Daylight's End Page #3

drive straight through?

It's at least three days'

drive to Baja.

With all the families,

the children...

we'd never have lasted

that long on the road.

And if the marauders didn't get

to us, these things would've.

It'd be like ringin' the

dinner bell.

That's why we needed that plane.

This, you know, we really

believed our defenses...

would hold, you know?

Our plan was to wait 'em out,

rebuild.

Figured eventually these

things...

would starve themselves

to death.

Our mistake.

That bigger one I shot

at at the garage?

- The one in the camo?

- Yeah.

He's new... showed up

out of the blue...

maybe two, three weeks ago.

Big son of a b*tch, and this

one's a little different...

he... he watches.

We're guessin' he's the one that

led the rest of these things...

to us, 'cause they've been

hittin' us hard...

every night ever since, man.

Gathering like roaches up

at that hotel.

Where's that exactly?

The Baker?

Yeah.

About a mile from here.

It's infested, man.

Listen, pal, my dad's good

on his word, okay?

He'll live up to the deal.

Hey, thanks for bringin'

Sam home safe.

Take a look at the bright side,

you're a lot safer in this cage.

Just keep an eye on him.

I'm sorry about them locking

you up like this.

Hey, what was New York like?

Same as everywhere else,

people dead, dying.

I never got to see it.

I always wanted to.

I was gonna go to law school

and get married...

have kids, all that stuff.

You met Ethan. I was engaged to

his younger brother, Evan.

We were at home when

everything happened.

The news said, "Stay in your

homes, lock your doors...

"you'll be safe there,"

so that's where we were.

Two of them got in and Evan told

me to go to the bathroom...

and lock the door and hide

and that's exactly what I did.

I can remember sitting on the

cold floor and just covering...

my ears like a scared

little kid...

but I could still hear

all this noise...

and then it just stopped...

and when he came in after me,

he wasn't Evan anymore.

He'd forgotten who I was.

If Ethan hadn't showed up,

I'd be dead.

He had to kill his own brother.

Nobody should have to do that,

you know?

Once they turn, it doesn't

matter who they were before.

They'll turn on you... faster

than you could pull the trigger.

How do you think it

all happened?

A lot of speculation on how it

happened, but it doesn't matter.

Pretty obvious how

it's gonna end.

No, there's a survivalist

colony in Baja.

It's... it's in the middle

of the desert.

It's remote, 150 miles

from the nearest anything.

Even as fast as those things

are, they couldn't get to it...

without burning to death first.

Listen to me, it doesn't matter
