The Quiet Hour Page #2

Then they will come down

here and kill me and you.

Do you want that to happen?

There's a knife

in the side pocket of my bag.

Get it for me and let me help.

I'm not going to

lie to you, I promise.

Come here.

Here.

Great. Yeah. Stay there.

No one can see you.

You'll be fine.

-No!

Thanks.

-Jeez!

Are the other locked?

-No.

-We'll be safe now.

-Tom?

-Sarah?

Are you Ok?

-Yeah.

-What did he do to you?

-Nothing.

-Your sister's fine.

-Did you hear them leave?

-I heard an engine.

They moved a van.

-They have broken

into the barn.

-They'll attack us again at sunset.

-That's how everyone

left is killed.

You've done a good

job cleaning up my leg.

You a nursing student?

-Something like that.

Tell me what you did to them.

Tell me the truth.

-I killed one of them.

My brother.

They killed my wife and daughter.

They broke into the basement

where they were hiding.

My wife tried to defend

what little food we had.

And they killed her.

I came back from a water run

and found them carrying

boxes to their van.

And I just hid.

I remember her wiping

blood on her pants.

Him

eating our food.

And their brother

bragging about what he'd just done.

Thought I'd never see him again.

Then, a couple of days ago,

I'm riding in a bunker on

the coast and I hear a voice.

Their brother's.

I killed him whilst he slept.

Then ran.

They've been chasing me ever since.

-And your daughter?

-They got her, too.

-How do you know he isn't making

up stories to make you feel sorry for him?

-Tom...

-Was he in the picture he showed you?

-No.

-Then you don't know for sure, do you?

-He saved my life.

-Maybe he plays the good

guy till he's done with the people outside.

-Look, we're all in this together.

-I'm just saying we

should watch our backs.

He killed a man before your eyes,

how do you know he's not gonna kill us, too?

-How can you judge him so harshly

you can't even see him?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

-That's another five.

Mediocre shot.

That's a nice radio.

Who taught you how to use it?

-My father.

-Your father sounds like

quite the survivalist.

-He didn't...

He doesn't like to

take things for granted.

He would always be

prepared if we went to ship.

-Did you get your electricity

from the solar power?

-Some. But we save

the batteries for the radio.

Wait a minute.

Your men will live

They keep doing alright

This usually means you're OK

-An unusually big swarm has been

spotted over Bradford heading south.

I repeat. An unusually big swarm has been

spotted over Bradford heading south.

They're three quarters advanced

-They're heading our way.

They've been acting

strangely lately.
