"REH" She leapt nimbly, but not nimbly enough away from Alex as he tried to grab her, and he entangled her in the shirt. She squirmed, but didn't try to bite. In the chaos ensuing, he is able to stuff her into a bag, though she continues to squirm, she doesn't scream. The other dogs watch on with concern, and follow the group closely for a distance, before dispersing.

In the not too distant future ...
Ashley-
Ashley brings out a piece of wire, formed into an L, and looks for car to use. He settles on a mild-mannered white honda car, probably seven years old, sitting out on the street, slips his wire beneath the seal under the window and begins to jiggle it. His brows knit with the difficulty of his unseen maneuvers, and then, suddenly, it unlocks. CLICK.
Ashley opens the door, and then sits beneath, using the same piece of wire to wrench one of the unused lower panels open, and fiddles with the wiring. After a few minutes, the car ROARS.
IT'S ALIVE!
'Alex, here it is. Are you ready? I'll watch you so that nothing happens...in fact, let me pull the car out so that you have a stretch of street... " Ashley pulls the car out, and lets it run in the street. It's amazing the gas still works... While Ashley hotwired a car like a common criminal, Alex stretched his arms and back to prepare for driving. Then, he carefully got in the car, buckled up, adjusted the rearview and side mirrors, tested the blinkers, and put both hands on the wheel.
"I'M READY!" He pressed his foot against the accelerator. It went VROOOOM. But nothing happened!
"I think this vehicle is broken." He floored it, and the car made a horrible VRUUUUUOOOM but wouldn't budge!
What's the dealio!?

Ashley- "...Alex, don't floor the vehicle. You have to move it into 'drive' mode. Look. These are all the modes you can use in driving. Park, Drive, Drive mode 2, and Reverse." Ashley points to the different settings."Put on your seatbelt, and please do not floor the car."

"Oh, I knew that!" He shifted to drive and did NOT floor it. The car inched forward across the cleared street. When he felt more confident, Alex sped up to 20 MPH.
"Look at that sky. The clouds and birds are chillaxing together, underneath like a million stars. It's beautiful. If each star has nine planets like ours - Pluto is a planet, okay? - there must be at least nine million out there. And if even ONE PERCENT OF ONE PERCENT OF ONE PERCENT of those support life, that's ... like ... nine ... ninety ... uh ... Sometimes, I think about all that and wonder: who would win in a fight - aliens or monsters? Isn't that what the X Files was about? Aliens fighting Sasquatch? I may have just imagined the battle, actually." As he waxed philosophical, a wall of cars was loomed. They were (slowly) driving straight at them!

Ashley- "Pay attention, Alex. Put your foot on the brake, the other petal, and press down, gently. With one foot. Don't use both feet or you will waste gas and it will be hard to control." Ashley watched the wall of cars, and takes the wheel gently with one hand so they can start to turn. "Turn it, slowly.. look, try to pay attention to the road."

Ashley- "...I don't think we can safely drive this car anymore. No matter what happens, that zombie cannot harm us while we're in there. I'll have to find another car old enough for this to work, and set it up again." Ashley sighed. "...You're alright?" He pulled himself out of the reasonably crumpled car. Thank God the airbags had not deployed. They must have been expired...

"Yes, Sir. I'm sorry. The zombie had a malicious glint in his ..." As he stepped from the car, Alex froze and pointed to a solitary man standing across the street.
"FRANKIE! And he's still wearing my red polo." -Frankie

Ashley- Ashley stepped out of the car to start looking for something that was old enough, and then, he spotted FRANKIE."..Why does he have your red polo shirt?" He asks, the question was, perhaps, legitimate, as he continued to scan the area. There was something vaguely familiar about that man, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Repeated traffic violations?

Ashley- "You...." Ashley steps out of the car, and walks up to the hunched Frankie like robocop in his suit jacket, looking a bit more sophisticated than Frankie was probably used to seeing. "...Why do you have Alex' shirt? And what are you doing here? You..You must be. THE DRUNKEN FRATERNITY BOY who called me a pig as he defecated on a sign."

-Frankie"Whaaaaat?" Frankie suddenly had a glorious flashback! The color drained from the world, and they were all IN THE PAST (before the apocalypse)! He stood on the bad streets of Seattle (Frankie couldn't remember where, exactly - he'd been pretty wasted). After knocking back shots and seducing hot ladies who were totally in to him all night, he needed to take care of business. Wasn't that what fire hydrants were for, anyway?
But then a jerk son of a bitch RUINED HIS CHILL and started ranting about "public nudity" and "breaking the law" or some shit. The flashback ended. Hurrah."Oh, yeah. I remember you. That wasn't a sign. That was a fire hydrant. So. Whaddayawant from me now? I'm not taking a leak on this zombie, so what's your beef?"

Ashley- "...Give Alex back his shirt." He says once, though he looks at Frankie like he might be a piece of dog poop. Small dog poop that has parts of small toys in it. He's taken on his most commanding voice, one that most people would use to scold a dog that might have pooped on the carpet. Or in this case, a piece of poop who pooped on the carpet.

Ashley- Ashley sprints after Frankie like the 6 million dollar man, only sped up appropriately. He wore his most silly, teeth-baring expression in the meanwhile. His dark eyes had an unfitting intensity, like he was hunting down the worst of murders. HOW DARE SOMEONE THROW TEETH AT ALEX. "Come back here you hoodlum!"
