Jess screamed in fear, getting everyone's attention.

Gerry ran over to the ghastly sight.

"Jess, you don't want to see this." He said. "Nima, could you?"

Nima walked over to Jess.

"Yeah." Nima said. "Come with me, Jess...try not to look, ok?"

Gerry knelt down to inspect the man and the mound he was partially buried in.

The man moved his eye.

"My God!" Gerry said. "He's alive!"

Sorkin went to the man.

"His pulse is faint, but it's there. Look for bite marks."

"Bite marks?" Gerry asked. "Yes, yes. They look just like..."

"Just like the ones Nima had, I know." Sorkin said. "He's alive, but only technically. He's paralyzed and almost certainly brain dead. This is the venom's final stage."

Gerry inspected a bloodied area around the man's torso.

"Laura!" Gerry said in shock. He was holding a bloodied egg.

"Eggs...it is a nest!" Sorkin said in surprise. "I thought the structure looked like the nest of a cassowary, maybe an emu, but without eggs, I couldn't be sure."

"Yes, but, but...they're inside him!" Gerry said.

"If you asked me five minutes ago, I'd have told you such behavior didn't exist outside of class Insecta, but now-" Sorkin said.

"Laura!" Gerry said. "He's a human being!"

"I'm sorry." Sorkin said. "You're absolutely right."

Gerry continued inspecting the man.

"This guy's dressed a lot like you, Billy." Gerry said.

"Does he have a tattoo on his arm?" Yoder asked, still leaning on the locker. "Like mine?"

"Yes...yes he does." Gerry said.

Yoder punched the locker again.

"What the hell's going on over there?" Yoder asked. "Is he alive or not?"

"He's alive...but in a comatose state...something has laid eggs in his abdomen." Gerry said.

"Something what?!" Yoder said in shock.

"The...victim is being kept alive by a-" Gerry tried to explain, but was interrupted.

"D-Caf." Yoder said.

"I'm sorry?" Gerry said, confused.

"The "victim" is Daniel Cafaro." Yoder explained. "Another throwaway goon."

"Oh, my God..." Sorkin said. "I knew they'd gotten out somehow, but I never thought..."

"You knew about this?!" Yoder said, his voice rising. "You knew?!"

Yoder shoved Sorkin and pulled out his M1918 Trench knife.

"I'll kill you!" Yoder screamed.
