Day of Reckoning Page #4

in here, right?

No one's done anything to you.

I'm starting to feel like I'm...

I'm not really

welcome here anymore.

Yeah, okay, think about it.

What are you gonna do?

You gonna shoot us?

Start piling up carcasses

in here?

You don't think

they're gonna smell that?

I'll do whatever I gotta do.

I survived the last one, okay?

I can survive the next one.

Yeah.

Ty!

Oh, all right.

Nice try.

Nice try, really.

Ain't gonna be

no heroes today, okay?

- Now...

- Quiet!

- Listen.

- What?

I'm not hearing anything, right?

I mean, where did they go?

It's too quiet.

Stella!

Well, it works on vampires.

Oww...

It's gonna be all right, baby.

Dad!

All right, get down, get down.

Tyler, get over here

and tie him up.

Tie his hands.

Ow! Oh, god.

- Laura, find where it came in.

- Oh, my god.

She needs medical attention now.

Stella, look at me, honey.

You're gonna be okay, okay?

We don't have much time.

Stella, honey,

look at me if you can, okay?

I'm right here, okay?

Sorry, guys, we gotta

wrap 'er up, we gotta go.

We're not leaving, damn it.

I can't help her out there.

- It's okay, Stella.

- I'm okay, I'm okay.

I can do it.

I can do it.

Okay.

We won't last two minutes

when they get in here.

Those doors will hold.

Not for eight hours.

We're running out of time.

There's a back tunnel,

leads to the canyon

on the north side.

Good cover. You go.

Y'all just gonna leave me here?

Ted, you know

what's happening to me.

You can't stay here, baby.

I got a vehicle.

I hid it in the valley

about two miles away.

I didn't tell Ted 'cause

I didn't think he'd let me in

if he knew I had a ride.

- Another goddamn lie!

- For survival, Ted!

It's called

the day of reckoning,

not the day of let's all

just be best friends.

It's got a full tank of gas.

I can get you

a long way from here.

And go where?

The gate.

The gate's about...

- It's only 12 miles away.

- The gate?

That's your idea?

The gate?

That's where

these monsters came from.

They're not there anymore.

It's a secure facility,

and they got safe rooms

for personnel,

but I can get you all in.

All of y'all.

You got a better idea?

Why didn't you

mention this before?

I got cut off.

I told you that!

They'll have

medical attention there.

All right.

Let's go.

You get us to your facility

in one piece,

maybe we'll forget

about tonight.

Right? Hmm?

I'll get you there.

Whoa!

Shotgun.

I call it.

Rock salt rounds.

Grenade launcher.

Street sweeper.

Hey.

You never know.

I'm good.

It's time.

How much further, friend?

I'd say it's about

a couple clicks.

That's military speak

for a kilometer.

Yes, smart ass,

I know what that is.

Just keep on point.

Ohh!

- I'm fine.

- You're okay.

I could help y'all carry stuff

if I wasn't tied up, you know?

You don't need your hands

to walk, corporal.

Keep moving.

Think we can trust him?

Yeah, for now,

as long as we're all at risk.

You know...

I just...

What? I didn't say anything.

It's just your timing.

As always, it's...

Well, not everything revolves

around your schedule.

Are you guys seriously

gonna do this right now?

We should be in that shelter

right now with everyone else.

Not out here, like last time.

- This isn't like last time.

- Why?

- 'Cause you're actually here?

- Mom.

Sorry, buddy.

- Tyler...

- It's dead.

- Doesn't matter. Stand back.

- Don't touch it!

Get back over here.

Looks like it's in pain.

Like it's screaming

or something.

It'd be a really cool Instagram.

Come on, get your stuff.

Let's go.

Maddie!

Sorry, I'm coming.

Help me, Tyler!

- Tyler!

- Maddie, Maddie, Maddie!

Come here! Come here!

Maddie, no!

No! No, no, no.

Let's go.

Go, go, go, go!

David, I can help.

Come on, let's go.

You gotta be kidding me.

Shh, shh, shh.

What was that?

What?

Jinn.

I set that kill switch.

- Start the car.

- Come on!

Start the car.

I forgot I hit the kill switch.

Stella! No!

Stella, please!

Stella, please!

Stella!

Stella! No!

Give me the gun.

No, Stella, no.

Don't do that, Stella.

Stella, don't do that.

Don't.

Don't, Stella, no.

Don't you dare!

Give me the gun, Stella.

Give me the gun, Stella!

No!

No! Give me the gun.

Stella, please, give me the gun.

Give me the gun, baby.

Give me the gun, honey.

Give it, give it to me!

Come here, Stella.

Stella, come to me.

Ted, that's enough.

No! Come here!

Stella! Stella! Come here!

That's enough.

We gotta go.

They're coming.

Come on, get in! Go, go!

Now! Go! Go!

We gotta go!

- We gotta go!

- Stella!

Drive!

Stella!

Stella!

Stella!

- Come on, go!

- No!

Drive now!

Now there's been

no break in the attacks so far.

The whole area was under siege

throughout the night.

Evacuation centers did not hold,

and Topanga shelter

was leveled during the attack.

Our early reports indicate that

there has been mass destruction

of multiple safety zones

in that area.

Unit five-four-niner to base.

I'm carrying

wounded civilians. Over.

This is five-four-niner.

Do you read? Over.

Anybody there?

Why would they have

the door open?

I don't know.

Let's go see.

Do you mind?

I thought you said

someone would be here.

There should be,

unless something went wrong.

Where is everyone?

I don't know what happened.

Maybe they're all in safe rooms.

Where are those?

Lower level.

Basement.

Ted.

Your back.

What the hell?

It's nothing.

Do you guys got a hospital here?

Not at this end,

but there's a supply room...

Downstairs.

All right, corporal.

Down we go.

We gotta get this power back on,

so we can actually

get into the safe rooms.

Get me to the machine room.

I can do it.

It's up here on the left.

I'll show you.

And medical's

all the way down the hall.

Come on, Maddie.

Hey, go with them.

I'll, uh...

I'll catch up

after I get this knocked out.

Are you ready, sweetheart?

They've been fracking

this hole for years,

flooding it with saltwater

as a defense measure.

They even pulled a mountain

of salt from the local flats,

but the hole's too deep.

They kept us on standby

in case it ever happened again.

Oh, great.

Laura, will you grab that?

Careful.

Careful, careful.

How does it look?

- Hey.

- Not too bad.

Whoa.

Go, dad.

- You're pretty handy.

- Let's go find those guys.

Get down to a safe room.

They're inside.

Go, go, go, go.

It's gonna sting

just a little bit, okay?

Where is he?

We should hurry it up.

You see him?

Hey.

They're inside the facility.

We need to get somewhere secure.

We only have two hours left.

That can be a long time.

There's a storage room

where we first come in.

Volatile chemicals,

so the doors are blast proof.

Good. Let's go.

How's he doing?

David! Gun!

- Hey! What the hell?

- Hey!

I'm sorry.

Come on, come on, let's go.

Okay.

Go, go, go.

Come on, come on.

We good?

- We good?

- Yeah.

What are we gonna do?

- Water pipes?

- These are the dispersal lines,

so the circulation tank must be

on the other side of this wall.
