Apparently there was some kind of outbreak spreading throughout Los Angeles, or at least, that is what Jay gathered from the man. After the brief news flash, the man introduced himself as Allen. "What kind of outbreak? Like flu or something?" He asked, "I'm Jason by the way, everyone just calls me Jay though". The man briefly introduced his daughter, "nice to meet you" he said in a softer tone. "Yeah I came from..." Jay paused for a moment, "Ohio and there was nothing significant happening there". When the man mentioned seeing 'things like this in movies and video games' Jay wondered just what exactly was happening. "It seems pretty crazy. I heard a gunshot a little bit ago, and the crowds of course." Jay was lying through his teeth earlier, when he said he was from Ohio. He hoped that the man would not pick up on that slight pause.

When Aaron's plane lifted off in Minnesota, there were people with coughs, but that was it. That was the only thing that stuck out in his mind. [i]Am I infected? How contagious is this fucking thing?[/i] Jay thought as he waited for a response from the man. When the plane ascended from the airport, there was still no significant news regarding an infection or outbreak of any kind. Maybe if there were not gunshots, panicking mobs, and a quarantine, Jay would have not believed this man. But everything around him pointed to something big happening. All things considered, it was pretty calm since the gunshot rang out. Hopefully that was a good thing.
