Apocalypse Pompeii Page #3

---

Are you two married?

Uh Not quite yet. No.

It's complicated.

Are you getting a signal with

that?

No.

Then you might want to conserve your

battery when we get signal at some point.

Really?

What's your deal dude?

Oh sorry. I work for a travel blog back home.

Just fly around the world, take photos

of tourist traps. My first trip

to Italy. It's exciting.

Hey...

Did you hear that?

What?

I don't hear anything?

I think it stopped.

I don't think so.

Well?

Looks like I'm on my own.

Oh no you're not.

You work fast.

Good guys have friends.

We are not much.

You're all the paper pushers you

could dig up.

Yeah the best I could do at

short notice.

Good to see you soldier.

Captain Pierce.

Look what the cat dragged in.

Always looking for work.

I'm glad I'm not doing this on

my own. Cane.

Never leave you hanging boss. The old band's

officially back together for one night only.

We hear you got a problem?

Yeah. The size of a mountain.

Your family?

They're at ground zero. We're

getting them out.

Come on. Let's go.

I can't thank you enough.

It was the least I could do.

There is much I still owe you.

Thank. Oh um,

There is one thing.

Anything. Anything at all.

Could you get me a chopper?

Military grade?

Are you out of your mind? I'm Nato leazon.

This isn't even my country.

I will get me court Martial.

Alright alright. You're right.

You're absolutly right.

I'll figure it out.

Yes I'm sure you will.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Dinner when you come home.

If you come home.

We got gear?

Locked and loaded. The whole kit, but lacking

the kaboodle. We don't have conveyance.

Yeah. We're gonna get a chopper.

We need something large enough

to hold cargo for transport and

extraction,

Plus we need to land on a dime. basically

means we need something fast and agile

to ge us out of trouble.

It's gonna be a war zone out

there.

I could call us a favor to the

British Army.

No we don't have time. Ah! Damn!

Back it up. Back it up!

So we need to secure a chopper

here in Naples, and fast.

Yep.

I'm guessing, civilian option is

out of the question.

Any ideas?

Yeah.

I know that look.

What are you planning?

Something Carlo is not gonna

like.

If there are many more of that size, I

don't know wether this villa is gonna hold.

Ok were else can we go Mykaela?

Sweetie you have been reading books about

volcanos as long as I can remember.

Can you think of some place

else?

So place that's safer?

Crap. Wait.

Christine, do you still have

that map of pompeii?

Yes. Yes I do.

Right. So...

We are here.

We need to get to here.

We should get ready to move like

now!

We need to get there before what

happens next.

Why? What happens next?

You don't want to know.

Tell us.

The heat surge.

How much heat are we talking?

Enough.

EVERYBODY GO! NOW!

Mom! Run!

Here.

What's that?

Just take it.

Come on. Go. Go Go.

PAUL!

Where are we headed?

The only place that has the ride

me need.

JFC Naples?

Isn't that a NATO base?

Yeah it's an Italian Post. It's

the hard way.

As usual.

Just the way I like it.

Oh come on.

Take a right here.

Come on!

How much time do we have?

According to Carlo, only a couple of hours.

Hold on hold on.

Let's have a look.

Let's help him with that car.

Come on.

Jeff stop.

You hear that?

Looks like we should have

actually stayed home.

We need to move.

Incoming!

Move! Move! Move! Move!

Ok.

So the rocks have stopped.

That's good right?

It's good if you don't want to

be hit by flamming rocks but,

It's not good if you don't like

heat.

We need to keep moving.

How much further?

Not far.

The roof is intact.

Come on. Everyone inside.

Whoa.

This looks like a death trap to

me.

We can see the entrance from

here.

Why can't we just keep going?

We don't have time.

When the heat surge hits, there

is no way we could out run it.

What? Are we just suppose to

believe you?

You will do well to listen to

her.

Alright. Listen to the girl that almost

got us killed inside a collaping ruin.

There's nothing falling from the

sky?

This is our chance to get out of

here.

Please come with us.

Wait guys, seriously.

Please. Come on.

I mean, they're kinda right.

It's really small in here.

Good?

Yeah.

Better then I expected.

We need to shut this door.

It will help to block the heat

wave, when it hits.

Ok Mykaela, are you sure that

this is alright?

In 1902 a volcano erupted on

martinique.

There was only one survivor: a

man in a jail cell.

Everybody unpack or take off the

close you don't need.

I need your water too.

sure.

Thanks. Thanks mom.

Here.

Thanks.

Wait. What are you doing with

the water? We may need this.

I need to soak the clothes to

plug the cracks on the door.

That's what the survivor or

Martinique did to stay alive.

Except he had to use his own

urine.

Hmm.

Thanks.

What do you think cap.?

We're not gonna catch them with their

pants down. But there are gaps.

What do you think? Distruction

or evasion?

A little of both.

So give us the run down.

Targets one o'clock.

Those choppers are exactly what we need.

They're gunships not rescue vehicles.

They won't be used for ANY

civilian rescue operation.

We're not hurting the rescue

effort.

Right.

We're just adding some fire power.

Once we get into the air and over Pompeii,

It'll be just like being back in the

sand box... only a little worse.

Exactly.

It's why we have to be in the

offensive.

How do we get in?

We find a whole in the

perimiter.

Then we stealth in, but we'll need

a distraction on the outside.

I'll cover that part.

Saved me from asking.

You know me, I just like blowing

things up.

Game on. When do we move?

How about now? Times a ticking.

and uh, minimal force.

Keep your heads down.

This is why I listen to you.

I expect that to be tattooed on

your forehead when we get home.

This is it.

The surge.

Mykaela.

Yeah mom.

I am so-so proud of you. baby.

Mom.

You are the best - best child

anyone could have

ever asked for.

I love you so much.

I'm sorry Rashida.

It's not your fault.

Look, if we make it out of this,

I promise...

I know.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

We made it.

That was it?

I mean...

This doesn't seem real.

None of this makes any sense.

It's over now, right?

We can rest up here for a few

minutes.

That's the worst of it, right?

Come on!

This is far from over.

I feel naked doing this in broad

daylight.

You're loosing youe nerve

hurricane?

Hell no.

Sorry Carlo. Do it.

I know, he's late.

Any minute now.

It should be about time now.

That our cue. Come on.

Come on baby.

Start off for me.

We gotta go!

I know I knmow, I'm on it.

Hold on.

Alright here we go.

Oh my god.

So. Tell us who's the volcano

expert.

Who we gonna die next.

Our main concern is the surfuric gas.

For the time being at least.

Deadly in high doses, we'd have to be near

alot of ash to pose an emidiate threat.

How much ash?

A lot of ash, like 10 feet of

more,
