Part 2 (Feedback)

"Fallback" is the second episode of the Edition Two: Feedback webisode series. It premiered on October 15, 2017.

Synopsis
"The convention shuts down and con-goers are stuck inside with something awful."

Plot
Dropping everything, Jake runs down through the convention to try and get to Ethan's booth. However, all of a sudden, there are police officers and security guards everywhere, pushing people back and trying to control the growing crowds of angry and terrified people.

Jake doesn't listen as several guards pull on him; he fights to get a look at whatever is happening, and sees Ethan struggling with a pale, flailing person, who is clawing and shouting and growling at him.

Police are screaming for the person to back off. But it does nothing.

"Ugh, C'MON! SAVE HIM!" Jake screams, breaking free of the grasp of whoever held him. He bounds over the rope and grabs a metal tray from nearby and bashes it into the skull of the person, trying to simply incapacitate them. The person falls back as Jake is grabbed again and Ethan runs after him.

"Holy shit, Jake, you saved me...!" Ethan mutters as he and his best friend hastily hide behind a booth once the police let go of them.

"What the fuck happened?! Are you okay?!" Jake tosses the tray aside and looks around in fear.

"I don't know, they just stumbled over and started attacking me like I just punched them in the face!" Ethan breathes. "What the fuck is with all the police...?"

"I don't--" Jake is stopped once he feels something smack into his head. The butt end of a rifle sends him to the ground as Ethan tries to help him up.

The person holding the rifle is the security guard from before; Brock Howard.

He has a content, business-like smile on his face. "We can't have anyone interfering with our work."

Ethan glares. "What the fuck! Don't just attack my--"

Ethan is bludgeoned with the rifle as he and Jake lose consciousness within moments.

Brock looks over at some of the other officers. "Contain all of them. Nobody is safe here anymore."

Jake and Ethan are carried away whilst several fighting con-goers are impaired or outright killed by the security and police. All the while, the exits to the building have been promptly sealed.
