Against The Dark Page #4

Relax. It's not like I'm infected

or anything.

But you're bleeding.

Any amount of blood

can attract them.

You know that, no matter

how messed up you are right now.

Idiot.

That's what they call their genius.

There's the examining room.

There may be some medicines

in there.

Okay, go.

Okay, I'm gonna take him inside.

You guys be careful.

If you hear anything, then...

There's a lot of levels, yeah?

Let's go.

Don't sit so close to me, Charlie.

I'm just thinking right now.

About what?

Same thing I always think about.

What the hell are we gonna do?

What if we are the only ones left?

You know what that means?

What?

It means we are the monsters now.

This world isn't ours anymore.

She's good to go.

I found penicillin to help

with that.

All right.

What is it?

Help me.

- No, no.

- Back up.

Slowly.

Back up.

I'm ready, sir.

Thank you.

What's our status?

We got a report that there may, in fact,

be uninfected survivors.

What kind of report?

What do you mean?

Colonel, we have and have had

teams in the areas.

- But not our teams.

- No, they're not.

They're civilian groups

acting on their own.

They call themselves hunters.

We've been providing them

with support and coordination.

The latest intel we've got

is from a group of hunters in Sector 7.

They're telling us they can have

that area cleared by sunrise.

Sector 7 by dawn?

That's one of the worst areas.

With all due respect, Mr. Cross...

...we do things a little differently than

you guys at the State Department.

Look.

The infected retreat indoors

when the sun comes out.

- Correct?

- Yeah.

- You know where this is heading.

- You wanna sterilize the area.

Normally, I'd agree with you.

But right now we've lost contact

with our group on the ground.

So we can't verify

that they'll be out of here on time.

- Where are our aircraft?

- The Tangos are on the deck, sir.

- Why aren't they in the air?

- We're waiting for final approval.

- We're gonna sterilize the area.

- Lieutenant...

If any of your hunters

are on the ground...

...if you hear from them,

tell them to get out of there.

That's a hell of an idea.

I wish I'd have thought of that.

Mr. Cross, I'm in charge here.

And the last I heard,

I don't plan to retire anytime soon.

Unless the State Department is

willing take over a military operation...

...I suggest you do exactly what I say

when I say it.

Make sure those planes

are ready to take off.

Yes, sir.

What is that?

I'll check it out.

Careful, Ricky.

That would've been funny

if it wasn't so goddamn scary.

- Open it.

- It won't open.

What about the others?

They've gone the other way,

darling.

Open the door.

Come on. Come on, hurry up.
