Down the steep path, the screaming stops with a cutting gurgle, and Ellie's footsteps flutter off into nothing, silence as she melts back into the shadows.

Joel gets to cover just in time, as four more men come pounding up the path, hot on their trail.

Ellie is nowhere in sight, and they immediately spread out, talking in hushed, angry voices and sticking together, within sight of each other.

One of the men is nearly on Joel, when a soft gagging noise cuts the night, and one of the men falls to his knees. The one next to him gives a wordless yell of alarm and shoots wildly into the dark.

There is a stumbling sound, a soft yip of pain, very close, across the path from Joel. All three of the remaining men are between Joel and Ellie, and all of them know where she is.
