Jackson slowly begins to regain consciousness as he opens his eyes to see the trainwreck in front of him. He'd gotten a shard of metal to the kidney. He rips it out and quickly covers the wound as he throws the shard to the side. "OLIVIA? JUSTIN? ANYONE!" Jackson looks around the area to see Justin had a massive gaping hole in this chest created by a sharp piece of the train torn off from the crash.
Jackson runs to Justin, he's already dead. Justin lost a lot of blood. All Jackson can do is stare at his lifeless body, hanging. Jackson pays his respects and acknowledges there was nothing he could've done. He searches for the others. He finds Jamie miraculously unharmed trying to wake up Jennifer. "Do you know where Olivia is?" Jackson looks to Jamie for guidance. He points to one of the cars, it's pretty far away. Jackson runs over to the cart. He finds Olivia underneath the cart, exhausted from trying to escape from the weight of it.
"OLIVIA, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Jackson tries to move the cart off of her. She tries to gasp for air. "Help," was the only thing she was able to get out of her mouth. "JAMIE" Jackson calls for him. Just as he does, Jennifer wakes up. "H-Huh...? Jamie?" Jamie looks down at her, "Jennifer!! Come on, get up! Jackson needs help with something!" Jamie runs over to Jackson in a hurry to help his buddy. "Jamie I just- I just-" – She looks around – "What the hell happened?" Jennifer gets up and sees Justin's corpse in the distance, "Oh my."
Jennifer looks over at the two boys and notices Olivia and she runs over, "Olivia, are you alright?" She joins them in moving the car. Olivia struggles out and finally breaks free. Jackson falls back and lets go of the cart and so do the others. Jamie cuts himself a bit on the car as it falls to the ground. "Thank you, I could never be more grateful to have you three..." Jennifer listens to Olivia's gratitude as it fades. She notices a man quickly fleeing the scene. "HEY, WAIT-" By the time those words leave her mouth, the man was gone.
