Addison's grandmother, Gaylen, is outside when Buddy and Addison pull up to the house.

    They drive up to the barn. Gaylen has a shovel.

    She hides behind a nearby tree so they dont see her.

    She watches them from the tree.

   Buddy unloads the truck into the barn. Addison takes some hay and starts feeding Rocket.

    She pets along his neck. Buddy unloads the last bale. Addison looks back at him.

    "So, this is the famous Rocket, huh?", Buddy asks, approaching Addison and Rocket.

    "Hes a beauty.", Buddy says, rubbing Rocket's head.

   "You understand what im saying, dont you?", Buddy says, talking to Rocket.

   "Every word you're saying.", Addison says.

"Yeah?", Buddy asks. Addison nods a little.

   "Well, in that case, do you think Addy here would ever be interested in seeing a guy like me?", Buddy asks.

   Addison's eyes meet his. Both look at one another. A few moments of silence passes.

   Addison turns and walks away, not knowing what to do or say.

   She walks over to the barn door, just by the hay storage is.

    "In the city...", she starts. "My mother and i had a cat.", she continues.

"Addy...", Buddy says
.

   She turns to Buddy.

"I liked the cat. Crapped in her boyfriends's shoes every chance it got.", she says.

   Buddy comes up behind her. Her back faces him.

"What happened to the boyfriend?", Buddy asks.

   "She married him.", she says, turning around and facing him once again.

    "They got rid of the cat.", Buddy says.

Addison makes eye contact once again with Buddy.

   "Look i...", Buddy starts. "Im not great at this, and when i get nervous, i start talking too much.", Buddy continues.

   Buddy steps forward a little bit. He reaches out gently and slowly.

"I, uh...", he starts again.

    He grabs her hand. Addison looks down and then up again. Buddy whirls around.

   They sound of grunts and screaming can be heard. Both look out the barn doors.

   Buddy goes and investigates. Addison not far behind.

   As they look out the barn, they look up at that hill with one single tree growing.

   They see Gaylen up on the hill. They see her digging and throwing dirt.

    Buddy watches her.

"Is that your grandmother?", Buddy asks.

   Grunting and crying, she digs up whatever shes looking for.

    Buddy rubs the back of his neck. Addison starts to panic.

   "Thank you for the hay, but please just go.", Addison says, sounding like shes almost on the verge of tears.

    Buddy turns back to her. He looks at her and his eyes shows sadness.

    Addison turns her back to him.

"You wouldn't wanna come?", Buddy asks.

    Addison stops in her tracks. She turns back towards him.

    "I mean, i gotta get the rest of this stuff up to Bernardi's. You ever been up there?", Buddy asks.

"Its really something.", he says, trying to convince Addison to go with him.

    "I mean, only if you want to.", he says.

"I'd love to.", Addison says.

Buddy smiles.

"Okay.", he says.

   He goes around to the passenger side and opens the door for her. She walks up and gets into the truck.

   During this, Gaylen finally digs enough and starts using her gloves to keep digging further
.

    She suddenly stops digging. She looks up and sees the spirit of her son, Kenny.

   He looks down at her with a furious look on his face.

    "What are you doing?", he asks.

    "I need to know what you found.", she says.

"Mom, what are you doing?", he asks again, yelling this time.

   "And why it killed you for it.", she adds from her last sentence.

    "No you don't. You dont want to see what it'll show you.", he hisses.

    "Go! Away!", she yells. She screams go away over and over again until Kenny finally vanishes.

    She then goes back to digging with her gloves. She feels something.

   She grabs the shovel and digs it the rest of the way out.

   A brown sack. She uses the shovel to hold it as she examines the bag.

    She gets up from her knees with the shovel in hand. She found what she was looking for.

    On the highway, Danny and Davis are heading out to station one. Danny gets on the radio.

   "Come on, Gaylen. You out there?", he asks.

    "I got a lot of units headed out to station one.", he says.

    Davis points to something.

"What is that? A roll bar?", he asks.

    Danny looks over at Davis.

"You reinforce this thing?", Davis asks. Danny hesitates to answer.

   He sighs.

"The first time i met Gaylen was 23 years ago...", Danny starts.

Meanwhile, Gaylen is carrying the brown sack with the shovel back to the house.

    "On the worst nights of her life.", he continues.

"Her son Kenny and his Date, Darla Cleeway, disappeared on the way to the prom. All they found was a red pickup and no bodies. When Gaylen finally believed what happened to Kenny, she asked if she could join the team.", Danny explains.

   Gaylen sets the sack on a table in the back garden.

   Davis and Danny still driving down the highway. Danny pauses for a moment.

   "That was the beginning for me. Like last night was the beginning for you.", Danny says.

   Davis turns and looks at him.

    Gaylen sets the sack down and stabs the shovel into the ground.

     She goes to the sack and starts unwrapping whatever is inside.

   She does it slowly. As she does so, she sees what looks like fingers sticking up.

     She unwraps it to see that's exactly what it is.

   Its a hand. She moves her hand over to touch it and it moves. Gaylen gasps seeing it move.

   The hand starts to move more freely, as if its still alive. From the barn, Gaylen can hear Rocket become distressed.

    It soon feels like everything has stopped moving.

    Gaylen looks around and has noticed that everything has stopped but the wind is still blowing.

     She then pulls off one of the gloves. She reaches out to touch it. It latches onto her hand and intertwines it's figers with hers.

   Rocket starts acting out in a frightened manner.

    The severed hand begins to lift up into the sky.

    Gaylen tries to break free from its grasp but she cant.

     She screams. The hand lifts her up off the ground. Gaylen then becomes silent. Its as if she was being hypnotized.

