Littlefield - Part 8
by EJ Leonard
JARED WHAT THE FUCK
I know, I KNOW
You STOLE the Henning’s car!!
I KNOW!
WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT!?
Remember that drug supplier looking for Sarah that was at my house?
Yeah
He has my Mom, and is threatening to shoot her if I don’t lead him to Sarah
Oh my god...
I know. I shouldn’t have ever fucking left that house
So I don’t understand, you don’t have the money
I know, but I told him where I think Sarah is...
That Barn??
Yeah, I’m meeting him at Burger King right now
I’ll tell my Dad, he can send the cops over
NO COPS!
WHY??
He said he’d shoot my Mom, that’s why. So no cops.
He already knew we were with them
So what do we do now??
I don’t know. He’s got my Mom in the car.
I’m hoping to get him to leave her in the car, and we’ll just go over
He probably will want to keep her hostage until you find Sarah
I know…
What if the barn place is crawling with those sick people??
They said they are starting to filter in
I’m going to have to take that chance
What if she’s not there??
I don’t know.
We have to find a way to get you safe
I don’t know if that’s going to happen.
I’m going to have to scope out the place first when we get to it.
Where are you
We’re all on the way to the police station
So they aren’t sending the cops after me to look for their car
They called it in, but I don’t think they’ll do anything.
I heard them radio that things are getting worse...
and they’re trying to figure out an emergency way out of here to somewhere else
To your knowledge, is Mr. Henning a man who has guns?
I don’t think so. Maybe check the trunk??
I don’t know what to do about Corinne.
I don’t think they are sending anyone to help her
Well, I obviously can’t do much about that right now
I’m not asking you to
Maybe you should talk to your Dad about her.
I did, and he said that he’d see someone was on it, but I don’t know…
I feel weird about it.
Nothing but a tire iron here in the trunk.
Might be useful.
I just tucked it under my hoodie in the back
Oh my God, have you listened to the radio??
No
They’re declaring the state emergency. Everyone is supposed to stay indoors.
But you said they might be setting up buses for people to leave…
I’m wondering if that’s for everybody and not just select people
Well you make sure there are two spots for me and my Mom
Ok
PROMISE ME
I promise
He’s pulling in.
Is your Mom in the car??
Yeah. He wants me to get in.
Makes sense, since you’re in the stolen vehicle.
Well, best case scenario, we find Sarah…worse case, you know...
my Mom gets murdered
Are you certain about the cops?
I’ll tell you when to send them
What am I supposed to do
Keep your phone near you
an hour later
Jared, I just asked what it’s like in the area of town you’re going to
They said it’s almost covered with them
Are you there??
What’s happening??
I knocked him out
What!?
The tire iron!
We turned the corner to get to The Barn, and there were about 40 of those eaters around
He freaked out, and I hit him, then I pushed him outside
What!?
He’s been taken care of
Does that mean what I think it means?
Yeah…I didn’t watch.
Wait, so what are you doing now then??
I don’t know, they’re surrounding the car, my Mom is like catatonic
I’ll tell my Dad to send people
I don’t know if they’ll come.
There’s an empty cop car up front...
and one of them walking around this car is dressed up in uniform
WHAT, OH MY GOD
I want to see if I can get inside to see if Sarah’s here
I think we’re going to have to drive through the gate to get inside.
Nobody is manning it to let us in.
What’s going on with the buses??
It’s fucked up, Jared
What is…
They are only going to pick up people at certain houses. Not everyone
WHAT!?
Are me and my mother on that list??
I haven’t seen the list, but I don’t think so.
Where are they taking people??
...a place called St. Rhiannon.
I FUCKING TOLD YOU NORA IS THE REAL DEAL!!!
It’s some sort of compound in New Hampshire.
I think it’s a code word for what the place actually is
Listen, if you don’t get here first, I’ll just tell you the directions...
and you can drive up to where it is and meet us
Okay. I’m driving through the gate right now.
Maybe if I have Sarah, they’ll make a spot for us
Maybe
Okay, here we go!
WAIT!
If you drive through, won’t you let all those people into the barn with you??
They aren’t people, and I don’t know...
I can’t leave my Mom in the car…I have Luke’s gun now.
I’m going
Okay.
J, did you find her???
J???
