Damn fries and gravy all over my Sunday-go-to-meetin' t-shirt." Zeke muttered indignantly.

"Anyone know what the blast was yet? Was it Jesus coming to destroy the whore of Babylon or something or maybe just a propane tank?"

"I...thought it was thunder?" Ray frowned. She had mixed feelings about being able to see. Part of her wished she could, again, just so she had a clue of what was going on. But, from the sounds of everything, she was glad she couldn't.

...except for that nagging feeling that she was being watched...

"Larry," she whispered, "is that really gruff guy staring at me? I feel like I'm being watched..."

Derek turns to glance at Ray, "That wasn't thunder. There was no lightning, and thunder doesn't turn the sky pink. My guess is whatever's hovering over us caused it. I'd bet anything that guy who ran out knows something."

John grabs the man and says, "Hey..where are you going don't you realize what is going on here?" John points up at the sky "You're acting strange the moment the sky lit up and all and I think you know something we don't so I want some answers now."

Larry glances around.

"Nope, Ray, everyone is looking outside. You don't worry none, Mike and I will make sure nobody bothers you."



The young man stops, surprised. He'd apparently not even noticed John yelling and running behind him.

"Answers?" He seems to think, then nods. "I can understand that. You'll get your answers at the tower, which is where I'm heading."

He starts moving again toward the coast, this time at a walk, glancing back as if expecting John to follow.

Ray chuckles to Derek. "No lightning or thunder, eh? Why else would I have been curled on the floor covering my ears?" With a giggle and a playful stance with her hands on her hips, she asks plainly, "Are you deaf and blind, sir?" She gives him a wink, then smiles to Larry and gives him a hug. He needs one. So does she. "Thanks, Larry." She gives him a smile, then grabs her coffee pot and tries to go back to work 'as normal.' "Wait..." she pauses and listens closely. "Where are the last two people that came in?"

Derek scowls at Ray. "Those two idiots are running, as I just said. And one of them knows something."

Ray simply smiles in Derek's direction and walks toward him, coffee pot in hand. "You're awfully tense. And, I'm sorry, I didn't know to whom you were referring. It takes me a little bit to readjust after I've been rattled. I'm not like you, you know. I can't see everyone or everything that's around. I have to use my other senses. If I get disoriented, well...forgive my stupid questions, sir." She smiles again and shrugs happily, "More coffee?"

She seems the type to not let things bother her.

Derek looks back up at the sky, "I'm fine."

He's thinking, "Damn, this one is gonna be nuthin but dead weight."

John nods and follows the man to the coast on the way there John asks, "What is your name?"
