Meet Me There Page #4

---

And, and...

Found this outside of the post office.

Some kind of ancient coin.

That's not a normal thing to find outside of a post

office, right?

You know...

People come here to die.

I don't know why.

Whether they've been here before or not...

They show up on my door step...

Or, they...

wander into the woods.

And...

It's my job...

to see them through.

So...

How are you gonna do it?

Um...

I'm sorry...

Do what?

Kill yourself.

It's alright.

It's okay.

It's nothing to be afraid of.

Something much bigger than you brought you

here, boy.

Here.

How about you go ahead and keep that?

Calvin, we need to go.

This place is so f***ing crazy.

He just asked me how I was gonna kill myself.

Hey!

Are y'all coming to service later?

Probably not.

Great! See you there!

This is the part where we say "f*** the plans" and

bail, right?

Yes...

I'm sorry. I am very sorry.

I don't know why we came here.

Let's just go by, say "goodbye" to your Aunt and go back to

Austin and forget any of this ever f***ing happened to us, okay?

That's fine.

That's awesome.

What the f***?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Aunt Lindsay, what the f***?!

You shouldn't talk to me like that!

Who cares how I f***ing talk to you.

You just tried to stab my boyfriend... and my car?

I thought he was you Uncle Davis.

Why is the car on fire?!

What did Davis do to you?

Nothing.

Hejust... He was just...

A little bit upset.

Doesn't like Calvin staying here. He saw Calvin...

Is he here now?

No, I don't know... He...

He left. He's out.

So, what... He just beats the sh*t out of you?

Is that how this works?

It was my fault.

She brought evil into our house.

This is bullshit. I'm calling someone and getting out

of here.

Mom?

Mom, hello?

It's me. I'm in Sheol.

I'm at Aunt Lindsay's, and...

Hello?

Mom, can you hear me?

Aunt Lindsay, I need to use your phone.

I don't have a phone.

What?

Why don't you have a phone?!

Everybody that I need to talk to...

Everyone that I'm supposed to talk to...

is already here.

Ada, we have got to go.

The car?

Seriously, we have to go now!

Davis... and Daddy...

I'm gonna find you two.

You can run, but you damn sure can't hide.

I know y'all are around here somewhere.

I heard you.

Ada?

You know it's not safe to be out in these woods.

I know I told your mama to tell you about that when

you were a little girl.

You know this is not the place to be.

Y'all come on out.

Come on now.

I just wanna talk!

What about your phone?

My phone's been dead since last night. I didn't even

think about it.

Ada, wait!

They probably have a phone!

They don't have a phone.

No on here has a phone.

Alright?

We are in f***ing Hell.

Okay?

They have to place orders and things.

If anyone has a phone, they have a phone.

They pulled a gun on me last time I was in there for

no reason.

Just for showing up.

What, seriously?!

Yes, I...

I didn't want to tell you last night because you were

already upset...

about the sex thing.

So...

Why wouldn't you tell me that?!

Look, I'm just going to...

Go buy us some waters, make a phone call...

And come right back. You can stay here.

Here.

Calvin..

The only way I'm letting you go in that gas station...

Is if you take this with you.

Excuse me...

Can I help you with something?

Oh, I was just going to get a water-

I know what you're doing!

I know what you're doing in here!

You want to bring this evil into my store!

Ada!

Get the f*** off of her!

Are you okay?

F***, sh*t!

Get the f*** out of the way!

Are you okay?

This is so f***ed. I just stabbed somebody!

Yeah, well...

You're gonna have to stab somebody else...

if these a**holes don't stop f***ing following us!

Sh*t.

Ada...

Ada, we have to go back to the church.

If I just close my eyes...

And open them again, I will be home and all of this

will be gone.

It's the only place in this town where somebody

hasn't tried to kill us, okay?

Just far away.

Or, maybe he did try to kill us?

I don't know... But I know those people...

will not kill us inside the church.

Okay?

It didn't work.

If we stay out here, we are going to die.

If we stay in these woods, we are going to die.

It didn't work.

It didn't work.

It never does.

Do you remember which way the church is?

If the gas station is over there...

Then, the church should be...

F***.

Meet me there.

Meet me there.

Where the Tree of Life is blooming, meet me there.

When the storms of life are over.

On the happy golden shore.

Where the faithful part no more, meet me there.

Here are fondest hopes are vain.

Dearest links are rent and twain.

But, in Heaven no throb of pain, meet me there.

By the river sparkling bright.

In the city of delight.

Where our faith is lost in sight, meet me there.

Hello?!

Woodward!

Woodward!

Hello?

Anyone?!

Fellowship hall?

Woodward?

Ada, I don't think this is the...

I don't think this is the fellowship hall!

What's going on in here?

Y'all okay?

Y'all can't stay here.

You're not gonna be any safer. You're only putting

me in danger.

Where are we supposed to go?

No one has a phone. We're a hundred miles from

anywhere.

Preacher Woodard...

Earlier, we saw your daughter in the graveyard...

Is she okay?

Everybody here makes sacrifices for their safety.

What are we supposed to do?

I'll tell you what you're supposed to do, you're here

to die!

The only way to live is to escape.

Or, to stay here... and leave.

I don't know what you do here...

but it has nothing to do with us.

Please.

I can show you a way out.

But, it's a long walk through them woods.

But, you...

can never come back here, ever!

Not to this world.

Thank you.

Where are we going?

Well, Calvin, see that creek up there?

We're gonna come to this creek...

You gotta be quiet.

This is as far as I can take you.

Once we get to this creek...

Listen to me.

Very important.

You keep walking through them woods...

About a mile or two.

You're gonna come to a road.

And, whatever you do...

Make sure you look for somebody headed west.

Not east.

And hope they stop, and that they're kind.

How do you know this path?

Well, Ada, we baptize folks down here in the creek.

Most times they come back with.

Other times...

The Lord just... takes them away.

Takes them away?

Yeah.

In one way or another.

I don't remember being baptized.

Well...

If you were...

It was here.

I don't think I was.

I've had enough of this sh*t!

Stop!

Stay, Calvin!

No!

Get off of her!

In the name of The Father...

The Son...

And the Holy Spirit...

Stop now!

Get the f*** off of her!

How far did he say the road is gonna be?

Like a mile or two?

But...

Why should we believe anything he said?

Shhhh!

Where the f*** have we been walking?

Ada...

The town is that way.

So, if we go this way...

To our left, we will be out of here.

Does that make sense to you?

Ada, does that make sense?

I don't know where the f*** I am!

Ada!

F*** it, come on!

Come on!
