#### The Night The Lights Went Out In Texas

Lucy sits tied to a chair as she is interrogated by an unknown man. She has a flashback to the night of The Blackout, September 17th 2012, where she was with her best friend Sandy Morris and other friends, Dylan and Zayn. After travelling to Dylan's house, they begin smoking along with drinking. As Dylan sleepily talks to Lucy about her mother and the fact she most likely hates him, the power in the house shuts off. As Zayn angrily yells out, Lucy looks out the window to see a plane crash from the sky, destroying a nearby hospital. Wanting to leave, Lucy tries to talk to Sandy but she just lies on the bed half-asleep. The explosion awakens Dylan's dad, who was sleeping downstairs, and he storms upstairs. In a hurry, Dylan and Lucy throw the apparently stolen drugs out the window to hide them. This doesn't work and Dylan's dad seemingly catches onto their lie and beats Dylan infront of his friends.
