20 Ft Below: The Darkness Descending Page #6

You'd better be goddamn ready.

You screw this up, and I'll

cut your throat.

Listen, get back to

Central right now.

No! No discussion.

There's something big happening

and it's happening right now.

Tourist! Get out, get out!

Go! Go! Get out of here!

You never know whether you're

the hunted or the hunter.

The spies...

Spies everywhere, they're

looking at you.

There's one back there.

I know there is, but

you can't see it.

I can't see it, you can't see

it, you can't see it.

They're behind you.

Yeah, it's hard, because you

gotta give a lot up...

a lot of yourself, that is,

and maybe, you know, maybe too much.

Yeah, it takes a toll,

that's for sure.

But it is a job, I mean, it's

the nature of the beast, so...

what do you do, you

just gotta...

you gotta do your job.

Get this done quick.

Then get your asses back.

It's coming! Move your ass!

Don't rush me.

Got it. Got yours?

Where's the other one?

Where's the other one?

Go to hell!

Where is he? Huh?

Where is he? Where is he? No!

Where is he? Where is he?

You're useless. You

are useless!

And now you're too late!

Oh, my god.

All right, little man,

Armstrong! Don't move.

Armstrong!

Don't move.

Goddamn it.

Armstrong! You should know better than

to sneak up on a patrol like that.

You want to get yourself shot?

I'm way ahead of you.

Medic!

I think we're good, all good,

all good.

I think we're definitely good.

We're not good, we're not good!

We're not...

I'm missing all the fun. I

cannot believe...

I cannot believe Jake did this

to me. You want to fight you...

I can't believe he

did this to me.

Weren't you supposed to

stay in Central?

Yeah, so?

Yeah, so, let's go back.

Great idea, why don't you

listen to your big sister?

Little sister. Two minutes.

Whatever.

And you know, I'm

missing all the fun!

I'm going. Bye. Go.

Wait. Go if you're

gonna go then.

Wait, take him with you.

Okay, look, I'm working here.

Why don't you go

back to Central?

I can't listen to your

whining anymore.

I'm not wh... whatever.

I know when I'm not wanted.

Oh, you're wanted, you're

wanted back in Central.

Let me go!

I'm gonna kill him. Flash!

Let me go!

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

You can't just abduct me home!

We weren't gonna... let me free!

Hey, freaks! Yeah, you!

Put the girl down!

Flash!

Go get help!

Oh, man! What's the big idea?

If you're messing with me.

Flash!

I said put the girl down!

Okay, gruesome... let's dance.

Flash! Flash!

Flash!

Help! Help!

What happened?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Ow, sh*t!

Ssh, ssh, ssh, sh*t.

Okay, it's okay. There's paramedics

on Track 57, we'll take him there.

Ssh, ssh, no, no, it's okay.

Oh, no.

Where is she?

She's gone. Oh, no, she's gone.

You are a witness.

And you are a nut case.

Charming.

Hey, what are you

planning to do? Huh?

Charge down there?

Kill all of them?

Well, what do you want me to do?

Just sit around here and do

nothing while he kills her...

the way he killed Christine and

the way he killed Jimmy?

What's your other way, to

turn the other cheek?

You have another way,

you show me.

Until then, this is my way.

You should be grateful.

You know what, you're right.

Why don't you untie my hands

and I'll thank you properly.

You will have a front row seat

at the fall of an empire...

an empire of greed.

You really are crazy,

aren't you?

You think you're gonna take down

this entire city by yourself?

Oh, no, the city will

tear itself down...

in the fire of its own fear.

All I have to do is

light a match.

All you're gonna do is get

yourself killed.

Excellent.

You want to die?

If I die, when I die, I

will be a legend.

Well, if you want to die so

bad, there's a knife.

Why don't you use it.

Why don't I?

What the hell happened to you?

Look at yourself.

You gotta let me go.

He's gonna kill her.

Let you go?

You must really be

crazy after all.

Look around you, pal. Do you

see what's happening down here?

I can't help you anymore.

I can... I can stop him.

You need to tell me where he's hiding.

I will take care of this, okay?

No, you can't!

You go marching down there, and

she's gonna be dead.

This is my fight.

Okay, calm down.

Look, you're my best friend.

Please... don't let it

happen again.

I c... I can't let it

happen again.

Let me finish it.

Smitty, no! Come on, Smitty...

Ow.

Thank you.

Okay, you're right.

I am grateful.

I do want to hear your story.

Let me tell it.

I can tell it to the world.

The world will hear you, but

not if you kill me.

Let me help you. Trust me.

We can do this.

The time has finally come to take back

our world from you, our oppressors.

You have made slavery

legal again.

Tied us to the chains of

unemployment and desperation.

We had no choice...

but to fight.

Even now, the bought and

paid for police arm.

He's on his way to do the bidding

of his corporate masters.

We'll finally retake our

rightful place.

You talk too much.

Are you okay?

Great, you?

Yeah, I'm a little

bit better now.

Jake!

Jake!

That badge means

nothing down here.

Such spirit.

Too bad.

Kill him.

Don't you even think

about moving.

Don't even think about it,

sweetie.

That's enough now.

It's over.

You have no power here anymore.

It's over.

She died looking into my eyes...

screaming like the

animal she was.

My face is what she brought

with her to her eternal hell.

She belongs to me now.

No!

Do it! This is why I freed you.

Do it! Do it!

Jake, don't! This is

what he wants.

This is your moment. Do it!

Jake, listen to me.

Put it down.

Come on, please! Do it!

Oh, no, don't do it, Jake.

Don't do it.

Do it!

Put it down, Jake. Now!

Do it! Do it!

Jake, put it down.

Do it.

Jake!

You have the right... to

remain silent.

Careful, he's still armed.

Lets go. Let's go. Up.

Hands behind your back,

please. Just like that.

Let's go. Got him?

Let's go.

How are the kids?

Good, Jake, we miss you

at shortstop.

Yeah, I bet you do.

New guy can't field a backhand

to save his life.

Hey, that's okay,

neither can you.

How are you holding up?

I'll live. How's Flash?

They got to him in time and

they said it would be fine.

So, am I gonna see you

on the outside?

I don't know, maybe you can,

uh, be my one phone call.

That's great, I'll look

forward to that.

Sorry to interrupt.

I think I found something that

you might want back.

So what do you say?

You ready to come home?
