[THE CONVOY STOPS BEFORE THE GATE GETTING OUT WITH THEIR RIFLES RAISED, KC LIGHTS WITH THE UVs ON BEKZ'S TRUCK LIGHTING THE FRONT WHILE THE HUMVEE WITH LEDs LIGHT UP PURPLE ON THE SIDES AND REAR]
[DANIEL] Okay, split up and grab what you can. Wardog, you're with me.
[GUNFIRE ERUPTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CONVOY, LOBLEY RIPPING OFF SOME BURSTS FROM THE .50 ON THE HUMVEE]
[BRANT] Zeeks on our six!
[DANIEL] Unleash hell boys!
[LOBLEY AND BRANT] RAHHHHH!
[FERALS CRAWL OUT OF THE TENTS AND FROM UNDER THE VEHICLES, THE SUNLIGHT MAKING THEM ATTACK BLINDLY BUT THE PERSUIT OF FRESH UNINFECTED MAMMALS DRIVES THE VIRUS FORWARD DESPITE THE PAIN OF THE UV RAYS]
[DANIEL TAKES COVER BEHIND A ROADBLOCK WHILE BEKZ DOES THE SAME]
[AS DANIEL'S ATTENTION IS ON A FERAL THAT'S TOO CLOSE, ONE JUMPS THE ROADBLOCK INFRONT OF BEKZ WHILE SHE'S RELOADING AND THEY GO TUMBLING]
[EXTREME CLOSE UP OF DANIEL'S HORROR] BEKZ!!
[THE FERAL SINKS IT'S TEETH INTO HER EXPOSED NECK, IT DOESN'T RIP OUT THE SKIN BECAUSE ONCE IT BITES IT'S SKULL BURSTS OPEN ALL OVER THE PAVEMENT]
[ROURKE] Lobley's down!
[BRANT] There's...
[HIS VOICE FADES]
[DANIEL PULLS BEKZ INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK, DANIEL FLIPPING UP THE VISOR ON HIS HELMET LOOKING AT EACH OTHER]
[THEN BEKZ GETS HIT IN THE OTHER SIDE OF HER NECK WITH A DART, IT'S FLETCHING RED]
[BEKZ TAKES IT OUT] Danny? I...
[POV SHOT OF HER EYES CLOSING AND DANIEL BLURRING OUT, A RED DART NOT PUNCTURING HIS BIKE ARMOR]
[A FIGURE IN A WHITE HAZMAT SUIT HITS DANIEL STRIGHT ON IN THE NOSE WITH THE BUTT OF HIS RIFLE]
[BLACKOUT]
[WHEN BEKZ AWAKENS SHE'S IN A DIMLY LIT ROOM, THE WALLS GREY CONCRETE, A TWO SIDED MIRROR IS AGAINST THE FAR WALL, A SILVER LATRINE AND SINK ARE AT ONE CORNER OF THE ROOM, HER WRISTS, ANKLES, AND CHEST ARE STRAPPED DOWN TO THE BED, SHE EVEN HAS A MASK STRAPPED TO HER FACE LIKE A HUMAN MUZZLE]
[FROM A SECURITY CAM IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM BEKZ CALLS OUT ARCHING HER BACK] DANNY! DANNNYYYYY!!
[SHE STRUGGLES TO GET OUT OF THE RESTRAINTS BUT IT'S NO USE, ALL HER GEAR HAS BEEN CONFINSCATED AND SWAPPED FOR BLACK SWEATPANTS, NO SOCKS, AND JUST HER TOP RELIEVING SOME TATTOOS ON HER BODY]
[THE DOOR OPENS OUT OF A SEAM IN THE WALL]
[A BLACK TACTICAL BOOT STEPS IN, BLACK TACTICAL PANTS SET DOWN A CHAIR AND SIT IN IT BACKWARDS, THEN A FULL SHOT OF DANIEL HOLDING BEKZ'S COFFEE MUG AND SOME TAPE ON THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE SENDS HER A CROOKED SMILE] Not who you were expecting?
[BEKZ GLARES AT HIM] What. The. Cuss?
[DANIEL POINTS AND BEKZ LOOKS AT THE GAUZE ON HER NECK AND REMEMBERS SHE WAS BIT, SHE WAS INFECTED, HER EYES GO WIDE] Go! Get out of here. I don't want to hurt you.
[DANIEL CHUCKLES] Don't worry. Doc says your not infected.
[BEKZ] Doc? And I was bit.
[A MAN IN A WHITE LAB COAT, LED GLASSES, AND A BLUE COLLAR SHIRT WITH JEANS AND WHITE CONVERS ENTERS THE ROOM] You were bit. You 100% had the live state of the virus. But what your body did with it is remarkable.
[BEKZ BLINKS] I don't follow.
[DOC NODS TO DANIEL WHO SETS THE MUG DOWN ON THE CHAIR AND UNFASTENS BEKZ RESTRAINTS]
[BEKZ PULLS HER FACE AWAY]
[DANIEL WHISPERS] It's okay. I promise.
[DOC GESTURES TO THE MIRROR] Take a look.
[BEKZ BARE FEET TOUCH THE COLD CONCRETE AND SHE GOES TO LOOK IN THE TWO SIDED MIRROR, HER BRIGHT BROWN EYES HAVE FILLED THE ENTIRE SCARLA BLACK, SHE TOCHES A SHOCKED FINGER TO HER EYELIDS PULLING ONE OF THEM DOWN]
[DOC] You were exposed to the traditional rabies virus as a child and received the vaccine for it. Your mother contracted RABV30 who recovered with a modified vaccine to the one you previously received. Your father contracted RAB30's mutated self in '32. Unfortunately both your biological parents did pass, but you were exposed to all four strands of the virus. RABV, RABV30, RABV30-beta, and now RAB33-gamma variants. Your body found a way how to trap it and contain the viral proteins so it could not infect the rest of your body. Even before it made it passed the blood brain barrier.
[BEKZ] But how?...
[DOC REACHES OUT A HAND TO SHAKE] My name is Dr. William Casey. Lead virologist.
[FULL PAGE OF BEKZ SHAKING THE DOC'S HAND WHILE DANIEL STANDS JUST BEHIND HER]
[DOC] That's what we're here to find out.
