Corrine
Helena, are you there??
Corrine
NOBODY HAS COME FOR ME YET!!
Corrine
HELENA?? ARE YOU THERE??
Helena
I’m here, I’m here...
Corrine
It’s been three hours. I don’t know what to do.
Corrine
I can’t leave the building. It’s surrounded.
Corrine
I can’t fucking stay calm!
Helena
Listen, my Dad is in an emergency town meeting.
Helena
As soon as he gets out, we’re coming to get you.
Corrine
You can’t talk to anyone else before that??
Helena
Nobody is taking questions from me.
Helena
I’ve been trying C, you have to believe me
Corrine
Where are you?? Where are my parents?? Why aren’t they answering my texts??
Helena
We’re at the station.
Helena
They took your parents’ cell phones just in case your sister makes contact.
Corrine
Where are they, can I talk to them through your phone??
Helena
They put them in a back room somewhere away from me
Helena
I don’t know. I think they are trying to keep stuff from them.
Corrine
Keep what from them?!
Helena
I don’t think they know what’s actually happening.
Corrine
How could they NOT
Helena
I don’t know, but maybe they don’t want them to panic.
Helena
Right now buses are pulling into the police station
Helena
They are mobilizing part of the community to go to a safe haven up north
Helena
I don’t know where yet, that’s what I’m trying to figure out.
Corrine
Part of the community??
Helena
Yeah, they’re not taking everyone.
Corrine
THEY’RE LEAVING ME FOR DEAD, AREN’T THEY???
Helena
Corinne, my father would never leave you for dead. Never.
Corrine
Who are they taking?? Who is more special than everyone else??
Helena
I don’t know how they are gauging it...
Helena
but right now it looks like friends and family of the police.
Helena
I’m guessing the mayor too
Corrine
So are they leaving Jared too??
Corrine
Oh God, don’t tell me he’s dead.
Helena
I’m actually not sure right now
Corrine
Wasn’t he with you in the van??
Helena
He was until he stole your parents car...
Helena
and drove off to meet that drug guy
Helena
Yeah...I’m kind of reluctant to say what for because...
Helena
I don’t want to get your hopes up
Helena
Well, he broke into that barn to find your sister...
Helena
But I haven’t heard a word from him since
Corrine
Oh God, did the drug guy do something to him?
Helena
No, he actually...got rid of the drug guy on the way in
Corrine
what do you mean “get rid of??”
Helena
He pushed him out of the car. The eaters got him
Corrine
You’re calling them the eaters??
Helena
Jared coined the phrase.
Helena
Anyway - I don’t know where any of them are right now...
Helena
but you can rest assured that someone is looking for your sister
Corrine
What if he’s dead?? What if they’re both dead?
Helena
Don’t go there yet.
Helena
Wait...the meeting just got out. I’m going to go talk to my Dad
Corrine
Please...hurry...they’re trying to break through the window
Corrine
What’s he saying?
Corrine
So is he sending someone??
Helena
I’m going to go find your parents
Corrine
Okay, but are they sending someone??
Helena
I’m going to try to break out of here with them to get you
Helena
I don’t want to lie to you...he told me to lie to you, but I can’t
Corrine
Just fucking say it.
Helena
When I asked my Dad what they were doing...
Helena
he leaned in and said that they can’t send anyone....it’s getting too bad
Helena
As long as your parents drive, we’ll be there.
Helena
I’ll stop back at my house and get my Dad’s guns, and we’ll be there
Corrine
Your Dad wanted to just leave me here??
Helena
Hold on, I’m finding them...
Corrine
If it’s getting too bad...
Corrine
Maybe you should just leave me here
Helena
No! That’s not happening!
Corrine
I don’t want to put you or my family in danger.
Corrine
And I don’t want them to miss the bus to safety
Helena
Stop trying to be a martyr. I just found them
Corrine
Can I talk to them?? What are they saying?
Corrine
Helena?? What’s happening??
Helena
We just tried to leave and they wouldn’t let us!!!!
Helena
Listen, the second Jared texts me I’ll send him over to you
Corrine
Can I please talk to my Dad
Helena
They just separated us again
Corrine
Oh my God, they’re getting through the window. One just pushed it’s arm in!!
Corrine
Tell my family that I love them okay??
Helena
Can’t you hide somewhere???
Corrine
Just do it...they’re going to find me...so please
Helena
No, you’re going to get out of there!
Helena
And I’m going to give you the directions to the safe place
Corrine
No I’m not...now ’m not...just tell them for me
Helena
I’m so sorry Corinne. I’m so sorry
Corrine
Someone is leaning on a car horn!! They’re turning around!!!!
Corrine
They’re leaving!!!
Helena
Who is it?? Who’s leaning on the horn?
