September 18, 2019, 6:00 p.m. -- Mary Todd Lincoln High School ROOFTOP --
On the roof of Mary Todd Lincoln High, the students are laying low, trying to keep themselves from blowing away in the wind. The students can hear motors and sirens wailing down the street towards them. Two safety boats turn the corner and rush towards the school, dropping anchors into the flood waters.
Paloma, Mark, and Adrien burst onto the rooftop, carrying a barely-conscious Thayer. “It was all Dakota Johnson Smit…” He closes his eyes.
“Somebody help him!” Paloma and they boys set Thayer down on his side, his blood spilling onto the rooftop. Martin makes his way back up the fire escape and rips off his shirt to cover up Thayer.
Thayer opens his eyes dramatically and grabs Paloma’s arm. “Paloma,” he whispers. “My gay porn.. Is.. still inside. You can’t let it die with me. Please..” He closes his eyes again.
Paloma turns towards the roof door. Martin presses his shirt on Thayer’s back.
“Students!,” Agent Weathers calls from the boat using a bullhorn. “We are here to rescue you! I’m coming up!” Agent Weathers jumps from the boat onto the fire escape and makes her way to the top.
Grant pulls Kimberly into his arms and walks her to the edge of the building. “It’s okay, Kim. You’re going to be okay. Don’t go into the light. It’ll be there next time.”
Kimberly faints in Grants arms, and he lays her on the side of the building. Agent Weathers makes her way onto the roof and over to them. “We need to get her into the boat,” she tells Grant.
“Yeah, obviously,” he spits back at her. “And the rest of us, too. Isn’t that what you’re here for?”
“Just go to the fucking fire escape,” she rolls her eyes. At the fire escape, Athena has already made her way down, tired of everybody else’s bullshit. She safely gets into one of the boats and is handed a rain poncho.
Gideon begins his descent, with Cara on his back. He slips due to the weight, but is able to catch himself. Cara claws into his shoulders. “Don’t drop me!”
“I won’t, I won’t” He continues down the fire escape and safely into one of the boats.
Paloma kisses the top of Thayer’s head and turns to run back in to the school for Thayer’s gay porn. Dakota, standing next to Brad, watches as Paloma goes back into the school and follows her.
Adrien helps Mark carry Thayer to the fire escape. “Jesus,” Agent Weathers looks at Thayer. “I don’t know if he’s going to make it.”
“He has to,” Adrien looks at her.
“I don’t really care either way,” Mark shrugs. Adrien hits him. Mark hits Adrien back.
“Knock it off,” Agent Weathers flicks both of them on the top of their head. “Just get him into the boat before I charge you both with manslaughter.”
Slowly, everybody begins to make their way into the safety boat. Sissy and Holly go one after the other. Adrien hugs Holly as she enters the boat. Thayer instinctively opens one of his eyes and glares at them before closing it again. Brad sees a few pairs of boobs in the boats and assumes Dakota has to be down there, making his way as well.
Bernie makes his way over to Agent Weathers. “Grant killed Anne Olive, and I’m pretty sure Sara Sarah.”
“Kid, I’ve been singing that tune since day one, and it’s not catching on,” she sighs.
“No,” Bernie shakes his head. “I swear. I have proof. There was a body in his locker, and and and, I have evidence on *my* phone of texts from *his* phone the night he killed Sara.” Bernie takes his phone out of his pocket, but the phone is destroyed from the water.
Agent Weathers looks down at the broken phone. “Uh huh,” she nods. She motions towards the fire escape. “We need to get out of here first. Is this everybody?”
Bernie looks around, and there’s obviously people missing. “I think, maybe. But there’s still others inside. They might need help… if they’re still alive.”
