*The scene opens with Ozzy rushing over to Zack as the rest of the group stops in their tracks. He leans down and rolls Zack over onto his back.*

Ozzy: Zack! Zack, talk to me please.

*Ozzy watches as blood rushes from the hole in Zack's chest. He quickly applies pressure on it as Zack struggles to speak.*

Zack: I. . . I can't. . . Breathe.

Ozzy: We gotta get you somewhere safe.

*Ozzy looks down at his hand and sees bubbles forming in the blood, his heart sinks at the sight and he grows even more concerned.*

Ozzy: Guys! Help!

*Ozzy grabs onto Zack's shoulders and drags him behind a car. He sets him down parallel to the driver side as the rest of the group runs over.*

Ozzy: You still with me, Zack?

*Zack attempts to sit up but Ozzy quickly holds him back.*

Ozzy: Don't move!

*The rest of the group is now behind the car with them.*

Ryan: What the hell happened?

Ozzy: I'm not sure! It looks like he might've been shot!

Andrew: Seriously? From where?

Ozzy: I don't fucking know, all I know is he's hurt!

Isaiah: How bad is it?

Ozzy: From the way the blood appears, I'd say he's possibly shot through the lungs. He needs your stand, Isaiah.

Isaiah: Got it.

*Isaiah summons Don't Fear The Reaper and slices through Zack. While doing it he feels something odd.*

Isaiah: That's not right.

Ozzy: What?! What is it?

Isaiah: I can feel something moving inside of his body.

Ryan: What does that mean?

Isaiah: It means what I said. There's something crawling inside of him.

Bryce: Can you feel where it is exactly?

Isaiah: I can get a rough estimate.

Zack: I. . . Can. . . Tell.

Ozzy: Don't force yourself to talk right now Zack.

Ryan: If he can tell us exactly where this thing is, we can get it out of him.

Ozzy: But-

Ryan: Or this unknown creature does something to Zack that we can't undo.

*Ozzy looks down at Zack and realizes just how Dire the situation is.*

Ozzy: Tell us.

Zack: Spine.

Ryan: Did you say your spine?

*Zack simply glances at Ryan with a confirming look.*

Ozzy: Shit. It's probably trying to paralyze him.

Bryce: If it does, Zack won't be able to use his stand.

Ozzy: Fuck, we don't have time to try and get it out. We'll just have to hope it works.

Isaiah: Hope what works?

Ozzy: Zack, hurry up and use your stand on yourself. I'm not sure if whatever the creature is will be affected or not. But I'm hoping it'll be pulled out.
