Safe Room

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 79015

It's been several hours. You, the girl, the moose are in the bar's 'safe room', a converted bomb shelter. The Russian Mafia had been a presence in this city for decades; every building had a safe room of some sort, even if it was just a passage into the sewers (poop smells are better then bullet wounds).
Out of sheer boredom, since the safe room doesn't unlock for ten more hours, you learn the skunk-girl is named Beverly Winsome (seriously) and the guy is Arnold Johannsen. Fortunately the adrenaline and near-death of the Russian mafia hit makes the other two realize that your recent idiotic escapades don't matter much in life. Plus, you both are attracted to Beverly and don't want to spoil it by fighting with each other. Especially since all she could find to change into is a pair of sweat pants and a nice pink tube top. Rrrrow. It's cold in here, baby.
But the two nice points Beverly brings to the situation (and the nice array of time-passing devices that don't seem to matter) doesn't detract from the seriousness outside. The one working camera (apparently the Mafia knew what to shoot) showed a STILL empty wing of the bar. Where were the cops?

  1. Another hour passes with no cops.
  2. A crackle of the intercom. "It's the police!" You see an array of uniforms on a motion activated screen...
  3. ...but the outside cam is down. How do you know it's not the Mafia?
  4. Nothing happens for a while. But then Arnold finds a console shoot'em'up and three controllers...for the hell of it you turn it on.
  5. Beverly reveals she is the mistress to the top Mafia accountant...and the man talks in his sleep.
  6. You feel an itch in your butt...apparently you're becoming a morph. Oh god, how cliche.
  7. The time-lock ends...the door opens and the bar and several nearby stores are plumb empty of people.
  8. For some reason, the three of you start talking about Doctor Who.
