Apocalypse Pompeii Page #4

---

We have to go now.

Hey.

What is it? I aould telll it's

something else?

Nothing anyone else has to worry

about.

Mykalea if there is more danger there

isn probaly we need to know about it ok?

It's just if Vesuvius decides to erupt again,

it's gonna get worse with every eruption.

How much worse?

Ever heard of crackatoa?

Alright, where is he?

There.

Let's pick him up.

Alita, open up.

Come on. Come on. Come on

cowboy.

Hey hey hey hey.

You ok soldier?

Thanks.

Are come on. Hold on hold on.

We're off.

This is more fun the taking

kabul from the taliban.

He's gonna bleed out.

You alright cane?

Thanks Cade.

Just don't pass out till we get

there.

Actually don't pass out till we

get back.

That's why you call me

hurricane.

Cause I'm unstopple baby.

No they call you hurricane

because you are full of hot air.

Alright guys come on. Let's

focus.

Cane, I need you up here.

Come on.

Alita you're on coms.

Copy that.

You good?

Five by five. Good ahead and had

her to me captain.

She's all yours.

I've got it.

What's our ETA?

We should be there in 35

minutes.

Keep her floored.

Well I'll be dammed.

Well alright.

Come on everybody.

Having any luck?

You never know.

Mom, the sat phones.

Yeah, well...

I think I lost mine back at the

Villa.

It's ok, I still go...

Must have fall out when I fell.

Well we're quite a pair,

aren't we?

What do you think?

I don't know.

Seems right.

I think we should go in.

Are you ok?

Yeah yeah I'm fine. Don't worry.

Are you sure?

It's ok.

Come on.

What now?

Mud slide!

Go go go!

Just go!

Come on!

Just go! Go!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

The mud slide brought in a lot

of ash.

That means there's gonna be a-

What?

Vocanic ash that you were

talking about earlier?

And there's a lot of dirt in

there too, right?

Maybe there isn't enough ash to

make it a problem?

Like - Like you were saying.

Maybe.

I'm no expert.

I could get us all killed.

No.

Dude, we'd be dead already if it

wasn't for you.

None of us know jack about

volcanos.

We're following you.

It's gonna be ok.

Ok.

So...

What's our next move boss?

I'm not sure.

Dammit.

Nothing.

Um...

Hey guys.

We've got company.

How the hell are they gaining on us.

They're all the same helicopter, right?

What's our speed?

I'm cracking and banking.

I don't know what the hell is going on.

Maybe they have jettisoned ballast.

or maybe they're more outfitted

for attack instead of transport.

Or maybe we stole the slowest god

damn helicopter in the Italian army.

Cade! Secure that door.

What? I was just gonna take a few shots.

get them off our back.

A lot can happen with a granade launcher.

I'm not killing innocent soldiers.

Please be advised we have instructions

to return you to base at once.

Please be advised that we are under

orders shoot if you will not comply.

Do you understand. We will shoot you out

of the sky, unless you turn around now.

Jeff, please don't do this.

Return to base with us

immediatly.

I'm sorry Carlo I have too.

Sir, we are almost within firing

distance, sir.

Fire a couple warning shots.

Fire now.

Cane, how far are we?

I could get us to that cloud

with in 3 minutes.

But they are gonna be within

firing range in 1.

I think they're in fising range

now.

Yeah.

Crap.

When I said warning shots I

didn't mean hit him!

Do you understand?

Yes sir.

Right!

Will not happen again sir.

It will not happen again sir.

Other wise they can get court

martialed.

Should I persue though sir?

Pursue pursue.

You are instructed to pursue.

You use every trick you got.

But you get us into that cloud, got it?

You guys might wanna buckle up

for this part.

Good job. 2 left.

Almost within firing range sir.

Wait wait wait wait. Thinks

about this. If you fire

now, any shots that you miss

could hit the civilian population

trying to leave a volcanic

eruption down below.

My advise would be close up.

Yes sir.

I got this.

Crap.

No no no no, when I say pull up,

I don't mean fly up his ass.

Ok. Let's see who's got the

biggest cajones.

Cane!

You really have to do this?

Yeah he does.

If he jigs left, let him go. Too

many civilians are out there.

If he jigs right, you could

shoot.

Uh sir, the microphone is on

sir.

Mic was-

yeah.

My apologies.

Hey it happens sir.

2 to 3 hotel, be advised we have

a firing solution on you.

They got a lock.

Oh no they don't.

1-0-6

- Whoa! Did you see that?

Did you see that. - Yes sir.

That's a commuter aircraft. That

is a civilian in the area.

Whatever you do, abort abort

abort.

Aborting sir. Abordng 1-0-6

returning.

Alright.

Take us there.

We've got company.

How's your ankle?

It will be alright.

This reminds me of the night raids

on Baghdad during the Gulf War.

Only this is much worse.

That's weird. This remins me of

hell.

We should be over Pompeii in 15.

Uh so when we get there, how the

hell are we gonna find them?

They are not likely to be out in

the open.

And ruins. There is a lot of ground

to cover in the little time we have.

Before Mykaela and Lynne left I made

them take Sat. phones with them.

So we can just call.

No good. have been trying snce

we left Naples.

All the phones have GPS

tracking.

They tether to one another.

Provided that they are all

functional.

Bingo.

One of them is still up.

The coordinates.

Mykaela.

Are you down here?

Hey mom.

You ok?

Yeah.

I just got a bit of a headache.

There.

The Pompeii Museum.

Good.

Cane. When we get to Pompeii look for

a free standing 4 story building.

It shouldn't be too hard to

find.

Roger that.

We have 45 minutes left for

extraction.

Don't worry Cap. We'll find

them.

Where's Christine?

Christine!

Christine!

Mykaela.

We have to go!

Everyone! We have to go!

Now!

Mom

Mom

- Breathe. Kai Help me.

- Come on.

Where's Christine?

Follow me.

This way!

Quick!

Does anyone have any clothes that I

can use. I need clothes and water!

Help me tear this coth into

strips.

Keep the baking soda over your

mouth and breath through that, ok?

It should obsorb that gas which

is in the air.

In theory.

What the hell was that?

Mom it's your phone!

This is yours?

I thought it was one of those electronic

tour guide things or something-

I think dad's been trying to

track us.

Come on. We need to get to

higher ground.

Sir.

What is it? Do you still have

contact?

Negative. The connection is

gone.

Damn.

Doesn't change anything. We

still start at the museum.

Same plan. Eye on the prize.

Jesus.

You guys get strapped in. We're

gonna be coming in really hot.

Double time. Come on.

Come on!

This thing is solid.

At least it's keeping the gas

out.

Another earthquake?

Not this time.

You don't happen to have any

dynimite in that bag, do you?

Not even a firecracker.

Ok, well we've gotta do

something.

Dad was certainly searching us on

the sat phone before it got smashed.

It had to be him.

He knows where we are.

Do you think that the signal
