State of Emergency Page #2

---

My neighbor actually owns the place.

Frankly, it was the only place

I can think to go to.

What's upstairs?

Mainly offices. We keep

most of our supplies up here though.

In case one of those things gets in,

we can retreat up here

and barricade ourselves in.

Actually, the only way up here

is through that door down there.

Think of it as a, uh,

last line of defense.

Who is that?

Oh, that's Ix.

She's not the easiest to talk to.

- What happened to her?

- We don't know exactly.

When Julie and I were headed here,

we found her hunkered down in

a storm drain on the side of the road.

At first, we thought

she was one of them, but then she spoke.

Asked her if she wanted to join us, so

that's why she's here.

She'll warm up to you, eventually.

Just give her some time.

- Scott.

- Yeah?

Ask Jim if he's hungry. I feel so rude

for not offering any food.

All right, honey.

You hungry?

Sorry.

It's okay. We have plenty to go around.

Don't worry about it.

Julie cleaned your shirt for you.

Think she did the best she could here.

Thanks.

Well, I hope this cot is, uh,

comfortable enough for you.

And, uh, sorry

if the sheets smell like crap.

Pretty much all we can find around here.

It's great.

You know,

just think of it like summer camp.

Except,

you can't really go outside and play.

- Get some sleep. We'll talk tomorrow.

- Yeah.

Hi.

Yeah, yeah, I still remember that,

actually, but, uh, we're actually, uh,

just hitting 6:
30, and we have some, uh,

great music planned today,

and if you stay tuned for later,

we're gonna have our late-day drawing...

You look handsome.

What are you doing up?

I have something for you,

and I couldn't wait.

Oh, is it that time of the year already?

I thought we said

we're gonna save our money for the move.

It's not expensive, please.

Okay, but hurry, I'm gonna be late.

What is it?

Oh, my God, where'd you find this?

I stopped in at John's store to say hi,

and saw it sitting on the top shelf.

I knew you had to have it.

It's just exactly like the one

I had as a kid.

I knew you would love it.

And don't worry

if you didn't get me anything.

Not a big deal. It was just

something to brighten your day.

- I did get you something.

- You didn't forget?

- Two years is hard to forget, Em.

- Okay, where is it?

- Tonight.

- No, come on, please.

What, you just... you wanna know

where it is? Not to open, just to look.

Promise.

Okay, top drawer.

Been waiting a long time

to give you that.

Seems like I've been waiting

since the first day I met you.

Figured what...

what better time than today, you know?

Happy anniversary.

Can I open it?

Tonight.

Can I at least give you an answer?
