My parents and my sister, we went to Paddington Station, hoping we could get on a plane, maybe we could buy our way onto a plane. I remember my Dad had all this cash, even though cash was completely useless. About 20,000 other people had the same idea. The crowd was surging. I lost my grip on my sisters hand. I remember the ground was soft. I looked down and I was standing on all these people. Like a carpet. People had fallen and... Somewhere in the crowd there were infected. It spread fast. No one could run. All you could do was climb. Climb over more people. So I did that. I climbed. And I got on top of this kiosk. Looking down you couldn't tell which faces were infected and which weren't. Then I saw my Dad. Not my Mum or my sister. My Dad. His face...Selena's right. You should be grateful.

Completely humorless. You two should get on like a house on fire.
So who are you? You're from the hospital.
Are you a doctor?
He's not a doctor he's a patient.
I'm a bicycle courier. I was riding a package from Farringdon to Shaftesbury Avenue and a car cut across me. And I wake up today in hospital. I wake up and I'm... I'm hallucinating or I'm...
What's your name?
Jim.
I'm Mark. This is Selena. Ok, Jim. I've got some bad news.
What about the government? What are they doing?
There's no government.
Of course there's a government! There's always a government! They're in a, a bunker or a plane.
No. There's no government. No army. No police. No TV, no radio, no electricity. You're the first uninfected person we've seen in six days.
Look, I have to find them. They live in Deptford. I can walk it, okay?
What, you'll go and come back, yeah?
Yes!
You won't! No one ever comes back.
So, lesson one: you never go anywhere alone unless you've got no choice. Lesson two: only travel during daylight unless you've got no choice. We'll take you tomorrow. We'll all go and find your dead parents together, okay?
