No New Kinda Story: The Real Story of Tooth & Nail Records Page #3

---

They were too strong.

The funny thing is,

they only ever took one at a time.

Why?

I don't know.

I think it was because

dead bodies rot faster.

They were keeping us alive for fresh meat.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

You wanna know what the worst part was?

It wasn't watching

my family and friends die,

seeing them slaughtered in front of us.

It was the waiting.

Waiting for dark.

They always come at night.

Well, I'm not ready to die.

It's starting to get dark.

We should split up.

Good luck.

You, too.

You promise you'll protect me?

Yeah, baby.

It's time to go.

Maybe we can just hide.

No. We're gonna go out

the back of the hospital.

We can sneak out.

No one will even see us.

Okay. What about the others?

F*** the others!

Every man for himself.

Come on.

Let's hide here, okay?

What's the matter?

We can do this the easy way,

or we can do it the hard way.

I don't really care which way.

But by sunrise,

I'm gonna be gnawing on your bones!

Help me!

Help me!

Well, well.

Are we really gonna leave them?

Yes.

You're being such an a**hole.

They would do the exact

same thing to us.

Okay, maybe they would,

but I wouldn't.

Fine.

Oh, God!

God!

Catch you later...

pretty thing.

They're leaving.

You see anybody else?

They got Max.

Is he, uh--

I don't know, I couldn't tell.

He wasn't moving.

You guys, it's Ford!

He's been attacked!

Hurry!

That should help with the pain.

How is he?

Well, uh, I'm not a doctor,

but, um...

he's got some holes in his stomach,

and he's lost a lot of blood.

Is he gonna live?

I don't know.

Um, the stomach is one thing, um...

but his leg...

is...

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, my God.

I, uh-- I think that's it's broke in two.

Well, can you fix it?

Fix it?

No.

No, I can't fix it.

I wouldn't even know where to start.

We need a doctor.

We need a doctor.

I don't think he's gonna make it.

We don't have a doctor.

So can you just--

Can you do anything?

Can you help him at all, Dakota?

Just-- Just do something.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I'll, um--

I'll do the best that I can.

Okay?

How's he doing?

I pushed the bone back in.

I had to cut a piece of it out.

It's, uh...

Are you okay?

I'm exhausted.

I'm going to go to bed.

Are you scared?

Me, too.

But...

I promise you that I'm not gonna

let anyone hurt you.

Okay?

You trust me?

Hush, little baby, don't say a word

Mama's gonna buy you

a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird don't sing

Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass

Mama's gonna buy you

a looking glass

And if that looking glass

gets broke

Mama's gonna buy you

a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down

You'll still be the sweetest

little baby in town

It's Ford.

He's hurting pretty bad.

I think he needs another shot.

Okay.

How is he?

Well, he's not feeling any pain.

I gave him three shots.

Three? Isn't that too much?

Isn't that gonna hurt him?

How am I supposed to know?

I'm sorry.

So what's your plan?

Plan?

Yeah. What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

I'm sorry. What do you mean

you don't know?

I mean I don't have a plan yet.

Well, you need to come up with one.

We can't fight them.

There's too many of them.

We can't run.

Ford's running days are over.

Well, I would just really like to know

what brilliant idea you

are gonna come up with next.

Run and hide?

Is that the best thing

you can come up with?

Do you have a better one?

No, but I would just like a plan

that does not involve

one of us getting killed.

Why don't you try being leader?

See how easy it is.

No, thank you. I do not

want to be the leader.

I am already the doctor.

I just don't want to die.

You think I want to die?

Look, we're in this together.

We'll come up with something.

Yeah.

You better make it fast.

Because in five days,

we're all gonna be dead.

- You're awake.

- Yeah.

How are you feeling?

Just dandy.

It looks better, right?

Yeah.

See?

You'll be better in no time.

Guys, we have three hours

till it gets dark.

I don't know. I say we separate out.

We try to find places

to hide in the hospital.

No.

No.

We are not gonna split up this time.

Okay, that's good. Now what?

We barricade the doors,

flip over the tables to hide behind,

and then we shoot every one of those

f***ers that walks in here.

You know we can't kill them all.

Maybe not, but I'm not

gonna go easy.

None of us are.

If they want dinner,

they're gonna have to pay for it.

Are you with me?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Torino, go get the rest

of the needles for Ford.

Bring a rifle.

Take Nova, too.

You got a problem with this?

Are you the leader now?

I guess so.

- Shouldn't we vote?

- No.

You stopped being the leader

the minute you stopped

caring about whether we live or die.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means, Neon, that you have been zero help

since this all started,

and I don't know what your problem is.

But it really seems like you don't give a sh*t

whether we make it or not.

You know what? You're right.

What's going on?

You haven't figured it out yet?

And I took you for bright.

Figured what out?

Okay, I'll spell it out for you.

I'm one of them.

One of them?

You're a Rover?

Just think of me

as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

And that makes you

the lambs led to slaughter.

Why?

I'd love to say there was some

higher purpose here,

but frankly, it comes down to food.

You can't do this.

People don't eat other people.

We do.

Do you have an ounce

of humanity left?

This is survival of the fittest, sweetie.

We helped you.

Yeah. You're weak.

We saw you coming.

We preyed on your weak nature.

You deserve whatever fate you get.

What's going on?

We're having a discussion.

About what?

- Dinner.

- Run!

Now get up.

Come on. You're coming with me.

That's it.

So everything you told us was a lie?

That whole story

about your family?

No. Actually, most of it was true.

That's how I met the Rovers.

They were brutes.

Inefficient, unorganized,

desperate for leadership.

They needed me.

So I sold out my family.

You sold out

your own flesh and blood?

I ate them, too.

You're disgusting.

If you want to survive, Dakota,

it's best to be on the winning team.

I'm gonna kill you.

Not if I eat you first.

Move.

Hey!

We'll go back for the rest tonight.

Leave her for last.

Okay, let's go.

Lobo, look after her.

I feel so cold.

Just hang in there.

Hang in there.

What is it? Is someone coming?

Is it help?

Okay. Baby, you're gonna

have to run and hide.

Baby!

Baby?

Torino!

Baby.

Nova, listen to me. You have to go.

God damn it, listen.

You need to find some place to hide you.

Do you have a place,

some place good?

Good. Now go there.

No matter what happens,

you don't come out.

You're gonna be okay. Just go.

Hey.

How did you do this?

Followed you here.

We have to hurry.

Why?

We have to get back to the hospital

before they do.

- No we don't.

- Nova is still in there.

We're not gonna be able to help her.
