[Clayton's in Miranda's boat here--this is getting out of hand very quickly and there's so little he can do about it that it's almost painful to watch. The fact that the monster kind of is the situation and he's guiding it around doesn't really occur to him; all he can think about is how it moves so much faster than the one at the sports shed, and how it's forcing him away from the door, around the corner.]

[At least Miranda's going inside and Enoch and Dio are both going for House. Priorities seem to be in order there. Clayton calls after them anyways, just to make himself feel better.]

Enoch, Dio--get both arms, bring 'em in! [He's having to pick up the pace now. Walking quickly backwards is not going to cut it, not this time.] I'll lead it 'round, somebody hold the door so I--Clem!

[Jesus fucking H Christ on a cracker what is she doing outside and running towards them fuck fuck fuck]

[For the first time this entire encounter, Clayton raises his voice in a sharp shout.]

Clementine, get inside! Git! Go! Watch Quark!

[And that's all he has time for. The monster is rapidly gaining ground, close enough that a pang of dizziness and nausea makes Clayton stumble, but he regains his footing quickly and turns it into a spin around the corner of the gas station. His shadowy friend diligently follows him and they both disappear behind the wall.]
