The Remaining Page #3

people and an innocent baby?

He didn't.

He left their mortal bodies

behind and he took their souls.

That baby, he didn't get death.

He got eternal life. Bliss.

I was at home with my family

when they all were taken.

Then I heard the first trumpet.

- First trumpet?

- You didn't hear it?

I froze.

Knew instantly.

And all I could think

to do was come here.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Wasn't my loss. It was their gain.

Why weren't you taken?

Why wasn't I taken?

You know, just because you

have a church and a title

doesn't mean that you have real faith.

I had no relationship.

I just had comfort.

And that is how I failed.

All right, guys, come on, come on.

Circle up. Circle up.

All right, all of us. Come on.

- So how's Skylar?

- She's all right.

Ally and Dan are back there with her.

So what do you want to do?

Hole up here.

Hole up here? Hole up here until what?

We don't know what's going on out there.

So at least in here it

seems like we're safe.

So you just wanna sit in

here and see what happens?

Until we figure out a

better plan, Tommy.

Maybe we should move,

find another place.

To where?

Can't exactly move Skylar, can we?

Let me in! Let me in!

Help me! Help me!

My name's Tommy Covington.

If you are watching this,

then I'm probably dead.

It's been 10 hours since everything started,

and we made it to a church, found help.

If anything happens, Ally,

there's something I wanna...

I wanna say.

What are you doing?

I don't like people filming me.

Says the guy filming everyone.

So, what's so important

you need to tell Ally?

- It's complicated.

- Complicated.

Don't you think fire and ice falling

from the sky should uncomplicate things?

Yeah. Probably.

Then tell her what you wanted to say.

I'll show it to her

if something happens.

Allison, I...

When I met you seven years ago,

we just clicked.

Truth is,

I've loved you every day since.

And if it's not me,

I just want you to be happy.

I just want you to be happy.

Feel better?

Video footage has been streaming

in on a worldwide mysterious illness

that strikes without warning

and has caused millions of

fatalities in the past hour.

Oh, my God. Geez.

People are...

- Help!

- Say something.

This isn't right.

This isn't happening. What in...

Leading experts from around the globe

have been unable to determine

the cause of what is being labeled

"instant death syndrome. "

The syndrome strikes without warning

and has universally caused death

in children and infants worldwide

as well as random segments

of the adult population.

- Are you okay?

- The car's on fire.

Get the extinguisher!

- What's going on?

- We need help over here!

Give me a hand! She's hurt!

- Are you okay?

- She's not breathing.

Go get it, Max. Yeah.

Talk to me. Are you guys okay?

We will continue to upload

videos as the story progresses

and we'll bring you breaking updates

as soon as we have them.

I'm so sorry about how

I left the reception.

It's okay.

It seems pretty stupid now.

I'm sorry that I was

the reason you left.

You came looking for me.

That's all that matters.

So how long you been

going to this church?

About six months.

I don't know, it's not like an

every Sunday thing or anything.

How come you never told me?

I knew you'd laugh. Or roll your eyes.

Yeah, I probably would've.

Then.

Not anymore.

Surprise!

- Happy birthday!

- Happy birthday, Mom!

We got you.

Happy birthday!

I love you all so much,

and you're so wonderful.

So where are your parents?

Killed.

Taken. Whatever they're calling it.

Sorry.

I hope you don't mind crunchy.

You wanna add anaphylactic

shock to our day?

I'm allergic.

Note to self. Note to self.

So, why are you here?

You're obviously a good person.

I am a good person.

Just not a churchy good person.

- You never went? - I'm not really

a "sit in a pew" kind of girl.

Guess I blew that one.

Yeah, yeah, I guess I did, too.

Are you this comforting all the time?

No, no, just...

Just when the world's ending.

We have received several eyewitness

accounts of unusual weather patterns.

Reports and images from around the world

are both troubling and foreboding.

The National Weather Service

has issued storm warnings

and travel advisories

from coast to coast

in the wake of this

unprecedented devastation.

Federal, state and local officials

are asking all individuals

to stay indoors.

Stay in your homes for the time being.

Safety is of utmost importance

at this very unpredictable time.

We're safe, okay? We're almost...

I don't know what I was waiting for.

I think I was waiting for a sign,

some "eureka" moment to happen.

And all you gotta do is make a choice.

I love you.

I love you.

And I know

that I wanna marry you.

Guys. You gotta see this.

I was filming and I caught it on tape.

I didn't let go. I didn't let go!

She was right here!

- May I see what you're looking at?

- Yeah.

Revelations 9.

I didn't let go!

And the fifth angel sounded his

trumpet and opened the abyss.

The sun and sky were darkened

and locusts fell upon the earth.

Their hair was like women's hair,

their teeth were like lion's teeth,

and their wings made the sound

like the thundering of many

horses rushing into battle.

Look, you can see it when

I go frame to frame.

They were given stingers like that

of scorpions to torment people.

What is this thing?

One of the fallen.

And what do they want?

To torture. To destroy.

Can we fight them?

No.

This is the first season

of bad things to come.

What, the first?

It's only gonna get worse.

- It's not right.

- What's not right, baby?

How do you feel?

I've given you the last dose of Vicodin,

so your pain should come down

just a little bit. Okay, sweetie?

No. Don't touch that.

- Let me look. Just let me look.

- No, stop. It's burning.

- No, it's okay.

- Please, no, it's burning.

I gotta get up. Stop! I wanna get...

Get out of here.

- I gotta get out of here!

- Calm down. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Listen to me.

It's already getting infected, and I don't

have any antibiotics in here to help her.

Where do I get her the

medicine she needs?

My car. I have some sample

packets of amoxicillin,

but it's just too dangerous

to go out there.

- Give me the keys.

- It's not safe to go out there.

I'm going with you.

I'll go too.

We got this.

Let's go.

It's a green Chrysler minivan

blocked in on the Sixth Street side.

Just out of the parking lot.

- There's an SUV there, I think.

- Wait. You think?

I'm sorry. I got blocked in.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

We'll find it. It's okay.

Keys?

Thanks.

Listen. The sample packets of amoxicillin

are in a duffel bag at the back of my van.

Hey, you sure you don't want me to go?

No, we're good.

- You sure about this?

- Yeah.

You hear that?

You should get in the

church where it's safe.

- Here's the SUV.

- Here it is!

- Unlock it.

- Why isn't it opening?

Unlock it!
