KITCHEN - EARLY MORNING
Rachel, smoking a cigarette and drinking a diet coke, FLINGS open
pantry doors, closet doors -- looking for Ben -- attempting to put

The CAMERA follows. The PULSE of BUG BATTERIES is blinding.
Cap Troopers scream as they are torn apart right and left by an enemy
seen only in disorientating glimpses.

Something slices Kitten Smith, and he goes down screaming.
