It took David a few seconds to make his decision but he did. Pointing the barrel of the shotgun at the crowd in case anyone got any last second courage.  "Max, inside!" David said firmly. For it's part the dog listened obediently and quickly turned around padding its way back into the bunker. "Follow Max, Parker, and you" David ordered, pointing the barrel of the shotgun at Kelly, he used very much the same tone on them as he had on the dog. As soon as they were past him and inside he quickly stepped back, the door closing automatically behind him.<br/><br/>As the door closed there were shouts and cries as the reality that they weren't going to get in hit several people in the crowd, some tried to rush forward and stop the door from closing but it was too late within moments David's bunker was sealed. With the door closed the interior of the bunker was pitch black for  a split second before the inside lights turned on.<br/><br/><br/>The florescent glow revealed a very small room with a single cot and what looked like shelves full of food. Max was seated in front of the back wall his tail wagging softly. David quickly checked his watch as he made his way to the back wall. He reached forward grabbing a can labeled 'prunes' and pulled on it. Revealing that the can itself was a lever attached to the wall. With the hiss of escaping air the shelf that the can had been on swung backwards revealing a small lift similar to those used in mine shafts. Max quickly walked onto the lift and sat down on his haunches again "Come on" David said as he got onto the lift and activated it.<br/><br/><br/>The lift began to move downwards as the door that they had just come through closed behind them. David had never had an opportunity to really show off the lengths that he'd gone to in order to preserve his existence. That fool of a reporter had only ever seen the false room they had just exited. And so he couldn't help himself from explaining what was happening a bit. "That up there was a decoy room" he said calmly "It probably won't survive the attack unless by some stroke of luck there aren't any explosions near it. Right now we are moving towards the real shelter. It's 5 stories underground, it has it's own lead lined water reserves, several generators, and quite a few other little perks. "We will be safe from all but a direct hit on the bunker"<br/><br/>Once the lift reached the bottom of the shaft David led Parker and Kelly towards a regular sized steal door. He pulled it open and waved them inside, as the lights in this new room activated they unveiled something entirely different from the extremely small room that they had just been in.  This new room was the size of a large dining room. Against the left wall there was a high quality bed, next to it sat a large dog house with "Max" stamped on it. In the far right corner a combination shower and bath tub was built into the wall. The right corner closest to the door was dominated by several advanced looking communication devices set up on a oak table. The center of the far wall sported an electric stove, and shelf upon self of canned and preserved foods. In the center of the room sat David's lazy chair which faced a plasma tv screen. David closed the door behind them and then in an almost amused voice said "Welcome to my humble abode....There are quite a few rules that go along with living in my house...." His small speech was interrupted by his wrist watch going off. It took him a second to turn it off before he continued "....But we can get to those in good time. Right now, why don't you both join me in watching the end of the world?" As he said this he walked towards his lazy chair, sat down and turned on his television. His shotgun was placed safely in his lap.<br/><br/>A microwave began to sound off from the direction of the rooms 'kitchen'  "Ahh perfect timing." David said his tone sounding quite pleased with himself. "Would one of you two be a dear and fetch the popcorn from the microwave?" he asked.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/>As the lines into the shelter continued to move forward, each person was checked by one of the security personnel who seemed to be checking for everything from weapons to terminal diseases. Several people were 'asked' to move from the line because they would not be allowed in, the first person who was asked to leave refused, and was quickly shot. There were no other refusals.<br/><br/>Soon it was Auriok's turn to be examined. The security guard didn't even look at him as he said "Place any weapons and bags you have on the table so my associate can inspect them. He then looked Auriok up and down "Occupation? Do you have any serious diseases?" he asked as another guard used a metal detector wand to check for any hidden weapons. A woman in nurse's scrubs approached Auriok and quickly pricked his hand with a needle to get a blood sample and then moved over to a small machine to check said sample. As she went about her work she silently thanked God that the war hadn't hit a few years earlier. Without the advancements in diagnostic machines they would never have been able to check people out as quickly as they were doing.<br/><br/>At the blast door to the shelter a single man (http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Mx8a4VhMxha2pM:http://www.johncastlegallery.com/JCimages/press/castle_robocop3_presskit.jpg&t=1) stood beside a table. He was dressed in a uniform similar to the one worn by the guards administering the lines except his uniform included a trench coat and the bars on his solders seemed to indicate that he was of a higher rank then the other CEDA members in the room. His attention was focused on a laptop computer that was placed on the table.<br/><br/>Though no one else knew it the laptop was hooked up to all the entrances to the shelter spread around the city. each person who entered into the actual shelter was documented and the total count of people was constantly being updated on the laptop. As soon as the count reached maximum the shelter would be closed and no one else would be allowed in. The number was quickly rising, and for anyone who wasn't already inside a shelter...time was running out.<br/>
