The four stand outside, opposite the person who they think is dead and infected. Josh is first to approach the man.
Josh
Oi someone pass us a stick
Thomas finds a stick and hands it to Josh from a distance.
Brydie
So you're just gonna poke it?
Josh
Yeah
Josh approaches the man but before he goes to poke it he steps back
Josh
I dunno maybe I should throw something at it first, just in case
Thomas
I agree, I think there's stones over there
Isabel
But what if it is alive? Then it's just cruel
Josh
Shut up Isabel, it's infected anyway so it basically is dead. And when did you start having an opinion
Isabel
What do you mean?
Josh
You've barely said anything for days now, sulking away in the corner, we're getting sick of your attention seeking now so you can cut it out
Isabel looks hurt from what Josh has said and is trying to find words to come back with, but then Brydie steps in
Brydie
Josh shut up Isabel has been through a lot, we all have, just leave her
Josh
Tell someone who cares
Thomas
I've got stones...are we still gonna throw them..?
Josh snatches the stones from Thomas' hand
Josh
Of course we are
Josh leans back as he throws a stone at the person. Isabel winces as he's doing so. Nothing happens. Josh looks around the group and they all shrug, so he throws some more.
Josh
Guess it's dead then
Josh reaches for the stick from earlier and proceeds to poke the poke.
Josh
Aha it's definitely dead look!
Josh repeatedly pokes the person
Isabel
Stop!
Josh
Why this is fun!
Isabel
It's alive okay!
Thomas
How do you know?
Isabel hesitates to answer
Isabel
I..don't know
Brydie
C'mon let's go back inside
Josh is still poking the person, then kicks it. Josh starts laughing but then the person slowly turns over to face Josh. Josh steps back in disbelief. The others have already started to walk away before this has happened.
Josh
Guys...
Brydie
What now?
Josh
I think it's alive
The others quickly turn to face the person. The person is moving slowly and grabs the ground to get up
Thomas
Okay everyone stay calm, we need to go back inside, lock the doors again and we'll be safe
Thomas says talking slowly and calmly but is clearly scared.
Josh suddenly runs to the other side of the garden, making everyone jump. The person, who is still moving relatively slowly, is now on his feet, but is staying still.
Brydie
Josh no!
Thomas
What are you doing we need to get iside!
Josh is banging on the shed door to try and break it open, but it's not budging. The person is now walking towards the group. Brydie and Isabel stay back but Thomas, who is watching the shed doesn't notice and the person pulls him to the ground. The person is trying to bite Thomas but he keeps it's head at an arms length, but is clearly struggling.
Thomas
Help me!
Brydie
Just hold on!
Brydie runs to the shed where Josh is and together they bash the door.
Thomas
Hurry up!
Brydie and Josh continue to bash the door but still nothing happens. Thomas looks like he's going to give up but at one last push he looks to Isabel
Thomas
Isabel do something!
Isabel runs over to Thomas' aid, but still the person is trying to bite him. Isabel tries to push the person off but nothing happens.Josh and Brydie finally break down the shed door and scramble iside to get tools. Thomas' arm which was holding up the person, stopping it from biting him, bends and the person is about to bite him.
Isabel
No stop!!
The person immediately stops and it's head slowly turns to look at Isabel. Thomas takes this opportunity to push the person off him and quickly steps back from it. Isabel is still looking at the person. Josh and Brydie, now armed with garden tools run to the person and turn him over, so his head is facing the ground.
Josh
Now?
Brydie
Now!
They both start bashing the person with the garden tools. After a few moments they stop and look at the thing they just killed. Thomas and Isabel are looking distressed.
Brydie
So I guess it wasn't dead
