Another sign... important. But what was it? And is my house about to burn down?
Make sure the neighborhood isn't on fire again. Then focus on the dreams, and try to recall. Is there a connection to the first dream?
You look out your window. The fires are still burning strong in the northwest, but your neighborhood appears safe for the moment.
You lay back down and think. You only have to think about it for a moment before it rushes back to you. It was a symbol; something complex and not easily described - a complex series of lines, curves and interlocking geometric shapes- but you're pretty sure you could recreate it if you wanted to. You have no idea what it means, the image has no context in your mind, but you feel a great emotional weight attached to it. Almost...almost like a memory of your greatest fear or happiest moment, but without any recognizable emotion. It holds importance in your mind but you don't know why.
((Say wha? Why would Rico kick him out like that? That wasn't supposed to happen, Kri wanted to exit himself. Oh well, nothing to do about it now I guess :/
Go to entrance with car, ask if they'll let me in. Try to remember if there's a road out of town near here.
(You rolled 10 again. So think of it more as you punting him out of the car at the exact, perfect moment in your skid so that he would just lightly land on his feet as opposed to being run over or flying out at high speed)
You pull up, through the parking lot and up to the gate that leads into the scrapyard proper. The gate house is empty and the gate itself is firmly closed. It's not very surprising, really; being this early in the morning and this strange of a day. In fact, now that you think about it, you'd be surprised if anyone showed up, worker or security.

(( Yeah, works for me XD
I imagine it was just PW making that action *slightly* less dangerous for me by having you shove me out at a stop. ))
Right... you wanted us to stop?
Continue to look non-threatening while they respond
"Why did your friend run like that?" The man in the center asks, gesturing back down to the road to where Rico used to be. As the man asks you this, your cellphone starts vibrating.
Four. I said four, and that's total. Me, you, and two others I've met already. All of us have had that.
And I brought a decent amount of supplies. I had a bug-out bag ready when you - at least, I'm assuming it was you - warned of the fire. Food, water, clothing, some basic medical stuff, and just general stuff.
And all of my ammunition.
Samuel opens his coat just far enough to let the man see his holster, then pulls out his cell phone and dials the first man he'd met with the 'The End is Near' experience.
I want to make sure the others are all right. I'm no believer in the supernatural or anything, but this is just too much of a coincidence.
And awaits the other man to pick up.
I assume you're calling Kri, right?
Good, you do that. I've got a large amount of my worldly possessions strapped to my bike, so no need to worry about me taking your shit - I got plenty of it.
...
Get one of those batons and holsters for them if I have one and hang it off my belt. Better safe than sorry and all that.
You pull your collapsible baton out of it's holster and carefully jam it in one of your belt loops, where it's easier to access in a hurry.
