closer. What do we do? Amber: We can't out run them.

Dal: They can't have been chasing us after all. Amber: Unless they're toying with us. Locos do that, they love to catch you off guard. Zandra: Where is he, Lex?

Ryan: It’s out of gas I did find something though gum Lex: Let’s get out of here Salene: Who are you with what tribe Amber: We’re not with any tribe we found Cloe a couple of streets away and you obviously know her I’m Amber by the way this is Dal Salene: Salene Amber: Did you know Cloe wandered of Salene: I can’t stop her what difference does it make we can’t run anymore I was gonna give us up then I found this place I thought they could have a play one more time before Dal: I’ll scout around and see if I can find some shelter for the night Amber: Okay I’ll share the food out Lex: Yeah you’d better friend you’d just better see I own this sector and your trespassing but I’ll tell you what I’m feeling generous today why don’t you just give me the bag and I’ll say no more about it oh and don’t try running you might get away but they won’t Amber: Who are you I don’t recognise your tribe Lex: Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of what Ryan: Locos Dal: Let’s get out of here Lex: Demon Dogs Amber: I wonder where this car park leads to Dal: It must be a shopping mall or something there should be a way out up ahead Amber: I hope your right Lex: Come on Salene: I hope it’s safe Amber: Come on let’s check it out Patsy: Maybe there’s some food hear Dal: I’ll go have a look around it look like the place has been looted but you never know Amber: Dal be careful Lex: Come on in here what's up there Ryan: Nothing Lex: We'd better get back to sector 12 while it's still light come on Amber: So your Patsy and your name is? Patsy: Paul Amber: And who's this? Patsy: Bob Amber: Did you have any luck? Dal: No Amber: Well... Dal: We don't have much so we have to share Amber: This is Patsy and Paul Patsy does all the talking I think her brother's a bit shy Patsy: He's not shy Paul: I'm deaf Dal: He doesn't seem to have any trouble talking Patsy: When he feels like it Amber: Oh I see, do you lip read Paul? Patsy: He says he prefers to sign Amber: What does that mean Dal: It means we're in trouble Lex: Now where was I before I was so rudely interrupted? How the hell did you do that? We'll find another way in you're not getting away that easy. Amber: Looks like you're the one not getting away Dal: What do you want with us? We've got no argue with the Locusts Amber: These aren't locusts if they where they would have done the job right Lex: Open it up, open it up now or you'll regret it I'm gonna count to ten 1, 2, 3... Jack: ...4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. So what happens now? I think you'll find that was a fairly empty threat. You didn't quiet think it through, did you? Not to worry. Hi, I'm Jack and I think you've got something to say to me. Amber: Like what? Jack: Well, in my day it was thanks but times are changing. Amber: Thanks. Jack: Don't mention it. Um, these gates can only be lifted with a special wrench. I'll let the gate up when you guy's have had a chance to cool of. Come on, I'll show you around. Lex: Hey where are you going? Bray: Stay here and don't move your safe here Trudy: But what about you Bray: Well I'll scout out the area and see what I can find Amber: Why are you doing this? Jack: Doing what? Amber: Helping us we could be Demon Dogs for all you know Jack: You guys? Amber: Maybe not all the same you didn't have to let us in here Jack: It's simple I've been living out of a tin of baked beans for about a week now and even that's running low Amber: Well we haven't got much food either Jack: But you can help me find some. It's the least you can do after I helped you with your little problem back there. Dal: Look, thanks for your help but we have to move on first thing in the morning, right Amber? Jack: Suit yourself. You won't find a better place to crash than this. Salene: It's so big and empty Cloe: I'm tired Patsy: Me too Salene: It's getting dark look what are we gonna do about sleeping Amber: I've got a blanket the younger ones can have that the rest of us will just have to make do Jack: Sounds good but...ah...I could go one better. Paul: Look, beds! Jack: What do you think? Amber: It's like heaven Salene: Clean sheets real feather pillows Jack: Of course I sleep in the electrical shop sort of feel attached to the place Lex: Hey open this gate! Amber: What are we gonna do about those three locked in a cage? Jack: Oh forget it it's what you do with animals lock them up. Zandra: You're wasting your time they're not gonna let us out save your strength. Ryan: This place ain't so bad we've been in worse places than this. Lex: Who asked you? Give me that! Dal: What's wrong? Amber: She can't find her teddy. Cloe: I wanna go home. Amber: I know it's alright this is your home for now at least. Zandra: Come on Lex there's nothing you can do. Ryan: Right sounds like the Locos we're all dead meat. Lex: You'll see I'm warning you.
