<strong>Eric</strong><br/><br/>Rachel leaned forward from the back seat, catching a glimpse of the woman setting the car down in the street. She had to remind herself to close her mouth.<br/><br/>"What the hell is going on here?" she breathed, a rhetorical question.<br/><br/>"The blue beams. They do things to people," Virginia said, sounding somewhat distant as though thinking about this very thing. She looked at Eric. "I can't figure out why, though. And 'only one' what, like you said. Only one ability? Only one day, until we all die?"<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Alana</strong><br/><br/>Rene thanked Alana for patching her up. The bandages on her face looked much better than the drying blood had.<br/><br/>"I haven't noticed any pattern to the beams. They seem to come down at random times and locations. I just hope it's not some kind of radiation," Rene offered.<br/><br/>When Alana explained what she was doing with the supplies, Rene pitched in, rooting around for a bag to put the stuff in. "We should stay here, until Eric gets back. He dropped me and Desmond off, then went back to get the others at the border. Maybe when we're all together we can figure out what to do next."
