EPILOGUE | {PART 1}

The whole group stands at the safe house as the sun sets. Alicia is still sedated, and is sleeping in one of the vans. Everyone else is outside, watching in the direction of The Red Weather Corp compound. Lyndsey is cradled into Maree's arms, tears falling down her face.

"She made it." Chris says. "It's Elyza. I know she did. She could just be held up by something. Do we have to leave? Can we just wait a little while longer?" Chris is looking to his dad. Begging him to just give her a little more time.

Travis shakes his head. "She told Lyndsey, that we are to leave at nightfall, Chris. I'm sorry." He goes to bring Chris in for a hug, but Chris dodges it.

"She fucking made it." He says, before going into the van that Alicia is in.

Everyone starts piling into the vans. Lyndsey and Maree are the very last to enter. Maree takes out her knife and goes to the wall of the house. She starts carving something into the siding. She looks at it, and then turns to walk to the van. Lyndsey smiles as she reads what Maree wrote. 'Went East, Bitch.'

Alicia's eyes shoot open, several hours after they left the safe house.

"Elyza." She says, holding her hand to her heart.

At the same time, miles away, Elyza's eyes do the same.

"Hodnes." Elyza whispers.
