"You know" Almond said, scratching his chin and narrowing his eyes for a better look.  "Those things can really move.  I mean, they were way on the other side of town when they got out and now, now most of those residential buildings are starting to look really families."  He pointed at a red building he passed by every day on his way to work.  "I know that one!"  He almost jumped out of his seat, but the knowledge of the coffee and hot tea that would fly into his face gave him a pause.  "I know that one."  He whispered as loudly as he could but the other people in the room didn't turn to him.  They kept watching the television.  At least the staff didn't.  He checked the other woman but she wasn't there.  He blinked twice before he looked around for her.  

"Hey!"  He called as he saw her just before she left the room.  "Hey!  Wait up!  I don't know if that's a good idea."  He hurried after her and called out for her to stop running because the soldiers were coming towards them, and were raising what passed for their weapons as they did.  "Get down!"  Almond yelled!  Unsure of what else to do he jumped towards the woman, hoping to get a hold of her and pull her down before those weapons started spitting fire, or molten rocks, or whatever the hell the obsidian men used as projectiles. .
