Emma, it’s me, Ada.
Unknown
and obviously I’m alive so please don’t fucking ask.
Emma
Jesus… U sound pissed...
Unknown
I don’t know what I am.
Emma
Now I’m getting pissed.
Emma
Would u please say something that makes sense?
Unknown
That I was just on a bus
Unknown
with a hundred people
Unknown
And that a parade of fucking zombies
Unknown
are now beating and eating those people to death.
Unknown
Still making sense to you?
Emma
3 days ago…maybe not so much…
Unknown
Good, then maybe you can tell me why the fuck I’m still alive.
Emma
They just left u alone?
Emma
U weren’t hiding somewhere?
Unknown
You’re using the wrong tense.
Unknown
This is happening now.
Unknown
I don’t exactly know how to describe this.
Emma
Describe what????!!!!
Unknown
They’re still coming.
Unknown
Thousands of them.
Unknown
The fucking ground is shaking as they stampede past me.
Unknown
Everyone else is dead.
Emma
They‘re just running by u?
Unknown
Not exactly ignoring…
Emma
Ur scaring me, bitch.
Emma
This is a joke, right?
Emma
U and Christian are fucking with me?
Unknown
Em, listen to me…
Unknown
I’m standing in the middle of I-10 with an army of blood soaked psychopaths...
Unknown
stampeding past and avoiding me like I have the god damned plague.
Unknown
AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY???
Emma
Remember the movie WWZ?
Emma
The zombies didn’t attack the sick people.
Unknown
Okay, A…spoiler alert.
Unknown
And B…I’ve never been sick a day in my life.
Emma
If what ur saying is really happening right now…
Emma
U need to get a grip and stop being so cavalier
Unknown
I don’t think so, Em.
Unknown
And I’m not being cavalier.
Unknown
and heartbroken by what I just saw.
Unknown
What is happening to me right now, is surreal beyond imagining.
Unknown
I am standing here in tears…
Unknown
surrounded by death…
Unknown
U had it right the first time…
Unknown
I’m fucking pissed.
Unknown
And I’m tired of being lied to…
Unknown
I’m tired of going back and forth…
Unknown
not knowing what or who to believe.
Emma
So make a stand, girl.
Emma
Hit one of those mother fuckers as they go by.
Emma
No offense, but why haven’t they killed u yet?
Unknown
But I’m guessing it has to do with why Christian’s dad wants me so badly.
Emma
Not that I blame him.
Emma
but guys dig ur purple eyes.
Unknown
Em, I’m in a situation here.
Emma
Shit..sry. I guess just stay still if that’s working so far.
Unknown
No, I’m gonna touch one.
Emma
U just said that would be crazy.
Unknown
This is all crazy.
Unknown
Holy god damn shit!
Unknown
I tried to touch one…
Unknown
and they all scattered.
Unknown
They’re trampling each other to get away from me.
Unknown
They’re not just avoiding me…
Unknown
they’re terrified of me.
Unknown
Wherever I move to…
Unknown
they go around me like I’m in a bubble.
Emma
And u think Christian’s dad knows why that’s happening?
Emma
Should I go find Christian?
Emma
He needs to know ur alive.
Unknown
The herd is thinning…
Unknown
I hear them out there in the darkness…
Unknown
But I can’t see them now.
Emma
ADA?! Should I warn Christian about his dad?
Unknown
He already knows.
Unknown
Don’t trust them, Em.
Unknown
Not Sgt Delaney and certainly not Christian.
Emma
Christian loves you, Ada.
Emma
I’m positive of that.
Unknown
I thought so too…
Unknown
He hasn’t told me the truth once in the last 48 hours.
Unknown
And somehow he knows exactly what my dad texted me yesterday.
Unknown
Earlier…when I thought this was the end…
Unknown
He wanted me to run but I wouldn’t…
Unknown
So he told me to grow up and stop whining…
Unknown
Exactly the words dad used when HE thought I was giving up.
Unknown
How could he know that?
Emma
The military probably has his phone.
Unknown
And they told Christian what he texted me?
Unknown
Why would they do that?
Emma
His dad could’ve told him.
Unknown
He claims G.I. Joe keeps him out of the loop…
Unknown
Yet, he knows things…
Unknown
like that the city of Houston was gonna be leveled.
Unknown
And that they were gonna blow up these bridges to keep the infected from following us.
Emma
I admit that’s kind of a stretch
Emma
for an eighteen year old son of an army sergeant.
Unknown
And he kept saying how important I am…
Unknown
Demanding to know why the military didn’t get me out of Houston.
Emma
U r important to him.
Unknown
He didn’t say, “to him.”
Unknown
he knows what’s different about me.
Unknown
Which means he’s been lying all along.
Unknown
And if he can do that to me without batting an eyelash…
Unknown
he’s not in love…
Unknown
He’s a sociopath…
Unknown
And he’s gonna bleed for his part in turning my life upside down.
Emma
I’m so confused right now.
Unknown
So was I…but not anymore.
Unknown
My dad didn’t do this.
Emma
Ur saying Christian did?
Unknown
But do you remember a while back…
Unknown
When Christian got on that kick about overpopulation and shit?
Emma
Yeah, he said certain humans were like a cancer on the planet.
Emma
That there were the pure bloods
Emma
and that the non-pure needed to quit taking ‘our’ space…
Emma
Wait…you think a couple rants about dwindling resources means…
Unknown
No. But that idea got in his head somehow.
Unknown
I think its Sgt. Delaney who wanted to wipe out the Middle East and China and Russia with this thing
Unknown
And maybe my mom found out about HIM.
Unknown
God, how I would love that to be true.
Emma
More believable than ur dad doing it.
Unknown
And Sgt. Delaney wants to use me to control my dad.
Unknown
To blackmail him.
Unknown
I’m holding it in my hand.
Emma
why r u texting me from another phone?
Unknown
Do u have any idea how hard it is to find an outlet during the apocalypse?
Emma
U need one of those solar chargers.
Emma
So whose phone r u using?
Unknown
Some asshole named Private Whitlock who Sgt Delaney had following me.
Unknown
Right out of his hand.
Unknown
Of course, his hand was thirty feet from his arm so…
Unknown
Listen…I’m gonna power down so they can’t track this phone.
Unknown
I’ll text u as soon as I charge mine.
Unknown
already back to what’s left of Houston to find a solar charger.
Unknown
Nope. And then I’m gonna get the guns I stashed…
Unknown
And start killing anything that gets between me and my father.
Unknown
Wherever that may be.
