It’s Jared. Where are you??
Corrine
OMG are you okay?? Helena is worried about you.
Corrine
Are you still at the barn? Did you find my sister??
Jared
First things first, did Nora come get you?
Corrine
Yes, I’m in the car with her right now. She’s in the backseat. She’s been bit.
Corrine
Bad. She told me to leave her, but I refused to.
Corrine
I just pulled over to find directions to the Bay Hospital...
Corrine
but I don’t know how I’m going to get there...
Corrine
since a highway is involved and this is the first time I’ve driven
Corrine
Nobody is picking up...
Jared
Just tell me where you are right now and we can go in my car
Corrine
I’m on the side of the road near Bo’s Diner.
Corrine
So did you find Sarah?? Is she okay?? If she’d dead, tell me.
Corrine
Please. I need to know
Jared
Hey, it’s Sarah : )
Jared
Sorry I can't pick up the phone. We have to text.
Jared
Jared’s phone is losing juice
Corrine
OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY??
Corrine
It’s been so horrible! I thought you were dead!!
Jared
I almost was, then Jared saved my ass.
Corrine
You have to know, I tried to come save you. I didn’t want to give up
Jared
I know. You tried on your bicycle. Which is charming, and stupid.
Jared
You could’ve gotten yourself killed
Corrine
WHAT HAPPENED?? Who took you??
Jared
I was walking through the woods and I saw this dead guy, who came back to life...
Jared
and a whole bunch of others like him started chasing me.
Jared
Some government guy named Dan came and shot them all.
Jared
He took my phone, and took me with him back to this facility.
Jared
They were hoping they’d be able to keep these things under control...
Jared
and didn’t want anyone who knew about them to talk about it and spread panic
Corrine
The fucking government took you AND WOULD JUST LET US BELIEVE YOU WERE DEAD!?
Corrine
Did they tell you anything about these things?
Jared
Some guy at the Center for Disease Control apparently broke some sort of vial in a lab
Jared
The guy didn’t know, but the dude left the lab after being contaminated with it...
Jared
and then it spread like wildfire and started a chain reaction up to us
Corrine
So they were just going to fucking leave you at this barn??
Jared
They promised us that they were going to take us to this safe haven when things got bad...
Jared
but they didn’t come back for us.
Jared
Then Jared showed up.
Corrine
Were there others??
Jared
We have this guy Doug with us. The others tried to run. They’re probably all dead.
Jared
Can you text Mom and Dad I’m okay? I don’t have their numbers memorized
Corrine
The police took their phones.
Corrine
Apparently because they had no idea what was going on and didn’t want them to hear about it
Jared
Kind of hard to keep it a secret now
Jared
Fuck, there’s been a change of plans
Jared
Hey, it’s Jared again. Listen, Helena just got in touch with me.
Jared
She said they’re loading up the buses to leave, did she tell you about the buses?
Jared
You’re closer to the station than we are to you.
Jared
So just drive there, and we’ll meet you
Corrine
But what about Nora?? We just let her die??
Jared
No, but if we don’t get on these buses I feel like we’re fucked.
Jared
Since they’re being so goddamn selective about who leaves...
Jared
I’m sure doctors will be on these buses, if not there, then St. Rhiannon
Corrine
How do I get there??
Jared
Just go down Lafayette for seven blocks, then make a right.
Jared
It will be halfway down the road. It’s really easy.
Jared
Just text us when you’re there.
Jared
Did you get there yet?
Corrine
You guys, are you sure the station is where I needed to be??
Jared
Yes. They were all showing up at the police station, why?
Corrine
There aren’t any buses here.
