The Quest team was now walking in the woods along the English countryside, they were still soaked and wet after swimming in the River Thames getting away from the tripods. They come upon a house, as they walk towards it when suddenly a man comes to the door pointing a rifle at them. The man was weak looking, he had large pale blue eyes and flaxen curls. His hands were trembling as he continues to point the rifle.

"Look sir, we really need help." said Jonny

"The end times are among us." He said as begins to ramble

"What is your name?" Doctor Quest asked

"George." The man responded as he's clearly terrified

"Okay George, my name is Doctor Quest and these are my friends and we would like to come in and talk." he spoke

"Yeah, so why don't you stop pointing the rifle and let us in please?" said Race backing up Doctor Quest

George nodded his head and lowered the rifle and let them inside, they go in and they explain the events.

"The Lord has prophesized this, that he would send outer worldly forces to punish mankind for their wickedness." Said George

"This guy is missing a lot of cards in the deck if you know what I mean." Said Jonny whispering to Hadji.

"All right everyone, it looks like we're going to be here for a while." Said Race

"We are going to need food." Said Hadji

"There is food in the pantry," said George

"Okay. Jonny and Hadji you two go in the pantry and divide the food in case we're here for days. Also, we'll all sleep in the living room that way we'll all be together. So, Jess you and Miss Henderson go and find some blankets." Said Race taking charge

Race noticed a concerned look on Doctor Quest's face

"Are okay Benton?" he asked

"I'm just wondering how we could we have missed this? With all the research and studying and missions to Mars, how could we have not known?" Doctor Quest asked

"Look Benton, it doesn't matter if we would've known or not, the fact is that they're here and they have caused death and destruction so far. So right now, the only that matter is our survival. We have to be strong especially for the kids." Said Race

Jonny and Hadji are in the pantry, they have taken out most of the food and divided it. Jonny looked at Hadji and sensed that something was wrong, Hadji is a young man with tremendous amount of stoicism.

"Are you okay Hadj?" Jonny asked concerned

"I have a terrible feeling that the end is near for us." Hadji responded

"Come on Hadj, we have been cheating death since we were twelve. Look at all the things that we've survived, terrorists, assassins, lizard men and killer robots." Said Jonny

"I just fear that things are going to get worse." Said Hadji

"Well, if the worse comes we'll face it together like always." Said Jonny placing his hand on his shoulder.

"Aw, look at you two getting all mushy." Said Jessie teasing

"All right everyone, I think it's time to get some sleep. I will stay up take watch." Said Race

They some grabbed blankets and pillows and went to sleep.


A few hours later, Jonny is woken up by a loud clanging sound, he gets up and sees Race going down into basement. He goes to follow him; he gets down to the basement and sees George digging.

"What the Hell are you doing?" Race asked

"I am digging a tunnel." George responded

"Why don't you relax and come upstairs with the rest of us." Race suggested

"No, because you are wicked! Mankind is doomed!" George shouted as he begins to have a nervous breakdown.

Suddenly George swings the shovel at Race. Race ducks and hits him in the stomach and then in the jaw with a right cross sending him down, but George gets back up and tackles Race to the Ground. George places his hands on Race's throat and starts to choke him. Jonny runs in and grabs the shovel and hits George over the head knocking him unconscious.

"Nice work Jon, you saved my life," said Race

"Oh God did I kill him?" said Jonny stunned

Race goes to check his pulse "It's okay Jon, he's still alive." Race assured him

"What do we do now?" Jonny asked

"Find some rope." Race ordered

Jonny goes and finds some rope; they pick George up and sits him the chair and tie him up.

"What next?" Jonny asked

"I want you to go back upstairs with the others, I'll stay down here and keep an eye on him." Race ordered

George comes to and starts struggling against the ropes.

"I'm sorry George, but I can't let you get us all killed." Said Race
