<strong>Alana</strong><br/><br/>The redhead calms down when she realizes her guy isn't going to die at any moment. He's sleeping on the gurney, his leg bandaged up and his body swimming with painkillers and antibiotics.<br/><br/>"Alana, thank you so much," the woman said after a deep breath. "I'm Rene, and this is Desmond, my husband. And what can I say about the wall."<br/><br/>She paused, and then told Alana about the invisible barrier that crossed the highway, and how they had smashed into it. She also told the doctor about Jack, Eric, Rachel and Stephanie, the only other people in town Rene had seen yet, and she mentioned seeing the columns of blue light.<br/><br/>Rene sat down in the nearest chair, heaving a heavy sigh. "I don't know what any of this means. All I know is this is the worst fucking vacation I've ever taken."<br/><br/><br/><strong>Sandy</strong><br/><br/>Sandy puts the truck in gear and starts to drive from Old Down to the downtown. She still sees no one on the road, no people anywhere. As she reaches the outskirts of downtown, her truck is suddenly bathed in blue light and she screams as she experiences the worst pain she has ever felt in her life. Fortunately, it doesn't last long as she passes out.<br/><br/>Sandy blinks open her eyes, finding herself still in the truck, though it's not moving. When she passed out the truck had run up on the curb, slowing down until it bumped into the side of a building. There didn't appear to be any damage, and Sandy was relieved to see she seemed unhurt.<br/><br/>The pain was gone, as was the bright light, whatever it had been. She felt a little woozy, though, and she opened the door to step out for a breath of air.<br/><br/>As Sandy stepped from the truck, still holding the door, she sneezed suddenly and heard a groaning sound from the truck. She looked to see that the door had torn halfway off. More than a little startled, she pulled on the handle and tore the door clean free, holding it up before her like it weighed no more than a paper envelope.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Eric and Jack</strong><br/><br/>Everyone agreed with Jack that the clinic in downtown was the place to go. Jack, Rachel, Stephanie and Scrap piled into the rear of the SUV as Virginia got into the driver's seat beside Eric.<br/><br/>"That invisible wall is just about the damn strangest thing I've ever seen," Virginia said, starting the car. Again, Eric noticed that she did it with no keys in the ignition.<br/><br/>She turned the SUV around and began to drive back toward town.<br/><br/>"It's a relief to find another person!" Rachel said from the back seat. "Maybe there are even more of us!"<br/><br/>Scrap, who had been happy in Rachel's arms up to this point, scampered forward and made his way to the front seat to nestle in Eric's lap. The terrier still seemed nervous, but a little more like his old self.<br/><br/>Entering the downtown area, Virginia slowed the SUV as they came alongside the movie theater. On the marque above the front doors there was only one movie listed, the title: "Only One."<br/><br/>"That's ... strange. That's the same message that's on the television," Virginia said.<br/><br/>
