Scourge Page #4

How do you plan on

helping me, Jesse?

- You'd better keep your distance.

- No.

It's not a virus.

- How do you know?

- It would have spread...

through town by now. Go.

Lydia's fireman

was on a call here.

The fireman got it first.

He gave it to Lydia,

she gave it to

the guy at the mall.

If the game

was at three, and

Lydia died at nine,

that's six hours.

What's that?

Oh!

Don't get too close.

Smells like vinegar.

We have to get

down there.

Over there. That's

where the axe was.

Here.

I see something.

Careful.

Okay, here goes.

"This vessel

bears a corrigia

"born of hellfire.

Preserve this vessel,

sealed from the world-"

I can't read the rest.

It's dated the 4th

of May, 1871.

We've got a date

and a name.

I can look through

the town's archives.

Maybe there's

something there.

We need to find that guy

your uncle dusted at the mall.

If this "corgeria" thing

has moved on,

we need to find out who.

Come on, huh? One shot.

Clear the frame.

Huh? Come on.

I'm begging you.

I'll give you 20 bucks.

Flatfoot!

Yeah. You have a nice day, too, sir.

Okay.

The last person with

the guy from the mall

was his ambulance

technician Eddie Pastor.

He left his shift early.

He's a boarder,

and they say

that we can find him

at one of the skate parks.

Can I have the chips?

Whoa!

You want these chips?

Not so fast.

You're the guy that can do

the backside air, right?

I can't right now.

Hungry.

The backside air first.

Okay, we're back

at the church.

I'll meet you here after.

- Jesse.

- Yeah?

Thanks.

For what?

Believing me.

No psychotic killer

could make

anything this goofy.

"Edward Norberg,

a Harborford native

"and a respected

silversmith,

"was struck down

by a bolt of lightning

"Tuesday night in what

many consider to be

"an act of divine

intervention.

The madman was survived

by a wife and son. "

Hey.

Is that... Is that Eddie?

Yo, we didn't do this.

I didn't say you did.

Is that him?

This jack attacked me, and dropped dead.

How?

How'd he attack you?

Listen, you should

come with me.

I think you might be

sick or cursed, maybe.

I just told you,

we didn't do this.

It's called the corrigia.

Are you deaf, f*** head?

'Cause I just told you-

You don't understand.

If you don't get

to a doctor now,

you might not make it through the night.

Come on.

Come on, Scott.

Who is it?

Miss Norberg?

My name is Jesse Jarret.

I'm looking for information

on Edward Norberg.

I tried calling

the listed number.

- They said it was out of service.

- Stay right there.

...but that's not to say

that people haven't put

their own quarantine

in effect.

People are staying

in their houses.

People aren't
