Lynn glances down at her thigh to see blood spreading through her jeans.
Unfamiliar voice
I got her!
Brad
Come on team. She couldn’t have gone far.
Gritting her teeth, Lynn drags herself over to the edge of a ravine.
She rolls down the incline until she hits the bottom.
Fresh pain blasts through her.
Fighting to maintain consciousness, Lynn shifts her body under a small rock ledge.
Unfamiliar voice
I think she went this way.
Leaves and twigs crackle as footsteps fade into the distance.
Lynn lets out a long, uneasy breath as her phone vibrates.
Lynn
If you think I'm going to tell you where I am, asshole...
Nate
Aw, come on, that's no way to treat someone you called the life of the party a few hours ago.
Lynn frowns at the screen.
Brad
Yeah, I'm using Nate's phone.
Brad
He's indisposed. Got a little too emotional, so I’m taking charge.
Brad
Now be a good girl. Tell me where you are.
Brad
We will find you eventually, you know.
Brad
If you tell us where you are, we'll make your death quick.
Brad
Or you can sit and wait while you bleed out.
Brad
I know we hit you already. You probably can't even walk.
Brad
Come on. Let us put an end to your suffering.
Thank God! The bullet only grazed her skin.
Lynn
Screw you. Leave me alone.
Brad
Can't do that, honey.
Lynn hears footsteps on the forest floor.
She jerks her gaze up from her phone. She’s too exposed.
Gritting her teeth, she puts the phone away and tears off a piece of her sleeve.
She makes a sloppy tourniquet on her leg and pulls herself into a standing position.
Grimacing in pain, she searches for another hiding spot.
After an hour, she receives a text from Drake...
Drake
I'm here. Where are you??
Lynn
Hiding by this creepy looking tree.
Lynn
What the hell took you so long?
Drake
I ran into some red tape with the local cops.
Drake
At the cabin by the lake with law enforcement.
Drake
They’re fanning out around the lake, looking for you.
Lynn
I'm nowhere near the cabin.
Drake
Are you by the lake? If you could get yourself there, we might be able to see you.
Lynn
Yeah, you and those assholes with the guns. I’d be a sitting duck.
Lynn
They shot me, Drake.
Drake
Where? How bad is it?
Lynn
In the leg. It just grazed the surface, but it hurts like hell.
Lynn
I'm bleeding all over the place.
Drake
Shit. Where are you? I'm coming to get you.
Lynn
Don't be stupid. You can't get to me without those assholes finding you.
Drake
It's a risk I'm willing to take.
Lynn
No! Stop the macho crap, Drake. I can’t lose you. Not after…
Drake
Lynn, if you stay where you are, you'll get killed.
Drake
You have to keep moving.
Lynn
I can't! Didn't you listen to me? They shot me in the leg!
Lynn
When I stand, I feel like I’m going to pass out. I literally see spots.
Drake
If you can get yourself to the edge of the lake, then we can spot you and get to you.
Lynn
What about those people shooting at me?
Drake
Don’t worry about them. There are people tracking them down.
Drake
You need to get to safety. That’s the top priority.
Drake
In fact, that should be your ONLY priority.
Lynn
What can I do? They’re all around me.
Drake
Hold on. Getting instructions.
Drake
Okay. There's a fallen tree on the other side of the lake.
Drake
Looks like it was hit by lightning or something.
Drake
Get to that tree. We’ll be waiting there to keep you safe.
Lynn tries to stand again, but she collapses.
Lynn
I don't think I can, Drake.
Lynn
I used up the last of my energy getting to this hiding spot. You'll have to come to me.
Drake
No! You can do this, Lynn.
Drake
You're strong. And you’re fast.
Drake
Remember that time when you outran me and the rest of the guys?
Drake
People still talk about it, you know. You broke records.
Lynn
Yeah, but I had two good legs back then.
Drake
You were always the best at everything. Top of the class.
Lynn
A lot of good that does me now.
Drake
It does. Because you need strength of mind to get through a situation like this, and you have it.
Drake
So come on – mind over matter.
Lynn
Haha, easy for you to say.
Drake
I’ll take your laughter as a good sign.
Drake
You can do this. Just get yourself to that tree and everything will be over.
Lynn jerks back in surprise as she hears a gunshot ring through the air.
Lynn
Did you hear that? It sounded close. Too close.
Lynn
I think they found me, Drake.
Drake
Then you have to run, Lynn. It's your only chance.
Drake
Run Lynn. Do you hear me? RUN!
