Simultaneously, back in the creatures truck, Addison manages to uncover her head from the sheet.
Hair gets in her face. She reaches up and brushes it out of her face. "Hurry.", Kirk says.
Addison finishes removing the rope and sheet. "Sometimes he comes back fast.", Kirk says.

"Its usually with another body and you dont want to be here for that.", he continues.

She goes over to Kirk and helps him get untied.

Unaware of each other, it comes to a suprise to both that they both ended up in the truck.

Addison is horrified to see Kirk. "Kirk?", she says. "No fuckin way, Addy.", Kirk says. "Oh my god...", she says.

Both hug each other for a moment. Kirk lets out a hiss in pain.
"My leg. I cant walk on it, but i can drive myself just get, get me out of this.", he says.

Addison brushes her hair behind her ears. She continues to help Kirk out of the sheets.

"I checked.", Kirk says. They look at all the bodies lying inside with them. "They're dead.", Kirk says.

"They think im dead too, and probably you.", Kirk continues.

"Why arent we?", Addison says, concerned but thankful shes still alive.
"I was passed out when they wrapped me and through me in here.
From what i could tell, i think they were in too big of a hurry to care if we are or not.", Kirk says.

"Yeah, well lets get out of here.", Addison says. She gets up to out the back doors but Kirk stops her.

"No!", he yells as he reaches for her. Addison turns back to him. "Only they can open those.", Kirk says.

"You try, itll split you in 2. This whole fucking truck is a death trap.", Kirk says.

They begin searching for another way out. "Maybe the front.", Kirk says as he looks up front.

He starts crawling to the front of the truck. Addison goes back to Kirk.
"Try the driver's door.", Kirk says. Addison moves to the front of the truck.

"What do you see?", Kirk asks.

"It just looks like a door handle.", Addison says.

"Theres a chain, should i try that?", Addison asks.

"Try what?", Kirk asks. Addison reaches for the chain she sees hanging.
"I dunno, maybe it does something.", She says. She touches it and immediately the horn begins blaring.
The horn startles both her and Kirk. Kirk grabs his leg and hisses in pain.

Both are back on the floor. "I think maybe the horn.", She says.

"Try the door handle.", Kirk says. Kirk crawls up between the front seats. Addison gets back up to her feet.

"Say a little prayer that one of these doors open.", Kirk says.

Both are unaware of the odd placement of traps. In between the front seats are holes.

One on the right side of the drivers seat and one on the left side of the passenger seat.

Kirk reaches up only for a spear to penatrate his head. The spear goes all the way through to the passenger seat.

Addison falls back and screams. She stares in horror and shock. Kirks body twitches.

Addison begins to cry once more. She holds her knees up to her chest. Shes all alone once more.

Back at Gaylen's house, all of the police men and leaders are surrounding the table the severed hand was once sitting.
Gaylen removes the sack it was in and other tools. She clears the way for the men to set the vase with the hand in it.
The men clear a path so some other men can tip the vase over and dump the severed hand onto the table.
They struggle to get the hand out but manage. Once the hand hits the table, they jump back a few inches.
