[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Harry, I’m sorry but I’m…I’m not coming. Not—not right now. I don’t know when I’ll be able to—I mean, I know I can’t stay. I know that I have to keep moving, that I can’t let myself become a sitting duck for Junior to— [click, static] I buried Donnie today. It took…all day. It wasn’t easy or pleasant or— I just wanted to give him some peace. I think I picked a spot tha...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Breaker, breaker, this is Whiskey Alpha Romeo calling out for anyone else who might be out there.  [click, static] Maybe my mistake this whole time was not staying in the Northeast—everything is so close here, and now that I know why—or at least, I have an idea why certain people are here and others aren’t—it stands to reason that most of the people who’d be in this pl...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Okay, Donnie and I have been having a fun time playing, well, if not “house”…”normal weekend away and the world is just outside the door”, but now that we’ve just…agreed to disagree about Junior, we realized it’s time for the old crew reunion to be complete.  Donnie thinks it’s going to be easier for me to just go get Harry, than to try and broadcast something to tell...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] God, it’s fucking helpful having someone else around to bounce ideas off of. My stupid hungover brain wasn’t exactly functioning at the highest point this morning but I think we burned through so many conversational topics last night that over breakfast we actually talked seriously about this whole…deal. Not just the Junior of it all, not just the basics, but the parti...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] (tipsy) Donnie and I have kissed and made up.  Well, obviously we haven’t kissed. But, you know what I mean. We drank a lot of beer—apparently the moment he got to Massachusetts, he started stockpiling, which is really so typical. But it helped. Our issues are resolved. Without anyone having to kiss anybody else.  (a laugh) Poor Donnie. He was pretty sad when I told hi...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Okay, Donnie is driving me crazy, in that way that he always had, that I guess I’d just forgotten in the years and the distance. And I just need to… [click, static] I needed a break.  I wonder if bull-headed people just draw in other bull-headed people. Like attracts like, right? Or maybe it’s simply a necessity of our profession. Or maybe we were drawn to criminal ent...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Breaker, breaker, this is Whiskey calling out for Harry—I don’t know if you can hear this where you are, or if you’re even listening, or if you’re just waiting in that gallery for me to show up, but you might have to wait a little bit longer.  Donnie wants to solve the Junior problem. And we both think it’s probably safer for you to stay put where you are while we figu...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] So, today I asked Donnie what he remembered about me.  I thought you all might enjoy an update.  At first he, of course, turned the question around on me. I don’t think he heard my entire transmission the other day talking about it, about feeling safe around him, but he knows I’ve talked a little about everyone—and yeah, I think I’m okay to talk about my perception of...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] You know, it’s so funny how people don’t change, even in the kind of extraordinary circumstance we’re in. The apocalypse, an empty world, seven years of trying to find each other and Donnie still cannot wake up before ten AM.  I don’t know when I became an early riser. I thought it was one of those things that just happened as you got older, but it clearly doesn’t happ...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] So…I found him! I fucking found him. I don’t even— [click, static] The whistling. I thought I was losing my mind at first. It was so weak, and kept going out before I could catch all of it but I knew— I mean, that’s our whistle. Our lookout whistle. Who else could it be but Don? And after all this time and so many attempts to find Birdie or…or anyone, driving around un...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Except I don’t, remember? Because I had to abandon the car that I’d been driving and all the supplies I’d built up over the last few months after the last time Junior tried to kill me.  [click, static] “You have gun too”…I swear to fucking god. What is your game Fox? Who are you? Are you just bored? Has my intrepid journey through the country not been enough entertainm...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] You said it could be fixed. Weeks ago, Fox you said—I think you only sent the message once, maybe because you were worried Birdie would interfere, but I—I heard it. And I…I couldn’t think about it, couldn’t let myself hope yet, not when I was already so hopeful I would find Don.  Was this what you meant by it being fixable? Is my death at the hands of that boy the way...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] (a slight intake of breath) [click, static] Do you think I’m a fucking idiot, Fox? Did you think that you’d earned my trust simply by the virtue of being one of the few people in the world I talk to? Did you think that having sent me Leann’s coordinates before meant I would blindly follow wherever you led? I know I said there was no harm in trying, that it’s good to ha...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Maybe it’s fucking foolish of me to even attempt it, but the coordinates aren’t far and the last time I found a dead body—if these are really coordinates of someone alive and I have a chance to get to them before anything happens…I’m not taking that risk.  It’s a small diversion but Don didn’t show up at the house. No one did. And maybe…maybe Fox is doing me an actual...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] I think I’m close. To finding Don that is. I got to his uncle’s house and there’s definitely evidence that someone’s been living here. I guess it’s possible that his uncle, or his cousins, were also affected by the ripple, but…how? Don kept what he did from his family. Then again, I still don’t know how Leann ended up here—I have a feeling I’ll never really know. I gue...

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] I remembered that Don had family in Massachusetts. His uncle and cousins ran a deli in a town called Winchester—the way that man would talk about the sandwiches they’d make…god, what I wouldn’t do for one of them right now.  Anyway, I figured it couldn’t hurt to check the place out. He wasn’t at the deli—I didn’t expect him to be, that would’ve been quite the fucking c...
