"Hell, No." Wyatt says a bit scared. "A cemetery at night?" He continues. "What if zombies are real in the future?"

"We only went a few years forward, Wyatt." His sister commented.

"A lot can happen in a few years." Their friend, Topher, replied. "The hotel burned down, I somehow got even better-looking? Who knows what else the future holds."  He asked confidently.

Savannah stops their slightly silly conversation. "Look, there's Harper." She says softly enough so Future Harper doesn't hear her, which she succeeds because you can hear the insects chirping.

The hide behind a headstone and see Future Harper in tears, kneeling in front of a gravestone and a boquete of flowers resting against it. She places her hand on the face of the stone the slowly walks off. Savannah and the kids approach the gravestone and crouch in front of it. Savannah moves the flowers out of the way only to reveal the name... Griffin Campbell.

"Griffin?!" Zoey speaks up in shock as she makes eye contact with Topher.

In the present, Savannah and the kids walk through the passage way back to the bunker.

"It's a mistake. It has to be." Wyatt says as he's slowly and un-intentionally becoming The 2024 Wyatt.

"We saw it with our own eyes." His sister responded in shock as well.

"No. No." Wyatt says in disbelief. "Did you see the date on the tombstone? 2020. That means Griffin could just have a few months, or weeks, or days." He says slowly.

"Or it's already to late." Zoey says starting to pick up what her twin sibling is saying.

"We can't think like that. We just have to find Griffin and Harper and tell them what we saw." Savannah says before Wyatt remembers something Griffin said earlier.

" 'Lives are at stake.' That's what Griffin told us. He was talking about Himself." He says.

"No, he wasn't. The future we just saw, it changed somehow. Before it was... someone else in danger." She responded as the twins look at each other.

"Well, come on. Don't leave us hanging. Who was it?" Topher asked.

"Well, you actually."

They load some shelves to conceal the tunnels.

"Hey, a little help here?" Wyatt asks trying to lighten up the mood.

"He just found out he was going to wind up in a coma. Give him a minute" she says looking at the poor boy who's staring blankly into space with his mouth opened.

"It's ok Topher. The future we saw clearly changed. Now it's Griffin that needs our help." Savannah says before they sit in silence for a couple of seconds.

"Maybe it's best we don't tell him. I mean look how Topher reacted." Zoey announced.

"Same with Harper. She won't go to bed knowing that Griffin ends up in danger. He's... everything to her." Savannah replies as she receives slight smiles from Zoey.

A box tumbles as Wyatt gasp. "AH, ZOMBIE!"

"What are you talking about?" Griffin says confused to see everyone in the basement.

"YOURE ALIVE!" Zoey says hugging him along side her brother. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" He asked.

Harper crawls through. "Savannah? Shouldn't you be back in 1962?"

"I was going to go home... eventually, but I saw-" she was interrupted by Zoey clearing her throat.

"Which reminds me I should get home now." She says pushing through to make it to the bunker it silence.

"And we should go to bed. Night guys." Wyatt says avoiding a he topic as he and his friends leave the area.

"That was... weird" Harper says crossing her arms.

"Yeah, Savannah wouldn't hang with the twins unless it was serious." Griffin said looking at Harper.

"So you're saying this has something to do with the radio?" she asked him.

"Well we did see the radio get dialed to 2024 so... I guess there's only one way to find out." He says going back through the tunnels of the bunker as Harper follows him. Then a quiet yet ghostly voice is heard with anger.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!"
