"Aaaand we are officially late." Gerry Harding said to Jess as they drove down a service road.

"I was ready when you said!" Jess said. "I just couldn't find my book."

"It's fine, sweetheart." Gerry said. "They won't leave without us."

"Us?" Jess asked. "You're coming to Dallas?"

"Oh! Just to the mainland." Gerry explained. "I have to be back after the storm. I'll drive you to the airport!"

"Okay." Jess said softly.

"That's weird." Gerry said as they drove past an electric fence. "The fence lights are out."

"Is that a bad thing?" Jess asked.

"I'm sure it's just fine." Gerry said. "Somebody just needs to repace 'em."

Gerry turned on the radio, and garbled Latin music played.

"The radio signal isn't so great out here, isn't it?" Gerry said.

"Mhm." Jess said quietly.

As Gerry and Jess drove down the road, they never noticed a shattered East Dock sign laying on the ground.

"Look, Jess..." Gerry said, trying to break the silence. "I've been working so hard, we just...we haven't had much time to talk."

"Uh oh." Jess said.

"Jess, your mom told me about the...the shoplifting." Gerry said.

"I was just fooling around!" Jess explained. "I didn't take anything good. What did she say?"

"Look, she's worried about you, honey." Gerry said. "I know, she get's dramatic, but...it was a shock for her. Got me a little worried too."

"I know, I know. I'm a screw-up." Jess said.

"Sweetheart, no, no." Gerry said. "It's...it's not that at all. I just...I want you to promise me-"

"Dad!" Jess yelled out.

Ahead of them, a person stumbled onto the middle of the road.

Beeping the horn, Gerry slammed on the brakes and tried to swerve out of the way. Their Magnette knocked the woman to the ground.

"Dammit!" Gerry swore.

He got out and went over to the person, a woman.

"Oh my God!" Jess yelled. "Is she dead!?"

"No, no, she's alive, she's breathing..." Gerry said. Gerry knelt down to the woman.

"Hello! Can you hear me!" Gerry said loudly. The woman faintly moved.

"This is strange." Gerry said, noticing a wound on her arm. "It's like some kind of-"

"¡Ojos!" Nima said. She then fell silent.

"She needs medical attention." Gerry said. "We've got to get her to the Visitor's Center."

"Who is she?" Jess asked. "Do you know her?"

"I don't recognize her," Gerry said. "But it doesn't matter. Were you serious when you said you could drive a car?"

"Oh...yeah! I can do it." Jess said. "Mom doesn't know, but-"

"Look, that's all right." Gerry said. "Just get yourself up front...try not to scare me."

"Ok." Jess said.

A clicking snarl erupted from the bushes ahead and a creature hidden in the darkness darted across the road.

"All right." Gerry said. "Let's go. C'mon sweetheart, we gotta get her out of here."

Gerry picked up Nima and carried her to the Magnette.

As they left, three pairs of eyes lit up in the darkness.
