In Their Eyes

-22-

   At the same time, underground at that packing plant, the creature is halted. He can sense his truck is being moved.
    He stops his work. He makes his way up and shoots out of the building. He begins searching for his truck.
Down the highway, the tow truck has BEATINGU on the back. "It looks like a Rio.", the driver says. "An old chevy Cab-o. Cab over engine. Id say 1940s.", the driver adds.

"That cow-catcher's gotta be custom. You wanna tell me what the hell a truck like that needs a cow-catcher for?", The driver asks the female cop from the station.

The driver pulls out a cigarette and lights it. The cop looking back at the truck.

"If you knew what was inside that thing, that wouldnt be your only question.", the cop says.

She turns and faces forward. They both continue to drive down the highway, unaware of what lurks up above.

Crows all around them cawing. The radio begins to make noise. "Dana, listen up and listen good!", A voice comes over the radio.
"Im sending units to you right now. Code 3, you read me?", the voice says. They 2 look at one another.

"Code 3!", the Sargent says. "C-come again, Sargent?", She says.

"Just tell that driver to put his foot on the gas and drive like hell to...", the Sargent says but his voice cuts out.

Unaware, the creature has found his truck. He lands on the back with his truck.

He pulls out his battle axe. He walks the length of his truck. He draws his axe back and cuts the chains holding his truck.

As he strikes, sparks can be seen. Both the cop and driver whirl around as the sparks fly.

"What the hell?", the driver says. He slams on his breaks. The truck begins to roll off the back of the tow truck.

"What is that?", the cop says. "Jesus christ!!", the driver says. The truck continues to roll off the back.
"Holy shit!", the driver says. The truck stops. Both the cop and driver jump out of the truck. Cop has her hand on her gun.
The driver jumps out and goes to the cop on the passenger side. Both look at the truck.

They see a dark figure standing on the top of the truck. Lights all on and moving. The 2 stare at the creature.

The creature is driving the truck while still on top of it. They stare as the truck passes them.

Both in shock at what they are seeing. The creature looks back at them as he passes them.

They watch as the truck drives itself away.

The creature takes his hat off and holds it in his hands.
He takes great big whiffs of air, smelling them.
Meanwhile, on the same highway, Danny and Tubbs as well as others chase after that tow truck.

"Fear... has a scent and ive seen that thing inhale it. Like it could sample fear, right out of the air.", Danny says.

The cop and driver watch as the truck disappear down the hill.

"Dispatch, this is Lang with the impound vehicle, please respond.", Officer Lang says.

"Thats how it picks what parts of us to eat and it eats... to rebuild itself.", danny says.

"Captin, are you in range?", Lang asks. "This is Dana. We have a situation with the impound vehicle.", she says.

The driver remains frozen in the road, looking after where the vehicle came from.
Dana gets out of the tow truck. Now both are looking after where the truck disappeared to.
"You hear that?", The driver says. Both breathing heavily now. "Its coming back.", the driver says.
