They Look Like People Page #4

do anything like that

to a friend of mine ever again,

I'm gonna f***ing kill you.

I'm gonna f***ing kill you.

You probably should.

Hi.

Don't be scared.

Touch me, and I will rip

your face out of your spine.

I just wanted to say...

What? Sorry for taking

you to a rapey basement?

No, no, no. It's not what

you thought.

-Christian's a really good guy.

-Let me guess.

You two are really

super nice guys,

and you're just going

through some stuff right now.

It's not Christian's fault.

I've been messing up his life,

and it's not his fault.

It's his fault for

having a friend like you.

And tell him that it wasn't

a seven, it was a three.

Mara, wait.

God damn it.

I'm sorry.

Please don't die.

Do you need

to call an ambulance?

Can you tell?

Come on.

Okay, come on.

It's freezing.

My nose.

No.

So, it's like some sort

of anti-zombie bunker.

-I get it.

-Really?

No.

Pack your bags.

Let's get out of the city.

I got a car.

We'll go up to some

cabin somewhere,

maybe up north

by a lake.

What about your appointment?

I called. It's...

I'm down for next week.

They just told me

to avoid alcohol.

-What are you doing?

-Signing up for the army.

-Nice.

-Yeah.

I kinda figured if anyone

ever put a gun in my face,

I'd probably just piss

myself and start crying.

I'd like to change

that permanently.

Yeah, why don't you think

about what a little?

F*** you.

Come on.

It'll be great.

Be careful.

You're seeing him again,

aren't you?

No, man.

No weapons. See?

I'm not killing anyone.

No worries.

Tell me what to do

to help fight him.

I don't believe

what you believe,

but I know

you believe it.

So just be honest

with me,

and you have to promise me

not to kill anyone, okay?

-Don't mess with me.

-I'm not.

There's a battle

happening...

Tonight.

At 6:
00,

gives us 40 minutes.

Let's do this noise.

-Grab your clothes.

-Okay.

Grab your,

grab your boots.

-Grab weapons.

-Yeah. Pack for the apocalypse,

got it.

-We got it.

-We gotta...

I'm excited.

Where are we going?

To parents' place

in north Carolina.

It starts in the city,

so we have to get out,

and meet them,

and we have to protect them.

They don't live

down there anymore.

Mom's in Canada.

You got the keys?

Hey, Wyatt,

where'd you get this car?

-Get back inside.

-Why?

Because it's starting early.

Give me your cell phone.

We can be safe

down here.

We just have to keep our heads, and

be ready for them if they find us.

-I blacked out the windows.

-Tell me what you saw.

What made you sure

this time?

I would love

to explain everything,

but we don't have time.

Hey. Tell me.

I went to go see

Mara for you.

They got to her.

She turned

into an alien?

Mara was good,

but it's like an infection

that comes in through

your eyes or your ears.

And then goes

to your brain.

It's not peoples' fault.

What'd you see?

What'd you see?

Her face started twisting, and then

her smile started spreading out

farther than

a smile's supposed to,

all the way

past her ears.

And then her head

split in two,

and there was

this thing there.

You know what I thought?

That we're all alone.

You hurt her?

I made it back

and found you.

When's this thing start?

Six minutes.

Let's sing a song.

Christian.

Stop, please.

Can you take off

the mask?

You want me to be honest?

You think I'm one of them.

-Tie me up.

-Why would you want me...

Because, yes, it's really

scary to trust you right now,

but that's what this is,

so, trust me

because I trust you.

Okay.

Christian, they take over

your mind with their eyes,

and maybe their voice.

How much longer?

Four minutes.

Go for it.

Open wide.

You okay?

Sorry.

It's okay.

Please, stop.

Wyatt?

Wyatt?

Sulfuric acid.

Trust no one.

Even before

you were one of the blessed,

you could sense them.

You knew

they were out there.

Suddenly,

they were right next to you.

That is not a soldier,

with a gun.

That is evil.

That is not

your co-worker.

That is a demon.

That is not a human,

not a neighbor,

not a friend,

not a lover.

A brother, mother,

a father, a wife.

That is a monster.

That is your enemy.

And that is what

you must be ready to destroy.

Well, I didn't piss

myself after all.

Hey, it occurred to me

that we never hugged.