    Her eyes roll into the back of her head. It looks like shes having seizure. Her body shaking and her eyes are a solid white as if her eyes have rolled.

    Meanwhile, Addison and Buddy got to Bernardi's and as they pull up, several horses are running rampant.

   Buddy stops the truck. Both kids watch in disbelief of what they just saw.

   "That looks like Wildfire. Thats a $200,000 horse.", Buddy says.

    "Yeah, and that looks like Nightmare with her.", Addison says.

    "What are they doing out?", Addison asks.

"I dont know.", Buddy says.

They continue to pull up to Bernardi's.

   Upon arrival, they see one car with its hood open. They look around and dont see anyone.

   "Where is everybody?", Buddy asks.

They continue to scan the area for somebody. Anybody.

    Buddy get out of the truck to get a better look around. He leaves the truck door open.

    Addison remains inside. Buddy walks up the gravel.

"Buddy.", a voice whispers, causing Buddy to stop walking.

    "Buddy.", another whisper is heard. Buddy looks around for where the whispers are coming from.

   Thats when he spots someone under a car they saw coming in.

   Buddy kneels down to the ground.

"Go tell the sheriff to get up here, and fast.", the man under the car tells Buddy.

   "Tell him to bring everything hes got.", he says. The man is shaken up.

    He scans what he can see.

"Get out of here, and keep your eyes on the sky.", he whispers.

    Buddy looks up to the sky.

"Do it!", the man whispers. Buddy runs back to the truck.

    Addison looks back and sees several others hiding under a large propane tank on 4 wheels.

   They are clearly shaken up and frozen with fear. Buddy jumps into the truck and slams his door.

   "Lock your door.", he instructs Addison.

"Whats going on?", Addison asks.

"I dont know.", buddy says.

    "Theres men under that trailer.", Addison points out.

   Buddy whips his head back to look.

"Roll your window up.", He instructs her.

"Whats happening?", she asks.

    Buddy turns the keys in the ignition but the truck doesnt start. Buddy tries to get it to start but it wont go.

   "Come on!", he hisses.

Both are scared. Then, a phone starts to ring. Mr. Bernardi's phone starts to ring.

   He frantically pulls it out of his pocket and answers it.

"Stop making noise!", he warns.

   "Who's that with you?", Bernardi asks.

"Addison Brandon.", Buddy says.

"Whats going on?", Buddy asks.

    "I got guns in the barn.", Bernardi says.

"Guns?", Buddy repeats back.

"For what?", he asks.

    "Do you think you could make a run for it?", Bernardi asks.

"I'd do it myself if it weren't for this leg and this god damn cane.", Bernardi says.

   "What about those guys under the truck?", Buddy asks.

    "They won't move. They think they know this thing. They got a name for it.", Bernardi says.

    "Mr. Bernardi, what... who are you hiding from?", Buddy asks.

   "I don't know. I've seen them and i still don't know.", Bernardi says.

   "Something came down and got Babaloo.", Bernardi adds.

   "Came down?", Buddy asks.

    Addison turns and gives Buddy a weird look.

   "Spooked the horses so bad they jumped both the fences.", Bernardi pauses.

   "They tried to come down and get me too.", He continues.

  "What did?", Buddy asks.

   Bernardi hesitates to answer.

"Let me tell you, i put up a fight.", Bernardi continues, completely disregarding the question.

    "What are we talking about?", Buddy asks.

"I dropped them out there somewhere...", Bernardi says but is cut off.

   A man slams against the window of the truck, scaring both Buddy and Addison.

   Blood gets on Addison's window. She scoots over to Buddy.

   They man slides down the side of the truck. Addison moves to look but Buddy holds her back
.
   Shadows fly over head. Buddy scoots forward to and looks up to the sky. Addison does the same.

    Buddy has the phone to his ear. Bernardi drops the phone to the ground.

   Behind them, something drops down. Large wings and in all dark clothing.

   The sound of creaking metal can be heard. They both turn to the passenger side window.

   The tank that was previously behind them is flipping over like something big threw it.

   They both turn around. Two figures. Both hold one man each. They hold them up by their throats.

    They smell them but their arent to their liking. They drop them to the ground and they run away.

    They look at Buddy's truck. The two kids duct down, hoping to not be seen. After a moment or so, they look back up.

   They look out the back window and see nothing. Both Alex and the creature can smell something so good and so irresistible.

    The smell only got stronger when Addison and Buddy pulled up. Buddy tries to get the truck started again.

   As he tries to get it started, the creature lands by Buddy's window. Buddy jumps away from his window.

    He takes a deep breath in. He tries to take in their fear.

   His eyes snap open. He looks at Buddy. Then he tilts his head to look behind Buddy.

   He looks at Addison. The creature grins. He has smelt the same scent before. He reconizes it.

   The creature remains on Buddy's side. Thats when Alex drops in on the other side.

    Addison screams. They now jump to Buddy's side.

   Alex takes his index finger and presses it against the bloody window. He makes a clearing of blood.

   He looks through the clearing at Addison. He presses his nose against the window.

   His nose begins to flare open and close. Hes smelling her too. Both now have their eyes set on Addison.

   Alex roars, causing the glass to crack. He then strikes the window, shattering it to pieces.

   Addison and Buddy try to protect themselves from the glass flying in.

   Alex uses his wings to help push the truck over on its side. The creature moves out of the way just in time.

    Alex reaches in and grabs Addison. Both creatures fly upswards before anyone could even blink an eye.

Buddy's back is pressed up against the driver's window.

He didnt even see them take Addison until he was aware of everything again.

Bernardi watches as they take her away.

Buddy looks up and tries to get himself up out of the truck. Like that, she was gone....

//I am back on a roll and gonna keep going
