"I got no idea!", Cal says over the phone. Buddy behind him, leaning again the wall.
"Sheriff's up in Kissell, says they cant even get a man down here.", Cal says. He turns to Buddy.
"Bud is really scaring me.", he says. Buddy stares at a wall. Cal continues to look at him.

"Hes in some kind of shock or something and hes not snapping out of it.
Im getting ready to run him-", Call says but hears Buddy finally speak.

"I let her go...", Buddy says. Cal takes the phone from his ear. Cal rushes over to Buddy.

He hangs up the phone. "I let her go.", Buddy says again. Cal comes right in front of Buddy.

"I couldnt hold on, Dad.", Buddy mumbles out.
Cal doesnt say anything and lets Buddy talk.

"I let her go and now shes out there with those things somewhere!", Buddy hisses.

Buddy springs up but Cal puts his hands on his shoulders and lowers him back down. "Now just... sit.", Cal says.
"I left her out there!", Buddy yells, springing back up again.
Cal tries to keep his sitting. "Sit down.", he says.

"I left her, Dad!", Buddy yells again. Hes fighting against Cal. "Sit down and stop, stop talking!", Cal hisses.

Cal gets him to sit and shut up. He backs up. He gets back on the phone.

"All i know is that the truck looks like its been rolled. Its missing a god damn...", Cal says. He looks back over and Buddy is gone.

He hears the truck starting up again. "Jesus christ!", He yells and runs out the office.

Jessie is working on the truck. He turns around and sees Buddy taking off in another truck. Cal comes running and chasing after Buddy.

He calls out for him but nothing stops him from driving off in search for Addison.

On the same highway, Danny and Davis are chasing after it.

Davis stares at Danny. Danny could feel it and thought he might as well give an explanation.

"Its not about what i saw.", he starts.

He pauses for a moment. "If i knew what that was", he pauses again. "Its just how much bigger it is. How much older...", Danny says.
Danny turns to Davis. "Its ancient. Both of them.", Danny says. Danny looks forward again.
Davis's breathing picks up. His heart beating against his chest. Mickey is on the same highway.

Hes using binoculars to see the truck. Him and Jenkins are gonna come from the front.

"Talk to me Jenkins, Please.", Mickey says.

"Nothing! God damn nothing!", Jenkins says.

The license plate on Mickey's truck is a mimic to the creature's truck.

BKLLNGU compared to BEATINGU. Mickey made it to imitate the creature's truck.

Danny and Davis continue to come from behind the truck. Thats when they finally find it.

Only a few yards up ahead of them. They start gaining on the truck.
What they weren't expecting was for one driving the truck and then another one on top.
Alex is on top. He looks back at Davis. "Holy Mary, mother of God.", he says.

Alex looks right at Danny. Danny makes eye contact with him. He found him.

"You son of a bitch.", Danny says.

"Be straight with me. Can we kill these things?", Davis asks.

Danny reaches for the gun in between them. "You still a sharpshooter?", Danny asks.
Davis looks back at him. Then to the gun and then back to Danny. A small smirk spreads across his face.
"You bet your sweet ass i am.", Davis says, taking the gun. "Hang on!", Danny says, gaining more on the truck.

Davis leans out his window. "Get me up closer to that son of a bitch!", Davis hisses.

"Take his tires out.", Danny says. Davis aims at the tires. He shoots only for it to ricochet back and nearly hit Davis.

The horn blares. Inside the truck, Addison sits up. She looks forward.

"Hit him again.", Danny says. Davis cocks the gun and aims once more.
He fires but the bullet once again ricochets back at the vehicle.

"What the hell are they made of?", Davis hisses. He goes back to aiming.

"Again!", Danny yells. Davis shoots and hits the back doors and it fires back at them.

"Son of a bitch!", Davis yells. He cocks the gun once more.

Inside, Addison hears metal clanking. Next thing they know, a small metal sphere drops.

"Hold on!", Danny yells. "Jesus!", Davis says. Danny swerves the vehicle out of the way of this mysterious sphere.
Davis watches it in rear view mirror. It goes down the road a ways, turns around and starts chasing them.
"What the hell!", Davis yells. He them aims the gun at the sphere chasing them. Davis shoots it and it explodes.

They stare in disbelief. Bombs. This fucking truck is dropping bombs now.

Up ahead, Mickey is heading directly for them. Danny and Davis look and see the truck. Mickey sitting in the back.

"Mickey?", Danny says. Mickey looks at the truck coming right towards them. He sees Alex on top.

Jenkins also stares in disbelief. "Oh, come here you big ugly bastard.", Mickey says.
Alex knew he had to think and think fast. He jumps on the front of the truck. He looks into the windshield.
He begins trying the bash the window in. Davis and Danny only see Alex Disappear.

"Oh my sweet-"

"Christ!", Danny yells, cutting Davis off. "Everything ricochets off that truck!", Danny hisses.

Danny gets on the radio. "Mickey, Come in!", Danny says. "Mickey, listen to me.

That truck is not to be fired on!", Danny says.

"Straight at it, Jenky! Go!", Mickey says. Mickey sees Alex doing what hes doing to the window.

"2 birds. One stone.", Mickey says to himself. The truck blares its horn. Alex still trying to bust the window.

He manages to start cracking it. The truck heading straight towards Mickey.

"Mickey! Come in!", Danny says. "Michael, dont shoot at the god damn truck!", Danny yells.
Danny tries to get Mickey to not shoot but nothing is getting through. Jenkins hears the radio but ignores Danny's pleas.
Mickey gets the canon loaded and aims. He pulls the lever back. Danny makes his last pleas to Mickey's radio.

"For my old man and a thousand others you ugly mother fucker!", Michael says to himself and begins shooting.

Bullets fly. Some hit the truck, others hit the pavement, and some hit Alex on the front of the truck.

The ones that hit the truck ricochet back. So many hit Alex that his grip becomes weak on the front of the truck.

The bullets ricochet back kill both Mickey and Jenkins. Filling their truck with the ricocheted bullets.

Danny and Davis watch in horror as Mickey and Jenkins get filled with bullets. Just before the 2 trucks pass one another, the creature swerves the truck.

Him doing so makes Alex fly off, landing in front of Mickey's truck.
Then, the creature drops a bomb, exploding Mickey's truck and Alex with the truck.
Danny and Davis drive through the smoke, still right behind the truck.

It drops another bomb. "Hold on!", Danny says.

    Danny stops so Davis can shoot but it explodes, sending the vehicle into the field next to them.

   The vehicle rolls a few times. Its badly damaged and smoking. Both Danny and Davis temporarily lose consciousness...
