Tomorrow, When the War Began Page #4

- Where are you parents?

- I don't know.

- Maybe they left a note.

- Did they say they were going away?

- What's the story, El?

- I've no idea. They should be here.

- Let's ring my parents.

- No, ring Homer's. They're closer.

- There's no dial tone.

- What?

What about TV?

- Maybe your grandmother got sick so

they left... -And cut the phone lines?

- Some big electrical problem?

- No, they wouldn't leave Millie to...

- Oh, stinks! - Power must be out.

I'll check the generator.

Where's your laptop?

- Sh*t!

- Ellie, let's go to Homer's.

- Ellie...

- What?

- Maybe not a good idea.

- Stop the car. Let me out!

Mama! Papa!

Wait, where's Lee going? Lee?

What are you doing?

- We shouldn't leave it in the open.

- Remember the planes?

We weren't in the open.

Are you serious?

Homer?

I already tried that.

- Real quiet out there.

- Did you send out a call?

Wouldn't be safe.

No! I know what you're thinking

and it's not possible.

Absolutely, completely impossible.

That kind of stuff just doesn't

happen here. Not in this country.

We gotta be careful.

It could be a lot at stake here.

She's right. We've got to assume

something bad has happened.

Of course something bad

has happened. My dog is dead.

- I didn't mean it like that.

- Shut up! Everyone shut up!

Jesus Christ, what is going on?

Kevin's place was next.

I don't remember who suggested it,

but we decided to

stay off the main roads.

Mom! Dad! Mitchell!

Flip?

Flip!

- Looks alright. - He always has a bucket

of food and some water. Don't you, boy?

You can't bring that.

You think I'm just gonna leave

him here? I'm not leaving him!

Stop it!

I'm not leaving him!

He's got a point.

Let's take Flip to Corrie's and then

we can make another decision

depending on what we

find there. Agreed?

Flip, let's go.

C'mon.

That's four out of four.

The rest of you live in town.

Robyn's house is on Coachman's

Lane. That's probably the closest.

Yeah, you can see most of Wirrawee

from the hill at the back.

- It might tell us something.

- Then we go to Robyn's next.

Flip, sit. Stay.

- Please don't touch that.

- Let's go up that hill.

Something's going on

at the Showground.

- I think that's where everyone is.

- What about those other lights?

Hospital. Must be using

the emergency generators.

Maybe we should split up.

Split up? No, we can't.

We have to stay together.

We need to be out of town

before dawn. Just in case.

I'll take Fi to her house.

Lee, you take Robyn to yours.

We'll meet back here at 5 a.m.

So we just stay here?

You get to go to the Show.

- Whose voices are those?

- I don't know.

- I think we should go back.

- No. Wait.

We have to get a better
