Day of Reckoning Page #6

this is the right place?

Yes. I just talked to him.

Dad.

Dad, mom, they're coming!

They're coming!

I know! Goddamn it!

- David!

- He's here!

Come on.

Try the door again.

Try the main doors.

Find something. Just...

David! David!

Okay.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Ty, give me a hand.

Stand on it.

Uncle Ted, please let us in!

- Ted, Ted, Ted!

- We gotta go now!

Get back, get back.

Uncle Ted, if you can hear me,

please just open the door.

Please open the door, uncle Ted.

Dad!

David, get in!

Dad, dad, dad, it's open!

- It's open! Come on!

- Go, go, go!

Okay, go, go, go!

Close it, close it!

- Everybody okay?

- We're good.

Ted. Ted!

I'm sorry. I didn't hear you

until you started banging.

Awesome place, Ted.

Saltwater sprinklers.

Thanks, kid.

- Hi, I'm Maddie.

- Hi, Maddie.

- Nice to meet you.

- Thank you so much.

- Stella, hey.

- I'm glad you made it.

Laura, oh, my gosh.

I'm so glad you're here.

David, you were supposed to be

up here before the eclipse.

David, this is Garrett.

Corporal Garrett Jensen.

Homeland security.

David Sheppard.

That's my kid Tyler,

and his mom, my ex-wife.

Garrett's father and I

were in the Gulf war together.

I got, uh...

I got separated from my unit.

Lucky for me, I remembered

Ted here had this place,

so here I am.

That was lucky.

My sidearm

bothering you, friend?

Guns make me nervous.

Ain't that the point?

They gonna do that all night?

They probably will now.

The buzzards know we're here.

Nothing is getting in here

without an invitation.

I can attest to that.

If I was you, I think I'd feel

lucky to be in here at all.

This is one of those days

that no one should

have to live through,

let alone a second time,

but we are going to.

We're gonna survive this.

All of us.

Now how about we get

dinner started, huh?

Burn through some time here.

You guys made it just in time

for one of Stella's all-time

special recipes.

Right, baby?

I guess so, if you like stew.

- Laura?

- Plenty of stew for everyone.

What? Yeah.

That would be great.

Is anyone listening?!

Pardon me.

The world's gonna be

a different place by morning.

It's gonna be a long night.

Give me a hand with this.

Can they see us

through the walls?

- Like by heat or something?

- That's not how it works.

- How's it work then?

I don't know exactly.

Like they say, movement, light.

You know what I think?

I think they see right into you.

Right into your soul.

I think it's crystal clear

that these things

are the devil's work

and therefore, creatures of god.

They're here to test us.

Test you.

Test your spirit.

Test your guts.

They might tear your flesh,

but they're feeding
