You here three shot gun blasts and one big caliber hand gun pop. You rush to the stairs yelling, Hey I'm alive, I'm up here!".
"Shhhh, A voice says", "Two of us are coming up for you, is there anyone else alive in here?".
"Not that I know of". Two men rush to meet you. They shake hands and one of them unsheaths a long bowie knife and he hands it to you for self defense. They are a group of fourteen. Eight have guns. There's a riot truck taken from a fema camp parked outside. They are gathering people and food and supplies. You follow the two outside and into the armored truck.
