They are surrounded by death and panic as they try to make their way out of the club and to what they think will be safety. When they get out of the bar, they realize things are so much worse than they thought.

They are killing, raping and destroying everyone and everything in their path. Now our leads are running from them, a possible Tsunami and aftershocks in a place that has been completely destroyed.
